	Programme for International Student Assessment (PISA):Department (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-19)
		The Programme for International Student Assessment (PISA) is an internationally standardised assessment that was jointly developed by participating countries and administered to 15-year-olds in schools.
		PISA assesses how far students near the end of compulsory education have acquired some of the knowledge and skills that are essential for full participation in society.
		The PISA 2003 country profiles tool allows the user to obtain information for a country or set of countries on the performance of 15-year-olds (in mathematics, science, reading and problem solving), their family background and approaches to learning, as well as the way their schools are managed.

	Programme for International Student Assessment - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The Programme for International Student Assessment (PISA) is a three-yearly world-wide test of 15-year-old schoolchildren's scholastic performance, developed by the Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD) in 1997.
		Another International assessment test is the Trends in Mathematics and Science Study (TIMSS), undertaken by the International Association for Evaluation of Educational Achievement (IEA).
		PISA argues that international assessment should not be restricted to a set body of knowledge.

	OECD PISA: Programme for International Student Assessment
		PISA is based on a dynamic model of lifelong learning in which new knowledge and skills necessary for successful adaptation to a changing world are continuously acquired throughout life.
		Although the first assessment domains (reading literacy, mathematical literacy and scientific literacy) are closely related to subjects learned at school, PISA concentrates on the value of the skills acquired, beyond the school gates through applying literacy in a broader sense.
		PISA 2000 analysed the students' approaches to learning and beliefs in their own abilities, motivation and engagement and other aspects of student attitudes, under the heading "self-regulated learning".

	Test (student assessment) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Students of engineering are often required to present an original design or computer program developed over the course of days or even months.
		To counterbalance this, often teachers and professors don't grade their students on tests alone, placing considerable weight on homework, attendance, in-class discussion activity, and laboratory investigations (where applicable).
		In the United States and other countries, tests based primarily on multiple-choice questions have come to be used for assessments of great importance, with consequences including the funding levels of public schools and the admission of students to institutions of higher education.

	PISA
		Students were grouped into six proficiency levels representing tasks of increasing difficulty, with level one including the lowest scores and level six, the highest.
		To allow comparisons of student achievement in minority-language and majority-language school systems, the number of students participating in the 2003 PISA assessment was much larger in Canada than in other countries — approximately 28,000 15-year-olds participated in PISA 2003 in Canada compared to between 5,000 and 10,000 in other countries.
		PISA 2000 found that, for mathematics, significant differences were apparent only in Ontario, with students in the French-language school system scoring lower than those in English-language schools.
