The Programme for International Student Assessment (PISA) is an important part of the OECD's Indicator Programme. It collects data and provides comparative indicators of education systems in OECD member and partner countries. PISA provides datasets of outstanding quality regarding samples, instruments and analyses. In addition to its important function for educational monitoring, the PISA datasets are the basis of a wide range of secondary analyses from a number of different scientific perspectives and disciplines. The aim of this book is to make some of the outstanding PISA related research results available for a wider audience. Specifically four research areas will be focused: (1) Content related research; (2) Methodological research; (3) Context related research; (4) Research on trends in PISA. Each part of the book is devoted to one of these areas and will start with an introduction from a leading expert in the field followed by chapters covering research conducted in this field.
It was never supposed to be painful and depressing. A stupid mistake she knows that. After all, Jude Murray was her boss, and falling in love with him wasn’t in her job description.

You made me look so small with all that whore you fuck inside your office while I was just a foot away from your door...you! You are a heartless asshole who didn’t even realized that I was hurting inside and that I was crying every time a woman went inside.” Saad niyang nagpapahid na ng luha. “... How could you?” Sigaw niyang dagdag habang ang luha ay nag uunahang pumatak, na para bagang ilog na dumadaloy na lamang ng walang katapusan.

It includes historical, economic, and policy perspectives, theoretical foundations, methodology, and reviews of findings from analyses of ILSA data. After decades, during which ILSAs have generated knowledge within central areas of education research and gained increased and substantial impact on educational policy, practice and research, such a broad overview for a wide-ranging audience is much needed. With contributions from authors and editors from all continents, this handbook appeals to an international audience and keeps a neut...
The OECD Programme for International Student Assessment (PISA) examines not just what students know in science, reading and mathematics, but what they can do with what they know. Results from PISA show educators and policy makers the quality and equity of learning outcomes achieved elsewhere.
In a snowy castle, far, far away from everyone, lives a girl. Her hair is as dark as the night sky, her skin is as white as snow, and her lips are as red as petals from a rose—and her life as enchanted as her violet-colored eyes.

Amid the danger this place holds, her only chance of safety lies in Prince Clyde, the only heir to the throne. What begins as only a fight for her freedom becomes a battle between the present and her past.
