SEA-PLM 2024 Data

Data analysis
  • All statistics were computed using sampling weights.
  • Estimation of standard errors for significance testing was computed by making use of:
    • Replication methods (jackknife repeated replication, JK2 variant) to estimate sampling variance, and
    • Five plausible values for estimating measurement variance.
  • General note: SEA-PLM data were designed for group-level reporting; students’ scale scores in the database are not intended to report performance of individual students or very small groups.

Item release policy
  • SEA-PLM 2024 datasets are available for free and public access in SPSS™ format.
  • Except for public items released in the compendium of items, all other items remain secured and under strict embargo.
    • A small portion of Mathematics and Reading items used in the SEA-PLM 2019 survey has been released to the public in a dedicated report. This compendium of items can be used in many ways, such as:
      • Assist teachers, school leaders, and education stakeholders to become familiar with the SEA-PLM testing approaches and concepts;
      • Supplement teaching practice, methods, and tools on reading and mathematics;
      • Explore linkages between curriculum content and standards and ways to measure students' understanding of these concepts;
      • Design literacy and numeracy assessments relevant to students’ own needs;
      • Reflect on the performance of students in Southeast Asia.
    • Each item is described in detail and accompanied by suggestions for educators including teachers on how to effectively develop students’ understanding of the concepts and skills required to respond correctly to the items. Common misconceptions, misunderstandings, and errors are also discussed in view of how students performed on each item under test conditions.  
    • This material is intended as a supplementary resource to enhance current teaching methodologies and classroom assessments in the subjects of reading and mathematics. It is designed to complement existing practices within the classroom setting and is not intended to serve as a replacement for established teaching methods and techniques.
