Dear ,
Thank you for participating in this study. This questionnaire asks for information about:
•
•
•
•
•
•

School background information
School management
Teaching staff
Assessment and evaluation
Targeted groups
School climate

This information will help illustrate the similarities and differences between groups of schools in
order to better establish the context for students’ test results. For example, the information
provided may help to establish what effect the availability of resources may have on student
achievement – both within and between countries.
The questionnaire should be completed by the principal or designate. It should take about 45
minutes to complete.
For some questions specific expertise may be needed. You may consult experts to help you
answer these questions.
If you do not know an answer precisely, your best estimate will be adequate for the purpose of
the study.
Please note that the forward button used to proceed to the next question is located at the bottom
right hand corner of your screen. In some instances you may need to scroll down to the bottom of
your screen to access this forward button.
Your answers will be kept confidential. They will be combined with answers from other
principals to calculate totals and averages in which no school can be identified.

their education.
"Socioeconomically disadvantaged homes" refers to homes lacking the basic necessities
of life, such as adequate housing, nutrition or medical care.
"Students who are immigrants" are those who were born outside the country with a
citizenship of a different country.
"Students who have parents who have immigrated" are those who have at least one
parent who was born outside the country with a citizenship of a different country.
"Refugees" are those who, regardless of legal status, fled to another country seeking
refuge from war, political oppression, religious persecution, or a natural disaster.

Different classes include different content
or sets of science topics that have different
levels of difficulty (e.g., physics, chemistry

In science classes, teachers use pedagogy
suitable for students with mixed abilities
(i.e. students are not grouped by ability).

Question notes: The parent/guardian terminology is used in PISA to capture modern living
arrangements that do not conform with the mother/father dualism (eg, having same-sex
parents), but also that consider living in extended families (eg, with grandparents) where
other people may have a role in taking care and raising the student (eg, siblings of adult age,
grandparents) and, therefore, influence her or his laerning environment.

Question notes: In response to stakeholder feedback, we have proposed the modification of
the response options. We have added “I attended  but do not remember when I
started”, "I do not know if I attended ". We believe this will address the information
required to dissagregate the information, but it does introduce a higher reading load.

The questionnaire framework includes this note:
Question for Core 1: In PISA 2018 there were issues in the design of the question of attendance
of ISCED 0: response categories “I didn’t attend” and “I don’t remember” were conflated. This
made it impossible to measure trends. Can we separate into 2 items: i) Did you attend ISCED 0
(yes/no), ii) For how long did you attend ISCED 0? (I don’t remember)? Or go back to previous
way of asking?

Imagine a 10-point scale that represents how much effort you invest
in something.
The highest value (10) marks a situation where you tried your very
best and put as much effort as possible to do well.
The lowest value (1) marks a situation where you did not try hard at
all and put the lowest possible effort to do well.
Now think about the effort you put into completing the
PISA test and questionnaire.
