教育成绩排名引起了广泛的新闻报道和各种政治反应。为了研究新闻报道的负面性与排名结果和政治反应之间的关系，我们比较了四个欧洲国家（德国、芬兰、法国和英国）对两个教育排名（2006年版的经合组织学生成绩进步（比萨）和国际教育机构国际阅读素养研究进展（PIRLS））的国内新闻报道。我们在所有四个国家都发现了负面的新闻报道。引人注目的是，芬兰的负面文章比例与德国相同，尽管表现要好得多。英国政治家因糟糕的结果而受到的个人指责远多于法国或德国的同行，但德国和英国的政治反应最为强烈。我们讨论了我们的研究结果的背景下，这种排名可能会有预期的影响，并认为这些排名本身并不提供足够的杠杆，以提高教育表现。
Educational performance rankings elicit extensive press coverage and varied political responses. To investigate how the negativity of press coverage was related to the rankings results and political response, we compared the domestic press coverage of two educational rankings (the 2006 editions of the OECD’s Progress in Student Achievement (PISA) and the IEA’s Progress in International Reading Literacy Study (PIRLS)) in four European countries (Germany, Finland, France, and Britain). We found negative press coverage in all four countries. Strikingly, Finland had the same percentage of negative articles as Germany, despite much better performance. British politicians received far more personal blame for poor results than their French or German counterparts, but the political response was strongest in Germany and Britain. We discuss our findings in the context of the effects such rankings might be expected to have, and argue that these rankings alone do not provide sufficient levers to improve educational performance.
