Proficiency levels
Overview of PISA
• Proficiency Levels• PISA uses proficiency levels to indicate the type of skills
students are able to use at each level, for each cognitive domain.
• Level 1 is the lowest and level 6 is the highest proficiency level • Level 2 is considered the baseline level – Students at this level present a number of basic skills, which
will allow them to integrate and participate efficiently in the social and civic life.

Clarification
Test administration will be conducted by external personnel that will be hired and trained by the PISA 2015 Cyprus National Centre – not by
school staff.
School staff: Invigilators
PISA 2015 Cyprus National Centre
Equipment – Computers
The successful implementation of the survey relies heavily on school computers used to administer the test.
Computers need to be tested by means of a special software, in order to establish that they can run the test.
If a small additional number of computers is needed: use of laptops If a considerable additional number of computers is needed:
administration of the assessment on two days, rather than one
The cooperation of IT teachers is very important:– a) for the prompt testing of computers and the submission of
reliable data– b) for the smooth administration on the day of the assessment
PISA 2015 Cyprus National Centre
The School’s role and responsibilities
By 24th October 2014 the school must assign:a) School Coordinator

(Please refer to MOEC Circular: pvt185 2/9/14)
Computer skills/email.Teaching one of the subjects tested.Personal interest, Organizing skills.Good interpersonal skills.Not necessarily a deputy head.

Day of the assessment
Clear (…and strict) instructions to students with regards to the procedures and timing on the day of the assessment
Supervision by members of staff List of sampled students on the door of each room Strict (common) policy on: a) break time arrangements and b)
early completion of the test Use of mobile phones Providing supportive material (e.g. stationery, calculators,
literature books, magazines)

Day of the assessment
It is extremely important to achieve a high attendance / participation rate, on the day of the assessment
If too many students are absent on the day of the assessment this will result to:
a) organizing a follow-up test for the school,b) the removal of the school’s data from the country’s data file
Low participation rates cause serious problems, especially if they do not meet the technical standards of the Programme.

Using released material
Problems:
a) There is no released material available in the new electronic format of PISA 2015b) To date, there are no sample exercises of Cooperative Problem Solving (new domain)
However, using the released material is EXTREMELY useful, since it allows students to familiarize themselves with the content and the nature of PISA questions.
a) Teachers should use at least one exercise, per month, per subject, with their students.
b) Students should be encouraged to practice with the released material, in their free time.
