How Pisa Measures Students’ Mightiness To Collaborate
Director, Directorate for Education together with Skills
Late adjacent calendar month (21 November, to last exact) we’ll last releasing the results PISA’s first-ever assessment of students’ powerfulness to solve problems collaboratively. Why has PISA focused on this item ready of skills? Because inwards today’s increasingly interconnected world, people are ofttimes required to collaborate inwards lodge to accomplish their objectives, both inwards the workplace together with inwards their personal lives. Working alongside others is non equally tardily equally it sounds. One somebody mightiness terminate upward reproducing another’s work; wretched communication together with personal tensions betwixt people mightiness foreclose a squad from reaching its goal. So it’s worth finding out whether students today know what it takes to run (and play) good alongside others.
This month’s PISA inwards Focus describes what it means, according to PISA, to last competent inwards collaborative work solving. Along alongside the skills needed to solve problems individually, a skillful squad fellow member besides has to educate together with hold a shared agreement of the work alongside his or her teammates, accept the actions needed to solve the problem, together with found together with hold squad organisation. These skills tin attention make upward one's heed how students learn, teachers learn together with how nosotros gauge the surgery of schools.
PISA inwards Focus besides explains how PISA is able to stair out students’ collaboration skills – not, equally y'all mightiness expect, past times observing students equally they run alongside other students, but past times next their interactions alongside squad members who are truly estimator simulations of humans (known equally estimator agents). Today’s technology scientific discipline allows us to assess students’ 21st century skills. Not exclusively tin the deportment of these estimator agents last controlled, but they tin besides last programmed then that around are to a greater extent than co-operative than others, together with around may last to a greater extent than focused on solving the work than others. Sound familiar? Yes: they’re programmed to last but similar y'all together with me.
Several “screen shots” from a purpose of the assessment that was released to Blue Planet are besides presented then y'all tin acquire a amend sentiment of the kinds of tasks PISA students were asked to perform, together with how the students’ responses limited the skills they demand to collaborate alongside others. In short, this month’s PISA inwards Focus gives y'all both a behind-the-scenes expression at the thinking that went into the pattern of the assessment, together with a front-row topographic point for when the results of the assessment are released adjacent month.
