EDUCATION Secretary Juan Edgardo \u201cSonny\u201d Angara on Friday stressed the need to develop examinations in schools that would match the Program for International Student Assessment (PISA).<\/strong><\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n Angara said school assessments should encourage students to be analytical and critical thinkers.<\/strong><\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n \u201cI think we need to have more test exams that are PISA-like,\u201d he said.<\/strong><\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n Angara noted the quality of education in the country should be improved.<\/strong><\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n He further discussed that examinations should be presented in a way that students can harness their skills and apply them to real-life situations.<\/strong><\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n \u201cIt really goes to the quality of our education because the PISA exam measures very specific type of skills,\u201d he pointed out.<\/strong><\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n \u201cThey present you the situation and you must react to it and analyze it. So, hindi lang siya parang iyong normal exam na ano iyong nangyari itong date na ito o ano iyong cause nito. So they really give you a problem set. It\u2019s a very real-world type,\u201d he added.<\/strong><\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n Angara expressed his plans to change the culture of assessment and measurement in the Philippine education sector.<\/strong><\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n \u201cI want to change the culture because we want to have a culture of assessment and measurement, meaning our decisions are not based on what we think or what we feel, but really based on evidence; we measure our outcomes,\u201d Angara stressed.<\/strong><\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n He referred to these plans as having \u201cmore objective tools to measure our education outcomes\u201d and maximizing the use of technology to modernize the sector.<\/strong><\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n In 2022, PISA revealed that Filipino students are lagging behind in reading, math, and science. The results \u201cwere about the same\u201d as in the previous assessment conducted in 2018.<\/strong><\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n The Organisation for Economic Cooperation and Development\u2019s (OECD) PISA also conducted its first-ever creative thinking assessment in 2022, where the Philippines was second to the last among 64 countries and economies worldwide.<\/strong><\/p>\n <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" EDUCATION Secretary Juan Edgardo “Sonny” Angara on Friday stressed the need to develop examinations in schools that would match the Program for International Student Assessment<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":7725,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":[],"categories":[5],"tags":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/journaldailynewsonline.com.ph\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/7724"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/journaldailynewsonline.com.ph\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/journaldailynewsonline.com.ph\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/journaldailynewsonline.com.ph\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/journaldailynewsonline.com.ph\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=7724"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/journaldailynewsonline.com.ph\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/7724\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":7726,"href":"https:\/\/journaldailynewsonline.com.ph\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/7724\/revisions\/7726"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/journaldailynewsonline.com.ph\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/7725"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/journaldailynewsonline.com.ph\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=7724"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/journaldailynewsonline.com.ph\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=7724"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/journaldailynewsonline.com.ph\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=7724"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
