The Program for International Student Assessments (PISA) is an international assessment of 15-year-olds which
focuses on assessing students’ reading, mathematics, and science literacy. PISA was first administered in 2000 and is
conducted every three years. The United States has participated in all of the previous cycles and is participating in 2021
in order to track trends and to compare the performance of U.S. students with that of students in other education
systems. PISA 2021 is sponsored by the Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development (OECD). In the
United States, PISA is conducted by the National Center for Education Statistics (NCES), within the U.S. Department of
Education. In each administration of PISA, one of the subject areas (reading, mathematics, or science literacy) is the
major domain and has the broadest content coverage, while the other two subjects are the minor domains. PISA
emphasizes functional skills that students have acquired as they near the end of mandatory schooling (aged 15 years),
and students’ knowledge and skills gained both in and out of school environments. PISA 2021 will focus on mathematics
literacy as the major domain. Reading and science literacy will also be assessed as minor domains, with additional
assessment of financial literacy. In addition to the cognitive assessments described above, PISA 2021 will include
questionnaires administered to school principals and assessed students. To prepare for the main study in 2021, PISA
countries will conduct a field test in the spring of 2020, primarily to evaluate newly developed assessment and
questionnaire items but also to test the assessment operations. The PISA 2021 field test will be conducted in April-May
2020. The PISA 2021 main study recruitment will begin in October 2020 and data collection will be conducted OctoberNovember 2021. The request to conduct PISA 2021 main study recruitment and field test and was approved in
December 2019 (OMB# 1850-0755 v.23). This change request: (1) makes small edits and replaces outdated
screenshots of the MyPISA project website with screenshots of the MyPISA system that is now ready for the Field Test
data collection, scheduled to begin in Spring 2020; (2) replaces the 2018 PISA Main Study video with the 2021 PISA
Field Test Video; and (3) updates the package to remove all references to this change request.
