Abstract (english): This study includes a fraction of the context assessment in the PISA 2015 field trial that covers topics of "Building More Effective Education Systems": The current focus on systemic reform in K-12 education in many countries around the globe began to develop in the early 2000s, in response to frustration with the low performance of some schools on the Programme for International Student Assessment (PISA) and other international assessments, compared to those in high performing countries, and also in response to widening socioeconomic achievement gaps. Researchers have identified the lack of incentives and support systems as the main culprits, and systemic change as the solution. This chapter summarizes the literature on three systemic reform areas: market-based, accountability, and decentralization reforms. It reviews the constructs that ideally would be assessed, as well as their degree of coverage in the PISA 2015 trial. The chapter concludes by discussing some implications and directions for constructs in future PISA cycles.
