Since international student achievement surveys were introduced in the 1960s, Sweden has participated in a large number of them. These surveys initially revealed unexpectedly low achievement levels in Sweden relative to other participating countries; however, there were some more positive findings and interpretations in the 1970s and 1980s. The results from the 1990s onwards have been more discouraging for Swedish educational policy and practice. In recent years,some improvements have been seen, although there is some controversy surrounding these interpretations. In Sweden ,international achievement surveys play an important role inframing political discussions about educational outcomes, and they are used for education policy monitoring. Nevertheless, it is hard to establish causal links between particular reforms and such uses of international achievement data. Moreover, the Swedish case illustrates how selective national uptake of these international measures is embedded in and contingent on contextual and historical national circumstances and reform trajectories.

This research methods case (more accurately, cases) discusses the use of online questionnaires. We focus on two projects that help us showcase the range of considerations and many decision points involved with using online questionnaires to collect data. Our case?the conduct of course evaluations in a community college and a regional educational needs assessmentbring to light advantages and disadvantages of online questionnaires relative to paper. The projects also demonstrate the importance of collaboration with stakeholders (subject matter experts, clients, and target populations) in achieving objectives. Through these examples from the field and our lessons learned, we suggest strategies for ensuring that projects using online questionnaires are able to meet the needs of all parties.

This chapter provides information on results of international achievement surveys and their use in monitoring educational outcomes in Finland. The educational monitoring system in Finland differs from that of many other countries. So far, little attention has been paid to its lack of standardised measurements and official control. Furthermore, Finnish education policies are strongly driven not by the aim to reach high rankings in international assessments but rather by the emphasis on quality and equity of education. This chapter describes the Finnish education system, its core curriculum for basic education and teacher training. We also review international achievement survey results and the education policy monitoring of the country in general. At the end of the chapter, we take a closer look at some monitoring results that have had an impact on political reforms and policy changes. ; nonPeerReviewed
