Methodological online workshop “Using effective methods while preparing for PISA international study”

On March 24, 2022, as part of the spring holiday school, Shygys Regional Center of Education Administration of East Kazakhstan region held an online methodological workshop “Using effective methods while preparing for PISA international study”.

The goal of the workshop is to exchange experience on the forms and methods to improve learners' mathematical skills by solving PISA problems.
The event was attended by teachers of Mathematics and Physics of secondary schools of the region, participating in PISA-2022.

The speakers of the workshop, who shared their experience were:

Balzam M. Sakhariyeva, a teacher of Mathematics of Sh. Ualikhanov School-lyceum No. 3 of Education Department of Ust-Kamenogorsk city of Education Administration of East Kazakhstan region on “Matematika sabagynda okushylardyn funktsyonaldyk sauattylygyn damytu”;

Karlygash A. Olzhakhanova, a teacher of Mathematics of School-Lyceum No. 22 of Education Department of Semey city of Education Administration of East Kazakhstan region on “Matematika panіnen okushylardyn funktsyonaldyk sauattylygyn arttyru аdіs-tasіlderdin koldanyluy”;

Natalya G. Anokhina, a teacher of Physics of Regional Specialized School for Children Gifted in Mathematics, Physics, Computer Science of Education Administration of East Kazakhstan region on “Forming functional literacy in Physics classes as a condition to develop schoolchildren’s key skills”;

Zina K. Kadirova, a teacher of Physics of Secondary School No. 47 of Education Department of Ust-Kamenogorsk city of Education Administration of East Kazakhstan region on “Zharatylystanu-gylymi sauattylyk: sabakta oku maksattaryna saikes tapsyrmalar koldanu”.  

During the workshop, the speakers shared their practices on how to form and develop learners’ skills in working with data for solving problems presented in the form of tables, graphs, creating a mathematical model of a real situation, applying Mathematics and Physics in financial contexts.

The workshop was followed by feedback where the participants noted the relevance and practical significance of the topic of the workshop and received methodological recommendations for further use in their practice.  

Moderator: Aigul Kh. Zhelpakova, a methodologist in Mathematics, Physics, Computer Science of Learning Content and Education Quality Monitoring Unit of Shygys Regional Center of Education Administration of East Kazakhstan region.
