The IDB Analyzer was originally designed to allow users to combine and analyse data from IEA’s large-scale assessments, but it has been adapted to work with data from most major large-scale assessment surveys, including those conducted by the Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD), such as the Programme for the International Assessment of Adult Competencies (PIAAC), the Programme for International Student Assessment (PISA), and the Teaching and Learning International Survey (TALIS). 6.1 The IDB Analyzerĭeveloped by IEA Hamburg, the IDB Analyzer is an interface that creates syntax for SPSS (IBM 2013) and SAS (SAS 2012). For each of these two sections, we will provide a description of the functionalities of the respective modules and examples to illustrate some of the capabilities of the IDB Analyzer (Version 4.0) to merge files and to compute a variety of statistics, including the calculation of percentages, averages, benchmarks (proficiency levels), linear regression, logistic regression, correlations, and percentiles. 1 Sections 6.2 and 6.3 will be dedicated to the Merge and Analysis modules of the IDB Analyzer, respectively. In the first section, we will provide a brief overview of the software. This chapter is subdivided into three main sections. 2 in this volume for details about PIAAC’s complex sample and assessment design). Furthermore, it seamlessly takes into account the sampling information and the multiple imputed achievement scores to produce accurate statistical results (see Chap.

The IDB Analyzer provides a user-friendly interface to easily merge the data files of the different countries participating in PIAAC.

This chapter describes the general use of the International Association for the Evaluation of Educational Achievement’s (IEA) International Database Analyzer (IDB Analyzer) for analysing PIAAC data (IEA 2019).
