1. Troubling Trends: An International Decline in Attitudes toward Reading. IEA Compass: Briefs in Education. Number 8

Author

International Association for the Evaluation of Educational Achievement (IEA) (Netherlands) and Hooper, Martin

Abstract

Trend results from the Progress in International Reading Literacy Study (PIRLS) show a decline from 2001 through 2016 in most countries in fourth graders' and their parents' reading attitudes, as measured by students like reading and parents like reading scale scores. Average students like reading scale scores, as reported by the students themselves, decreased between 2001 and 2016 in 13 of the 18 countries that participated in all cycles of PIRLS. Educators and educational policymakers should take notice of these falling trends in reading attitudes. Current curricula may need to be reevaluated to support the development of positive attitudes toward reading. Given that the results show the decline in reading attitudes involves not just students but also parents, policymakers should consider widespread campaigns and programs to promote positive attitudes toward reading among adults and families.

2. ePIRLS 2016: International Results in Online Informational Reading

Author

International Association for the Evaluation of Educational Achievement (IEA) (Netherlands), Boston College, TIMSS & PIRLS International Study Center, Mullis, Ina V. S., Martin, Michael O., Foy, Pierre, and Hooper, Martin

Abstract

The Internet has become the primary source for obtaining information at work, at home, and for school. Because Internet reading increasingly is becoming one of the central ways students are acquiring information, in 2016, the Progress in International Reading Literacy Study (PIRLS) was extended to include ePIRLS--an innovative assessment of online reading. ePIRLS is a computer-based assessment that uses an engaging, simulated Internet environment to present fourth grade students with authentic school-like assignments involving science and social studies topics. The "ePIRLS 2016 International Results in Online Informational Reading" includes four chapters or sections providing numerous exhibits summarizing student achievement on ePIRLS compared to PIRLS overall and at the PIRLS 2016 International Benchmarks. Results also are presented in relation to students' home and school contexts for learning to read online.
