This volume offers a critical examination of the Programme for International Students Assessment (PISA), focusing on its origins and implementation, relationship to other international large-scale assessments, and its impacts on educational policy and reform at national and cross-national levels.Using empirical data gathered from a research project carried out by the CeiED at Lusofona University, Lisbon, the text highlights connections between PISA and emergent issues including the international circulation of big science, expertise and policy, and identifies its conceptual and methodological limits as a global governance project. The volume ultimately provides a novel framework for understanding how OECD priorities are manifested through a regulatory instrument based on Human and Knowledge Capital Theory, and so makes a powerful case to search for new humanistic approaches.This text will benefit researchers, academics and educators with an interest in education policy and politics, international and comparative education, and the sociology of education more broadly. Those interested in the history of education will also benefit from this volume.

"If different books have been published in recent years about the Program for International Student Assessment (PISA), the book edited by António Teodoro singles itself out as the first to offer a resolutely polemical look at the evaluation piloted by the Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development (OECD) which has gradually established itself as a reference in terms of school comparison. The interest of the critical approach to PISA developed in this work is redoubled by the fact that it refers to work carried out within the framework of an important research project which specifically questioned the "success" of PISA […]. By approaching PISA from different angles of critical study, the book allows for an in-depth discussion of important questions raised by this assessment, not only at the scientific level, but also at the educational, political and social levels." - Daniel Bart, In Spirale - Journal of research in education
