1 ILSAs The OECD Programme for International Student Assessment (PISA) Andreas Schleicher OECD Director for Education and Skills
2 PISA in brief Every three years since 2000, over half a million students - representing 15-year-olds in now over 80 countries - National sample sizes vary between 4000 and 30,000 students take an internationally agreed 2-hour test - Focus on mathematics, science and reading - Problem-solving, collaborative problem-solving, creative thinking, financial literacy and respond to questions on - their personal background, their schools, their well-being and their motivation Teachers, principals, parents and system leaders provide data on: - school policies, practices, resources and institutional factors that help explain performance differences
3 Some design choices and trade-offs ILSA s are complements, not substitutes of other research methods
4 Design choices and trade-offs Balancing investment in measurement of outcomes vs. measurement of covariates that can help to explain outcomes Improved questionnaires a priority Larger samples vs. higher quality of measurement Greater geographic granularity of results to compare apples with apples E.g. validity vs. efficiency or relevance vs. reliability Being open to generating new insights and hypothesis on the nature of relationships (fishing) vs. constraining design to answer specific questions (hunting) ILSA s are complements, not substitutes of other research methods In particular longitudinal components place constraints on design Balancing type I and type II errors
5 Design choices and trade-offs Measuring change vs changing the measures Every three years one of the frameworks is revised Bridging studies for content and delivery New measures are first explored through innovative assessment areas As comparable as possible but as country-specific as necessary Adaptive assessment instruments Greater investment in better and more modular context questionnaires Integration and links with national assessments Frameworks informed but not constrained by national standards and curricula Curriculum validation studies, extensive consensus building
6 Memorisation is less useful as problems become more difficult (OECD average) Greater success 1.00 Odds ratio Easy problem R² = 0.81 Less 0.70 success Source: Figure 4.3 Difficult problem Complexity of of mathematics tasks on the PISA scale
7 Elaboration strategies are more useful as problems become more difficult (OECD average) Greater Odds ratio success 1.50 R² = 0.82 Difficult problem Less 0.80 success Easy problem Complexity of mathematics tasks on the PISA scale Source: Figure 6.2
8 Interpretation and reporting Keeping things as simple as possible but as complex as necessary; and as comparable as possible but as country-specific as necessary
9 Things that can be addressed (and are) Comparable samples Sampling errors are now well within measurement errors Coverage issues addressed through supplementary studies (e.g. PISA-D) Meaningful units of comparisons Most federal countries now collect state-level PISA data Better instruments to facilitate and support use of PISA data Investment in communication Quality of media coverage has significantly evolved
10 Policy-uses and limitations The perfect can be the enemy of the good (and remember that without measurement policy-makers may just throw a coin)
11 A world without PISA One question is whether ILSA s meet the methodological requirements of some gold standard of social research another question is what the state of knowledge and policy development, both nationally and internationally, would have been without them. Some scientific revolutions have started with controlled experiments, many have started with better measurement
12 A world with PISA Seeing what is possible in education Helping policy-makers and educators to look outwards Placing national standards in a broader perspective Exposing grade inflation Contextualising curricular choices Lowering the political cost of action Raising the political cost of inaction Generating hypotheses

29 In conclusion ILSA s can help policy-development in many ways Seeing what is possible in education Helping policy-makers and educators to look outwards Putting national standards in a broader perspective Exposing grade inflation Lowering the political cost of action Raising the political cost of inaction Generating hypotheses See ILSA s as complements, not substitutes of other research methods Don t overload ILSA s with unrealistic expectations and avoid time and energy traps Don t underplay but also don t overplay RCTs Neuroscience, big data, predictive analytics Keep limitations in mind when reporting results
