| Abstract | PISA – the Programme for International Student Assessment – is the most comprehensive international assessment of educational outcomes to date. The study was initiated by the Organisation for Economic Cooperation and Development (OECD) as part of its INES programme, which provides the OECD member countries with internationally comparable data about their educational systems. In the context of this programme, PISA aims to examine the outcomes of schools in the participating countries. In Germany, the ministers of education in the 16 states resolved to extend the study, making it possible to analyse and compare the results of each state. The following summary of the study design, methods and results is based on the detailed report prepared by the German PISA consortium (Baumert et al., 2001; Baumert et al., 2002). PISA will provide the participating countries with information on how well their schools prepare young adults to meet the challenges of the future, and it will do so on a regular basis. The PISA assessments do not focus primarily on purely factual knowledge. Rather, they evaluate the wider knowledge and skills needed to participate in social, economic and political life in modern society. PISA examines the extent to which young adults have acquired these broader concepts and skills and gauges social disparities in educational performance. Additionally, central aspects of the living and learning environment both inside and outside school are analysed, making it possible to pinpoint potential reasons for any disparities identified. This will provide a broad empirical base for discussions of school policy decisions. PISA is a long-term project, planned to span three assessment cycles. Each cycle covers the three domains of reading literacy, mathematical literacy and scientific literacy, and looks in depth at one of these domains. The assessment What are the aims of PISA? What does PISA assess on the international level? for the first cycle took place in 2000, with a primary focus on reading literacy. The second cycle (assessment in 2003) will focus on mathematical literacy and the third (assessment in 2006) on scientific literacy. In each cycle, two-thirds of the testing time is devoted to the " major " domain, which is examined more thoroughly, while the other two domains provide a summary profile of skills. PISA also represents the first attempt to examine cross-curricular competen-cies in a large-scale student performance study. The first cycle looked at important prerequisites for self-regulated learning, including learning strategies, interest … |
