Use and Impact of PIRLS
PIRLS has contributed elements of analysis to improve the Andalusian educational system, especially by facilitating the comparison of performance in reading comprehension with the different regions of Spain and the countries participating in this evaluation.
Therefore, it has been useful to appreciate the strengths and weaknesses that appear when evaluating the reading comprehension. Likewise, as an impact measure, PIRLS appreciates the importance of reading comprehension to obtain educational success for students. From PIRLS, together with other evaluations and studies that have been carried out in the Regional Government of Education and the pedagogical reflection itself, there are concrete measures that influence reading comprehension such as the incorporation of the daily reading schedule in all courses of primary education, making reading a key objective of all subjects and prioritizing educational attention in students with the lowest levels of reading performance.
In conclusion, participation in PIRLS serves to facilitate the adoption of possible and necessary measures for the improvement of our educational system.
