Work through example for 2022 Sweden
We use Sweden’s indicators and scores from 2022 to illustrate the application of our process.
First, we apply the ratio-to-best approach, using the leading country as the reference, to the arithmetic mean of the indicator scores within each educational area. This ensures comparability across all three survey waves.
Next, we aggregate the normalized indicator scores using the arithmetic mean to construct the policy and practice dimensions within each area. We then combine these two dimensions using a weighted mean to form the seven educational areas.
We use the policy and practice scores for each of the seven educational areas to construct the overall EfDI Policy and EfDI Practice scores.
Finally, we aggregate policy and practice scores to produce the normalized weighted score of the overall EfDI index. This follows the weighting scheme discussed above, where all areas receive equal weight (100%) except for teacher training, the unitary system, and common education, which are weighted differently.
1. Curriculum
Policy:
Formal curriculum requirement = ((1 - 0) ÷ (1)) x 100 = 100
