Database - PISA 2000

Interactive Data Selection

In addition to assessing student performance, PISA also collects information on student attitudes and approaches to learning as well as the learning environment and organisation of schooling.

This interactive data selection facility allows you to select particular school-level and student-level questions and relate these to student performance

In PISA 2000 there were four student questionnaires: A student questionnaire collecting background information on students and their learning environment, a questionnaire on learning strategies, and a questionnaire on computer familiarity. There was also a School Questionnaire filled out by the senior administrator in the school of the sampled students.

When you have decided on the questions and countries of interest you should select them from the list boxes below. Then select "Create Tables" and a set of tables will be created for you. The tables will show the percentage in each response category and the mean achievement in each of the three PISA assessment domains (reading, mathematical and scientific literacy). The standard error is also provided. For PISA 2000 each domain was scaled so that across the OECD the mean is 500 with a standard deviation of 100.

You can make multiple selections by holding down the "CTRL" key on your computer keyboard while clicking items on the list. You can make as many selections as you require but as more variables and countries are selected the download time will increase significantly.

Austria (adjusted weights)
As noted in the PISA 2000 Technical Report, the Austrian sample for the PISA 2000 assessment did not adequately cover students enrolled in combined school and work-based vocational programmes as required by the technical standards for PISA. This non-conformity was corrected in the PISA 2003 assessment. To allow reliable comparisons, adjustments and modified student weights were developed which make the PISA 2000 estimates comparable to those obtained in PISA 2003 (OECD Working Paper No. 5 "PISA 2000: Sample Weight Problems in Austria" available at http://www.oecd.org/edu/workingpapers, presents further details on this issue). However, the non-adjusted Austrian data were not used for the calculation of the OECD average and total.
