Academic Interests
Until July 2022, Isa Steinmann was a postdoctoral researcher at the Centre for Educational Measurement at the University of Oslo (CEMO). Now she is associate professor at OsloMet. One strand of her research focuses on determining how education systems and schools affect student achievement and educational inequality outcomes. In this field, she enjoys applying methods that aim for causal inference from large-scale assessment data. Another strand of her research interests concerns how properties of international large-scale assessments are linked to their results and interact with the respondents.
Courses
- MAE4051 - Selected Topics in Educational Measurement: Analysis of Large-Scale Assessment Data
