Nordicmetrics Aps

About NordicMetrics ApS NordicMetrics ApS is a Danish educational measurement and research organization that develops scientific measures of student learning progress. We work to improve the quality of the basis by which the Danish municipalities, schools and teachers implement their pedagogical efforts. Furthermore, one of the central aspects in our work is to improve students’ access to inspiring learning material with training, exercises and constructive feedback. We use inspiration from the Nordic education culture combined with scientifically based methods of measurement and feedback. We specialize in analysis, training and measurement of learning. Though we started out in the field of literacy, we are continuously establishing a more multidisciplinary scope. For instance, we use psychometric methods and tests to measure skills in different scientific subjects and personal attributes such as self-efficacy, motivation and well-being. Our ambition is to provide the Nordic educational models with a scientific boost, with a deeper understanding and an enhanced insight in the individual student’s progress and potential in order to make these visible for the students themselves and their teachers. Examples of activity areas: • Measurement of impact of instruction and teaching activities with emphasis on increasing learning by identifying what works. • Development of tools to measure educational and personal progress/growth. • Support in interpreting and using test results to improve pedagogical performance. • Developing and leading workshops and seminars in applying test results in a learning context. • Support in adaption and upgrade of existing test tools to computer based training and measurement. • Coordination of international projects and cutting edge instructional technology in Denmark (e.g. the Edsphere application about English literacy in cooperation with MetaMetrics, NC).
