- 요약International large-scale assessments, including the International Program for Student Assessment (PISA), influence both educational policy and practice. Studies based on results from the 2015 survey described a negative relationship the frequency of inquiry-based science instruction and student scientific literacy scores. Based on this correlation, PISA's parent organization, the Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD), recommended that inquiry-based instructional practices be approached with caution. PISA's recommendation conflicts with numerous classroombased studies, which have found that inquiry-based instruction improves student learning. Furthermore, due to PISA's influence, articles for science teachers claiming that inquirybased instruction is ineffective now cite PISA results as supporting evidence. This dissertation uses data from PISA 2015 and student interviews to better understand the nature of this relationship.By closely examining the assumptions inherent in the primary analysis of PISA 2015 data using both quantitative and qualitative methodologies, this set of studies challenges PISA's claim about inquiry-based instructional practices. The analyses indicate at least four areas in which threats to validity warrant wariness about the PISA recommendation that inquiry-based practice may not be effective. First, analyses should account for the multidimensionality of the PISA enquiry-driven instruction index. Second, linear models may not accurately describe the relationship between studentreported frequencies of inquiry-based instruction and scientific literacy scores, so other models should be explored. Third, measurement invariance for students from different SES quartiles suggests that either the items or the efficacy of inquiry-based instruction vary for students from different groups and a more nuanced perspective is needed before developing recommendations. Finally, student interpretations of the items and response space require more study if we are to use the questionnaire responses to describe the activities students have in mind and their frequencies. Together, these findings suggest that the OCED recommendations about science instructional practices should be reconsidered. Alternative interpretive models and recommendations for practice are discussed.
