  • A Comparison of TIMSS 2011 and PISA 2012 Mathematics Frameworks and Performance for Ireland and Selected Countries
    A Comparison of TIMSS 2011 and PISA 2012 mathematics frameworks and performance for Ireland and Selected countries Seán Close and Gerry Shiel Educational Research Centre, St. Patrick’s College, Dublin 9 Irish schools recently participated in two major international surveys of mathematics achievement – TIMSS 2011 and PISA 2012. These two surveys originate from different philosophies of mathematics education as reflected in their assessment frameworks and tests. This paper compares the two mathematics frameworks in terms of mathematical content and cognitive processes and in terms of the test results, particularly at the level of performance subscales, in the context of Irish mathematics curricula and results for selected countries including UK and Northern Ireland. Some concerns arising from this analysis are discussed along with recommendations which could inform curriculum review. INTRODUCTION In 2011, Ireland participated in the Trends in International Mathematics and Science (TIMSS) Study, which is organised every four years by the International Association for the Evaluation of Educational Achievement (IEA). Whereas TIMSS is offered at both Fourth and Eighth grades (equivalent to Fourth class at primary level in Ireland, and Second year at post-primary level), Ireland participated at Grade 4 only. However, students in Grades 4 and 8 in Ireland will take part in the next TIMSS study in 2015. In 2012, Ireland participated in the Programme for International Student Assessment (PISA), which is organised by the Organisation for Economic Cooperation and Development (OECD). Unlike TIMSS, PISA uses an age-based sample (students aged 15-years), which cuts across grade levels (Second to Fifth year in Ireland, with a majority of students in Third year).

  • The Euro's Three Crises
    JAY C. SHAMBAUGH Georgetown University The Euro’s Three Crises ABSTRACT The euro area faces three interlocking crises that together chal- lenge the viability of the currency union. There is a banking crisis: banks are undercapitalized and have faced liquidity problems. There is a sovereign debt crisis: a number of countries have faced rising bond yields and challenges fund- ing themselves. Lastly, there is a growth crisis: economic growth is slow in the euro area overall and unequally distributed across countries. These crises con- nect with one another in several ways: the problems of weak banks and high sov- ereign debt are mutually reinforcing, and both are exacerbated by weak growth but also in turn constrain growth. This paper details the three crises, their inter- connections, and possible policy solutions. Policy responses that fail to take into account the interdependent nature of the problems will likely be incom- plete or even counterproductive. A broader point also becomes clear: a currency union may not need a fiscal union, but it does likely need both a financial union and some way to adjust for unbalanced economic conditions across countries. onsidered almost unthinkable just a few years ago, a breakup of the Ceuro area is today viewed as possible. Prices on the online betting market Intrade in March 2012 suggested that the probability that at least one country currently using the euro would leave the euro area by the end of 2013 was roughly 40 percent; these odds peaked at over 65 percent as recently as November 2011 (figure 1). The head of the European Central Bank (ECB), Mario Draghi, has acknowledged the possibility of countries ceasing to use the euro.

    REFERENDUM IN IRELAND 31st May 2012 European Elections monitor The Irish will be voting by refe- rendum on 31st May 2012 on the European budgetary pact. Corinne Deloy The European Budgetary Pact, the so-called Stability, Coordination and Governance Treaty, was signed on 2nd March 2012 in Brussels by the heads of State and government of 25 EU Member Analysis States (except for the UK and the Czech Republic). This text aims to achieve greater convergence 1 month before in terms of the economic and monetary union, and notably of the euro zone. It sets (apart from in the poll exceptional circumstances) the balance (or the surplus of public administration budgets) of each country in principle and limits the national structural deficit of each Member State at 0.5% of the GDP (1% for the States whose public debt is below 60% of the GDP). If these thresholds are not respected, corrective mechanisms will automatically be set in motion. These factors, called the budgetary golden rule, must be introduced into national legislation within a year after the entry into force of the treaty, in the shape of binding, permanent measures, which are preferably of a constitutional nature. The European budgetary pact will enter into force as soon as it is ratified by at least 12 Member States. It will become law in the EU in 2017. On 29th February last Ireland’s Attorney General voted “no”) before subsequently approving it by declared that the treaty did not concern the gene- 62.89% in a second referendum in 2002.

It is based on what is now well evidenced about child protection and welfare literature in relation to risk, relationships, family support, supervision, and professional development. Using Ireland as a case example for illustration and application, we introduce an emerging framework based on a dualism of ‘protective support and supportive protection’ developed in previous work. We avail of Bronfenbrenner’s bio-ecological framework and network theories to progress this ongoing ‘work in progress’ to inform social work and social care practice and supervision in a global context as and where appropriate. We emphasize the importance of context specific approaches, the relevance of range of actors, practitioner and supervisor expertise through experience, and proactive partnership based engagement with children, families, and relevant communities in all aspects of service delivery, including evaluation. We reflect on the challenges and possible obstacles to how such a framework can inform practice and supervision.
