Description

The OECD's TALIS 2013 dataset contains international survey data from teachers and school principals on school conditions, teaching and learning environments, professional development, and working conditions across 38 countries.

Components

• TALIS 2013 principal survey dataset used for cross-national control analysis: The study analyzes the TALIS 2013 dataset collected by the OECD, which "provides background information of the school, teaching and learning environment, professional development, and working conditions of teachers and principals from 38 countries." The authors used principal surveys at lower-secondary schools; "the final sample included 7,436 schools from 38 countries." Private schools were excluded, and four binary items measured external versus internal control over assessment, hiring, learning materials, and budget allocation. (Kim et al. (2019))

Claims

• Across 38 countries, external control is highest in assessment and lowest in curriculum and budget [+W]
• A few countries follow relatively pure accountability logics, but most countries follow mixed forms [+W]
• Extreme country cases: Spain reports universal external control of hiring while the Netherlands reports universal internal control of HR, curriculum, and budget [+W]
• Country classifications of control type differ sharply by domain: mixed control dominates assessment, internal control dominates curriculum [+W]
• Distributions of external control scores differ across school-function domains, with curriculum skewing toward internal control [+W]
