PISA FOR DEVELOPMENT
Michael Ward
February, 2016
Benefits to countries of participating in PISA for Development
• International benchmarking – Education SDG
• Learning assessment results which better describe the country’s levels of proficiency
• Build capacity in assessment
• Join international community focused on learning outcomes with equity
• Gain access to the world’s leading assessment specialists and expertise
• Work with OECD to produce national PISA reports
115 countries have participated in many international large-scale assessments, including PISA

Education SDG and Education 2030 Framework for Action
5 out of 7 Education SDG targets are focused on learning outcomes and skills – increased demand for measuring learning outcomes on a global scale and PISA is included as part of the SDG monitoring framework
Indicator 4.1.1 Means of Verification
Proportion of children/young people: (a) in Grade 2/3; (b) at the end of primary; and (c) at the end of lower secondary achieving at least a minimum proficiency level in (i) reading and (ii) mathematics, by sex
(c) PISA: 2015; 2018; 2021; 2024; 2027; and 2030

PISA is already for Development
PISA and PISA-D
Outputs of PISA-D informing and
enhancing PISA from 2021 cycle onwards
What has been the experience of low- and middle-income countries in PISA?
• Participation built on prior experience with national, regional or international assessments
• Financial challenges of PISA participation greater than technical ones
• PISA results have informed some education policy
• PISA results highlight differences in education quality between high income and middle income countries
• Countries and OECD could do more to maximise participation by low and middle income countries
10
What do we need to do technically to enhance PISA for developing countries?
11
What are the needs and priorities of the participating countries?
What can we learn from other international large-scale assessments?
• Each of the assessments has been created to answer the needs of its own constituents.
• The assessments share more in common in the procedures they use than they do with content.
• The procedures which are common are those for creating frameworks, item development, sampling, scaling, analysis and reporting.
• The content most easily transferable is that contained in the contextual questionnaires – there are certain contextual characteristics needed across most developing countries.
• The least transferable content between assessments is the cognitive component – the test questions usually reflect very specific needs of the constituents, the curricula upon which they are based and the population at whom they are targeted.
Enhancing PISA to make it more relevant to developing countries
• Adjusting the PISA tests to better measure and discriminate at lower levels of proficiency
• Making the contextual instruments more relevant to lower-middle-income country contexts and policy issues
• Incorporating out-of-school youth in the assessment
• Helping countries to tackle financial and technical challenges through partnerships with donors and peers and through capacity building
• Ensuring the results of the assessment are used for policy dialogue and decision making through increased outreach to stakeholders, support for national analysis and reporting and sensitivity to local context

Incorporating out-of-school youth in the assessment
Strand A
Strand C
Incorporating out-of-school youth in the assessment – school and household survey
• A large enough sample size (2,700 completed cases) to test the validity of the questionnaire and the assessment items on the PISA scale and to provide a meaningful report for the countries
• To explore, test, validate and evaluate a methodology and an approach for identifying and assessing a nationally representative sample of 14-16 year-olds out-of-school or in –school in grades 6 and below in future cycles of PISA
• In-person interviews with 14-16 year-olds in grade 6 and below and in households
• Sampling plans that minimise costs to countries yet maximise results (probability-based sample and non-probability-based sample)
• Reading literacy and mathematics literacy tests (55minutes)
• Background questionnaire - respondent (35 minutes) and parent/guardian
• Test and questionnaire (respondent) delivered via tablet computer
