Abstract
The OECD Programme for International Student Assessment (PISA) assesses the extent to which 15-year-old students near the end of compulsory education have acquired the knowledge and skills that are essential for full participation in modern societies. Eighty-one countries and economies took part in its eighth cycle, PISA 2022, in which a comprehensive set of indicators, spanning student performance, attitudes towards learning, school environment and resources, and many other aspects of school life were collected for comparison and analysis in what is the world’s largest comparative education study.
PISA findings have a significant impact on education systems worldwide, so it is essential that its data is collected within rigorous technical standards and following the best practices in educational assessment to assure valid, reliable, and internationally comparable findings.
This Technical Report aims to describe and provide clarity on the technical and methodological underpinnings of these findings. Its goal is twofold: to act as a tool for quality control to enable all stakeholders involved in PISA, as well as the general public to evaluate the quality of the data released in PISA 2022 regarding its four guiding principles of validity, reliability, comparability and fairness outlined in its Technical Standards; and to empower data analysts and researchers to understand this study and its outputs, thus fostering the further use of PISA data.
The PISA results were achieved through the work of PISA International Contractors that led the study at the international level, National Centres led by National Project Managers that implemented PISA in each participating country and economy, and subject matter expert groups. Chapter 1 of this Technical Report describes in the different groups involved in the implementation of PISA 2022, and Annex J contains a list of individuals who contributed to this PISA cycle
Description
The Programme for International Student Assessment (PISA) is one of the largest and most comprehensive comparative education studies in the world. A wide variety of countries and economies worldwide collect information on student performance, school environment, and other relevant variables using standardized, uniform procedures that assure the results are comparable and meaningful. This Technical Report has been prepared by those who implemented PISA during its 2022 cycle to provide transparency to these procedures and to the statistical and mathematical methods that underpin the comparability and validity of PISA 2022 results.
