ARKA NEWS AGENCY: ICL test will enable armenian school children to improve their education level Laura Bailey says
The results of Information and Communication Literacy Test (ICL Test) will enable Armenian educators to develop and improve the national education policy and also create equal conditions for all, World Bank Armenia Country Manager Laura Bailey said today at the opening of an international workshop on assessment of ICT competence of school graduates in Yerevan.
The study on IC Literacy assessment of 9th grade Armenian students was conducted jointly by National Training Foundation and the Centre for Testing and Assessment of the Armenia Republic over the 2011 to 2014 period. It was carried out to assess IC literacy of the Armenian students and to identify factors that influence IC literacy.
The received data provide a sound basis for a comprehensive statistical and pedagogical analysis. It can be used to update, revise, improve or develop an educational policy on ICT integration into learning and teaching process. There is no doubt that the conclusions of the study will be useful for students, their parents, teachers, school principals and the education system at large.
Such full-scale studies with participation and cooperation of professionals from different countries strengthen relationships and encourage cooperation between educational organizations and educational systems of different countries.
In October 2013 National Training Foundation assessed IC Literacy of 9th grade students of 26 educational organizations located in Krasnoyarsk. The sample is representative, the number of the students participated in testing and the sample properties enable us to make sound conclusions on IC literacy level and factors that influence it for all Krasnoyarsk 9th grade students.
The study is complied with high research standards. The received data will be used for developing the students’ IC literacy, which is one of the key learning outcomes, and for enhancing basic secondary education quality management at large.
We express our deep gratitude to National Training Foundation for the opportunity to participate in the study “IC Literacy Assessment of the 9th grade students of the Belorussian Republic” and for highly qualified methodological and technical support of the study”.
In November 2013 National Training Foundation conducted assessment of IC literacy of 9th Grade students of Barnaul educational organizations. The sample of the students was representative and its properties assured the reliability of conclusions on IC literacy proficiency level and factors that influence it.
The received results are of interest to wide audiences: education authorities, education professionals, specialists in assessment, teachers and educators.
On 9 July, 2014, the director of the Center for Advanced Study in Education in New York left the feedback about the ICL Test where identified its possible uses.
He emphasized four possible uses:
- informing policy through the aggregation of scores across subgroups of students, and allocating resources for supporting instruction in key ICT literacy areas;
- guiding instruction by using ICTLA scores to identify students' strengths and weaknesses and designing evidence-based instructional interventions;
- identifying students who could benefit from instruction in ICT literacy;
- evaluating the efficacy of ICT literacy instructional programs.

The school 548 expresses its gratitude to NTF professionals for testing IC literacy of a representative sample of 8th and 9th grade students in 2012-2013 and 2013-2014 academic years.
After testing the NTF specialists conducted an in-depth qualitative analysis of the results and provided recommendations for developing individual educational path for students to enhance their IC literacy. This enables our school to achieve a new quality of IC literacy of our students.
“The test was interesting for me. It was convenient to perform tasks. The test situations are similar to those we face in real life. The recommendations will help me to develop my skills”. Denis Volochkov
“I enjoyed the test. I’ve never encountered such tests before and it was interesting to complete it. At first I didn’t understand what and how to do at some tasks, but the instruction was helpful. Every detail was described in it”. Vladislav Klimovich
“It was easy for me to complete the tasks because they were various and well-chosen. And all these tasks correspond to the situations we face in life and at school” Yaroslav Skoptsov
«I enjoyed the test. I think that the result corresponds to my IC literacy proficiency level and the test allows teachers to assess it precisely. It is also good that recommendations were provided.” Kristina Mikhalkevich
"The test got me interested because of its novelty. It was interesting for me to complete the test because I’ve never tried such tests before. The tasks were various and some of them made you think and reflect. I like that the situations in the test are from real life”. Ekaterina Zlobina, Republic of Komi, Komi Republican Lyceum at Syktyvkar State University
"The programme interface and non-trivial tasks should be mentioned. This is an interesting and important fact. And the project is interesting and essential”. Andrey Kovalev. Republic of Komi. Komi Republican Lyceum at Syktyvkar State University
«We realized that the tool on IC literacy assessment is the project and the product with a huge potential because it includes innovative ideas. At the moment we’ve received the interesting, “well packed”, positively/highly appreciated product that passed an international expertise. It has a good chance to become an international tool for IC literacy assessment (not only for students but also for teachers). It also may become an instrument for developing an educational policy».
«This instrument is not about computer literacy. The students can learn how to use a mouse without teachers. Вy the way, much faster than teachers can. But have they learned how to work with information? Have they learned how to manage and integrate information? Search for it? Retrieve it? Use it for their personal, not school classes needs? These questions are not easy to answer. From my point of view as well as many educators’ opinion, the team directed by Svetlana Avdeeva and Mark Zeelman managed to develop the product that can be used to assess different action programs. <…> For example, Belorussian colleagues are developing a digital educational resource, and they would like to check whether it changes something in students’ mentality, students’ ability to work with information. And this tool is definitely helpful in this situation. <…> Following the testing results education authorities are provided with recommendations on how to enhance students’ skills to work with information. This is the essential skill for the 21st century! I think that the Avdeeva-Zelman’s team will be useful for everyone who is interested in preparing our students for life in the new century».
