Five questions to ask if you think teaching problem-solving works. By John Sweller

Every few decades there is a campaign to include general problem-solving and thinking skills in school curricula. The motivation is understandable. Everyone would like our schools to enhance students’ critical thinking and problem-solving skills. Because it is so obviously important for students to have such skills, these campaigns are frequently successful in including thinking and

WHAT MAKES ESTONIA SO GOOD AT PISA? Pre-opening of the LESE – Lisbon Economics and Statistics and Education Conference at ISEG.

The pre-opening of the 2022 LESE – Lisbon Economics and Statistics of Education conference will take place on the 19th of January. The keynote speaker at the event is Gunda Tire (the manager of the PISA project in Estonia). The PISA is an OECD initiative for international student assessment, which measures the ability of young people to apply their knowledge of reading,

Assessment Background: What PISA Measures and How

/

Luísa Araújo, Patrícia Costa and Nuno Crato

November, 2020

This chapter provides a short description of what the Programme for
International Student Assessment (PISA) measures and how it measures it. First, it details the concepts associated with the measurement of student performance and the concepts associated with capturing student and school characteristics and explains how they compare with some other International Large-Scale Assessments (ILSA). Second, it provides information on the assessment of reading, the main domain in PISA 2018. Third, it provides information on the technical aspects of the measurements in PISA. Lastly, it offers specific examples of PISA 2018 cognitive items, corresponding domains (mathematics, science, and reading), and related
performance levels.

Tests for comparing time series of unequal lengths

/

Journal of Statistical Computation and Simulation, Maio 2011.

Jorge Caiado, Nuno Crato and Daniel Peña.

This paper deals with hypothesis testing for independent time series with unequal length. It proposes a spectral test based on the distance between the periodogram ordinates and a parametric test based on the distance between the parameter estimates of fitted autoregressive moving average models. Both tests are compared with a likelihood ratio test based on the pooled spectra. In all cases, the null hypothesis is that the two series under consideration are generated by the same stochastic process. The performance of the three tests is investigated by a Monte Carlo simulation study.
