商品描述

This book introduces edumetrics, a rigorous, interdisciplinary framework for measuring learning outcomes over time and across space. Based on Lord Kelvin's maxim that "to measure is to know," edumetrics redefines education as an empirical science that integrates economics, psychology, and social science to quantify cognitive and non-cognitive competencies.

By harmonizing data from over 120 countries spanning half a century, the book transforms fragmented indicators into coherent measures of learning quality and equity. It critiques the limitations of traditional human capital theory and challenges the use of years of schooling as a proxy for skill. Through econometric analysis, historical inquiry, and global datasets, including Learning-Adjusted Years of Schooling, it reveals that educational structures, not just resources, shape productivity, adaptability, and social cohesion.

At its core, the book addresses the paradox of why rising investments in schooling have not yielded proportional gains in learning. With its integration of theory, data, and historical perspective, it serves as both a methodological blueprint and a call to rethink how we define, measure, and value learning in the twenty-first century.

商品描述(中文翻譯)

這本書介紹了教育計量學（edumetrics），這是一個嚴謹的跨學科框架，用於衡量隨時間和空間變化的學習成果。基於洛德·凱爾文（Lord Kelvin）的名言「測量即是了解」，教育計量學重新定義教育為一門實證科學，整合經濟學、心理學和社會科學，以量化認知和非認知能力。

通過協調來自120多個國家、跨越半個世紀的數據，這本書將零散的指標轉化為一致的學習質量和公平性衡量標準。它批評了傳統人力資本理論的局限性，並挑戰將學校年限作為技能的代理指標。通過計量經濟學分析、歷史探究和全球數據集，包括學習調整後的學校年限（Learning-Adjusted Years of Schooling），它揭示了教育結構，而不僅僅是資源，塑造了生產力、適應性和社會凝聚力。

這本書的核心在於解決為什麼對學校的投資增加卻未能帶來相應的學習增益的悖論。通過理論、數據和歷史視角的整合，它既是方法論的藍圖，也是重新思考我們在二十一世紀如何定義、衡量和評價學習的呼籲。
