Assessing educational progress: A comparative analysis of PISA results (2018 vs. 2022) and HDI correlation in the Philippines

Abstract

The Philippines took part in PISA 2018 and 2022 conducted by OECD. Filipino students are still among the least proficient in math, reading, and science. Its performance did not significantly improve from the assessment in 2018. Through statistical analysis design, the PISA score (2018 and 2022) was compared to all countries' PISA scores and correlated to HDI in the Philippines, with the use of T-test and Pearson r. Results showed that there is a notable variation in the Philippines' PISA score compared to all countries participating in PISA. In addition, there is a robustly positive correlation between the PISA score and the HDI in the Philippines.
