Ninomiya, Shuichi – Assessment in Education: Principles, Policy & Practice, 2019
PISA presents a new image for academic achievement, which has prompted Japanese education reforms over the past decade to innovate teaching and learning for 'PISA-style literacy'.

Damiani, Valeria – Research Papers in Education, 2016
Despite Italy's extensive participation in most large-scale assessments, their actual influence on Italian educational policies is less easy to identify.

This article examines the various ways in which these studies have…

Tulip, Peter; Wurzburg, Gregory – OECD Publishing (NJ1), 2007
The average educational attainment of US students is weak by international comparison. For example, mean results of PISA test scores are below the OECD [Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development] average. This is despite substantial resources devoted to the schooling system. One partial explanation for this is that academic standards,…
