Each participating educational systems, a
minimum of 4500 to 5000 students are
evaluated.
15 years old students.
First conducted in 1995 and repeated every
4 years.
First performed in 2000 and repeated
every 3 years.
Evaluates student’s math and Science
performance.
Aims at testing literacy in reading,
mathematics and science.
Measure more traditional classroom content
(Curriculum attainment)
Measure education’s application to real-
life problems and lifelong learning.

The exposure of weakness in malaysian education
World Bank economist Frederico
Gil Sander says Malaysia's poor
education system more worrying
than household debt.
– March 25, 2014
According to PISA's 2012 results Malaysian students scored below average or ranked 52 out 65. In contrast, Vietnamese students ranked 17 out of 65.
Spotlighted the weakness of Malaysia's school system, despite the fact that education gets the largest share of funds every year from the national budget.
PISA results contradicted the
government's insistence that
Malaysia had a world class
education system.
Questioned the real worth of the
Sijil Pelajaran Malaysia (SPM) which
produces many students who
scored As, but who can't compete
with their peers from Singapore,
China and Taiwan.

However, any borrowing must be adapted to the
culture and basic social policy states that have
borrowed it.In other words, we ourselves must
create the conditions in our country and the
conditions necessary to use any thoughtful
solutions to our social problems
[Malek Bennabi (1905-1973)]
Examination
standard questions PMR and SPM is
not so far behind compared to the
questions PISA and TIMSS. Hence
would be expect if students in PISA
and TIMSS failed then logically would
not get excellent results in PMR and
SPM. So, whether PMR and SPM grades
were lowered to show excellent
results?
Malaysia questions are totally based
on examination
A Chance for Students
Early reports Education Development Plan (2013-2025 PPPM), the issue of students with special needs (students last class, poor children, orphans, and aboriginal minority) only mentioned in chapter 3 of the current performance, the quality of education and equity in education but not dealt with in chapter 8 of implementation and action plan.
students who achieved excellent results and unfortunately more focused on monitoring students less intelligent intentionally or not, made a second priority.
Most worrying, more than half of Malaysian students (51.8%) do not reach basic proficiency levels in Mathematics (i.e. Below Level 2).
Conflict
Malaysia Educational Policy
for Teaching Science and
Mathematics in Malay
VS
TIMSS AND PISA TEST IN ENGLISH
LANGUAGE
Unfair
For those students who study mathematics
and science in either English or Malay only.
PISA and TIMSS should be in double languages
due to Malaysia specific national situation.
Students are under stress due to too much
subjects and curriculum.
PISA Ranking in 2012
The distribution of PISA
scores and homework time
Unrealistic
Ranking doesn’t mean effective.
ShangHai-China scored NO.1 due to the cost of 13 hours per week in their homework. This also scored No.1 in all the countries.
Korea only cost 3 hours and it’s last second of all the countries, therefore, its PISA ranking in 2012 is NO.5.
More homework = better result ???
or Which one is more effective ???
Incomparable
Due to the population, educational distribution,
and national policy etc. reasons. It’s hard to be investigated for some specific country about its educational academic level. It’s related to the educational system, coverage, efficiency.
-- The only thing can be compared is the academic contribution of a country. It shouldn’t be join test such as TIMSS or PISA and make conclusions based on such reports.
That’s an unbalanced view.
CONCLUSION
It can’t say that join TIMSS and PISA
can be helpful for improving national
academic education level.
Study is not for ranking. Losing the real
meaning or purpose of study while
students pursue the ranking only.
It’s not essential for joining TIMSS and
PISA without progressive the national
development and academic education
during the time.
