  2. What is PISA PISA - Programme for International Students Assessment (Since 2000) OECD - organization for Economics Co-operation & Development (since 1979) Triennial International survey. Evaluate Education system globally by measuring skills and knowledge of 15 year old students. Over 70 countries are participating Survey - Science, Reading and Mathematics. Application of knowledge in unfamiliar setting both within and outside the school environment. Application of Knowledge to real life situations and be equipped for society

  3. India in PISA India participated in 2009. 16 thousand students from Himachal Pradesh & TamilNaduparticipated from 400 schools. Secured 72 rank out of 74 participated countries. China (Shanghai School) first time participated in PISA. Topper in Mathematics and science. India boycotted PISA – 2012 & 2015.

  4. Highlights of PISA 2021 Core domain Mathematics and one innovative domain – creative thinking. Students will be expected to fill 35 minute background questionnaire together with the 120 minutes test. Since 2015 - computer based assessment. Option of pen and paper based Assessment is also provided . School Principals, Teachers & Parents will also fill questionnaires for additional information.

  5. PISA is a competency based assessment which unlike content-based assessment, measures the extent to which students have acquired key competencies that are essential for full participation in modern societies. Why PISA- how will it help India • It would lead to recognition and acceptability of Indian students and prepare them for the global economy in the 21st century. • Learnings from participation in PISA will help to introduce competency based examination reforms in the school system and help move away from rote learning. • The CBSE and NCERT will be part of the process and activities leading to the actual test.

  10. Components of PISA Paper/ Computer Test Students’ Questionnaire Principals’ Questionnaire A 45 minutes questionnaire will be given to students that will include questions about their family background including social & economic. Also , questions to test student’s engagement, attitude and motivation towards learning, family environment etc. A 45 minutes questionnaire to be answered by the administrators of the participating schools. The questionnaire will include questions in regards to aspect of school. The student’s engagement in class, attitude towards school etc. A 120 minutes test that will be administered either through paper or computer Apart from these mandatory components there are other optional questionnaires that the country may choose to implement for the teachers and parents. Each of 300minutes.

  11. Participating in PISA is an important mile-stone and carries considerable implications for review of transactional pedagogies and assessment frameworks Data points and analysis for policy and other decision makers at all levels of the education system – teachers, students, principals, parents, etc. Identify indicators and other factors which influence learning levels of students PISA 2021: Implications for India Assess educational status across language, Mathematics, Science, and other innovative domains in comparison with other countries Re-design classroom pedagogies and curriculum such that students can apply knowledge gained in the classroom in unfamiliar settings, thus, equipping them for real world challenges

  12. Field Trial(FT) • To be conducted in March-May 2020. • 25 schools and 36 students in each school i.e. 900 students to be assessed through 18 forms to be used for testing 50 students each. • Exact dates to be chosen for field trial

  13. PISA 2021 officially called Main Survey • To be conducted in April 2021 5250 students (150 schools x 35 students) will be assessed on the following subjects:- • Maths and Science (47% students) • Maths and Reading (47% students) • Reading and Science (6%students)

  14. ProblemsandIssues • Too much text/reading. • Too much information. • Learners don't know how to answer. • The questions are long and presented in unfamiliar layouts. • Learners don't understand the questions. • They give up too easily. • They are afraid to be wrong.

  15. Gearing for PISA 2021 - KVS Prepared strategy for a systematic transformation. “Teach - to - the - test” - customary approach. More Analytical Deeper and Meaningful approach Empower teachers to work for the short term learning gains of students Learning reform initiatives and result in long term gains. Survey by KPMG. Collection of data on sampling basis conducting mock test PISA 2012 as a baseline Based on survey results to set policy. Targets against measurable goals for students outcomes. Conduct pilots for appropriate interaction identifies. Scale up for adoption by all schools.

  16. Comparison of assessment questions: testing interpretation and application On a particular day, the weather forecast predicts that from 12 noon to 6 pm the chance of rainfall is 30%. Which of the following statements is the best interpretation of this forecast? A 30% of the land in the forecast area will get rain. B 30% of the 6 hours (a total of 108 minutes) will have rain. C For the people in that area, 30 out of every 100 people will experience rain. D If the same prediction was given for 100 days, then about 30 days out of the 100 days will have rain. E The amount of rain will be 30% of a heavy rainfall (as measured by rainfall per unit time). In an ODI match, a wicket keeper drops a catch 6 times out of 30 catches he gets. Find the probability of the wicketkeeper not dropping a catch?
