Monitoring and evaluation
Evaluation designs, indicators, and reporting that show whether a programme is working and why, from inception through to the final report.
Research, Evidence & Evaluation
Measurement and evaluation institutions can act on.
For institutions, programmes, foundations, and consortia: assessment and measurement design, monitoring and evaluation, and evidence that turns into decisions. Led by Dr. Miloš Kankaraš.
PISA research
Interpreting the PISA 2025 score declines, alongside earlier country analyses and studies of comparability.
Explore the PISA studiesReliability of AI benchmarks
How many of the leads on public AI leaderboards can the benchmarks actually detect? A Center for Psychology analysis of 61 public leaderboards, from GPQA to SWE-bench, finds that most of the leads people argue about are smaller than the measurement error.
Read the studyThe United Arab Emirates in PISA 2025
One national average covering seven separate school systems. A Center for Psychology country note asks how much of the country's largest recorded PISA gain is improved learning rather than a changed test population, what actually separates its schools, and how far the measurement itself can be pushed.

Ten questions for reading, writing and challenging a psychological test result in an expert opinion, with invented examples and a one-page checklist.
Open the guideWhat we do
From a question to evidence that holds up.
The practice covers the full arc of measurement and evaluation, from designing the right instrument to reporting evidence a manager or funder can use.
Assessment and measurement design
Surveys, scales, and assessment instruments built to measure what they claim to, with the validity and comparability evidence to back them.
Impact evaluation
Theory-based and quantitative approaches to estimate what a programme actually changed, and for whom.
Evidence synthesis and policy analysis
Turning research, data, and assessments into clear, usable evidence for managers, institutions, and funders.
Instrument development and validation
Item writing, piloting, scoring, and psychometric validation for selection, skills, and social and emotional measures. Available as a fixed-scope, fixed-price service.
