| Abstract | Macao participated in PISA 2009 (OECD, 2009, 2010a-e, 2011). This report focuses on the following eight findings of the digital reading assessment making comparisons with the 19 participating economies. 1. Digital reading performance for 15-year-old students who are studying in secondary schools in Macao is far from satisfactory. More in-depth analyses are needed for informed policy-making. 2. The digital literacy performance gaps between the top performing countries (e.g. Korea, New Zealand, and Australia) and Macao are huge. There is a need to learn from these countries’ successful classroom practices. 3. There is an acute lack of students who perform at a high level in digital reading literacy. Curricular provision to facilitate the betterment of education for high-level digital reading proficiency in Macao schools is needed. 4. Macao females outperform males by 12.4 score points, and this gender gap is roughly half of that of the OECD average. Student engagement in digital reading with the aim of narrowing the gender gap deserves examination. 5. Lower digital reading proficiency level is associated with lower grade levels, and vice versa. Effects of grade repetition on digital reading performance for 15-year-old students in Macao need investigation. 6. Like the findings of the earlier cycles of PISA assessment, Macao is still one of the most equitable education systems in the world. Notwithstanding this, there are some signs of inequity at the between-school level that warrants scrutiny by the researchers. 7. Macao students have not utilized the digital reading assessment time well enough to answer the assigned tasks in the time available, resulting in a high percentage of “not reached” responses. More practice in online assessment may be necessary for the students. 8. Macao students do not feel competent to answer “reflect and evaluate” questions, especially those which are open-constructed response questions. More practices in assessment of higher order thinking skills may be required by the students. |
