PISA 2009 Results: Learning to learn. Student engagement, strategies, and practices

OECD, 2011.

The Program for International Student Assessment (PISA) is a major international study conducted across the OECD and with several partner countries every three years.  PISA includes a major assessment of 15-year olds in all participating countries, and collects background data on students, schools and systems to form the basis for policy recommendations.  PISA 2009 had a focus on reading.

This volume is a major international study of student motivation, engagement with reading, and students’ use of effective learning strategies.  There is also an analysis of how issues of gender and socio-economic status factors play out in students’ learning and across nations.
