  4. Nature of the assessments PISA • 390 minutes of testing material organized into different combinations of test booklets • 210 minutes in length 120 min: reading 90 min: mathematics 90 min: science • Student and administration questionnaires PCAP • Similar to PISA • Student, teacher and administration questionnaires

  5. Defining ‘Reading’ PISA • Accessing and retrieving: locate, retrieve distinct pieces of information. • Integrating and interpreting: make internal sense of a text. • Reflecting and evaluating: draw upon knowledge, ideas, attitudes beyond the text to relate it to one’s own conceptual/experiential reference frames. PCAP • Comprehension: explicit and implicit info; vocabulary, parts, elements, events • Interpretation: analyze, synthesize to develop broader persp., ident. theme/thesis • Response to text (includes response and reflection): personal connections, emotional response, evaluative stance

  6. Scales and Levels PISA Mean (OECD): 500 Standard Deviation: 100 Levels Level 1 (a, b) to Level 6 • Level 2 (407 to 479): ‘baseline level of proficiency, at which students begin to demonstrate the reading literacy competencies that will enable them to participate effectively and productively in life’ PCAP Mean (pan-Can.): 500 Standard Deviation: 100 Levels Below Level 1 to Level 3/4 • Level 2 (380 to 575): ‘acceptable level of performance for 13-year-olds’
