ABSTRACT

The OECD’s PISA exercise has by now been widely critiqued. Whilst we agree with most concerns, we begin with the assumption that PISA will remain an enduring and powerful feature of the global educational landscape. Even if the PISA test itself were discontinued, a similar large-scale quantitative assessment exercise would soon arise to take its place. As such, we focus herein on strategies for rearticulating ILSAs such as PISA: the creative use of data to shift the exercise away from dissemination of one dominant worldview towards the recognition of alternatives. To do this, we discuss the approach and findings from our recent papers, and then suggest future directions. Rather than mere accommodation, re-articulation underscores an approach to critique that is generative for theory and practice, one that extends of the horizon of possibility beyond culturally saturated notions of ‘good’ education.

摘要

迄今为止，经合组织的PISA行动受到了广泛的批评。尽管我们同意大多数关注的观点，但我们首先假设PISA仍将是全球教育格局中持久且强大的特征。即使PISA测试本身已中止，类似的大规模定量评估活动也将很快取代它。因此，我们在此集中于重新构建ILSA（例如PISA）的策略：创造性地利用数据将演习从传播一种主导的世界观转向认可替代方案。为此，我们讨论了最新论文的方法和发现，然后提出了未来的方向。重新表达不仅是简单的调和，更着重于一种批判性的方法，这种方法对于理论和实践都是产生性的，
