Il saggio esamina i risultati italiani in OCSE PISA 2012. La mancanza di rapporti nazionali su Problem Solving e Financial Literacy rende difficile una lettura completa delle performance degli studenti italiani, ma la lettura trasversale dei rapporti OCSE rivela un sorprendente esito positivo per il Problem Solving e una parallela caduta nella Financial Literacy. I risultati di questi due ambiti sono stati collegati a quelli già ottenuti in Lettura e Matematica, per identificare le principali ragioni delle debolezze dei risultati italiani. La scuola non risulta responsabile per i buoni risultati del Problem Solving, mentre per la Financial Literacy emergono evidenti problemi di impreparazione sui contenuti specifici di tipo economico. Vengono confermate le forti differenze territoriali dei risultati.

Abstract
The paper examines the Italian results in OECD-PISA 2012. The lack of national reports on Problem Solving and Financial Literacy makes it difficult to analyze the overall performance of Italian students, but the reading of the OECD reports reveals a surprising positive result for Problem Solving and a heavy fall in the Financial Literacy. The results of these two literacies have been linked to Reading and Mathematics, to identify the main reasons for the weakness of the Italian results. The school is not responsible for the good results of Problem Solving, while there is a problem of poor training on the specific contents of Financial Literacy. The strong regional differences of the results are confirmed.I documenti in IRIS sono protetti da copyright e tutti i diritti sono riservati, salvo diversa indicazione.
