Details

For PISA 2000–2012 the function uses the EdSurvey workflow (downloadPISA, readPISA) and converts the resulting file formats into a GADSdat object with zero rows but full metadata. For PISA 2015 and 2018 the function downloads a zip file from the OECD homepage into a temporary directory, unzips it and imports the data via read_sav or read.table.

For downloading full PISA data sets see the EdSurvey package.

Examples

oecd_pisa <- download_pisa_oecd(year = "2018",
                        data_type = "school_dat")
}
