Internship in IEA

I have been doing an internship in International Association for the Evaluation of Educational Achievement (IEA) in Hamburg, Germany since the end of July. Do you know what IEA studies are? Have you ever heard PIRLS or TIMSS? IEA has been conducting international comparative studies of school achievement since 1958. Please visit the following website. http://www.iea.nl/home.html  There are a lot of information about the workshop and publications. You can learn a lot!

Take a break!: our professor

Our professor likes a red wine! We drunk it almost every night in Argentina. Actually, it was really really nice!

The XV Comparative Education World Congress

We, Prof. Hirakawa, PhD student Bunnchay and Taniguchi, attended the XV Comparative Education World Congress in Buenos Aires, Argentina. We presented the following two studies.



Bunnchay Ang, No Fata, Soeung Sopha, and Yukiko Hirakawa,
"Causes of Primary School Dropouts in Rural Cambodia: Multilevel Survival Analysis"

Kyoko Taniguchi and Yukiko Hirakawa,
"Dynamics of Community Participation, Student Achievement, and School Management: A Case of Primary Schools in Nkhta Bay District in Malawi"

After our presentation, we had an efficient discussion with other researchers.
We need to publish these contents of the presentation on journal soon!


We had a wonderful dinner on the date of the presentation!
Here, people eat a large amount of meat and potato! We were surprised the food culture of Argentina.
