Abstract

This study examines the feasibility of reporting scores of a test based on the Programme for International Student Assessment (PISA) 2000 instrument that was administered to a sample of 25-year-old Youth in Transition Survey (YITS) respondents on the PISA scale. Each of these respondents also participated in PISA 2000. The study examines the considerations for estimating proficiency estimates for the YITS 2010 sample and describes the methods recommended for analyzing the data. The results indicate that, despite much higher performance, there is no ceiling effect in the YITS 2010 sample for the PISA items. Although the estimated scores for the YITS 2010 sample should not be misconstrued as true =PISA results,‘ there is no technical impediment to reporting them on the PISA scale and examining the differences between these results and the PISA 2000 results. La présente étude examine la possibilité de rapporter sur l‘échelle PISA les scores d‘un test basé sur les items du cycle 2000 du Programme international pour le suivi des acquis des élèves (PISA) et administré à un échantillon de jeunes de 25 ans participant à l‘Enquête auprès des jeunes en transition (EJET). Chacun de ces participants avait auparavant pris part à l‘enquête PISA 2000. Cette étude examine les possibilités d‘estimation du niveau de compétence de l‘échantillon du cycle 2010 de l‘EJET et décrit les méthodes recommandées pour l‘analyse des données. Les résultats indiquent que, en dépit d‘un niveau de performance bien plus élevé, il n‘existe pas d‘effet de plafonnement pour les items PISA dans l‘échantillon du cycle 2010 de l‘EJET. Bien que les scores estimés pour l‘échantillon du cycle 2010 de l‘EJET ne doivent pas être interprétés à tort comme de véritables « résultats du PISA », il n‘existe pas d‘obstacle technique à les rapporter sur l‘échelle PISA et à les examiner en regard de ceux du cycle 2000 de l‘enquête PISA.
