PISA school reports – why (not)? Advantages Problems • Schools are interested in results • Results used as part of variety of school plans such as • School development plan • professional development plans • Action plan • Certain school bodies use results • Middle managers, subject areas groups, school councils, individual teachers • Bureau for education services • External evaluation of schools (supervision) • CPR • Received results at national level, but not at school or individual level • Which schools are assessed – primary or secondary? • PISA eligible students are in grade 1 of secondary schools. Administering of PISA starts in March/April – school reports do not reflect quality of instruction in secondary but in primary schools. • E.g. Podgorica Grammar School – 400 students from 30 different primary schools. • Is the sample representative for each of primary schools?
