PISA

The Programme for International Student Assessment (PISA) is a worldwide study by the Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD) in member and non-member nations intended to evaluate educational systems by measuring 15-year-old school pupils’ scholastic performance on mathematics, science, and reading.PISA aims to test literacy the competence of students in three fields: reading, mathematics, science on an indefinite scale.

The PISA mathematics literacy test asks students to apply their mathematical knowledge to solve problems set in real-world contexts. To solve the problems students must activate a number of mathematical competencies as well as a broad range of mathematical content knowledge. PISA claims to measure education’s application to real-life problems and lifelong learning (workforce knowledge).

In the reading test, “OECD/PISA does not measure the extent to which 15-year-old students are fluent readers or how competent they are at word recognition tasks or spelling.” Instead, they should be able to “construct, extend and reflect on the meaning of what they have read across a wide range of continuous and non-continuous texts.”

The test is conducted every three years. To improve learning levels of children and enhance the quality of education in the country India decided to participate again after 2009.

India has applied with Kendriya Vidyalayas, Navodaya Vidyalayas & all Government & Private schools in Chandigarh. Keeping all rules regulations & objectives of PISA in view all schools have started its preparations. In GMSSS-45C teachers are assigned classes in which experiential learning according to PISA is being practiced. Our main focus is to develop the problem solving approach of the students and enhance educational standards.

PISA classes are held twice a week in our school. Students are given work assignments according to the levels of the subjects.
