Introduction

The PISA 2009 dataset, which is part of the likert package in R, contains responses from students across different countries regarding their attitudes toward reading. The data is based on the Programme for International Student Assessment (PISA), a worldwide study by the OECD that evaluates educational systems by testing 15-year-old students in various subjects.

In this report, we will focus on analyzing selected questions from the PISA 2009 dataset to gain insights into students’ reading habits and preferences. The dataset consists of 81 variables and 66,690 observations, with each variable representing a different survey question and each observation representing an individual student’s response.

The dataset includes the following factors:

Country codes: Identifying the participating countries.
Reading habits: How often students engage in reading activities.
Reading frequency: The types of reading materials students prefer.
Students’ attitudes toward books: Their enjoyment and attitudes toward reading.

In our analysis, we will leverage R’s likert package to visualize and summarize the data, providing a comprehensive understanding of students’ reading attitudes in the participating countries.
