Database - PISA 2000Multi-dimensional Data RequestIn 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 up to four particular school-level and student-level questions and relate the resulting cells to student performance in a multi-dimensional table. In PISA 2000 there were three 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 (maximum of four) and countries of interest you should select them from the list boxes below. You will also need to specify whether you are interested to tabulate results for student performance in reading, mathematical or scientific literacy (only one selection possible per request). Note that the performance scores have been scaled so that across the OECD the mean is 500 with a standard deviation of 100. You also need to specify an e-mail address; this is where the output file will be sent. Then select "Submit Request" and a multidimensional table will be created and e-mailed to you as an MS ExcelTM file. Your request will need to be processed and may take some time. The results will be sent to the specified e-mail address. This table will show the percentage in each cell and the mean achievement in the selected assessment domain (reading, mathematical or 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. 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.
