Title: Session 6: Education- International databases and comparisons


1
Session 6 Education- International databases and
comparisons
Organisation for Economic Cooperation and
Development (OECD)

Joint OECD/ONS/Government of Norway workshop
Measurement of non-market output in education
and health London, 3-5 October 2006 Michael
Davidson Indicators and Analysis
Division Directorate for Education, OECD

Aim of presentation
  • What internationally comparative data and
    indicators are available for measuring
    educational output/outcomes?
  • PISA and other data

3
Available OECD education output data
  • Student numbers
  • For all levels of education
  • Student instruction hours
  • For ages 7-15
  • Graduate numbers
  • Upper secondary and higher education
  • Educational attainment of the population
  • Stock of qualifications
  • Programme for International Student Assessment-
  • International student test scores

PISA
4
PISA
  • Measures the knowledge and skills of 15-year-olds
    in
  • Reading literacy
  • Mathematics literacy
  • Scientific literacy
  • A comprehensive assessment of the yield of
    education systems to age 15
  • including and beyond the curriculum
  • Measures what students can do, rather than what
    they have learnt
  • Produces standardised scores
  • Mean performance of 500 and standard deviation of
    100
  • Within each subject domain

5
PISA
  • 3 yearly cycle with major/minor domains

2000 2003 2006 2009 2012

  • School and student background questionnaires
  • Public/private schools
  • Social background of students
  • First language migrant status
  • Student engagement and motivation
  • 57 countries in PISA 2006
  • All OECD, EU countries and others

Mean mathematics scores overall (OECD)
OECD (2004), Learning for tomorrows world First
results from PISA 2003, Table 2.5c, p.356.

Variation in student performance in mathematics
OECD (2004), Learning for tomorrows world First
results from PISA 2003, Table 4.1a, p.383.

Mean scores in mathematics performance (2003)Raw
scores and scores adjusted as if the mean ESCS
would be equal in all OECD countries
9
Other relevant data series
  • PISA
  • gt up to end of lower secondary education
  • Plus earlier assessment in the future?
  • TIMSS (Trends in maths and science)
  • Assessments in 4th and 8th grades in maths and
    science
  • 4-yearly cycle, most recent in 2003
  • More curriculum focussed than PISA
  • Less comprehensive country coverage of OECD/EU
    countries than PISA
  • PIRLS (Progress in International Reading Literacy
    Study)
  • 4th grade reading literacy
  • 5 yearly cycle, first in 2001, next in 2006
  • Country coverage more like TIMSS than PISA

10
Upper secondary and Higher Education
  • No similar international student assessments.yet
  • Available data on graduate numbers and rates
  • But these measure output quantity not quality
  • How to treat non-completers?
  • Labour market outcomes relevant?
  • Comparative employment rates
  • Earnings differentials

11
Summary
  • For schooling up to lower secondary education
    PISA can provide useful output and outcome
    measures, noting
  • It is a yield measure
  • Equity as well as quality is a desirable outcome
  • Other international studies can complement this
  • Different phasing country coverage
  • But differences in methodology with PISA
  • Upper secondary and higher education have to
    reply on more traditional measures
  • Student numbers, graduates or possibly labour
    market outcomes
