PISA 2012Evaluating school systems to improve education
Andreas Schleicher
Embargo until3 December11:00 Paris time
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 • Productive feedback, at appropriate levels of detail, to fuel improvement at
every level of the system .
What do 15-year-olds know……and what can they do with what they know?

The share of immigrant students in OECD countries increased from 9% in 2003 to 12% in 2012…
…while the performance disadvantage of immigrant students shrank by 11 score points during the same period (after accounting for socio-economic
factors)

Fig II.2.4
Socio-economically disadvantaged students not only score lower in mathematics, they also report lower levels of engagement, drive, motivation and self-beliefs. Resilient students break this link and share many characteristics of advantaged high-achievers.
A resilient student is situated in the bottom quarter of the PISA index of economic, social and cultural status (ESCS) in the country of assessment and performs in the top quarter of students among all countries, after accounting for socio-economic status.

o 85% of advantaged students but only 78% of disadvantaged students say feel they belong at school
o More than one in three students in OECD countries say they had arrived late for school in the two weeks prior to the PISA test; and more than one in four students reported that they had skipped a class or a day of school during this period
o Better teacher-student relations are strongly associated with greater student engagement at school
o Even when girls perform as well as boys in mathematics, they tend to report less perseverance, less openness to problem solving, less motivation to learn mathematics, less self-belief in their ability to learn mathematics and more anxiety about mathematics than boys, on average; they are also more likely than boys to attribute failure in mathematics to themselves .
Also worth noting
The parent factorStudents whose parents have high educational expectations for them tend
to report more perseverance, greater intrinsic motivation to learn mathematics, and more confidence in their own ability to solve mathematics problems than students of similar background and academic performance,
whose parents hold less ambitious expectations for them.

o Stratification in school systems (e.g. grade repetition and selecting students at a young age for different “tracks” or types of schools) is negatively related to equity; and students in highly stratified systems tend to be less motivated than those in less-stratified systems
Also worth noting
Money makes a difference……but only up to a point

o Educational resources relate to student performance– 33% of the variation in math performance is explained by
differences in principal’s responses to questions about the adequacy of science laboratory equipment, instructional material, ICT and libraries (GDP adjusted)
o Adequacy of physical infrastructure unrelated to performanceo Within countries, class time relates positively to performance
– Holds also after accounting for socio-economic and demographic factors, but does not hold when pooling data across countries (learning outcomes are the product of quantity and quality)
– The proportion of students in schools with after-school mathematics lessons is unrelated to system performance
– Homework relates positively to school performance
Also worth noting
128
o Most countries and economies with comparable data between 2003 and 2012 have moved towards better-staffed and better-equipped schools
o Students in 2012 were more likely than their counterparts in 2003 to have attended at least one year of pre-primary education– yet many of the students who reported that they had not
attended pre-primary school are disadvantaged
Also worth noting
High performers spend resources where they are needed most

30% of the variation in math performance across OECD countries is
explained by the degree of similarity of educational resources between
advantaged and disadvantaged schools
OECD countries tend to allocate at least an equal, if not a larger, number of teachers per student to disadvantaged schools; but disadvantaged schools tend to have great difficulty in attracting qualified teachers.
Governance mattersSchools with more autonomy over curricula and assessments tend to perform better than schools with less autonomy where they are part of school systems with more accountability arrangements and
greater teacher-principal collaboration in school management

Performance advantage of public schools
Performance advantage of private schools
Differences in mathematics performance between private and public schools shrink considerably after accounting for socio-economic status
Observed performance difference
After accounting for students’ and schools’ socio-economic status
Fig IV.1.19
How the theory of school choice squares with the reality in families
If offered a choice of schools for their child, parents consider criteria as “a safe school environment” and “a school’s good reputation” more
important than “high academic achievement of students in the school”.

Revolving Door
SCORING:Description: Interpret a geometrical model of a real life situation to calculate the
length of an arc
Mathematical content area:
Space and shape
Context: Scientific
Process: Formulate
Correct Answer: in the range from 103 to 105. Accept answers calculated as 1/6th of the circumference (100π/3). Also accept an answer of 100 only if it is clear that this response resulted from using π =3. Note: Answer of 100 without supporting working could be obtained by a simple guess that it is the same as the radius (length of a single wing).
This item belongs to the space and shape category. Space and shape encompasses a wide range of phenomena that are encountered everywhere in our visual and physical world: patterns, properties of objects, positions and orientations, representations of objects, decoding and encoding of visual information, navigation and dynamic interaction with real shapes as well as with representations.
