Where to find international datasets?

 IEA Data and Tools Repository provides:

  • Datasets from each ICILS cycle containing the complete set of responses from students, school principals and teachers from countries participating in the study;
  • Technical documentation, user guides, codebooks, and variable information;
  • Source versions of the questionnaires and a description of the national adaptations applied.

Available data formats: SAS and SPSS.

It is a simple way to enrich the analyses with information that is particularly relevant in Poland and to interpret the results more effectively. We encourage you to download the dataset and see what additional insights it can provide.

How to analyse study data?

Do you want to analyse ICILS data? Here you will find practical information compiled for people who want to carry out such analyses independently, including those who are just becoming familiar with the specifics of international large-scale assessments (ILSA). We describe the most popular software and packages for analysing ILSA data and how to use them in practice. We also provide step-by-step guidance on how to conduct analyses—from where to download the data, through information on data structure and variable names, to examples of specific analyses with ready-to-run analysis scripts and visualisations.
