“…It should be remembered that the academic performance achieved by a pupil is affected by a multitude of variables related to and unrelated to the school itself, so that for the estimation of school effectiveness the effect of these extracurricular variables must be eliminated. [15,29] Thus, school effectiveness is understood as the contribution made by an educational centre to the level of academic achievement reached by its pupils, independent from the contextual variables that each pupil brings (socioeconomic level, mother tongue, etc.) and of other school factors that are not controllable by it (size, multiculturalism, level of resources, etc.).…”

The search for non-contextual process factors associated with school effectiveness has become a line of research with very broad dissemination, primarily from the ubiquity of research that includes analysis of secondary data from large-scale evaluations. With the aim of detecting ICT factors related to school effectiveness from the Spanish sample of the PISA 2015 evaluation, this work applies statistical techniques of data mining, specifically decision trees, for the optimization of the process. The results demonstrate that, while the availability and excessive use of ICTs, both in the educational environment and in the home, are factors associated with low effectiveness, other more personal characteristics of the pupils, such as their perception of self-efficacy in the management of ICT, or their own interest in the use of technologies, can be considered as factors in the protection of school effectiveness. We conclude by discussing the relationship between school effectiveness and academic performance through the analysis of previous studies, focusing on the common elements detected within both perspectives.

“…Several approaches have been found as background of competence-based assessment, as follows: [23] shows the importance of contextual aspects in the analysis of features comprise: i) the subject, detailing the specific topic being assessed; and, ii) the weight for each subject defined by the instructor, representing a score/percentage which quantitatively assesses the achievement of such competence.…”
