| description |
The number of countries that regularly
participate in international large-scale assessments has
increased sharply over the past 15 years, with the share of
countries participating in the Programme for International
Student Assessment growing from one-fifth of countries in
2000 to over one-third of countries in 2015. What accounts
for this increase? This paper explores the evidence for
three broad explanations: globalization of assessments,
increasing technical capacity for conducting assessments,
and increased demand for the microeconomic and macroeconomic
data from these assessments. Data were compiled from more
than 200 countries for this analysis, for six time periods
between 2000 and 2015, yielding more than 1,200
observations. The data cover each country’s participation in
each of six cycles of PISA as it relates to the country’s
level of economic development, region, prior experience with
assessment, and OECD membership. The results indicate that
the odds of participation in PISA are markedly higher for
OECD member countries, countries in the Europe and Central
Asia region, high- and upper-middle-income countries, and
countries with previous national and international
assessment experience; the paper also finds that regional
assessment experience is unrelated to PISA participation. |
