PROGRAM FOR INTERNATIONAL STUDENT ASSESSMENT
The Programme for
International Student Assessment (PISA) is a triennial international survey
which aims to evaluate education systems worldwide by testing the skills and
knowledge of 15-year-old students who are nearing the end of their compulsory
education. PISA assesses how well they can apply what they learn in school to
real-life situations. Over 90 countries have participated in the assessment so
far which began in 2000. Every three years students are tested in the key
subjects: reading, mathematics and science.
The development in
robotics and Artificial Intelligence will make machines better at routine
tasks, and then humans will need to focus on the skills that remain exclusive
to them: creativity, collaboration, communication, and problem-solving. They
will also need to adapt quickly as more and more skills fall prey to
automation. Thus it connotes that the 21st-century classroom will have to focus
on the strengths and interests of each person, rather than impart a canonical
set of knowledge which were suited for the industrial age.
