READING LITERACY is the
students’ capacity to
understand, use, evaluate,
reflect on and engage with texts
in order to achieve one’s goals,
develop one’s knowledge and
potential, and participate in
society. DEPARTMENT OF EDUCATION

10
MATHEMATICS LITERACY
is the students’ capacity
to formulate, employ and
interpret mathematics in a
variety of contexts.

11
SCIENCE LITERACY is
the students’ ability to
engage with science-
related issues, and with
the ideas of science, as a
reflective citizen.

Students are categorized by their
proficiency level as:
• High Performers are students who
are proficient at Level 5 or above
• Middle Performers are students who
are proficient at Levels 2 to 4
• Low Performers are students who
are below Level 2 proficiency

Why Philippines ranked
last in READING among
79 countries?

18
Assessment in Reading was mainly on
INFORMATION LITERACY:
The learners were asked to:
• Locate information – access and
retrieve information within a text.
• Understand – comprehending the
meaning of information in a text.
• Evaluate & Reflect – evaluate
whether the information in a text
is valid, current, reliable, etc.
19
Our learners are only exposed to the
following type of texts:
DESCRIPTIVE TEXTS
- provide an answer to “WHAT”
questions.
NARRATIVE TEXTS
- provide answers to “WHEN” or “in
what sequence and “WHERE”
Examples: Reports, News Stories,
Novels and Short Stories

20
…not this type of texts
INSTRUCTION TEXTS
- provides instructions on what to do
TRANSACTION TEXTS
- aims to achieve a purpose
EXPOSITION TEXTS
- provides answers to “HOW” questions
ARGUMENT TEXTS
- provide answers to “WHY” questions
In our country, READING is taught
DEPARTMENT OF EDUCATION
using Descriptive and Narrative Texts.
21
21st Century Learning requires a lot of
INFORMATION to be gathered and
processed.

Example: Analyzing a News Article

- the teacher should demonstrate the
strategy.
- teach the learners with the texts
structure e.g. where do you find the
essential element of the news.

22
- give another texts which is parallel
to the previous and let the learners
process themselves with the
guidance of the teacher, then

- give them an independent practice

which is the test itself.

THE PROBLEM: Our learners who

took the PISA Test were not familiar
with the test itself.

23
Example:

Teacher: Make a
Reaction Paper
about the story
you read.

Learner: Ma’am,
this is my reaction
about the story
I read.

PISA Test is a Computer-Based
Assessment (CBA)
• administered from March to April
2018 using CBA mode.
• the Student Delivery System was
duplicated in USB flash drives
which were distributed to the
schools.
• designed to last for two hours, with
one hour for the Reading Literacy
Assessment.

INFORMATIONAL TEXTS may be
introduced starting in Grade 4.
DIGITAL TEXTS is one of the aspects
which PISA tested.
- Our learners are not yet equipped
with the necessary skills on
evaluating the credibility of the
texts.
- Our learners are sharing messages in
social media without validating its
credibility. No discernment (“Think
before you click”)

In PISA Assessment, reading no longer
centers on extracting information.
It is about constructing knowledge,
thinking critically and making well-
founded judgments.
• What do you do with what you know.
• What can you do with what you know.
• What will you do with what you know.
• What you are trying to do with what
you know.
