This book describes the design, development, delivery and impact of
the mathematics assessment for the OECD Programme for International
Student Assessment (PISA). First, the origins of PISA's concept of
mathematical literacy are discussed, highlighting the underlying
themes of mathematics as preparation for life after school and
mathematical modelling of the real world, and clarifying PISA's
position within this part of the mathematics education territory.
The PISA mathematics framework is introduced as a significant
milestone in the development and dissemination of these ideas. The
underlying mathematical competencies on which mathematical literacy
so strongly depends are described, along with a scheme to use them
in item creation and analysis. The development and implementation
of the PISA survey and the consequences for the outcomes are
thoroughly discussed. Different kinds of items for both paper-based
and computer-based PISA surveys are exemplified by many publicly
released items along with details of scoring. The novel survey of
the opportunity students have had to learn the mathematics promoted
through PISA is explained. The book concludes by surveying
international impact. It presents viewpoints of mathematics
educators on how PISA and its constituent ideas and methods have
influenced teaching and learning practices, curriculum
arrangements, assessment practices, and the educational debate more
generally in fourteen countries.
