Abstract

This paper describes key aspects of the frameworks for the assessment of adult numeracy and mathematical literacy in PIAAC and PISA, which are OECD two flagship programs for international comparative assessment of competencies. The paper examines commonalities and differences in how the constructs of adult numeracy and mathematical literacy were assessed in PIAAC and PISA, and sketches selected challenges associated with interpretation of results from these surveys. Ce document décrit les principaux aspects des cadres d'évaluation de la numératie des adultes et de la culture mathématique dans PIAAC et PISA, deux programmes phares de l'OCDE pour l'évaluation comparative internationale des compétences. Le document examine les points communs et les différences dans la façon dont les concepts de numératie des adultes et de la culture mathématique ont été évalués dans PISA et PIAAC, et esquisse quelques défis associés à l'interprétation des résultats de ces enquêtes.
