The PISA Results in Mathematics and Science: A comparison between Israel and Turkey

Hanna David Yazar Soyadı¹

Abstract: Comparing the PISA 2012 achievements of Turkey and Israel in Mathematics and science has been an intriguing challenge. Israel was one of the first 12 countries taking part in the first International Mathematics assessment: The TIMSS 1963/4; it had the best achievements both in grade 4 and 8 (ibid). Turkey started participating in International evaluations only in 1999. Since the 1963/4 first international examinations, the Israeli situation has changed substantially by the 80ies, and not in any desirable direc… Show more

Students' competencies in clinical practice is vital in health sciences. Clinical simulation is one approach used to support students' learning in clinical practice. There is a lack of research on clinical simulation in acupuncture programmes in the African context. This paper explored the experiences of students' views towards clinical simulation in the acupuncture programme to strengthen clinical teaching using the Technological Pedagogical Content Knowledge Framework as a theoretical lens. A qualitative research approach with an interpretivist paradigm was adopted. A single case study design was selected. Six undergraduate students voluntarily agreed to participate. The data were analysed inductively using the thematic analysis approach. Findings revealed that students were optimistic about clinical simulation because it assisted them in their practice. The findings highlighted students' views regarding the lack of knowledge and skills among instructors and poor infrastructure. The study also found that students gained more confidence in the clinical simulation since they were aware that the patients are not harmed. It is recommended that clinical simulation should be included and standardised in the acupuncture curriculum. To improve clinical simulation, the authors recommended that clinical simulations should be carefully planned and coordinated; training facilities needed upgrading to accommodate Covid-19 regulations and a detailed handbook on clinical simulation should be developed to standardise the simulation process.

This chapter summarizing the situation of teaching mathematics to the gifted elementary-and high school student in Israel. It surveys the various frames of learning: formal learning in the regular and in the gifted class, and the learning of math in the enrichment programs for the gifted-both in the Hebrew an in the Arab sectors. The second part of this chapter summarizes all the existing nonformal programs-acceleration as well as enrichment-for the mathematically gifted child and adolescent. It includes descriptions of these programs, their target audience, the subject learnt in them and the level of studying, the prerequisites-if any, and the contribution to the students in terms of contents as well as certificates or diplomas. The third part of the chapter deals with the contradiction between the well-developed are of learning high level mathematics for gifted students on one side and the comparatively low achievements of Israeli best students in the International examinations-TIMSS and PISA-on the other.

This study aims to describe the ability of students' mathematical connections in solving problems in the circle equation material through transposition studies. The method in this research is a descriptive qualitative approach, the techniques used in the study are tests, interviews, and documentation to explore data in research. Test and interview techniques were carried out in order to find out more about the ability of connections and generate knowledge about the transposition in making mathematical problem solving designs. The test is given to 3 students who have high ability, medium ability and low ability. Analysis of the data in this study is through the provision of problem solving tests and interviews using time triangulation, which provides tests and interviews for each student with a different time. The results in this study indicate that highly capable subjects have excellent mathematical connections and didactic knowledge is well utilized and able to provide alternative answers that differ from researchers so that a didactic transposition is formed, that is knowledge to be taught with knowledge, subjects of mathematical ability are able understand the problem well but are not careful enough in solving problem so that previous knowledge is underutilized, the subject of low mathematical ability is not able to understand the problem well and is unable to solve problems in the form of algebra so that the initial knowledge possessed is not well connected.
