OVERVIEW
The Programme for International Student Assessment (PISA) is a global
standard for assessing educational system performance. Understanding how teachers
perceive PISA results and their implications is vital for informing educational policies,
practices, and professional development activities. Surveying teachers can provide
valuable insights into various aspects of PISA, including awareness, factors
influencing performance, resource allocation, teacher training, socio-economic and
cultural influences, as well as policy implications, challenges, and opportunities.
This survey examines teachers' awareness of PISA, which is necessary to
determine their familiarity with the examination and its significance. It also helps to
determine how teachers are informed about PISA and its purpose. Understanding the
factors that teachers believe affect PISA performance is crucial for identifying areas of
improvement. It can elicit insights into teachers' perceptions of the determinants of
student achievement. Evaluation of resource allocation is another critical aspect to
consider, as it directly impacts teaching and learning outcomes. It can help identify
resource gaps and areas for improvement. Teacher training and professional
development are essential for enhancing instructional practices and preparing
educators to effectively support student learning. It can provide insights into teachers'
needs and preferences regarding professional learning opportunities. Socio-economic
and cultural influences play a significant role in shaping educational outcomes and
must be considered when interpreting PISA results. It can shed light on teachers'
perspectives on these complex issues. Furthermore, this survey also explores policy
implications and challenges related to PISA that can help identify areas for policy
reform and improvement. It can inform policymakers and education leaders about the
necessary actions to drive positive change.
The survey that we conducted with teachers and administrators of different
schools about PISA findings provides significant insights into the assessment's
numerous dimensions and the implications for educational practice and policy.
Educators and policymakers can collaborate to improve educational outcomes and
support students' holistic development by addressing questions about awareness,
performance factors, resource allocation, teacher training, socioeconomic and cultural
influences, as well as policy implications and challenges.

I. INTRODUCTION
According to the Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development
(OECD) (2023), the Programme for International Student Assessment (PISA)
measures 15-year-old pupils' knowledge and skills in mathematics, reading, and
science. The assessments evaluate students' ability to solve complicated issues, think
critically, and communicate effectively. This provides insight into how well educational
systems prepare pupils for real-world obstacles and future achievement. PISA or the
Programme for International Student Assessment of OECD (Organisation for
Economic Co-operation and Development) is one of the most famous educational
events of the last decades.
The Philippines has participated in PISA for the first time in 2018. However, it
has scored the lowest in reading comprehension, and second lowest in mathematics
and science literacy. And, according to the Department of Education (DepEd), the
Philippines’ poor showing in the 2022 Program for International Student Assessment
(PISA) indicates a five- to six-year lag in learning competencies in the country. The
Philippines ranked 77th out of 81 countries globally in the student assessment
conducted by the OECD for 15-year-old learners. In the 2022 student assessment, the
country scored approximately 120 points lower than the average scores, with scores
of 355 in math, 347 in reading, and 373 in science. Filipino students are still among
the least proficient in math, reading, and science. Its performance did not significantly
improve from the assessment in 2018. The participation of the Philippines in the PISA
2022 from March 28 to May 20 is crucial in reviewing the impact of the initiatives
enforced so far by DepEd and other stakeholders.
Overall, PISA has been an impressive phenomenon. Rarely has educational
material been converted so quickly into the term 'disaster' - and domestic political
disaster. Rarely has educational information been turned into the word ' stardom' so
quickly, and countries that had previously gone unnoticed and uncelebrated have
suddenly gained international prominence. PISA was not merely an educational event.
It was also a media circus. It involved the public rehearsal of reasons for failure or
success; and even, in some cases, public political and academic explanations about
why 'failure' was not that, and why 'success' was not that either.

II. LITERATURE REVIEW


1. Investigating student-teacher ratio as a factor in reading performance: the case of
the Philippines

According to Ancho I., Galang A., Dela Cruz A., and Dela Cruz R.,(2021)
Findings reveal that the countries with a ratio having the least number of students
per teacher ranked higher compared with those with a nation having the greatest
number of students per teacher. Philippines with a ratio ranging from 15 to 36
students per teacher scored 340-393 points. It is undeniable that the student
population in the classroom positively impacts the teaching and learning
processes, particularly in reading as contextualized in this study. The government
should recognize the dire need for schools to be provided with appropriate funds
to sustain the public education system. Careful analysis of the presented data
shows the connection between student-teacher ratio and reading performance as
manifested by test scores. It is undeniable that the student population in the
classroom positively impacts the teaching and learning processes, particularly in
reading as contextualized in this study.
2. Material resources, school climate, and achievement variations in the Philippines:
Insights from PISA 2018

Based on the research of Jose Eos Trinidad (2020), Improvements and reforms
in educational systems are often thought of as institutional top-down changes that
need to be consistent to be effective. Jose Eos Trinidad argues that achievement
variations between schools and between students help illustrate and identify where
school and program investments can be directed. In particular, the level of material
resource constraints and school climate/discipline concerns are varied for public vs.
private, high vs. low socioeconomic status, and rural vs. urban schools.
Research explores the implications of these variations, and how these insights
can contribute to a more nuanced understanding of Philippine education. Although this
particular research does not so much answer why student achievement in the
Philippines is low, it explores the sources of achievement variations and what can be
done to more fully address these inequalities.
Even though this research was conducted for the 2018 Philippine PISA results,
it still has a huge connection in the 2022 Philippine PISA results that Material
resources, school climate, and achievement variations in the Philippines contribute in
Philippine results.

(PISA) “does not come as a surprise” anymore as problems in the country’s education
system continue to persist. “Similar to 2018, the Philippines continues to lag behind in
terms of student academic achievement in the areas of science, mathematics, and
reading,” the Teachers’ Dignity Coalition (TDC) said in a statement. “The education
sector is confronted with these basic problems, each of which requires an outright and
basic solution: government sincerity and political will,” TDC said.
4. The Philippine Teacher's Concerns on Educational Reform Using Concern-Based
Adoption Model

Based on the findings of Krizia Magallanes Jae Young Chung, and Sunbok Lee
indicate that consequence and collaboration were the teachers’ current concerns
(impact stage). Furthermore, experience and education factors showed the biggest
significance affecting their collaboration among teachers. These current concerns
match the existing problems of Philippine education: poor PISA results and lack of
resources. This research urges the Philippine government to promote professional
development activities that encourage teamwork and collaboration among teachers.
Educators and policymakers are responsive in implementing change and policies to
suit the needs of the students, teachers, and the educational environment. Educational
developments and modifications in education require proactive participation and
response from the teachers. Therefore, the teacher’s preparedness and self-
regulation are essential for them to deliver proper instruction and exert their influence
in the classroom (Bray-Clark and Bates, 2003).

III. LEARNING OUTCOMES


 Practical experience in conducting descriptive surveys, including data collection
and analysis.
 Enhanced understanding of various stakeholders' perspectives on the
Philippines' 2022 PISA Results.
 Development of critical thinking and analytical skills in identifying potential
areas for educational improvement.

IV. METHODOLOGY

This methodology outlines the approach taken to conduct a survey aimed at


gathering the perspectives of teachers and administrators regarding the Philippines
(PISA) Programme for International Student Assessment results in 2022. The survey

utilizes a questionnaire with a 1-5 scale ranging from "Strongly Agree" to "Strongly
Disagree" to capture respondents' opinions and perceptions.
The questionnaire aims to assess teachers' and administrators' interpretations
and perspectives on the Philippines PISA results in 2022. The questionnaire is
designed to assess teachers' and administrators' interpretations, and perceptions of
PISA results. It consists of statements related to various aspects of PISA, such as
awareness of PISA, factors affecting PISA performance, evaluation of resource
allocation, teacher training, and professional development socioeconomic and cultural
influences, policy implications, and challenges and opportunities related to PISA.
Respondents are asked to rate their agreement with each statement on a scale of 1
to 5, where 1 represents "Strongly Disagree" and 5 represents "Strongly Agree."

To facilitate data collection, the survey is conducted both electronically (via a


secure online platform) and in person. Participants are contacted using an online
platform and given a link to access the survey. Clear instructions are provided for
completing the survey, including the meaning of each point on the 1–5 scale. Follow-
up reminders are made to increase response rates and guarantee data completeness.
After gathering the needed data for the student-teacher ratio and reading test scores,
the researchers started the analysis.
Ethical aspects are carefully considered, including getting participants' informed
consent and keeping confidentiality of their responses. Participants are assured that
their participation is voluntary and that their information will only be used for research
reasons. Since this study is concerned with available documents online, it bears no
ethical concerns. References are properly cited and ethical treatment of gathered data
was observed.

AVERAGE WEIGHTED MEAN 3.83 Agree

Table 2.0 presents an interpretation of the mean of the awareness of PISA. The
average weighted mean for Table 2 is 3.83 with a verbal interpretation of Agree. This
means that teachers and administrators generally agree with the statements related
to PISA, indicating a generally positive perception and understanding of its objectives,
significance, and influence on education systems globally.

Statement number 4. I recognize the significance of PISA in shaping


educational policies and got the highest mean of 4.34 with a verbal interpretation of
Strongly Agree. It indicates a strong acknowledgment of PISA's influence on
educational policies. This means that administrators and teachers highly value the
information and data provided by PISA assessments when making decisions about
educational policies. This level of agreement suggests that the PISA is seen as a
valuable tool for benchmarking and comparing educational systems on a global scale,
shaping education reform efforts. However, Statement number 8. I am aware that the
criteria used to select students for PISA participation gained the lowest mean of 3.28
with a verbal interpretation of Neutral, indicating that teachers and administrators
express neutrality regarding their awareness of the criteria used for selecting students
for PISA participation, indicating potential gaps in knowledge in this area. Moreover,
there is a lack of transparency regarding the criteria used to select students for PISA
participation, which could lead to inconsistencies or biases in the selection process.
Schools should address these gaps by providing training or resources to all
stakeholders, regularly reviewing and updating their selection criteria, and ensuring
they are fair, consistent, and aligned with PISA goals.
From the results and findings of this study, it can be said that teachers’ and
school administrators greatly appreciate the PISA role in informing global education
policies. Nevertheless, there remains a need for more information and awareness
about the criteria for selecting students to take part in the PISA process.

Table 3.0 presents teachers' perceptions of various factors affecting PISA


performance, along with the weighted mean scores and interpretations. The average
weighted mean score across all statements is 3.57, indicating an overall agreement
among teachers regarding the factors influencing PISA performance.
Educators generally agree that innovative teaching methodologies are regularly
implemented in schools, and they believe that student engagement and critical
thinking skills positively influence PISA performance. However, there is a neutral
stance on the adequacy of current educational policies in preparing students for PISA,
as well as the alignment of the curriculum with PISA demands and the reflection of
PISA's assessment style in standardized testing practices. Despite recognizing the
impact of socio-economic challenges on PISA outcomes, teachers feel that support
for overcoming language barriers in PISA is lacking. Nevertheless, there is agreement
that the school environment fosters a culture of academic excellence relevant to PISA,

participants do not strongly agree or disagree with the existing allocation of resources.
Still, considering this as the lowest mean among survey parts, it indicates that while
there might not be strong disagreement, there are concerns or areas for improvement
in how resources are allocated for this purpose.

Out of the 10 statements under this dimension statement number 1 (one) and
statement number 9 (nine) show clear disagreement of the participants with weighted
mean of 2.75 and 2.45 which have verbal interpretations of disagree. Teachers and
administrators disagree with the statement “The funding allocation to our school is

sufficient for PISA preparation”. It concludes that the majority of respondents express
concerns about resource constraints. Therefore, teachers and administrators
advocate for increased financing that emphasize the need for more resources to
improve teaching quality, broaden access to educational materials, and support
professional development efforts. Participants also disagree that “Library and
research facilities are adequate for PISA preparation”. Out of 53 respondents, only 11
of them agreed or strongly agreed with this statement, therefore 14 of them responded
neutral and 28 participants disagreed or strongly disagreed about this statement. It
means that library and research facilities are essential for accessing a wide range of
resources, such as digital databases, academic journals, and multimedia. It suggests
that such resources are necessary for developing critical thinking and independent
inquiry, essential for success on PISA examinations.
Given that most of the responses of the teachers and administrators for the rest
of the statements are neutral, it means there are It indicates that poor agreement on
teacher resource allocation has broad implications for educational outcomes in the
Philippines. Inadequate resources may limit instructors' capacity to adequately
prepare students for examinations such as PISA, affecting overall academic
achievement and the country's status in international rankings. Differences in resource
distribution can also increase educational inequities, expanding the gap between
advantaged and disadvantaged children.

respondents generally agree that the training and professional development programs
are effective for PISA preparation.

The 15.96% of respondents who felt neutral suggests some uncertainty or


mixed opinions, potentially indicating that there could be areas of improvement in the
training to better meet all teachers' needs. Meanwhile, 18.28% of respondents agree
with the effectiveness and support of these programs, showing a positive view and
recognition of their value.

Overall, while there is a general satisfaction with the professional development


and training programs, there may be room for enhancement to ensure the programs
are inclusive, current, and tailored to individual teacher needs for a more
comprehensive PISA preparation experience.

AVERAGE WEIGHTED MEAN 3.81 Agree

Provided at Table 6, we can see that the statements revolve around the
influence of socio-economic status and cultural background on students' performance
in the PISA test, as well as the efforts made by schools to address these factors. This
conclude with weighted mean of 3.82 and verbal interpretation Agree, that the data
suggests that socio-economic status, cultural background, language barriers, family
support, and community involvement all play significant roles in students' performance
in the PISA test.
First, it's clear that there is a strong agreement (weighted mean of 4.23) that
socio-economic status affects students' performance in the PISA test. This suggests
that students from different socio-economic backgrounds may face varying levels of
resources and opportunities, which can impact their test scores. Similarly, cultural
background is seen as an influencing factor (weighted mean of 4.07) in students'
approach to the PISA tests. This highlights the importance of considering cultural
diversity and tailoring teaching strategies to meet the needs of students from different
cultural backgrounds. The data also indicates that schools are making efforts to
address the diverse cultural needs of students (weighted mean of 3.49) and view
cultural diversity as an asset in PISA preparation (weighted mean of 3.71). This shows
a positive trend towards inclusivity and recognizing the value of cultural diversity in the
learning environment. Language barriers are considered to significantly impact
students' PISA performance (weighted mean of 4.26). This emphasizes the need for
effective language support and accommodations to ensure that language proficiency
does not hinder students' ability to showcase their knowledge and skills. Family
support is regarded as important (weighted mean of 4.11) and there is a strong
correlation between family support and PISA outcomes. This highlights the role of
family involvement in students' academic success and suggests that supportive family
environments can positively impact students' performance. Community involvement is
seen as enhancing students' readiness for PISA (weighted mean of 3.91), indicating
that engagement with the community can contribute to a well-rounded educational
experience and better preparation for the test. While efforts are being made to address
socio-economic challenges (weighted mean of 3.39) and bridge gaps in PISA

connected to PISA.

Among the 10 statements there is 1 statement that shows a neutral agreement


response from teachers or administrators this is statement number 1 “Current
educational policies effectively address the needs of PISA”. A weighted mean of 3.11
which has a verbal interpretation of neutral indicates that teachers and administrators
are not disagree but do not also agree that the current educational policies of the
Philippines effectively address the needs of PISA. The outcomes paint that there is a

needed to improve the Philippines' PISA performance. This demonstrates a
widespread agreement among educators on the importance of policy adjustments to
improve the country's performance in the Programme for International Student
Assessment (PISA).

The results of the survey for this dimension “Policy Implication” show evidence
of our literature review Magallanes K, Chung JY and Lee S (2022) (The Philippine
Teachers Concerns on Educational Reform Using Concern Based Adoption Model).
Their findings say “Educators and policymakers are responsive in implementing
change and policies to suit the needs of the students, teachers, and the educational
environment”. By considering these perspectives and addressing concerns,
policymakers can develop more effective and equitable education policies that benefit
both students, teachers, and schools. Collaboration between policymakers and
teachers is essential for ensuring that policies are grounded in evidence, responsive
to local contexts, and supportive of quality education for all.

AVERAGE WEIGHTED MEAN 3.53 Agree

Table 8.0 presents teachers' and administrators' perspectives on PISA's


challenges and opportunities. With an average weighted mean of 3.53, the verbal
interpretation is Agree. It implies that teachers and administrators largely think that
PISA presents both challenges and opportunities for their schools.
Statement number 5 “The school effectively addresses internal challenges for
PISA prep” got neutral and low agreement among the statement. It means that there
is a lack of agreement among educators regarding the school's strategies and
initiatives aimed at PISA preparedness. Teachers may have differing opinions on the
effectiveness of these approaches, influenced by their individual experiences,
observations, and insights into the school's internal dynamics. This neutral response
of the participants emphasizes the significance of continuous discussion,
collaboration, and reflective practice in improving PISA preparation and educational
results. While statement number 1 "Technological access is a significant challenge
in PISA preparation" received the most agreement among the statements, implying
that technology plays a large role in PISA preparation. Most teachers and
administrators view technology as a challenge in preparing for PISA. The Philippines
must improve technological access for different schools to improve our PISA results.
This also leads to the conclusion that their perspectives on the results of the Philippine
PISA year 2022 technology are one of the determinants.
The results show that technology and the internet have an impact on the
Philippines' PISA year 2022 ranking. Furthermore, Philippine education system must
provide additional opportunities and address the issue within the school first in order
to improve teacher and student performance on PISA.

Figure 9 shows the visual presentation of the survey that includes the graph
and data about "Perceptions on Performance: A Descriptive Survey of Teachers' and
Administrators’ Views on the Philippines' 2022 PISA Results.".

Teachers acknowledge the importance of PISA (Programme for International


Student evaluation), which is why they work hard to ensure that our school performs
well on this evaluation. However, they are unsure of the criterion for selecting children
to participate. As a result, transparency is a key component of the selection process,
ensuring that all stakeholders understand how and why students are chosen.

Participants agree on the factors influencing PISA outcomes, indicating an


understanding of the various elements impacting student performance. They agree
that innovative teaching methods are frequently used in schools, and they feel that
student engagement and critical thinking abilities improve PISA results. Continuing to
use innovative teaching approaches is also recommended. In addition, present
educational policies should be reviewed and improved to better prepare students for
PISA and accord with best practices in education. Also, they express a neutral stance
on the evaluation of resource allocation for PISA-related activities, proposing higher
finance that emphasizes the need for more resources to improve teaching quality,
extend access to educational materials, and support professional development efforts.
They also emphasize the significance of teacher training in preparing students for
PISA, emphasizing the role of professional development in improving teaching
methods and student performance on international examinations.
The results also shows the perspective of teachers and administrator about
impact of socioeconomic and cultural factors on PISA outcomes, demonstrating an
understanding of the larger context that influences student progress. They strongly
agree that language barriers significantly impact students' PISA performance. Tecaher
and Administrator also show agree however, high response for neutral about policy
implications that highlight the importance of aligning educational policies with the
findings of international assessments. Technological access is a significant challenge
in PISA preparation respondent believe that technology advancement play crucial role
in PISA results last 2022.
Overall, this "Perceptions on Performance: A Descriptive Survey of Teachers'
and Administrators’ Views on the Philippines' 2022 PISA Results." Highlights that
teacher and administrator have similiraties with there perspective specially when it
comes to funds and support of Department of Education to their schools.

VIII. CONCLUSION AND RECOMMENDATION

In light of the above findings, the following conclusions are made:

1) Transparency is an essential part of the selection process, as it ensures


all stakeholders understand how students are selected and why. By
addressing these gaps and implementing strategies to improve the
selection process, schools can enhance the quality and reliability of the
data collected, which can inform education policy decisions and enable
a greater understanding of the needs, opportunities, and challenges
faced by governments and other stakeholders as they seek and drive
improvements in student learning outcomes globally.

2) It is recommended to review and enhance current educational policies


to better prepare students for PISA and align with best practices in
education. Additionally, there is a need to provide targeted support and
resources to help students overcome socio-economic challenges and
language barriers in PISA. It is also essential to ensure that the
curriculum aligns well with the demands of PISA and that standardized
testing practices reflect PISA's assessment style. Furthermore,
promoting parental involvement in students' education should be
encouraged and facilitated, as it has been shown to positively impact
students' PISA performance. Continuing to implement innovative
teaching methodologies is also advised to enhance students' learning
experiences and PISA performance.

3) Enhance transparency in resource allocation processes, ensuring that


teachers and administrators are informed about budget decisions,
allocation criteria, and opportunities for input.

4) Embrace cultural diversity, and providing language, I mean that schools


can offer additional resources and assistance to students who may have
language barriers or challenges in understanding the language used in
the PISA test. This can include language support programs, extra
tutoring, or accommodations such as translated materials or interpreters.
The goal is to ensure that language proficiency does not hinder students'
ability to demonstrate their knowledge and skills in the test.

5) It's important to establish a platform for regular and meaningful dialogue


among policymakers, educators, and researchers. This can be done
through the creation of task forces, working groups, or committees
dedicated to analyzing the PISA results and formulating actionable
recommendations. By bringing together diverse perspectives,
stakeholders can collectively identify challenges and develop strategies
to address them. And, strengthen collaboration between schools,
communities, and families. By involving parents and the wider
community in the education process, a more holistic and supportive
approach can be taken.
Overall, based on the discussion of the findings, the PISA 2022 results were
disappointing to say the least, definitely not ego-inflating for the country,
especially to educators directly involved in instruction. And, based from
existing research, literature review, and survey that we gather about
persepective of teachers and administrator it’s evident that there is a lot of
factors affecting the Philippine’s PISA results last year 2022. Material
resources, school climate, and achievement variations in the Philippines
contribute in Philippine results.
While most of our response shows agree and neutral agreements about
preparedness of our country (Philippines) in PISA, it is important to
recognize that participation makes sense because it allows us to discover
how our Filipino students perform in foreign evaluation programs. The
exercise provides an opportunity for Filipinos to become familiar with
international norms because they will eventually operate in a workforce or
community with individuals from all over the world, either virtually or in
person, in a globally competitive society. I

ABOUT PISA:

The Programme for International Student Assessment (PISA) is a worldwide study by the Organisation
for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD) intended to evaluate educational systems by
measuring 15-year-old students' abilities to apply their knowledge and skills in reading, mathematics, and
science. The assessment aims not only to gauge students' proficiency in these subjects but also to assess
their ability to tackle real-world problems, thereby providing insights into the effectiveness of participating
countries' education systems.
The Philippines' participation in PISA provides valuable data on our students' performance in comparison
to their global peers, offering a lens through which to examine and enhance our educational practices
and policies.
Please proceed to the next section to begin the survey. Together, we can take a step forward in
understanding and improving the educational landscape in the Philippines based on the insights gathered
from the PISA results.
