PISA 2000: Sample Weight Problems in Austria (Education Working Paper No. 5)
The purpose of this working paper is to quantify the comparability problems resulting from the inadequate coverage of the PISA target population in the Austrian PISA 2000 assessment and to establish adjustments that could be used to correct for this and thus to allow reliable comparisons between the 2000 and 2003 data. Using the supplementary data for the number of students in the PISA strata provided by the Austrian Ministry for Education, Science and Culture this report describes the details of the adjusted student weights for analysing the PISA 2000 Austrian data.

How are students faring in science today? 
Volume 1 - Analysis: Gives the most comprehensive international picture of science learning today. Volume 2 - Data: Presents the PISA 2006 full data set underlying Volume 1. PISA 2006 results - Analysis and DataThis publication presents the conceptual framework underlying the PISA 2006 survey. 
It includes a re-developed and expanded framework for scientific literacy, an innovative component on the assessment of students' attitudes to science and the frameworks for the assessment of reading and mathematics. Assessing Scientific, Reading and Mathematical Literacy: A Framework for PISA 2006Did you know that immigrant students are highly motivated to learn despite the greater obstacles they face at school? 
Drawing on data from the OECD's Programme for International Student Assessment (PISA), this report examines the performance of students with immigrant backgrounds and compares it to that of their native counterparts.
