Pisa Sample Tasks From The Pisa 2000 Assessment Reading Mathematical And Scientific Literacy

This book presents a sample of PISA 2000 tasks, and explains how these tasks were scored and how they relate to the conceptual framework underlying PISA.

In response to the need for internationally comparable student achievement data, the Organisation for Economic Cooperation and Development (OECD) launched the Programme for International Student Assessment (PISA). PISA represents a commitment by the members of OECD to monitor the outcomes of education systems in terms of student achievement. This publication describes the instruments used in the PISA assessment. It introduces the PISA approach to assessing reading, mathematical, and scientific literacy with its three dimensions of processes, content, and context. The document presents tasks from the PISA 2000 assessment and explains how these tasks were scored and how they relate to the conceptual framework underlying PISA. The document contains 45 reading questions, 11 mathematics questions, and 8 scientific literacy questions. (SLD)

The PISA 2000 Assessment introduces the PISA approach to assessing reading, mathematical and scientific literacy and describes the PISA 2000 assessment in terms of the content that students need to acquire, the processes that need to be performed and the contexts in which skills are applied.

The PISA 2000 Technical Report now describes the complex methodology underlying PISA 2000, along with additional features related to the implementation of the project at a level of detail that allows researchers to understand and replicate its analyses.

Knowledge and Skills for Life presents evidence on student performance in reading, mathematical and scientific literacy, reveals factors that influence the development of these skills at home and at school, and examines what the implications are for policy development.

This report extends the picture of literacy skills th PISA 2000 provides to additional countries that have recently joined the programme: Albania; Argentina; Bulgaria; Chile; Hong Kong-China; Indonesia; Israel; FYR Macedonia; Peru; Romania and Thailand.
