Measuring indicators on education for sustainable development and global citizenship education with International Large-Scale Assessments
Speakers: Andres Sandoval Hernandez, Maria Magdalena Isac, Diego Carrasco, Daniel Miranda

TIme: 9 AM EST
When UN Member States adopted the 2030 Agenda and its 17 Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), there was not much discussion about how these goals were going to be measured. As we enter the Decade of Action, deciding on a measurement strategy for all SDGs and their targets has become a pressing issue. We will present a recently developed strategy for assessing two indicators that embody tolerance, respect and sustainable development:
Indicator 4.7.4: Percentage of students by age group (or education level) showing adequate understanding of issues relating to global citizenship and sustainability.
Indicator 4.7.5: Percentage of 15-year-old students showing proficiency in knowledge of environmental science and geoscience.
Our measurement strategy is based on International Large-Scale Assessments (ILSAs) in education and includes a conceptual framework, measurement models, a process to generate proficiency scores, and a method for establishing a threshold of ‘adequate’ and ‘satisfactory’ performance for Indicators 4.7.4 and 4.7.5, respectively. This measurement strategy has been reviewed and endorsed by the UIS’ Technical Cooperation Group on the Indicators for SDG 4-Education 2030 (TCG), which is responsible for the development and maintenance of the thematic indicator framework for the follow-up and review of SDG 4. The resulting scores are available on the UIS database.
