The Programme for the International Assessment of Adult Competencies (PIAAC) is an international assessment of adult skills managed by the OECD. Implemented by 25 countries in Europe, the Americas and Asia, PIAAC is compiling one of the richest sources of data regarding the skills that adults use in their work, home and communities, and related information, including family background, education, employment, income, civic participation and health. In general, assessment frameworks provide an agreed definition of what should be measured and guide the construction and interpretation of tasks included in the survey. For PIAAC, this means determining the definition of such key concepts as "literacy", "numeracy" and "problem-solving in technology-rich environments". This report maps the development of the Programme, from determining what should be measured, to defining the meaning of PIAAC's three core domains, "literacy", "numeracy" and "problem solving in technology-rich environments", to designing assessment tasks and determining how those tasks will be interpreted. It summarises the draft frameworks, developed by dedicated experts, for each of the assessment domains, and includes examples of the items and stimuli used to measure proficiency in the three domains. In essence, it provides an overview and a look at the underpinnings of PIAAC. [résumé éditeur]
