Description
The Programme for International Student Assessment (PISA) was created by the OECD member countries in 1997 to produce direct assessments of student performance, on a regular basis in an efficient, timely and cost-effective manner; and to provide more relevant and powerful indicators of human capital. PISA produces assessments of reading literacy, mathematical literacy, scientific literacy and a growing range of cross-curricular competencies among 15-year-olds in school. The dataset contains the anonymised records from the over 450,000 students in 65 countries who were sampled and took the PISA assessments. The records include background information about the studetns as well as thier motivations and learning styles. Background information on the schools attended by the students including school level policies and practices is included in the dataset.

- Sampling
- The target population of PISA is 15-year-old students in schools. First a random sample of schools in which 15-year-olds study is taken and from these a random sample of 15-year-old students is slected to take the PISA assessment.More detail will be provided in the PISA 2009 Technical Report, to be published in 2011.Until it is published the PISA 2006 Technical Report provides a useful reference. http://www.oecd.org/document/41/0,3343,en_32252351_32236191_42025897_1_1_1_1,00.html
- Estimation
- Item response models are used to estimate student scores on the assesment. More detail will be provided in the PISA 2009 Technical Report, to be published in 2011. The procedures and methodology are very similar to those used in previous PISA survyes and detailed for instance in the PISA 2006 Technical Report: http://www.oecd.org/document/41/0,3343,en_32252351_32236191_42025897_1_1_1_1,00.html
- Disclosure Avoidance
- PISA Technical Standards declare that all PISA materials designated as secure are kept confidential at all times. Secure materials include all test materials, data, and draft materials. Moreover, the schools and students sampled in PISA are anonymised. If there is a risk of indirect disclosure, countries can ask to suppress certain variables that might lead to such disclosure.
