CY7_201604_QST_FT_SCQ_CBA_NoNotes
Dear school administrator,
Thank you for participating in this study. This questionnaire asks for information about:
 School background information
 School management
 Teaching staff
 Assessment and evaluation
 Targeted groups
 School climate
This information will help illustrate the similarities and differences between groups of
schools in order to better establish the context for students’ test results. For example, the
information provided may help to establish what effect the availability of resources may
have on student achievement – both within and between countries.
The questionnaire should be completed by the principal or designate. It should take
about 60 minutes to complete.
For some questions specific expertise may be needed. You may consult experts to
help you answer these questions.
If you do not know an answer precisely, your best estimate will be adequate for the
purpose of the study.
Please note that the forward button used to proceed to the next question is located at the
bottom right hand corner of your screen. In some instances you may need to scroll down
to the bottom of your screen to access this forward button.
Your answers will be combined with answers from other principals to calculate totals
and averages. All information (or responses) you provide may only be used for
statistical purposes and may not be disclosed, or used, in identifiable form for any other
purpose except as required by law [Education Science Reform Act of 2002 (ESRA
2002), 20 U.S. Code, Section 9573].
According to the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995, no persons are required to respond
to a collection of information unless such collection displays a valid OMB control
number. The valid OMB control number for this voluntary survey is 1850-0755. The
time required to complete this survey is estimated to average 60 minutes per response,
including the time to review instructions, search existing data resources, gather the
data needed, and complete and review the survey. If you have any comments concerning
the accuracy of the time estimate, suggestions for improving this survey, or any
comments or concerns regarding the status of your individual submission of this survey,
please write to: Program for International Student Assessment (PISA), National Center
for Education Statistics, Potomac Center Plaza, 550 12th Street, SW, Washington, DC
20202.
OMB No. 1850-0755, Approval Expires 09/30/2019.

Test Language Teacher Questionnaire

Dear teacher of English/Language arts
Thank you for participating in this study.
This questionnaire asks for information about:


Background information



Your initial education and professional development



Your collaboration with teachers and parents



Teacher beliefs and attitudes



Teaching practices



Your school

This information will help illustrate the similarities and differences between groups of
teachers in order to better establish the context for students’ test results. For example, the
information provided may help to establish what effect the availability of resources may have
on student achievement – both within and between countries.
The questionnaire should be completed by you only. It should take about 45 minutes to
complete.
If you do not know an answer precisely, your best estimate will be adequate for the purposes
of the study.
Please note that the forward button used to proceed to the next question is located at the
bottom right hand corner of your screen. In some instances you may need to scroll down to the
bottom of your screen to access this forward button.
Your answers will be combined with answers from other teachers to calculate totals and
averages. All information (or responses) you provide may only be used for statistical purposes
and may not be disclosed, or used, in identifiable form for any other purpose except as
required by law [Education Science Reform Act of 2002 (ESRA 2002), 20 U.S. Code, Section
9573].
According to the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995, no persons are required to respond to a
collection of information unless such collection displays a valid OMB control number. The
valid OMB control number for this voluntary survey is 1850-0755. The time required to
complete this survey is estimated to average 45 minutes per response, including the time to
review instructions, search existing data resources, gather the data needed, and complete and
review the survey. If you have any comments concerning the accuracy of the time estimate,
suggestions for improving this survey, or any comments or concerns regarding the status of
your individual submission of this survey, please write to: Program for International Student
Assessment (PISA), National Center for Education Statistics, Potomac Center Plaza, 550 12th

GENERAL TEACHER QUESTIONNAIRE
Dear teacher
Thank you for participating in this study.
This questionnaire asks for information about:


Background information



Your initial education and professional development



Your collaboration with teachers and parents



Teacher beliefs and attitudes



Teaching practices



Your school

This information will help illustrate the similarities and differences between groups of
teachers in order to better establish the context for students’ test results. For example, the
information provided may help to establish what effect the availability of resources may have
on student achievement – both within and between countries.
The questionnaire should be completed by you only. It should take about 45 minutes to
complete.
If you do not know an answer precisely, your best estimate will be adequate for the purposes
of the study.
Please note that the forward button used to proceed to the next question is located at the
bottom right hand corner of your screen. In some instances you may need to scroll down to the
bottom of your screen to access this forward button.
Your answers will be combined with answers from other teachers to calculate totals and
averages. All information (or responses) you provide may only be used for statistical purposes
and may not be disclosed, or used, in identifiable form for any other purpose except as
required by law [Education Science Reform Act of 2002 (ESRA 2002), 20 U.S. Code, Section
9573].
According to the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995, no persons are required to respond to a
collection of information unless such collection displays a valid OMB control number. The
valid OMB control number for this voluntary survey is 1850-0755. The time required to
complete this survey is estimated to average 45 minutes per response, including the time to
review instructions, search existing data resources, gather the data needed, and complete and
review the survey. If you have any comments concerning the accuracy of the time estimate,
suggestions for improving this survey, or any comments or concerns regarding the status of
your individual submission of this survey, please write to: Program for International Student
Assessment (PISA), National Center for Education Statistics, Potomac Center Plaza, 550 12th
Street, SW, Washington, DC 20202.

Introduction for reading metacognition
YOUR STRATEGIES IN READING AND UNDERSTANDING TEXTS
There are several strategies to read texts. Some of them are more useful or
appropriate than others, depending on the kind of reading task. The next
questions present three different reading tasks, followed by a list of “strategies”.
We want to know your opinion about the usefulness of these strategies for the
different reading tasks.
Think about the usefulness of each of the strategies in relation to the given
reading task only. Some strategies may be useful for one reading task but not for
another.
Give a score between 1 and 6 to every strategy. A score of 1 means you think it is
not a useful strategy at all for this reading task. A score of 6 means you think it is
a very useful strategy for this reading task.
You can use the same score more than once if you think two or more strategies
are similarly useful, but please select only one response in each row.

Introduction
The next question is about your experience with different kinds of problems you
may have encountered at school in the last 12 months. Please only read these
problems, do not answer them.
Problem no. 1:
Ann is on holiday in a country called Farway, but she normally lives in Zedland. The unit of
currency in Zedland is the ZED. The unit of currency in Farway is the FAD. At the time of the
holiday the exchange rate was 1 ZED = 25 FAD.
Ann needs 200 FAD to buy some food. If she exchanges some of her ZEDs, the exchange bureau
will apply a 3% commission. If she withdraws FADs from an ATM in Farway her bank will
charge her a fixed 2 ZEDs fee.
Should Ann exchange her ZEDs or withdraw FADs from an ATM?
Problem no. 2:
Tom is talking with his grandmother and they are comparing the price of ice-creams now and
when his grandmother was his age. They noted that the purchasing power of money is usually
decreasing over time, meaning that, all else being equal, inflation decreases the amount of goods
or services that you can purchase over time. Discuss some examples of how inflation affects you
or your family.
