Student Engagement at School A Sense of Belonging and Participation, Results from Pisa 2000

The OECD Programme for International Student Assessment (PISA) provides an opportunity to study information on student attitudes, values and social backgrounds and levels of student involvement and participation in school systems, within an internationally comparative framework as students approach the end of compulsory schooling. The report's findings indicate that the prevalence of disaffected students varies considerably both within and among schools in most countries, and that this variation is not attributable solely to students' family backgrounds. It also identifies some key factors which help promote student engagement and provides evidence that achieving strong student engagement at school does not have to be at the expense of academic performance.Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development Staff is the author of 'Student Engagement at School A Sense of Belonging and Participation, Results from Pisa 2000', published 2003 under ISBN 9789264018921 and ISBN 9264018921.
