Contribution
The topic of this paper is how to create feedback reports to schools based on PISA 2009 data in a way that supports the schools in improving the quality of learning and teaching. The key question is how to estimate an expected achievement score per school based on an ESCS school index, which can be compared to the school average achievement. PISA 2009 in Serbia involved about 5,000 students from 184 secondary schools. Since the data collected through the PISA two-stage sampling is nested, the expected average school achievement scores were estimated with Hierarchical Linear Modelling (Raudenbush & Bryk, 2001). The PISA index ESCS (economic, social, and cultural status of students) was used for adjusting the average school achievement. The expected achievement scores were estimated for the three competencies tested: reading, mathematics, and science literacy. These expected achievement scores were included in the PISA school reports in Serbia, besides the average achievement of the respective school, the national average score, and the OECD average score. The estimates of expected school average achievement aim to provide schools with a reference which can be instrumental in evaluating their performance in view of the specific conditions under which the scores are achieved.
