PISA Vocational Education and Training (VET)
Assessment and Analytical Framework
This report presents the conceptual foundations of the OECD Programme for International
Student Assessment (PISA) Vocational Education and Training (VET), currently in the
Development Phase of implementation which aims to provide a comprehensive and rigorous
international survey of student knowledge and skills that are essential for success
in selected occupational areas. The PISA-VET assessment covers professional knowledge
and skills in five occupational areas (automotive technician, business and administration,
electrician, nursing/healthcare assistant and hotel receptionist), plus an evaluation
of learners’ employability skills, including literacy, problem solving, task performance
(conscientiousness) and collaboration with others. This publication includes the frameworks
for assessing all the knowledge and skills included in the assessment. These chapters
outline the content knowledge and skills that learners need to acquire in each domain,
how each domain is assessed, and the contexts in which this knowledge and these skills
are applied. The publication also presents the frameworks for the various questionnaires
distributed to students, principals of VET institutions, teachers and trainers, including
a questionnaire for trainers in work-based learning environments and a system level
data questionnaire for participating countries. The questionnaires are also included
as an annex to the publication.
