PISA 2021 Mathematics Framework
The assessment of mathematics has particular significance for PISA 2021, as mathematics is again the major domain assessed. Although mathematics was assessed by PISA in 2000, 2003, 2006, 2009, 2012, 2015 and 2018, the domain was the main area of focus only in 2003 and 2012.
The return of mathematics as the major domain in PISA 2021 provides both the opportunity to continue to make comparisons in student performance over time, and to re-examine what should be assessed in light of changes that have occurred in the world, the field and in instructional policies and practices.
