Understanding patterns and trends of reading attainment during transition from primary to secondary stage: What does PISA and National Pupil Data tell

英格兰东北部的学生在伦敦以外的关键阶段2达到预期阅读标准的比例最高，但在GCSE英语语言方面达到8分和进步8分的学生比例最低。它也是伦敦以外易受识字脆弱性影响的选区比例最高的地区。阅读已日益成为教育政策的重点，课程改革，特别是小学课程改革反映了这一点。本研究探讨了影响英格兰东北部学生阅读水平的因素。将2018年PISA调查和国家学生数据库等国际评估数据联系起来，将分析英格兰地区阅读能力的模式。使用复杂的回归模型，然后将考虑对这些模式的可能解释。最后，这项研究将考虑目前与阅读能力相关的政策，以及这是否可能解决研究结果所强调的问题。最终结论将进一步了解高水平的剥夺，这将在教育和更广泛的社会服务中有用。

North East England has the highest proportion of pupils reaching the expected standard in reading at Key Stage 2 outside of London, but the lowest Attainment 8 and Progress 8 scores for GCSE English Language. It is also the region with the highest percentage of wards who are vulnerable to literacy vulnerability outside of London. Reading has been an increasing focus of education policy, and reforms to the curriculum particularly in primary school have reflected this. This study investigates the factors that determine the level of reading attainment in North East England. Linking data from international assessments such as thePISA 2018 survey and the National Pupil Database, patterns for regional reading attainment in England will be analysed. Using complex regression modelling, possible explanations for these patterns then will be considered. Finally, the study will consider current policy related to reading attainment, and whether this is likely to address the issues highlighted by the findings. The final conclusions will further knowledge of a high level of deprivation which will be useful in education and wider social services.
