PISA is the abbreviation of "Programmed International Student Assessment", namely "programme for international student assessment". This is a student ability assessment project led by the Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development (OECD), which mainly tests the academic ability of students aged 15 in reading, mathematics and science.
The main purpose of PISA assessment is to provide an internationally standardized assessment of students' ability independent of the education systems of different countries, so as to compare the fairness, efficiency and quality of education in different countries. Through this assessment, the government and society can better understand the performance of the education system and the needs of students, so as to formulate more effective education policies.
PISA evaluation is led by OECD, and the evaluation standards and processes are strictly formulated. The assessment is conducted in the form of questionnaires and papers, including reading, mathematics and science. Each part of the test takes about 2 hours. The questionnaire mainly investigates students' background information, including family background, school environment and study time.
The results of PISA evaluation are usually published in the form of reports, which make a detailed analysis and comparison between students' ability level and the performance of the education system. These results are of great reference value to the government, educational institutions, parents and students.
For the government and educational institutions, PISA evaluation can provide objective information about the performance of the education system, help them find the advantages and disadvantages of the education system, and thus make more effective education policies.
For parents and students, PISA assessment can provide objective information about their own or their children's abilities, help them better understand their learning needs and goals, and thus make more effective learning plans.
In a word, PISA evaluation is an important international education evaluation project, which provides objective information about students' ability and the performance of the education system for the government, educational institutions, parents and students, and is of great significance to improving the quality of education and promoting education equity.
