Educational Leadership and Creative Strategies in Education

The Programme for International Student Assessment (PISA) is a triennial study by the
Organization for Economic Co-Operation and Development (OECD) which evaluates 15-
year olds’ proficiency levels in Reading Comprehension, Science and Mathematics.
Results of PISA 2018 showed that out of 79 countries, the Philippines ranked lowest in
Reading Comprehension and second lowest in Science and Mathematics. The next
PISA will be in 2021. As a MED Educational Leadership student, what reforms can you
suggest to improve our ranking? What creative strategies can you suggest to support
your recommended reforms?

Educational Statistics

1. Two applicants are competing for an encoding job which requires a high degree of accuracy. Under time
pressure they are not allowed to edit their work before printing a hard copy. Samples of their work are studied
to measure the number of typing errors. They make per page. The results are as follows:

Encoder A: 2, 0, 3, 0, 5, 8, 10
Encoder B: 3, 2, 4, 3, 5, 5, 6

Find the mean and the standard deviation of the number of typing errors each encoder committed.
Compare the variability of these two sets of data and interpret results. Based on these data, which
encoder should be hired? Support your answer.

2. Is there a significant difference between the level of performance of the pupils in Science using
Practical Work Strategy in the pre-test and the post-test?

Evaluation Models and Methods

In the teaching-learning process we conduct evaluation. Teacher Jasmine found out
that her class achievement rate in the core subjects is quite low. She has made the
necessary intervention but still there was no improvement. Being an educational leader,
help Teacher Jasmine along the aspect of instruction and evaluation so that her class
achievement rate will improve meeting the standards.
