Engagement in Reading: Lessons Learned from Three PISA Countries
Brozo, William G.; Shiel, Gerry; Topping, Keith
Journal of Adolescent & Adult Literacy, v51 n4 p304-315 Dec 2007
The Program for International Student Assessment (PISA) is a global effort to assess reading literacy. The authors of this article focus on the variable of engagement--the student characteristic on PISA that had the largest correlation with achievement in reading. Next, salient findings related to engagement from three English-speaking PISA countries (the United States, the United Kingdom, and Ireland) are presented. The authors conclude with a discussion of lessons about reading engagement derived from findings common to the authors' three nations with implications for policy and practice. (Contains 2 figures and 1 table.)
