| contents | Reflections on the performance of Ireland and Portugal in the OECD/PISA 2000 assessment of reading literacy Gerry Shiel Educación In 2000, 15-year olds in 28 member countries of the Organisation forEconomic Co-operation and Development (OECD) and four additionalcountries took part in the Programme for International Student Assessment(PISA). While PISA assessed three cognitive domains reading literacy,mathematical literacy and scientific literacy this paper focuses on readingliteracy the major assessment domain in 2000. The purpose of the paper isto reflect on the performance of students in two OECD countries Ireland andPortugal. First, a context for considering the outcomes of PISA is provided byreviewing the outcomes of earlier international assessments of reading, inwhich Irish and Portuguese students performed at about the same levels.Second, the relatively strong performance of Ireland on the PISA readingliteracy combined scale and subscales is contrasted with the relatively weakerperformance of Portugal. Third, variables that are associated with performanceon PISA, including school and student-level socio-economic status, areconsidered. Fourth, links between the curriculum in English in Irish schools,the Irish Junior Certificate examination, and performance on PISA readingliteracy are explored, and it is concluded similarities between these mayaccount, in part, for the strong performance of Irish students on PISA. Thepaper concludes with a consideration of ways in wich PISA can inform policyin relation to the improvement of reading literacy in both Ireland and Portugal. 2002 artículo científico 0871-9187 https://www.redalyc.org/articulo.oa?id=37415204 en http://www.redalyc.org/revista.oa?id=374 Revista Portuguesa de Educação application/pdf Universidade do Minho Revista Portuguesa de Educação (Portugal) Num.2 Vol.15 |
