Project Description:

LeRoy will use data from the OECD Programme for International Student Assessment (PISA) to examine the equity, participation, accommodations and performance of students with special educational needs in this standardized assessment. The study will be divided into two phases. The first phase will use the most recent PISA results to examine the current status of students with special educational needs by country, student demography, and academic performance. Between-student and within-student group comparisons will be made on the impact of learner behaviors and economic, social and cultural status on access, participation, and performance. The second phase of the study will examine the policy issues related to the implementation of PISA for students with special educational needs, including equity, access, and accommodation considerations.
