The pisa report in spain, a comparative analysis (2000-2022). Scores in reading and mathematics

Abstract

This study conducts a comparative analysis of scores in Reading and Mathematics in Spain within the framework of the OECD’s Programme for International Student Assessment (PISA), covering the assessment cycles from the year 2000 to 2022. Through a statistical analysis methodology, the evolution of scores in both competencies and the correlation rates between them are examined. The results indicate a moderate positive correlation between reading and mathematical skills, suggesting the presence of common factors influencing performance in these areas. Furthermore, a more significant variability in Reading scores compared to Mathematics is observed, pointing to the influence of reading comprehension on overall academic performance. These findings underscore the importance of strengthening reading competence and the need for integrative strategies that promote effective reading skills across all areas of knowledge.
