The 2022 results of the Program for International Student Assessment (PISA) implemented by the Organization for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD) revealed that students in Turkey are more ready for digital learning than their peers in OECD countries.
According to the PISA 2022 report, while the average school average in OECD countries reporting a lack of digital resources was 24 percent, this rate was approximately 13 percent for Turkey.
In both Turkey and OECD countries, the rate of students lacking digital resources in disadvantaged schools was higher than in other schools.
Jamaica had the highest percentage with 82 percent, and Singapore had the lowest percentage in this field with 1,5 percent.
While the OECD average of the digital learning readiness index is 0,02, this value was calculated as 0,37 for Turkey. In the research results, this data means that “Turkey is more ready for digital learning compared to the OECD.” evaluation was made.
The countries with the highest index values in this field are Qatar, the United Arab Emirates and the Philippines, and the countries with the lowest index values are Japan, Greece and Argentina.
The presence of online learning support platforms is effective
The research also revealed that the improvement in digital learning readiness is linked to “online learning support platforms”. According to the research results, the impact of these platforms on recovery was 78 percent in OECD countries and 91 percent in Turkey.
In both OECD countries and Turkey, the rate of teachers having the necessary technical and pedagogical competence to use digital devices in education was recorded as 88 percent.
In Turkey, 100 out of 89 teachers reported finding effective professional resources for learning how to use digital devices. This rate was 76 percent for the OECD.
Attendance rate in pre-school education
In the research, it was seen that in OECD countries, 15 percent of students in the 57-year-old group attended pre-school education for 3 years or more, 24 percent for 2 years, and 14 percent for 1 year.
In Turkey, out of every 100 students participating in the research, 44 reported that they received one year of pre-school education, 21 reported that they received two years, and 11 reported that they received three years or more of pre-school education.
The average number of students attending pre-school education for one year or more was 76 percent in Turkey and 94 percent in OECD countries.
When compared to students who never attended pre-school education or attended pre-school education for less than a year in Turkey, it was observed that students who received 1 year of pre-school education performed 30 points better, those who received 2 years of education performed 29 points better, and students who received 3 years or more of education performed 15 points better.
