New PISA results on creative thinking
Can students think outside the box?
For the first time ever, PISA measured the creative thinking skills of 15-year-old
students across the world. Alongside assessments in mathematics, science and reading,
students in 64 countries and economies sat an innovative test that assessed their
capacity to generate diverse and original ideas, as well as to evaluate and improve
upon others’ ideas in creative tasks. These ranged from written and visual expression
to scientific and social problem solving. This PISA in Focus highlights some of the
main findings from Volume III of PISA 2022. It focuses on the main factors linked
to students’ creative thinking performance, including their proficiency in other academic
subjects, their gender, socio-economic profile, views on creativity, attitudes, social-emotional
characteristics and their school environment.
