South Tyrolean PISA results

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The Autonomous Province of Bolzano - South Tyrol took part in the PISA study for the first time in 2003 and aimed for its own regional partial result as an adjudicated region . The evaluation was carried out by the INVALSI in Frascati, which was part of the Italian Ministry of Education (then: Ministero della Pubblica Istruzione) . The results were presented in Appendix B of the international report and in a separate report for the school in South Tyrol, which INVALSI prepared.

The result of the PISA test far exceeded the expectations of the responsible authorities. Even before the PISA results were published, the Bolzano Education Authority had pointed out the limited informative value of the PISA study. In 2003, South Tyrol even beat the PISA world champion Finland in some areas. However, the sample did not include any young people who had already left school after completing the nine years of compulsory schooling, and other doubts were expressed about the methodology of the study.

South Tyrolean result 2006

The schools in South Tyrol again achieved good results in the 2006 PISA study. This time, the introduction of compulsory education up to the age of 18 in Italy made the sample more representative. The influence of the socio-economic background of the students on student performance seemed to be less pronounced than in most other countries, which can be explained by the general prosperity in South Tyrol.

The reading results (490) were roughly in line with the OECD average, but were 12 points lower than in 2006. It was particularly noteworthy that in the German school in South Tyrol only 15.9% of the students were at competence level 1 or below and so that the target of the EU of 15% was almost reached. It was also noticeable that the difference between girls and boys was greater than in most other regions and states. The results in mathematics (519 in the German school) and in the natural sciences (513) were well above the OECD average.

South Tyrolean result 2012

In 2012, German schools were able to improve their results in the areas of reading competence (503) and basic science education (530) compared to 2009, in mathematics by one point. The results in all areas were thus well above the OECD average. In mathematics, only 15.4% of the students in the German school were at proficiency level 1 or below, which almost reached the 15% target of the EU. Reading skills fell below this value: it was 13.2%. For the first time, some of the test participants were also asked about their competencies in “financial literacy” (basic education in the financial sector). It was also new that a computer-based test in digital reading, problem solving and mathematics was carried out at eleven schools in German as the language of instruction.
