ANALYSIS
Malaysia is ranked 52 out of the 65 countries in the survey conducted Organization for
Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD). Malaysia is ahead of Indonesia, its neighbor
but defeated by Singapore who ranked second behind Shanghai-China. The top 5 countries that
perform well in these subjects are Shanghai-China, Singapore, Hong Kong-China, Chinese
Taipei and Korea. On average between Malaysia and country ranked below it, students scored
well in mathematics with a mean of 421 even if it did not achieve the OECD average. Qatar
students perform well in mathematics with 2 % compared to Malaysia which is only 1 % but
Malaysia have the lowest low achievers in mathematics which is 51% compared to the countries
ranked below it such as Jordan (68%), Qatar (69%), Colombia (73%), Peru (74%) and Indonesia
(75%). Girls perform better than boys in mathematics in Malaysia which is 424 girls and 416
boys. This shows that female students in Malaysia can do a better problem solving in
mathematics and compared to male students. The Mathematics average in Malaysia was higher
than 13 education system, lower than 52 education system, and not measurably different than 25
education system. If Malaysia is compared with students at the top 5 countries, boys did perform
better than girls. Malaysia still needs a lot of catch up to do as the top 5 countries which are
Shanghai-China. Singapore, Hong Kong-China, Chinese- Taipei and Korea already achieve a
good performance for all three subjects. Malaysian students at age 15 years old barely scored
well in reading which is at 398 point compared to the 5 lowest countries where Colombia
perform better with a mean of 403. Even though Qatar students perform quite well in
reading(1%) at level 5 or 6, it low performers (level 2) somehow came at second last(57%) as
Malaysia is still at its best condition, barely scored in reading when its low performers at level 2
students is at 52% comes second after Jordan(50%). Malaysia has the highest score in Science
(420) compared to Jordan(409), Colombia(399), Qatar(384), Indonesia(382) and Peru(373).
When Malaysia is compared to the 5 lowest countries, girls have the highest score in Science
compared to boys but at the top 5 countries, the boys still own their place at making a good
reasoning and scientific answers. Qatar once again marked its top performers at 1% compared to
Malaysia (0%) but when it comes to Level 2 low achievers Malaysia has the lowest score(45%)
compared to Jordan(49%), Colombia(56%), Qatar(62%), Indonesia(66%), and Peru(68%).

ANALISA
Malaysia berada di kedudukan 52 daripada 65 negara dalam kajian yang dijalankan
Pertubuhan bagi Kerjasama Ekonomi dan Pembangunan (OECD). Malaysia mendahului
Indonesia, jirannya tetapi dikalahkan oleh Singapura yang menduduki tempat kedua di belakang
Shanghai-China. Antara 5 negara yang menunjukkan prestasi terbaik dalam mata pelajaran Sains,
Matematik dan Membaca adalah Shanghai-China, Singapura, Hong Kong-China, China Taipei
dan Korea. Secara purata, Malaysia dan negara yang berada di kedudukan di bawah, pelajarnya
mendapat markah yang baik dalam matematik dengan min 421 walaupun ia tidak mencapai
purata OECD. Pelajar Qatar menunjukkan prestasi yang baik dalam matematik dengan 2%
berbanding Malaysia yang hanya 1% tetapi pelajar Malaysia pada tahap 2 yang mempunyai
pencapaian rendah dalam matematik hanya sedikit iaitu 51% berbanding dengan negara-negara
yang berada di kedudukan di bawahnya seperti Jordan (68%), Qatar (69%) , Colombia (73%),
Peru (74%) dan Indonesia (75%). Di Malaysia, pelajar perempuan(424) lebih baik daripada
pelajar lelaki(416) di dalam mata pelajaran matematik. Ini menunjukkan bahawa pelajar
perempuan di Malaysia mampu menyelesaikan soalan matematik seperti merumuskan situasi
matematik, ruang dan bentuk berbanding dengan pelajar lelaki. Purata Matematik di Malaysia
adalah lebih tinggi daripada 13 sistem pendidikan, lebih rendah daripada 52 sistem pendidikan,
dan tidak kurang bezanya daripada 25 sistem pendidikan. Jika Malaysia dibandingkan dengan
pelajar-pelajar di 5 negara teratas, pelajar lelaki ternyata mempunyai prestasi yang lebih baik
daripada pelajar perempuan. Malaysia masih perlu melakukan banyak usaha jika ingin mengatasi
5 negara teratas iaitu Shanghai-China, Singapura, Hong Kong China, Chinese- Taipei dan Korea
di mana negara-negara tersebut telah mencapai prestasi yang terbaik bagi ketiga-tiga mata
pelajaran. Pelajar Malaysia pada usia 15 tahun kurang cemerlang dalam membaca iaitu pada 398
mata berbanding dengan 5 negara paling terendah di mana Colombia mempunyai prestasi yang
lebih baik dengan min 403. Walaupun pelajar Qatar menunjukkan prestasi yang baik dalam
membaca (1%) pada peringkat 5 atau 6, tahap 2 yang mempunyai pencapaian rendah
menunjukkan pertambahan dan meletakkan Qatar di tempat kedua terakhir (57%) kerana
Malaysia masih berada dalam keadaan yang lebih baik, apabila pelajar tahap 2 yang mempunyai
pencapai rendah dalam membaca hanyalah 52% meletakkan Malaysia ditempat kedua selepas

Jordan (50% ). Malaysia mempunyai markah tertinggi dalam Sains (420) berbanding Jordan
(409), Colombia (399), Qatar (384), Indonesia (382) dan Peru (373). Apabila Malaysia
dibandingkan dengan 5 negara paling terendah, pelajar perempuan mempunyai skor tertinggi
dalam Sains berbanding dengan pelajar lelaki tetapi apabila dibandingkan dengan 5 negara
teratas, pelajar lelaki

menunjukkan prestasi yang lebih baik dalam memberikan jawapan

saintifik. Qatar sekali lagi menunjukkan prestasi baik pada 1% berbanding dengan Malaysia
(0%) tetapi pelajar tahap 2 berpencapaian rendah Malaysia mempunyai jumlah yang paling
sedikit (45%) berbanding Jordan (49%), Colombia (56%), Qatar (62%), Indonesia (66%), dan
Peru (68%).
