What is PISA?

PISA – Programme for International Student Assessment

Created by the Organisation for Economic Co-operation


and Development (OECD), PISA tests the skills and
knowledge of 15-year-old students in reading,
mathematics, and science.
PISA covers three domains: reading literacy,
mathematical literacy, and scientific literacy.

PISA aims to define each domain less in terms of


mastery of the corresponding school curriculum and
more in terms of mastery of the important knowledge
and skills needed in adult life.
Scientific Question Categories
SCIENTIFIC COMPETENCIES

 Explain phenomena scientifically to recognise, offer and


evaluate explanations for a range of natural and
technological phenomena.
 Evaluate and design scientific enquiry to describe and
appraise scientific investigations and propose ways of
addressing questions scientifically.
 Interpret data and evidence scientifically to analyse and
evaluate data, claims and arguments in a variety of
representations and draw appropriate scientific
conclusions.
KNOWLEDGE CATEGORIES
 Content knowledge refers to the knowledge of theories, explanatory
ideas, information and facts
 Procedural knowledge refers to an understanding of how such
knowledge has been derived, the knowledge about the concepts and
procedures that are essential for scientific enquiry, and that underpin
the collection, analysis and interpretation of scientific data.
 Epistemic knowledge refers to the nature of that knowledge, an
understanding of the nature and origin of knowledge in science, and
reflects students’ capacity to think and engage in reasoned discourse
as scientists do. Epistemic knowledge is required to understand the
distinction between observations, facts, hypotheses, models and
theories, but also to understand why certain procedures, such as
experiments, are central to establishing knowledge in science.

CONTENT AREAS

 Knowledge can also be classified according to the major scientific fields to


which it pertains: physical systems, living systems, and earth and
space systems.

CONTEXT OF ASSESSMENT ITEMS

 Three context categories identify the broad areas of life in which the test
problems may arise: “personal”, which are contexts related to students’
and families’ daily lives; “local/national”, which are contexts related to the
community in which students live; and “global”, which are contexts
defined by life across the world.
