Group description

The focus of PRIM includes development, analysis and design of centrally prepared tests, national evaluations and international knowledge measurements as well as assessment with formative focus and feedback. The research includes both qualitative and quantitative analysis of mainly empirical data. Continuous research activities are conducted in connection with the development of assessment methods and measuring instruments linked to studies of knowledge. Of particular interest are questions about the assessment of mathematics in large-scale national or international studies.

PRIM was founded in 1984 with the initial purpose of developing standard tests in mathematics. Since then, the group has developed, both in content and size, and is today a research and test development group that, among other things, conducts research and develops national tests and support materials in mathematics for both primary and secondary school and adult education. The group also conducts research with a focus on international knowledge studies and the PRIM group is responsible for mathematics in the international studies PISA and TIMSS in Sweden.
