(一起報告的國家有Canada, Sweden, Germany, and Taiwan)。我的報告內容如下。●On national report.We ask our PISA NPM to make a national report on PISA 2006 in Chinese. The national report is mainly based on the international report but it is not a small booklet of international report. We like to address some more issues which our society likes to see. It would contain some comparisons between Taiwan and some other Asian countires, like Japan, Korea, HK and Macau. ●On press conference.We also like to have a press conference immediately after OECD PISA release. In the press conference, we will present not only PISA data but also a research data coming with PISA administration. We will provide a comparison between students of 15 years old and of 16 years old, because we have a curriculum reform between these two groups of students. Our society would like to see the effect of the new curriculum.●On regional exchange and cooperation.We also like to conduct a number of seminars focusing on our scores in reading comprehension. Our students are not bad in science and mathematics, but not so good in reading comprehension. We already know HK is very good at reading comprehension, science and mathematics as well. We have invited some HK colleagues to hold seminars on reading comprehension. The audience will be educators and teachers of high schools. In the workshop, we like to compare the difference of curriculum framework of language between Taiwan and HK.●On database on website.We will also put PISA data together with some other international survey like TIMSS in a website. This website is open to academic community. Researchers are encouraged to conduct research projects using these data.3.PISA Strategic Development Group (SDG)報告PISA原是OECD會員國(稱member country)所發起的國際調查，但近年非OECD國家(稱partner country)陸續加入，產生不少權益分工問題。SDG提出一份報告，但非OECD國家並非滿意，於是再第二天聚會討論，希望能有一些具體的措施能讓非OECD國家擴大參與PISA的規劃、執行與尤其是經費。4.Regional exchange and cooperationPISA 是一個國際調查，但是調查結果常因為必須全球呈現資料，有時很難針對特定地區或國家的情境與需要。會議中了解，北歐國家與西班牙文使用國家都有地區的合作與交換經驗。類似像IEA ICCS已經開始籌畫亞洲模組，PISA的內容包括數學、科學與閱讀，資料更為豐富，結合亞洲國家一起分享經驗應該可以鼓勵。港澳代表也積極希望成立華人的研究圈，此次中國也以上海地區加入PISA 2009施測。中國其實委請香港代為施測 PISA 2006於上海、北京與山東。 5.Meeting on PISA in nations and regions: 13-14 December in Trento, Italy.這個會議可以考慮請花蓮教育大學與台南大學各派一個人去參加，報告台灣的PISA成績。6.2008 PISA meetings7-9 April 25th meeting of the PISA PGB 地點未定29 Sep-3 Oct PISA 2009 NPM 地點未定29-31 Oct or 3-5 Nov 26th meeting of the PISA PGB地點未定7.邀請PISA 秘書長Andreas Schleicher ([email protected]) 來台參加國民素養計畫研討會陽明大學洪裕宏教授將在明年春天舉辦有關國民素養計畫研討會，行前林福來教授已經寫信給Andreas，在會議場再確定。後續聯絡將由洪教授負責。
