Reacties (en uitvluchten) van Finse beleidsverantwoordelijken op achteruitgang op
PISA-2012 (wiskunde)

Finland falls from
PISA top ten - computer games and parents are blamed (not our teacher education
as in times of PISA success)
De auteur stelt o.a. dat de beleidsmakers destijds de hoge
PISA-score op naam schreven van het Fins onderwijsmirakel. Nu zoeken ze de al
te graag de oorzaken (uitvluchten) van de lagere PISA-score (en de zwakke leerprestaties van de
15-jarigen volgens recente studie van de universiteit van Helsinki ) in
evoluties buiten het onderwijs.

Finland falls from PISA top ten - computer games and parents
are blamed (not our teacher education as in times of PISA success) Now it's
official - Finland falls from PISA-list, the source of all hype around Finnish
education system. The report is to be published on Tuesday, but the press has
accessed the report. According to the largest Finnish newspaper Helsingin
Sanomat, mainly Asian countries and Estonia have dropped Finland from top-10 of
PISA.
Why did this happen? In other magazine, the editor-in-chief
of Finnish Teacher-magazine blames the parents of the children and one emeritus
professor blames computer games and internet. Duh. The other PISA countries
don't have internet or smartphones, right?
There is still one voice of reason: in the same article,
professor Kirsti Lonka compares Finnish school to Nokia: it was good but but we
just relied on the fact and did nothing despite the world has changed.
Nevertheless, there
probably is no single reason for the drop. Increasing child poverty might be
one reason, for example.
It's kind of funny that when Finland topped the PISA list,
the official reason was our schooling system and especially our teacher
education. Now, there is no word of them...
