TALIS

Where to find the data and research instruments

Where to find international datasets?

The OECD TALIS website provides:

  • Datasets from each TALIS cycle, containing the full set of responses from teachers and school principals;
  • Technical documentation, user guides, codebooks, and variable information;
  • Source and national versions of the questionnaires.

Available data formats: SAS, SPSS, and, depending on the study cycle, also STATA and CSV.

National items

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 TALIS 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.
