Abstract

The research compared and assessed 6th grade student large-scale assessment item indicators according to the revised competency-based Science curriculum in Latvia, in order to understand what improvements are needed in the large-scale assessment for aligning the national assessments with the new national curriculum, and thus ensuring successful implementation of the educational reform. The theoretical framework of the research was developed by using the frameworks of the Programme for International Student Assessment (PISA), and cognitive level was measured according to the Structure of Observed Learning Outcomes (SOLO) taxonomy. Keywords: assessment alignment to curriculum, educational reform, scientific literacy.
