▪ In Science, students have very limited scientific knowledge that<br />

can only be applied to a few familiar situations. They can present<br />

scientific explanations that follow explicitly from the given evidence,<br />

but will struggle to draw conclusions or make interpretations from<br />

simple investigations.<br />

Just as with TIMSS in 2007, the PISA 2009+ results also show<br />

that very few Malaysian students are performing at an Advanced<br />

level (approximately 0.1% for Reading, Mathematics, and Science)<br />

compared to the OECD countries (where almost 8% perform at this<br />

level). Performing at an Advanced level in PISA means:<br />

▪ In Reading, students are able to make multiple inferences,<br />

comparisons, and contrasts that are both detailed and precise. They<br />

are also able to develop critical evaluations or hypotheses, drawing<br />

on specialised knowledge;<br />

▪ In Mathematics, students are able to interpret more complex<br />

information, and negotiate a number of processing steps. They<br />

demonstrate insight in identifying a suitable solution strategy,<br />

and display other higher-order cognitive processes to explain or<br />

communicate results; and<br />
