How does PISA influence the formulation of curriculum policies?
In short, NO PISA should not guide the curriculum. Developing countries are impacted by the results of PISA. It seems that the capitalist world economy drives education policy in many underdeveloped countries and PISA plays a major role. Countries try to be innovative based on the results of test scores that might have no alignment with the needs of their educational system. Countries or Nations should focus their educational reform on providing the resources and skills the teachers and students need. Teachers should have the skills and government support to provide a quality education that meets the needs of all students. The curriculum should reflect the current trends and needs of the country and what they need in the future. If the teaching, learning, and assessment processes are improved, then the educational system can improve. Countries need to have a clear purpose for the results of their educational system. They need to know why they are educating their children and what type of citizens they want for their future in a democratic government system or any government system.
PISA results are not used as a guideline in developing the curriculum but how PISA results encourage teachers to improve learning and assessment systems.
Yeah... Focus on the competencies, specifically the global competencies. Global competencies must be integrated by "us" educators in our subjects. A reform must be start in the classroom level, I think.
PISA results play a significant role in the formulation of curriculum policies in the Philippine setting. The results help establish baselines and benchmark the performance of students in various subjects, such as mathematics, science, and reading comprehension. They help identify gray areas for improvement, influence educational reforms, increase investments in education, promote equity in education, and provide valuable insights into best practices through comparative analysis on the performance of the Filipino students in coming up with the new curriculum policies and strategies to address issues and gaps in the education system by reviewing and updating the K to 12 curriculum.
