Study Notes

PISA Overview

The Programme for International Student Assessment (PISA) evaluates 15-year-old students' performance in reading, mathematics, and science every three years since 2000.
The assessment format includes both computer and paper-based options.
Starting in 2025, PISA will shift to a four-year cycle, rotating its focus across various subjects, including optional domains like financial literacy.

Sampling and Participation

Sampled students must participate to ensure robust data; a minimum of 80% must respond for a country's data to be reported.
Replacement schools can be used if original schools decline, helping to reach a target response rate of at least 65%.
A random sample of students is selected from both public and private schools, ensuring diversity by including various demographics.

Philippines' Performance (2018 & 2022)

In PISA 2022, the Philippines was ranked 78 out of 78 in 2018 and improved slightly to 77 out of 81 in 2022.
No significant improvement in the country's performance was observed between the 2018 and 2022 assessments in math, reading, and science.
Assessment results highlight Filipino students as among the lowest globally, with consistent low performance despite 31 countries maintaining their scores.

Gender Disparity in Performance

Female students outperformed male students in all competency areas, with performance gaps of 14 points in Mathematics and Science, and a significant 35 points in Reading in the 2022 results.
Male students showed a decline of six points in science performance, while improvements in mathematics and reading were minimal.

School Type Impact

Students in private schools scored higher than those in public schools across all subjects.
Significant score differences were noted: 59 points in Mathematics, 73 points in Science, and 83 points in Reading favoring private school students relative to public school counterparts.

Factors Influencing Learning Outcomes

Only 21% of Filipino students reported receiving help in remote classes, compared to an OECD average of 51%.
Filipino students demonstrated higher self-motivation for independent learning (68% vs. OECD average of 58%).
Bullying and feelings of unsafety were prevalent; 48% reported bullying, higher than the OECD average of 21%.

Recommendations for Improvement

Targeted interventions to address the stagnation in scores are needed, along with adapting successful strategies from high-performing countries.
Educational policies should be reviewed to align with contemporary needs, incorporating global best practices.
Emphasis on ongoing professional development for educators is crucial to enhance teaching standards and effectiveness.

Conclusion

The performance of the Philippine education system remains complex due to various challenges, as evidenced by dismal PISA rankings in reading, mathematics, and science.
