Abstract
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 has become a pressing issue.
In this presentation we describe a recently developed strategy for assessing two indicators:
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 lower-secondary students showing proficiency in knowledge of environmental science and geoscience.
This measurement strategy is based on data from two IEA studies: ICCS and TIMSS. Our strategy includes a conceptual framework, measurement models, a process to generate proficiency scores, and a method for establishing thresholds to indicate ‘adequate’ and ‘proficiency’ for Indicators 4.7.4 and 4.7.5, respectively.
