Project description
With the international comparative school performance study ICILS 2023 (International Computer and Information Literacy Study 2023), the IEA (International Association for the Evaluation of Educational Achievement) is realising the third cycle of the ICILS study after ICILS 2013 and ICILS 2018. With the help of an internationally developed and elaborated set of instruments, student competences in the field of the most relevant computerand information literacy (CIL) skills in the countries participating in the study are recorded in an empirically verified manner.
The background to the ICILS study is that the safe and competent use of digital media is becoming increasingly important in all areas of life and work. This raises the question of what skills children and young people have in this field and how these can be sponsored in schools.
As in the ICILS 2018 study, the study will be supplemented by an additional module on the competence area 'Computational Thinking'. Germany is once again taking part in the additional module.
As with ICILS 2018, the national research centre for the ICILS 2023 study is located at Paderborn University under the scientific direction of Prof. Dr. Birgit Eickelmann (National Research Coordinator).

Funding (duration: 01/2021 - 12/2026)
The study is funded in Germany by the Bundesministerium für Bildung und Forschung (BMBF). As the study is part of the European education monitoring programme, the international participation fees are co-financed by the European Commission. In Germany, the Standing Conference of the Ministers of Education and Cultural Affairs has opened up field access in all federal states and is supporting the implementation of the study.
