    PISA and International Education Assessments seminar

    Large-scale international education studies, such as the OECD’s Programme for International Student Assessment (PISA), have grown in prominence and importance over the last decade. Yet there has been much debate and controversy about the robustness of such studies, and how best the data that they generate can be used. 

    Part of the BERA President's Roundtable Seminar Series, the aim of this seminar is to discuss the methodological foundations of studies such as PISA and what analysis of these data can and cannot reveal. It will address issues such as the design of the PISA test, the strengths, limitations and uncertainties with the PISA scaling model, and what this then means for users (and consumers) of these important data. Presentations will be given by experts from the UK and Germany, including individuals who have led the analysis of the PISA 2015 national reports.
