1 1 () Science competencies for tomorrow s world Seeing education in Norway through the prism of Oslo, 10 December 2007 Andreas Schleicher Head, Indicators and Analysis Division OECD Directorate for Education
2 2 Today 1. OECD s Programme for () What measures and why 2. Where we are and where we can be Where countries stand in terms of quality, equity and efficiency in education What the best performing countries show can be achieved 3. How we can get there Some policy levers that emerge from international comparisons
3 3 OECD s Programme for International Student Assessment () What measures and why How works Briefing of Council 14 November 2007
4 4 A three-yearly global assessment that examines the performance of 15-year-olds in key subject areas as well as a wider range of educational outcomes Including students attitudes to learning and their learning behaviour collects contextual data from students, parents, schools and systems in order to identify policy levers Coverage Representative samples of between 3,500 and 50, year-old students drawn in each country Most federal countries also draw regional samples covers roughly 90% of the world economy.
5 5 countries in Coverage of world economy 77% 81% 83% 85% 86% 87%
6 6 How works r A strong international network of expertise among the participating countries From establishing the assessment frameworks The assessments include tasks from more than 40 countries developing the instruments Cross-national and cross-cultural validity to analysing and interpreting the results National, regional and international analyses and reports In-depths country peer reviews supported by a consortium of leading research institutions ACER, CITO, ETS, NIER, WESTAT co-ordinated through the OECD in collaboration with other international organisations.
7 7 Key findings from 2006 Where we are how students perform across countries Where we can be the top performers How we can get there some school and system factors Briefing of Council 14 November 2007
8 r The latest assessment emphasizes science competencies, defined in terms of an individual s: Scientific knowledge and use of that knowledge to identify scientific issues, explain scientific phenomena, and draw evidence-based conclusions about science-related issues Understanding of the characteristic features of science as a form of human knowledge and enquiry Awareness of how science and technology shape our material, intellectual and cultural environments Willingness to engage with science-related issues r A large proportion of complex open-ended tasks.
9 9 Deciding what to assess... looking back at what students were expected to have learned or looking ahead to how well they can extrapolate from what they have learned and apply their knowledge and skills in novel settings. For, the OECD countries chose the latter.
10 10 How the demand for skills has changed Economy-wide measures of routine and non-routine task input (US) (Levy and Murnane) Mean task input as percentiles of the 1960 task distribution

17 17 Distribution of student performance Briefing of Council 14 November 2007
18 18 Top and bottom performers in science These students can consistently identify, explain and apply scientific knowledge, link different information sources and explanations and use evidence from these to justify decisions, demonstrate advanced scientific thinking in unfamiliar situations These students often confuse key features of a scientific investigation, apply incorrect information, mix personal beliefs with facts in support of a position Large proportion of top performers Large prop. of poor perf.
19 19 Top performers matter Excellence in education and countries research intensity
20 20 Money matters - but other things do too
21 21 Investments and outcomes r Since 2000, expenditure per primary and secondary student increased across OECD countries by 39% (in real terms) while outcomes generally remained flat but there are notable exceptions
22 22 Poland raised its Between reading 2000 performance and by 28 points, 2003 Poland delayed the equivalent to ¾ of a school year - What happened? separation of students into different school types beyond the age of 15 years In 2003, performance variation among schools Between 2000 and 2003 had fallen from 51% to showed the secondlargest increase in 16% of the variation of student performance reading (17 points) and a further 11 point increase But did this lead to since 2003 genuine improvements of school performance? Most of that increase resulted from smaller proportions at the bottom level (23% in 2000, and three-quarters in vocational tracks, 17%in 2003) Did this harm the better performers? OECD (2007), Learning for tomorrow s world: First results from 2006, Table 6.1a
23 23 Students attitudes to science and their awareness of the life opportunities science may open Briefing of Council 14 November 2007
24 24 Student attitudes r 15-year-olds generally value science Recognition of economic and social benefits but somewhat less so when it concerns themselves only a minority expresses interest in a scientific career Close relationships with performance and socioeconomic background
25 25 Students generally value science but report stronger belief in the technological potential of science than in its capacity to make social improvements Norway Science is important for helping us to understand the natural world Advances in science and technology usually improve people's living conditions Science is valuable to society OECD average Advances in science and technology usually help to improve the economy Advances in science and technology usually bring social benefits Change in science performance per unit of the index % Score points OECD (2007), 2006, Figure 3.2
26 26 but somewhat less so when it concerns themselves Norway I find that science helps me to understand things around me I will use science in many ways when I am an adult Some concepts in science help me see how I relate to other people OECD average When I leave school there will be many opportunities for me to use science Science is very relevant to me Change in science performance per unit of the index % Score points OECD (2007), 2006, Figure 3.4
27 27 and only a minority report interest in a scientific career Norway I would like to work in a career involving science I would like to study science after secondary school I would like to work on science projects as an adult I would like to spend my life doing advanced science Change in science performance per unit of the index OECD average % Score points OECD (2007), 2006, Figure 3.13
28 28 Science and the environment r r r 58% of Norwegian 15-year-olds report familiarity and knowledge of the increase of greenhouse gases in the atmosphere, 77% with consequences of clearing forests for other land use, 51% with issues around pollution and acid rain (large variation across countries) Awareness of environmental issues is closely linked with students science performance and with their social background Norwegian students express a below-average concern for environmental issues and a below-average sense of personal responsibility for sustainable development Like in other countries, only a minority are optimistic that the issues will be successfully addressed and the more students know and the better they perform in science, the less optimistic they are
29 29 Some degree of pessimism among students about the future of the natural environment problems associated with the areas below will improve over the next 20 years Norway Energy shortages Water shortages Air pollution OECD average Nuclear waste Extinction of plants and animals Clearing of forests for other land use Change in science performance per unit of the index % Score points OECD (2007), 2006, Figure 3.20

52 52 r r r Progress Why care? Concerns about skill barriers to economic growth, productivity growth and rates of technological innovation One additional year of education equals to between 3 and 6% of GDP Rising college-level qualifications seem generally not to have led to an inflation of the labour-market value of qualifications (in all but three of the 20 countries with available data, the earnings benefit increased between 1997 and 2003, in Germany, Italy and Hungary by between 20% and 40%) Fairness Concerns about the role of skills in creating social inequity in economic outcomes Both average and distribution of skill matter to long-term growth Value for money Concerns about the demand for, and efficiency and effectiveness of, investments in public goods
