The Programme for International Student Assessment (PISA) is an important part of the OECD's Indicator Programme. It collects data and provides comparative indicators of education systems in OECD member and partner countries. PISA provides datasets of outstanding quality regarding samples, instruments and analyses. In addition to its important function for educational monitoring, the PISA datasets are the basis of a wide range of secondary analyses from a number of different scientific perspectives and disciplines. The aim of this book is to make some of the outstanding PISA related research results available for a wider audience. Specifically four research areas will be focused: (1) Content related research; (2) Methodological research; (3) Context related research; (4) Research on trends in PISA. Each part of the book is devoted to one of these areas and will start with an introduction from a leading expert in the field followed by chapters covering research conducted in this field.
The priority program 'The educational quality of schools' has been established seven years ago by the German Research Foundation (DFG). The projects in this program investigated conditions inside and outside of school and their impact on the development of mathematical, scientific, and cross-curricular competencies. In this book major findings of the program are presented. The projects not only give an overview of their research questioning methods and findings, but also of approaches and materials that have been developed to support learning and teaching in mathematics and science class rooms. The studies reported here identify factors for weaknesses in the educational outcomes that became apparent in the international comparisons like TIMSS and PISA. The projects, however, provide empirically substantiated units on approaches that can help to improve the educational quality of schools. [Publisher, ed].
Das Sonderheft stellt vertiefende und weiterführende Analysen der Daten von PISA 2006 vor. Der Schwerpunkt liegt auf Untersuchungen zu den Kompetenzbereichen Naturwissenschaften, Mathematik und Lesen, zu motivationalen Merkmalen der Schülerinnen und Schüler und zu Bedingungen von Unterricht und Schule. Viele Analysen benutzen die Daten des erweiterten Erhebungsdesigns in Deutschland, bei dem zusätzliche Instrumente in jeweils zwei kompletten Klassen pro Schule eingesetzt wurden.

This volume represents the proceedings of the VIII International Symposium on Biological Control of Weeds. The papers cover all aspects of the theory and practice of biological control of weeds. The increased use of plant pathogens to control weeds is reflected.
