This digest provides a summary of what we found in relation to the performance of students in PISA 2022. We consider how the three nations compare internationally, how their performance has changed over time, and the extent to which performance varies by gender and socio-economic status.
In this Digest, we explore how students performed in PISA 2022 mathematics in more detail, exploring performance across the different areas of content. We also consider their attitudes and experiences of learning mathematics, based on their response to the questionnaire.
In this Digest, we explore what the students told us about their wellbeing in their response to the PISA 2022 questionnaire. We consider what they tell us about their sense of life satisfaction, their sense of belonging and safety in school, and their experience of bullying.
If your school is part of the OECD’s Programme for International Student Assessment (PISA) then you might be wondering what can you expect from the experience of participation? As we say in Blog 1 of this series, PISA can help us to share understanding of trends and changes in education around the world: a holistic view of how learning adaptations happen as they happen.
The OECD’s Programme for International Student Assessment (PISA) is not just another test for schools which occurs every three years. PISA has an authentic educational aim: to examine not only what 15-year-olds know towards the end of their compulsory schooling in science, reading, and mathematics, but crucially what they can do with that knowledge. The data collected in PISA studies (through tests and questionnaire surveys) allows participating countries to learn from policies and practices in other countries and to monitor changes and trends in education over time in the three domains listed above. For example, such data can help us understand the impact of the covid pandemic on learning and attainment; and how pupils engage with digital tools.
