Mathematical reasoning and problem-solving in PISA 2022 – how do performance profiles vary across countries?

Conference item

In PISA 2022, a new process subdomain was introduced focused on mathematical reasoning. This process was seen as the core of the problem-solving process that typifies PISA mathematics assessments. The results of PISA 2022 suggest that students in some countries have relative strengths specifically in mathematical reasoning, relative to the other problem-solving processes, while in other countries, this is an area of relative weakness. In this paper, we explore whether distinctive country profiles can be identified based on relative differences in performance on the four subdomain processes using Latent Profile Analysis. The profiles identified offer further support for considering the role of cultural and language contexts when comparing performance in international education studies.
