Data preparation for PIAAC

For the general response file from Public Use Files (PUF) data

42

Public Use Files (PUFs)

• Contain 23 of 24 participating countries, includes Cyprus, excludes Australia, available at:

http://vs-web-fs-1.oecd.org/piaac/puf-data

• PUF for Australia (called “CURF”) available on application, not distributed, via: [email protected]

• Extended public-/research-use files might be available from countries directly, e.g. U.S. and Germany












mailto:[email protected]

43

Public Use Files (PUFs), cntd.

PUFs available in two standard formats

• SPSS (.sav) for version 11 or later

• Unicode (UTF8) encoded to preserve national strings

• Full dictionary information

• Variable types and formats

• Variable labels

• Value labels (including any missing value labels)

• Missing value definitions (except for strings)

• Variable measurement levels

• Missing values represented numerically (more later)

44

Public Use Files (PUFs), cntd.

PUFs available in two standard formats

• SAS (.sas7bdat) • Standard, compressed data files for Windows environments

• Encoded in Unicode (UTF8)

• Variable types, widths, decimals, and labels assigned

• Each .sas7bdat PUF file is accompanied by an equivalently named .sas file that includes syntax to assign formats • SAS cannot store value labels permanently

• Includes the relevant LIBNAME (in), PROC FORMATS, DATA and FORMATS statements.

• These syntax files can be executed against each individual SAS file in order to display value labels in analytical procedures such as PROC UNIVARIATE, PROC FREQ …

• Missing values represented as SAS special missings (e.g. “.V”)

45

Data difference for PUFs and PDX (PIAAC Data Explorer)

• The set of cases across databases (national master, analysis, public-use) is identical, in general.

• One exception applies to the Canadian PUF

• Some cases were excluded and corresponding weights were loaded onto others in a particular domain to comply with Statistics Canada’s minimum weight standards

• It will not be possible to replicate reported estimates precisely

• This should not have practical relevance and should not affect the agreement of rounded estimates published by the OECD, those produced by the Data Explorer, and those made on the basis of the PUF

46

Data difference for PUFs and PDX, cntd.

• Data underlying the PDX and PUF contain different sets of variables

• Certain variable sets are not informative/useful for analysis in the PDX yet are included in the PUF for secondary analysis

• Each PUF includes a comprehensive set of 1,328 variables

• Of these, only 575 are included in the PDX

• The majority of variables included only in the PUF relate to the individual cognitive item scores and process information

47

Available documentation

Web: http://www.oecd.org/site/piaac/

• Frameworks (BQ, Literacy, Numeracy, PSTRE) • Background questionnaire • International report, national reports • Technical Report • Proficiency level descriptions • PUF codeplan (variables and values) • Derived variable scripts • Webpackages (tables and exhibits) • Compendia for background and cognitive variables • Sections “Publications” and “Public Data & Analysis”

PISA creating SPSS files

Step 1:

Replace xxx with a proper file location where you saved the previous files

Step 2:

Select all and run SPSS

Step 3:

Save the active dataset with the file name as a “.sav” SPSS file

Step 4:

Repeat steps 1-3 for all other files

• Open the SPSS control file

61

Merging data files

• Merging data files has to be done with SPSS

• Preparation for the merge:

• Reduce number of countries

Student data file

Cognitive item file

Scored cognitive items file

School data file

Parents data file

62

Merging data files

• Merging data files has to be done with SPSS

• Preparation for the merge:

• Reduce number of countries

• Merge files pairwise

Open the first file and sort by CNT SCHOOLID STIDSTD

Open the second file and sort by CNT SCHOOLID STIDSTD

Merge first and second file

Continue to add files to the previously merged one

Remember all files have to be sorted by CNT SCHOOLID STIDSTD if the variables are present in the data file
