Prepare the Indian students for the global economy in the 21st century Would lead to recognition and acceptability of Indian students Help to introduce competency based examination reforms in the school system Help move away from rote learning CBSE & NCERT will be part of the process and activities leading to the actual test WHY PISA?

We need our education to prepare us for the times to come
The three pillars of education viz. Critical Thinking, Problem Solving and Conceptual understanding must become the key parameters of learning
Our current education leaves our children far behind in all these aspects and in that light PISA is a welcome change.
Activities and concepts in the classrooms need to engage the mind, inspire and become contextual. Evaluation needs to be re-modeled to incorporate similar thinking. In that light PISA is a very welcome intervention both for educators and educatees. 4<br>

Why PISA for India?
PISA—will help introduce competency based examination reforms in the school system.
Will discourage rote learning
Lead to recognition and acceptability of Indian students & prepare them for global economy of 21st Century.<br>

PISA 2021
India shall be participating for the second time, the first being in 2009.
2. 36 OECD member countries and over 50 non-members are expected to participate.
3. The focus will be Mathematical Literacy. PISA 2021
5250 students (150 schools x 35 students) will be assessed on the following subjects:-
Maths and Science (47% students)
Maths and Reading (47% students)
Reading and Science (6%students)<br>
08
The Challenge Ahead
India didn’t appear in PISA in 2012 and 2015 on account of its dismal performance in 2009, when it was placed 72nd among the 74 participating countries.
2021--PISA will help reveal where India stands globally as far as learning outcomes are concerned.
The Challenge before the teaching community is to collaborate, train and brace our students for PISA 2021.<br>

Five workshops of two days each conducted across the country in April, 2019 to prepare grounds for PISA.
(‘Preparing Ground for PISA’, a Teacher’s handbook has been prepared) KVS has prepared the ‘Teachers’ Manual on Scientific Literacy for PISA’.
Joyful Learning activities/competitions for enhancing the competencies of students for PISA have been prepared by KVS NICSI empanelled vendor M/s KPMG hired for diagnostic study to put forth mechanisms, systemic processes to improve student performance in the upcoming PISA A PISA cell has been created at KVS (Hq.) with 3 vertical teams – Administrative, Training & Academic.<br>

SCIENTIFIC LITERACY IN PISA PISA believes that every individual should be able to think scientifically about the evidence they encounter in their real-life challenges.
Students are required to use knowledge that would be gained from the science curriculum and apply it in novel and real life situations.<br>
12
Scientific Competencies The PISA scientific literacy assessment items requires students to :
identify scientifically oriented issues
Explain phenomena scientifically
and use scientific evidence<br>
13
PISA believes that every individual should be able to think scientifically about the evidence they encounter in their real-life challenges.
The PISA assessment, therefore, tests students’ performance in applying scientific literacy in real-life situations.
Students should be able to use scientific processes, scientific concepts, and scientific situations to answer questions and make decisions about the natural world.<br>
14
New Paradigm of Science teaching Using Multiple Intelligences in Science Teaching:
The focus of teaching is to arouse students' curiosity and motivation to think, act, investigate, explore, and learn.
Science teaching is to share with students the joy of process and outcomes of science learning.
Science teaching is a life-long learning process involving continuous discovery, experimenting, self-actualization, reflection, and professional development particularly in the area of science.<br>
15
What Can Science Teachers do ? Give stimulus to students to make them think scientifically.
Children are curious by nature and a teacher can make arrangements in a classroom/ school to satisfy their curiosity.
A number of encouraging questions should be asked and the teacher should try to provide satisfactory answers.
Opportunities for close observation should be provided by way of hands-on experience and experimentation.<br>
16
6 - E’s of Learning Engage - make curious
Explore - freedom to investigate
Explain - analysis of explore stage
Elaborate - application of knowledge
Evaluate - assessment
Extend - suggestions beyond lesson<br>
17
Experiential Learning
It is the process of learning through experience, and is more specifically defined as ‘learning through reflection on doing’.
Experiential learning enables skills to be learnt and practiced in classroom and then practically applied in real life situations.<br>

MATHEMTAICS LITERACY IN PISA Mathematical literacy is an individual’s capacity to identify and understand the role that mathematics plays in the world, to make well- founded judgments and to use and engage with mathematics in ways that meet the needs of that individual’s life as a constructive, concerned and reflective citizen.<br>

Components of Mathematical Domain<br>

PISA examines the capacities of students to analyze, reason, and communicate mathematical ideas effectively as they pose, formulate, solve and interpret mathematical problems in a variety of situations.<br>
22
1. Starting with a problem situated in reality
2. Organizing it according to mathematical concepts and identifying the relevant mathematics.
3. Making assumptions, generalizing and formalizing---to transform the real world problem into a mathematical problem
4. Solving the mathematical problem
5. Making sense of the mathematical solution in terms of the real situation. The Mathematisation
Cycle<br>
23
COMPETENCIES NEEDED FOR MATHEMATICAL LITERACY Mathematical thinking and reasoning.
Mathematical argumentation
Mathematical communication
Problem posing and solving
Representation.
Symbols
