The International Observatory on Academic Achievement (IOAA) is part of the infrastructure of the Research Center on Academic Success (CRIRES). The mission of the IOAA is twofold:
The International Observatory on Academic Achievement (IOAA) is part of the infrastructure of the Research Center on Academic Success (CRIRES). The mission of the IOAA is twofold:
- To document academic achievement with regard to scientific expertise and proven practices;
- To become an international virtual venue for disseminating this expertise and these practices, along with a medium for exchanging information on academic achievement.
The IOAA ensures a documentary watch on several academic achievement topics. The Observatory releases the results of this documentary watch on its Website and facilitates exchange among researchers and players in the educational field by organizing occasional events such as colloquia, conferences and symposiums.
The Observatory Website presents the IOAA documentary material in four sections: scientific expertise, assessed educational programs and practices, assessed educational policies, and statistics.
The purpose of the site is the following:
- To make available relevant information on expertise, and innovative practices and tools related to academic achievement across the world;
- To release the results of watch activities in the form of a free monthly newsletter;
- To announce IOAA activities;
- To facilitate exchange among researchers across the world;
- To network the IOAA with other Websites, namely sites devoted to academic achievement knowledge transfer.
