Note: In 2022, student response rates decreased with respect to PISA 2018. A technically sound non-response bias analysis was submitted; however, the strength of the evidence was limited by the fact that no external student-level achievement variables could be used in the analysis. Based on the available evidence and experience of other countries participating in PISA, a small residual upward bias could not be excluded even though non-response adjustments likely limited its severity.

School response rates also fell short of the target. The analyses clearly indicate that school non-response has not led to any appreciable bias, but student non-response has given rise to a small upwards bias.

Note: In 2022, exclusions from the sample exceeded the acceptable rate by a large margin and showed a marked increase with respect to 2018. High levels of student exclusions may bias performance results upwards. In Denmark, a major reason for the rise appears to be the increased share of students with diagnosed dyslexia and the fact that more of these students are using electronic assistive devices to help them read on the screen, including during exams. The lack of such an accommodation in PISA led schools to exclude many of these students.

Note: In 2022, student response rates decreased with respect to PISA 2018. School response rates also fell short of the target (as they did in 2018). At the school level, the risk of bias due to non-response is limited due to the sampling design. A non-response bias analysis was submitted; however, the strength of the evidence was limited by the fact that no external student-level achievement variables could be used in the analysis (only student grade information, already used in non-response adjustments, was available). Reassuringly, the proxies for school and student achievement (school size and student grade) that were used in the analyses showed no or very limited relationship with participation rates. Nevertheless, based on the available evidence, and on the experience of other countries participating in PISA, a small residual upward bias could not be excluded, even though non-response adjustments likely limited its severity.

Note: In 2022, Iceland relied on a server-based administration (using Chromebooks) in some schools. Students in these schools experienced difficulties moving through the cognitive assessment early in the testing period. Further investigation traced the problem back to overload on the PISA contractor’s server. The problem was rapidly solved for students who were tested later and did not affect other countries that used a server-based administration. In Iceland, it affected at most 13% of the final sample (438 students). During data adjudication, these data were thoroughly reviewed, and considered to be fit for reporting: the responses of students who were potentially affected did show good fit with the model, and were not remarkably different from the performance of students in other schools (see Annex A4). Furthermore, analyses conducted by the PISA National Centre for Iceland (where, due to the census nature of the survey, schools’ results in PISA could be tracked over time) confirmed that the issue affected only students’ ability to complete the test but not the way in which these students responded to the parts that they completed: performance changes were very similar in affected and non-affected schools.

Notes: In 2022, student response rates decreased with respect to PISA 2018 and fell short of the target. A thorough non-response bias analysis was submitted using external achievement data at student level as auxiliary information. The analysis provided evidence to suggest a residual upwards bias of about 0.1 standard deviations, after non-response adjustments are taken into account. On the PISA scale, considering that the standard deviation in Ireland ranged (in 2018) from 78 score points in mathematics to 91 score points in reading, this could translate into an estimated bias of approximately eight or nine points. The bias associated with trend and cross-country comparisons, however, might be smaller if past data or data for other countries are biased in the same direction.
The testing period changed from March-April (in earlier PISA assessments) to October-December (in PISA 2022).

Note: In 2022, student response rates decreased with respect to PISA 2018 and fell short of the target. School response rates also fell short of the target. A thorough and detailed non-response bias analysis was submitted using external achievement data at student level but also information on chronic absenteeism as auxiliary information along with demographic characteristics. The analysis provided evidence to suggest a residual upwards bias of about 0.1 standard deviations, after non-response adjustments are taken into account, driven entirely by student non-response (school non-participation did not result in significant bias, in contrast). The analysis also suggests that chronically absent students are over-represented among non-respondents in PISA. On the PISA scale, considering that the standard deviation in New Zealand ranged (in 2018) from 93 score points in mathematics to 106 score points in reading, this could translate into an estimated bias of approximately 10 points. The bias associated with trend and cross-country comparisons, however, might be smaller if past data or data for other countries are biased in the same direction.

Note: In 2022, Norway relied on a server-based administration (using Chromebooks) in some schools. Students in these schools experienced difficulties moving through the cognitive assessment early in the testing period. Further investigation traced the problem back to overload on the PISA contractor’s server. The problem was rapidly solved for students who were tested later and did not affect other countries that used a server-based administration. In Norway, it affected at most 9% of the final sample (584 students). During data adjudication, these data were thoroughly reviewed, and considered to be fit for reporting: the responses of students who were potentially affected did show good fit with the model, and were not remarkably different from the performance of students in other schools (see Annex A4).

Note: In the challenging circumstances surrounding schooling in Panama in 2022 (teacher strikes, road blockades, and student absenteeism), student response rates decreased markedly from 90% with respect to PISA 2018 and fell short of the standard. No non-response bias analysis was submitted; the PISA national centre explained that non-response was potentially related to the agitated school climate students found themselves in when returning to their schools after the strikes. A comparison of respondent characteristics (both before and after non-response adjustment) to characteristics of the full eligible sample of students suggests that (before non-response adjustments were taken into account), non-response was related to students’ grade level and special-needs status. Based on the available information, it is not possible to exclude the possibility of bias; considering the analyses on student non-response conducted in other countries, the residual bias after non-response adjustments are taken into account is likely to correspond to an upward bias.

Note: In 2022, student response rates decreased slightly with respect to PISA 2018 and fell short of the target. School response rates also fell short of the target. An informative non-response bias analysis was submitted using external achievement data at student level as auxiliary information along with demographic characteristics; analyses were limited to England and Scotland as the largest subnational entities within the United Kingdom. The analysis provided evidence to suggest a small residual upwards bias, driven entirely by student non-response (school non-participation did not result in significant bias, in contrast). The bias associated with trend comparisons, however, might be smaller or entirely absent when considering the fact that response rates remained close to those observed in 2018.

Note: In 2022, school participation rates missed the standard by a substantial margin, and participation rates were particularly low among private schools (representing about 7% of the student population). A non-response bias analysis was submitted, indicating that, after replacement schools and nonresponse adjustments are taken into account, a number of characteristics (not including direct measures of school performance) are balanced across respondents and non-respondents. Exclusions from the sample also showed a marked increase, with respect to 2018, and exceeded the acceptable rate by a small margin; finally, the response rate for students was only slightly above the target (80%). Based on the available information, it is not possible to exclude the possibility of bias, nor to determine its most likely direction.
