(Congress Cancelled)

On May 14 and 15, 2020, the Lusófona University, in Lisbon, hosts the International Congress “A success story?PISA, large-scale assessment and educational change”. The event, organized by CeiED – Interdisciplinary Research Centre for Education and Development, is part of the activities of the research project funded by FCT – Foundation for Science and Technology (PTDC/CED-EDG /30084/2017).

The entire academic, educational, and potential interested community is invited to submit papers on one of the four thematic axes of the Congress, noting that the deadline for submission of a communication proposal and poster is March 31, 2020.

Theme and Thematic Axes

Major international studies, such as PISA (Programme for International Student Assessment), TIMSS (Trends in International Mathematics and Science Study), PIRLS (Progress in International Reading Literacy Study) or TALIS (Teaching and Learning International Survey), have become one of the main governance technologies in the fields of education and training, influencing policy makers, school managers and the media.

In line with the increase in the countries participating in these surveys, the number of organizations responsible for their operation, management and implementation has also grown and now includes an extensive network of public and private actors, including the OECD, IEA, SACMEQ, UNESCO, and the World Bank.

This dimension of global governance, in its role of international mediator of knowledge and articulated with the exercise of a particular type of regulation, has  been questioned by a vast international critical literature. Within this general framework, the Congress proposes the analysis and discussion of the theme of the international large-scale assessments in its linkage to the educational change.

Proposals for participation in the Congress must be framed in one of the following themes:

• Big Science, Big Data and the International Surveys on Education
• The influence of the surveys (PISA, TIMSS and PIRLS) on teacher education, examinations and school practices
• Literacy, PISA and Education Policy Regulation
• Media agenda and stakeholder discourse on PISA
