The OECD’s Programme of International Student Assessment (PISA) is an international test of reading, mathematics, and science. Administered to 15-year-olds every three years, the PISA is designed to gauge how well students around the world have mastered these key subjects during their schooling thus far. Notice the high scores of Chinese students compared to the relatively low scores of U.S. students. Experts believe that students in the United States are not strongly motivated to learn—so they don’t.
Congratulations! You have completed this activity.
