1 PISA FOR SCHOOLS How is my school comparing internationally? Andreas Schleicher Director for Education and Skills OECD Madrid, September 22 nd

2 PISA in brief Over half a million students representing 28 million 15-year-olds in 65 countries/economies took an internationally agreed 2-hour test Goes beyond testing whether students can reproduce what they were taught to assess students capacity to extrapolate from what they know and creatively apply their knowledge in novel situations Mathematics, reading, science, problem solving, financial literacy Total of 390 minutes of assessment material and responded to questions on their personal background, their schools and their engagement with learning and school Parents, principals and system leaders provided data on school policies, practices, resources and institutional factors that help explain performance differences.

3 PISA in brief Key principles Crowd sourcing and collaboration PISA draws together leading expertise and institutions from participating countries to develop instruments and methodologies guided by governments on the basis of shared policy interests Cross-national relevance and transferability of policy experiences Emphasis on validity across cultures, languages and systems Frameworks built on well-structured conceptual understanding of academic disciplines and contextual factors Triangulation across different stakeholder perspectives Systematic integration of insights from students, parents, school principals and system-leaders Advanced methods with different grain sizes A range of methods to adequately measure constructs with different grain sizes to serve different decision-making needs e.g. PISA for Schools Productive feedback to fuel improvement at every level of the system.

4 4 PISA 2012 Sample Question 2 Helen the Cyclist Helen has just got a new bike. It has a speedometer which sits on the handlebar. The speedometer can tell Helen the distance she travels and her average speed for a trip. Helen rode 6 km to her aunt s house. Her speedometer showed that she had averaged 18 km/h for the whole trip. Which one of the following statements is correct? A. It took Helen 20 minutes to get to her aunt s house. (answer code: pisa2a) B. It took Helen 30 minutes to get to her aunt s house. (answer code: pisa2b) C. It took Helen 3 hours to get to her aunt s house. (answer code: pisa2c) D. It is not possible to tell how long it took Helen to get to her aunt s house. (answer code: pisa2d)

5 5 PISA 2012 Sample Question 2 Helen the Cyclist Correct Answer: A. It took Helen 20 minutes to get to her aunt s house. This item belongs to the change and relationships category. This involves understanding fundamental types of change and recognising when they occur in order to use suitable mathematical models to describe and predict change.

27 PISA for Schools - Objectives Provide information about how schools are performing Provide a backdrop for setting goals and planning improvements How are students performing in maths, science and reading - in an international context? How conducive is the school environment and student motivation to learning? How do these contextual factors shape learning? What levels do we want our students to reach? The benchmark is no longer national standards alone. What can be learnt from higher-performing school and school systems?
