KLEIN, Ruben. Uma re-análise dos resultados do PISA: problemas de comparabilidade. Ensaio: aval. pol. públ. educ. [online]. 2011, vol.19, n.73, pp.717-741. ISSN 0104-4036.

This article looked at a problem of comparability of PISA results in some countries, in various years and between countries. This problem occurs because the school age of each country is not considered and because there is no rule for the date the test is held in relation to the school year of each country. The changing of the date of testing in a country modifies the composition of the student body among the different grades, making the universes incomparable. The Brazilian case was looked at in detail and it was shown that the 2000 and 2009 universes are not comparable. Some other countries were also analyzed, including Luxemburg and Chile, which together with Brazil, were highlighted as having made the greatest progress in performance since 2000. In Luxemburg there was no improvement in performance between 2003 and 2009, while the reason why the results of 2000 and 2003 are so different needs to be investigated. Chile improved its performance, but probably not as much as was highlighted.
