Project description
MARKUS is an assessment study within the framework of school-quality monitoring in the German Land of Rhineland-Palatinate. It encompassed a survey of the mathematics performance of grade 8 students and the compilation of features related to learning and classroom teaching as well as to factors of situational context inside and outside school (questionnaires for students, teachers and school principals).
