Abstract

The results of large-scale assessments are central to the educational policies of all countries, especially when they express about student learning. This paper, of documental basis, aims to analyze the indicators of the countries of the Organization of Ibero-American States for Education, Science and Culture (OEI) in the 2012, 2015 and 2018 editions of the International Student Assessment Program (Pisa), as well as to present and compare its historical evolution in relation to the main exponents of the program. The results obtained show that the OEI countries evaluated by Pisa in 2012, 2015 and 2018 can be classified into two groups: the first, formed by Portugal and Spain, occupies and maintains, in the three editions, an intermediate position among all the countries evaluated, with scores, in the three domains evaluated - Reading, Science, Mathematics, of a maximum of 500 points. The second group, formed by the other OEI countries, occupies and alternates, in the three editions, the last twenty positions among all the countries evaluated, with a score, in the three domains evaluated, of a maximum of 475 points. Regardless of the group, the OEI countries presented in 2018 a greater distance from the other countries evaluated compared to 2012.
