Long abstract
PISA Data Analysis Manual: SPSS and SAS, Second Edition
The OECD Programme for International Student Assessment (PISA) surveys collected data on students’ performances in reading, mathematics and science, as well as contextual information on students’ background, home characteristics and school factors which could influence performance. The initial results for PISA 2000 is found in Knowledge and Skills for Life – First Results from PISA 2000 (OECD, 2001), for PISA 2003 in Learning for Tomorrow’s World – First Results from PISA 2003 (OECD, 2004) and for PISA 2006 in PISA 2006: Science Competencies for Tomorrow’s World (OECD, 2007). This publication is an essential tool for researchers, as it provides all the information required to understand the PISA databases and perform analyses in accordance with the complex methodologies used to collect and process the data. It includes detailed information on how to analyse the PISA data, enabling researchers to both reproduce the initial results and to undertake further analyses. In addition to the inclusion of the necessary techniques, the manual also includes a detailed account of the PISA 2006 database. This publication is a revised edition of the PISA 2003 Data Analysis Manual (OECD, 2005). The chapters in the manual are expanded to cover various analytical issues in PISA in general, while applying examples from all available PISA surveys – PISA 2000, PISA 2003 and PISA 2006. |
