About this indicator
This indicator measures the average PISA Computational Problem-Solving score for 15-year-olds. The OECD Programme for International Student Assessment (PISA) assesses how well students near the end of compulsory schooling can use their knowledge and skills in contexts relevant to further learning, work and participation in society. Computational Problem Solving was assessed for the first time in PISA 2025 as part of the OECD's new innovative domain, Learning in the Digital World (LDW). LDW proficiency is defined as students' capacity to engage in an iterative and self-regulated process of knowledge building and problem solving using computational tools and practices. Scores are expressed in points on a common international scale.
