Abstract

Empirical educational research has played a continuous role in accompanying the implementation of educational monitoring. This article examines the issues that educational research has foregrounded when studying three key instruments of the new German ‘educational monitoring paradigm’. Our findings suggest that both the research questions and the analysis models that empirical educational research draws upon are congruent with politically formulated targets.
