This open access book compares and contrasts the results of
international student assessments in ten countries. The OECD's
Programme for International Student Assessment (PISA) released the
results of its 2018 assessment in December 2019. This book reflects
the debates that typically follow the release of these results and
focuses on the causes of differences between countries. Such causes
include continuous decline in one country, improvement combined
with increasing internal inequalities in another country, or rapid
improvement in spite of an outdated curriculum in yet another. In
addition, the book discusses a number of general questions: Is
knowledge outdated? Are computers taking over and replacing
teachers? Are schools killing creativity? Are we adequately
preparing the next generation? Are schools failing to educate our
kids? The book starts out with a summary of PISA's evolution and
PISA results, and an explanation of the major factors that play a
role in changes in countries' results. The next ten chapters are
devoted to ten specific countries, offering a summary of data and
an explanation of the major drives for changes in education results
for each one. Each chapter includes a short description of the
country's educational system as well as the impact of PISA and
other ILSA studies on the country's educational policies. The
chapters also include a timeline of policy measures and main
hallmarks of the country's educational evolution, discussing the
impact of these measures on its PISA results. A final reference
chapter explains what PISA is, what it measures and how. While
highlighting the 2018 results, the book also takes into
consideration previous results, as well as long-term initiatives.
This book gathers the contribution of well-known and respected
experts in the field. Specialists such as Eric Hanushek, for the
US, Tim Oates, for England, Montse Gomendio, for Spain, Gunda Tire,
for Estonia, and all other contributors draw on their vast
experience and statistical analysis expertise to draw a set of rich
country lessons and recommendations that are invaluable for all of
those who care about improving a country's education system.
