.PISA tests fifteen-year-olds on three subjects - reading, math, and science - every three years. It also collects a wealth of background information from students, including their attitudes toward school and learning. When the 2012 PISA results were released, PISA analysts published an accompanying volume, Ready to Learn: Students' Engagement, Drive, and Self-Beliefs, exploring topics related to student engagement.Part three provides secondary analysis of several dimensions of engagement found in the PISA report. Intrinsic motivation, the internal rewards that encourage students to learn, is an important component of student engagement. National scores on PISA?s index of intrinsic motivation to learn mathematics are compared to national PISA math scores. Surprisingly, the relationship is negative. Countries with highly motivated kids tend to score lower on the math test; conversely, higher-scoring nations tend to have less-motivated kids.', WIDTH, 400);" onmouseout="return nd();">2015 Brown Center Report on American Education: How Well Are American Students Learning?
