• PISA 2009: Reading to Learn: New Zealand 15-year-olds' reading habits, learning approaches and experiences of teaching practices

  

  This report investigates the reading habits and learning approaches examined in PISA 2009, with a focus on gender and a particular emphasis on boys. It also briefly examines the attitudes of 15-year-olds' parents/whānau to reading, and their (or someone else in the home's) involvement in literacy-related activities with the child during their first year of schooling and when they are 15-years-old. Teaching practices used in the students' English classes, student-teacher relationships and the disciplinary climate in the classroom are also examined.

• PISA 2009: Digital readers at age 15: Results from the PISA 2009 Electronic Reading Assessment

  

  The Electronic Reading Assessment is a new and innovative component of PISA that acknowledges the increasing relevance of electronic text and recognises its importance as a feature of reading. Those students who took part in the Electronic Reading Assessment (ERA) were given a 10 minute practice session and then asked to complete a 40 minute computer based assessment. The texts used in this assessment were hypertexts. Hypertexts are where the user has navigation tools and features that allow them to move through pages of text freely in numerous ways.
