Salam all,
PISA stands for the Programme for International Student Assessment. It is a global study run by the OECD (Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development) that measures how well 15-year-old students apply their school knowledge and skills to real-life situations.
What PISA Measures :
• Core Subjects: It tests reading, mathematics, and science.
• Critical Thinking: Instead of testing simple memorization of facts, PISA focuses on problem-solving, reasoning (i.e., penaakulan), and how well students can use what they have learned to face real-world challenges.
• Rotating Focus: Each testing cycle highlights one major domain while keeping the other two as minor areas. It also includes innovative areas like digital or collaborative problem-solving.

Keputusan PISA Msia dlm matematik :
"Pencapaian matematik merupakan isyarat paling membimbangkan dalam PISA 2025 apabila skor Malaysia menurun 11 mata kepada 397 berbanding 409 pada 2022" (Akademi Profesor)

ASEAN Comparisons for Pisa Math Ranking: 2025, 2022 & 2018
- Math Ranking (ASEAN) 2025:
- Singapore
- Vietnam
- Brunei
- Thailand
- Malaysia (Math: 397)
- Assessment for Maths (PISA) (Msia) 2022 scored 409 : Malaysia ranked generally in the middle tier among participating ASEAN countries, placing behind top performers like Singapore, Vietnam, and Brunei, but ahead of Thailand, Indonesia, the Philippines, and Cambodia.
- Assessment for Maths (PISA ) (Msia ) 2018 scored 440 points. Malaysia ranked roughly 4th or 5th in ASEAN, trailing Singapore, Brunei, and Vietnam.
Tapi "teknik" pelajar kita utk menyelesaikan sesuatu masalah matematik terdapat peningkatan (i.e., memorization of techniques (i.e., rote learning))...utk pelajar kita biasanya ok jer...sbb diaorg mmg kuat menghafal teknik 🤣😅😂). Hanya utk apply kan "teknik" penyelesaian tersebut kedlm "real life problem"...itu yg menjadi masalah utama...dan kena explain pulak tu why u choose that technique of problem solving 😀 (i.e., reasoning (penaakulan)). Haru biru lah jwb nya 😅🤣😂
I pun ada masalah pd permulaan I buat Bsc & MSc in Maths di US dulu. I kena terangkan why I chose that particular technique to solve that problem.
Masa ini lah pelajar perlukan "critical thinking"...di mana pelajar dikehendaki menganalisa "real life problem" tersebut dan provide hujjah yg konkrit to support his technique of problem solving.
Secara jujur...bagi I maths mmg suatu subjek yg sgt memboringkan semasa I di sek menengah dulu 😂...tp bila I gi US to further studies dlm bidang computer science...I kena choose beberapa subject as electives...so I pilih calculus1(mcm maths tambahan form 4).
Then...tiba2...woossshhh !!!...my perception on maths hilang habis...and I began to understand what maths is all about n I fell in love with it ❤️...n eventually, I decided to buat double degrees (dua degree)...satu dlm computer science n satu lagi dlm maths.
Lecturer yg berjaya membuka mata hati I about maths adalah Prof Thomas Davis yg mengajar I calculus 1, pastu calculus 2, calculus 3 n lastly until calculus 4 (sampai khatam lah buku text calculus yg setebal 4 inchi tu ). He was a really funny guy 😅.
Semasa Prof Davis explain apa yg dimaksudkn dgn konsep "mean value theorem"...siap dgn expression muka dia bagai...dia cakap "mean" ni bukan nya bermaksud mean dlm erti kata kejam/jahat... siap tunjuk expression muka org yg kejam/jahat bagai 😂😅🤣. He was really really funny...I ketawa mcm nk rak...sampai satu class pandang I. Uol sume tau kan...how I love to laugh 🤣😅😂.
Sebagai contoh...If dlm topic differentiation...mula2 Prof Davis ajar apa yg dimaksudkn dgn konsep differentiation...explain kat white board secara detail apa akan terjadi if variables dlm formula differention tu berubah2 (la ni senang dah...sbb kita dah ada software utk tunjukkan perubahan tersebut dgn segera melalui penggunaan, sebagai contoh, software Computer Algebra System (CAS))...siap dgn visual bagai). Pelajar boleh explore & experiment sendiri (i.e., self learning) dgn menggunakan CAS utk menambahkan pemahaman mereka about konsep differentiation tersebut.
Bila pelajar sudah memahami konsep differentiation dgn baik, baru pelajar move to the next level...iaitu application of differentiation into the real world problem. Pada masa ini critical thinking memainkn peranan penting utk menguji tahap pelajar dlm kemahiran reasoning (i.e., penaakulan) dan how well students can use penggunaan konsep differentiation dlm menyelesaikan real world problem yg diberi...dgn juga mempersembahkn hujjah yg konkrit to support ur jalan penyelesaian.
Level ini lah terdapat masalah besar kpd kebanyakn pelajar kita. If dlm ER tu...kod MERAH 😀😮😳
I dh dgr wawancara mengenai pelan kpm to improve PISA....but honestly I feel it is just still too vague. Con: detail kan dgn sedetail2 nya training yg guru akan lalui to cater pelajar kita yg berusia 15 thn ni utk menghadapi PISA (Mathematics).
YAB DSAI semasa interview di China menyatakan beliau ingin menumpukan kpd pendidikan di Msia dahulu (priority kot😀...I pun rasa the same juga👍). I hanya berharap semoga beliau x concentrate hanya kpd infrastructure sekolah sahaja...tp hendaklah berjalan seiring dgn plan reformasi hala tuju pendidikan msia yg mantap (x setakat utk pisa saja).
Semoga Allah swt mengurniakn kekuatan kpd kita utk memberi pendidikan terbaik utk ank2 kita dan dgn ilmu yg diperolehi dpt mereka mengenal Allah swt dgn lebih dekat n memperolehi keredhaanNya.
Ameen 3x yra.
Salam Jumaat.
Allahumma solli'ala Muhammad❤️
Yuzita ❤️ Allah swt
