Abstract

It is crucial to examine the alignment of different exam results conducted by various organizations to improve the quality of assessment. The research used a document analysis method with recent, publicly available national and international reports addressing the research question. The following main question was examined through the document analysis: What exams have the highest correlation and are more trustworthy in Azerbaijan for short and long-term outcomes? The data were analyzed to discover any statistical comparisons of university admission exams with the 9th and 11th grade SEC exams, school grades, and other assessments. Research shows that the State Examination Center’s exams align with its own evaluations and international assessment (OECD). They can be considered methodologically rigorous, providing a more valid yardstick for measuring student knowledge and achievement. Overall, exams by the SEC had a high correlation coefficient compared to Higher Education Institutions’ assessments. As more and more international students want to pursue their education in Azerbaijan, these findings can be valuable for their decision-making and tertiary level. Keywords: educational evaluation, exam correlation, large-scale exams, national and international measurement

阿塞拜疆不同类型考试之间的相关性

至关重要的是，要检查各组织进行的不同考试结果的一致性，以提高评估质量。这项研究采用了文献分析方法，结合了最近公开的国家和国际报告来解决研究问题。通过文件分析研究了以下主要问题：在阿塞拜疆，哪些考试的相关性最高，在短期和长期结果方面更值得信赖？对数据进行分析，以发现大学入学考试与9年级和11年级SEC考试、学校成绩和其他评估的统计比较。研究表明，国家考试中心的考试与自己的评估和国际评估（OECD）保持一致。它们可以被认为在方法上是严格的，为衡量学生的知识和成就提供了一个更有效的尺度。总体而言，与高等教育机构的评估相比，美国证券交易委员会的考试具有很高的相关性。随着越来越多的国际学生希望在阿塞拜疆接受教育，这些发现对他们的决策和高等教育水平很有价值。关键词：教育评估、考试相关性、大型考试、国内外测量
