The Program for International Student Assessments (PISA) is an international assessment of 15-year-olds which
focuses on assessing students’ reading, mathematics, and science literacy. PISA was first administered in 2000 and is
conducted every three years. The United States has participated in all of the previous cycles, and will participate in 2018
in order to track trends and to compare the performance of U.S. students with that of students in other education
systems. PISA 2018 is sponsored by the Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development (OECD). In the
United States, PISA is conducted by the National Center for Education Statistics (NCES), within the U.S. Department of
Education. In each administration of PISA, one of the subject areas (reading, mathematics, or science literacy) is the
major domain and has the broadest content coverage, while the other two subjects are the minor domains. PISA
emphasizes functional skills that students have acquired as they near the end of mandatory schooling (aged 15 years),
and students’ knowledge and skills gained both in and out of school environments. PISA 2018 will focus on reading
literacy as the major domain. Mathematics and science literacy will also be assessed as minor domains, with additional
assessments of global competence and financial literacy. In addition to the cognitive assessments described above,
PISA 2018 will include questionnaires administered to assessed students, school principals, and teachers. The PISA
2018 Recruitment and Field Test were originally approved in September 2016 with a change request approved in
October 2016 (1850-0755 v.18-19). The PISA 2018 field test was conducted in March-April 2017. The PISA 2018 main
study data collection is scheduled for September-November 2018. Recruitment for the PISA 2018 main study is
scheduled to begin by October 2017. This request provides the final plans, burden, and materials the PISA 2018 main
study recruitment.
