  1. PISA 2012

  2. What is PISA? • International large-scale assessment organized by the Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development (OECD) • NCES is U.S. coordinating and funding organization • PISA Governing Board (PGB) determines policy • Assessment of 15-year-old students • Administered every 3 years since 2000

  3. What is PISA? • In 2012, 68 participating education systems • Three U.S. states: Connecticut, Florida, and Massachusetts

  4. What is PISA? • Assessment subjects: • Mathematics, science, reading literacy • Mathematics was main subject assessed in 2012 • Computer-based mathematics and reading literacy • Optional assessment taken by 32 education systems • Content knowledge, not limited to school-based curricula • PISA assesses applied knowledge/literacy: • “How well can students nearing the end of compulsory schooling apply their knowledge to real-life situations?”

  5. What PISA Reports Average Scores: Scale of 0-1000 for all domains Proficiency Levels: Percentages of students scoring at 6 levels Trends: Change between average scores in 2012 and the scores in previous assessment years Subgroup scores: International (e.g., gender, language spoken in home) and U.S. specific variables (e.g., race/ethnicity)

  6. U.S PISA Findings

  7. General patterns of U.S. results • Ranked better in reading literacy than in mathematics and science literacy • Below OECD average score in mathematics only • Higher percentage at low proficiency levels than OECD average in mathematics only • Lower percentage of top performers than OECD average in mathematics only • No measurable change in average scores in mathematics, science, or reading literacy

  8. Mathematics Literacy

  9. PISA 2012 mathematics literacy content categories Uncertainty and Data (25%) Quantity (25%) Change and Relationships (25%) Can students model change and relationships with the appropriate functions and equations? • Can students use probability and statistics and other techniques of data representation and description to mathematically describe, model, and interpret uncertainty? • Are 15-year-olds able to comprehend multiple representations of numbers, engage in mental calculation, employ estimation, and assess the reasonableness of results? Space and Shape (25%) • Can students understand perspective, create and read maps, and manipulate 3D objects? Note: Percentages shown are the approximate percentage of scale score points.

  10. PISA 2012 mathematics literacy process categories Formulate (25%) • Can 15-year-olds recognize and identify opportunities to use mathematics and then provide mathematical structure to a problem presented in some contextualized form in order to formulate situations mathematically? Employ (50%) • Are students able to employ mathematical concepts, facts, procedures, and reasoning to solve mathematically-formulated problems and obtain mathematical conclusions? Interpret (25%) • Can students interpret, apply and evaluate mathematical outcomes in order to determine whether results are reasonable and make sense in the context of the problem? Note: Percentages shown are the approximate percentage of scale score points.
