This document provides guidance for educators on measuring 21st century skills. It discusses the challenges educators face in teaching and assessing these important skills that students need to succeed. There are many potential assessment tools to choose from, and educators must determine which tools are most effective for assessing complex skills. The document advises starting with understanding the purpose of the assessment and considering factors like costs, local context, and unintended consequences when selecting tools. With a thoughtful, strategic approach, educators can choose assessments that best fit their needs.

The following figure illustrates Task 2:
PISA 2015 Unit name: The Aquarium
Task 3 of 7
Time remaining: 13 minutes
Control panel
?
Abby’s control panel
CHAT
Water type:
Fresh
Sea
Food type:
Dry
Food blocks
Scenery:
Rocky
Plants
Fish:

Lightning:
You and Abby have 5 trials to find the best
conditions for the fish to live in the aquarium.
Low
High
Temperature:
Low
High
Tryout conditions
Its not great. What should we do
now?
Abby
Let’s change the temperature
You
Wait. I’m not sure that this is the
right strategy
Abby
o Why do you think that?
o Let’s change the
scenery
o I know that this is the right thing to do
You
Results
Bad
OK
Results: these conditions are suitable, but they can be better.
Great
Task 3: Monitoring and repairing the shared understanding
Activity
Item 1: TT implements the plan as discussed with Abby. TT monitors if Abby followed the plan as
discussed. Abby’s controls show that she is following the plan.
Item 2: TT shares his/her understanding of the result (fish conditions).
Item 3: TT repairs Abby’s misunderstanding of the result.
Item 4: TT has to offer a plan of how to proceed (e.g. "let’s change this variable to start"). If the TT doesn’t
offer an idea then Abby can prompt. If still no idea is offered then Abby will suggest an idea herself.
Item 5: TT asks Abby for her point of view before implementing the plan. If the TT doesn’t then Abby
shares her perspective with the TT.
Convergence
There is a change in the aquarium variables. The results of the trial are presented.
