Abstract

Large-scale international achievement studies such as PISA have been widely used to study how educational inequality compares across countries. Yet the various different biases that may affect these estimates are often not considered or are poorly understood. In this paper we draw upon the total survey error framework to provide a case study of the potential biases affecting estimates of the socio-economic achievement gaps using PISA data from Germany. The results illustrate how procedural and measurement errors have a substantial impact upon estimates of socio-economic achievement gradients in Germany, including how it compares with other countries. This leads us to conclude that estimates of socio-economic achievement gaps using the PISA data for Germany do not seem to be particularly robust. More generally, we argue that better articulation and reporting of such challenges with comparing socio-economic achievement gaps using large-scale international assessment data such as PISA are needed.

使用PISA数据的社会经济成就梯度有多强?一个来自德国的案例研究
大规模的国际成就研究,如PISA,已被广泛用于研究各国之间的教育不平等比较。然而,可能影响这些估计的各种不同的偏见往往没有被考虑或理解得很差。在本文中,我们利用总调查误差框架提供了一个案例研究,该研究使用来自德国的PISA数据,对影响社会经济成就差距估计的潜在偏差进行了研究。结果表明,程序和测量误差如何对德国社会经济成就梯度的估计产生重大影响,包括与其他国家的比较。这使我们得出结论,使用PISA数据对德国社会经济成就差距的估计似乎并不特别可靠。更一般地说,我们认为需要使用大规模的国际评估数据(如PISA)来比较社会经济成就差距,从而更好地表达和报告这些挑战。
