In the context of the proliferation of standardized testing, circumscribed by what has been conceptualized in the literature as “accountability policies”, the aim of this paper is to offer an alternative line of thought and discussion on the PISA test. Using the approach of Bruno Latour’s actor-network theory (ANT), I present exercises on epistemic translation of the PISA test from a modern-positivist model of thought to a materialistic-pragmatic one, in which a constructivist and analytical description of its constituent components is preferred. Based on the monitoring and analysis of news reports about PISA in electronic newspapers in Chile and Argentina, plus the review of secondary sources, I describe some of the controversies surrounding the test and discuss its potential impact on our perceptions of education and quality. Additionally, the allegedly neutral and objective character of the test is problematized, and it is raised the question of its possible agency in the crystallization of centerperiphery relations between countries which, in the framework of the ANT approach, makes sense to explore.
