LEMOS, Valter  and  SERRAO, Anabela. The impact of PISA in Portugal through the media. Sociologia, Problemas e Práticas [online]. 2015, n.78, pp.87-104. ISSN 0873-6529.  https://doi.org/10.7458/SPP2015783310.

PISA has been an instrument of action of the OECD with public impact and influence on education policies in several countries. This article looks at how PISA and dissemination of results from Portuguese students were treated in three media of national reference between 2001 and 2012: the daily newspaper Diário de Notícias, the weekly newspaper Expresso and the weekly Visão. It was concluded that the national media have been playing an important role in disseminating the PISA results, with a significant increase in the number of news stories, helping to shape the national education policy often when establishing relationship between PISA and concrete policy measures where this program seems to appear as legitimizing element of political decision.

Keywords : PISA; OCDE; media.
