This article seeks to unpack the taken-for-granted notion of low performance, arguing that performance and competency are not a given categories; rather they are "objects-for-thought" that receive their discursive and material contours through a chain of translations. As suggested previously by Gorur, PISA is analyzed through the lens of…
