| Summary |
This report documents the initial step towards an electronically-delivered Program for International Student Assessment (PISA) test pioneered by Denmark, Iceland and Korea. In 2006, the PISA assessment of science included for the first time a computer-based test. The publication describes how the survey was administered, presents 15-year-olds' achievement scores in science and explains the impact of information communication technologies on both males' and females' science skills. The evidence shows that, overall, males are more confident and use computers more frequently. While females tend to use the Internet more for social networking activities, males tend to browse the Internet, play games and download software. In general, there were no group differences across test methods but students enjoyed the computer-based test more than the paper-and-pencil test.--Publisher's description |
