Summary
The concept of students’ opportunity to learn (OTL) the content of any assessment is grounded in the early discussions that led up to the Pilot Twelve-Country Study in 1960. The model of school learning later published by Carroll (1963) and mastery learning by Bloom (1968), both of whom were involved in those early discussions, explicated the thinking around OTL and its connection to measures of student achievement. This chapter provides an historical and conceptual overview of OTL and the important role it has in any study of student achievement or performance. The chapter also provides an overview for how OTL has been included in both IEA and PISA studies of mathematics and science.
