a (paper, electronic, or online) form for gathering contextual information from study participants (e.g., students) and other individuals or institutions (e.g., parents, teachers, schools, education ministries) in order to identify factors related to the performance of study participants, measure variables of non-cognitive learning outcomes (e.g., attitudes, beliefs, and behaviors), and develop other indicators of education systems

About the Glossary

This mini-glossary lists abbreviations and provides concise explanations for important concepts used on the gateway.

ILSAs are developed by different organizations and within different contexts; as a consequence, each study has its own characteristics and specifications as far as terminology is concerned. Although study-related information is presented on the gateway in a standardized format, names and terms are used as they appear in official study documents.

This is still a draft version; the glossary will be edited and expanded progressively.
