U.S. students' math scores plunge in global education assessment​

December 5 2023

​

U.S. students lag behind their peers in many industrialized countries when it comes to math, according to the results of a global exam released Tuesday.
Why it matters: U.S. students saw a 13-point drop in their 2022 Programme for International Student Assessment (PISA) math results when compared to the 2018 exam.

• The 2022 math score was not only lower than it was in 2012 but it was "among the lowest ever measured by PISA in mathematics" for the U.S., per the Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD) country note.

Zoom in: While the U.S. scored below the OECD average in math, it managed to score above the OECD average in reading and science.

• The 2022 results found that U.S. students scored one point below their 2018 reading score and three points below their 2018 science score. However, their performances in those areas were higher than in 2012.

The 2018 PISA assessment found that U.S. students straggled behind their peers in East Asia and Europe, per the Washington Post.
What they're saying: In a statement Tuesday responding to the latest results, Education Sec. Miguel Cardona praised the U.S. for moving up in the world rankings but acknowledged "there's much work to be done."

• "We need a math revolution," Cardona said, noting that "math is critical to our global competitiveness and leadership."

Context: PISA examines the proficiency of 15-year-olds in reading, mathematics, and science worldwide.

• The 2022 PISA edition is the first to take place since the pandemic and compares the test results of nearly 700,000 students across 81 OECD member states and partner economies.
• The exam, coordinated by the OECD, was first administered in 2000 and is conducted every three years. Due to the COVID-19 pandemic, the 2021 test was delayed until 2022.

The big picture: 31 countries and economies maintained or improved upon their 2018 math scores, including Switzerland and Japan. Countries that did so shared some common characteristics, including shorter school closures during the pandemic and fewer impediments to remote learning, per the report.

• 10 countries and economies — Canada, Denmark, Finland, Hong Kong, Ireland, Japan, Korea, Latvia, Macao and the U.K. — saw their students score proficiently in all three domains and had "high levels of socio-economic fairness," per the report.

State of play: Multiple studies have highlighted the adverse and stark impact of the pandemic on education.

• One study released earlier this year found that elementary and middle schoolers in the U.S. need months of extra schooling to close pandemic-induced gaps.
• Reading and math scores for elementary school and middle school students have plunged in the wake of the pandemic.
• Data released earlier this year as part of the Nation's Report Card found that U.S. history scores among middle schoolers also plummeted last year to their lowest level ever recorded since the assessment began in 1994.

What to watch: The 2025 PISA assessment will focus on science and have a new foreign language test.

Americans live shorter , students dumber.

 

[Menthol]

China didn't participate in 2022, because the school was closed because of Covid-19.

Too bad.


I don't know what is the USA's Whites scores.

But on average USA scores are falling because there are less Whites students each year.

What we see today for 15 years students, we can predict the future of USA 20-30 years later, when these students grow up and run the country.

 

[beijingwalker]

It's always an easy win for the Chinese students, whenever they go, others can only compete for the second best.

Poor whites of US and Europe are suffering because of invasion of china and third world .

43% are students with immigrant background.

Immigrant students destroy USA's PISA score.

But it's funny, on average USA's reading score is improving from the previous test, which means these immigrant students are good in English.

Thanks to the internet, a lot of children know English because of internet and videogames.

CCP has defeated and subjugated china . Chinese children are robots of ccp .

 

[Menthol]

For Singapore the case is different.

Immigrant students perform better than the local in math.

But have a problem in reading (in English).

It turns out for math, the local Singaporean students are dumber.

Mainly Mexicans and Indians

Indians rank as third-largest illegal immigrant population in US: Data

lol, sure, Instead of sending every child to college, CCP should teach our kids to be cow pee drinkers.

"Malnutrition" affected 3rd world countries students as compared Western one

a report of Forbes i read as below:
.
=>

When statistical adjustments are used to convert the backward digit span results to full-scale IQ scores, Indian Americans place at about 112 on a bell-shaped IQ distribution, with white Americans at 100. 112 is the 79th percentile of the white distribution. For more context, consider that Ashkenazi Jews are a famously intelligent ethnic group, and their mean IQ is somewhere around 110.

There is nothing inevitable about immigration. Who immigrates each year is a policy decision, free to be modified at any time by Congress. Constructing new legislation is always difficult, but I propose a simple starting point for immigration selection: Anyone who can spell guerdon is in!

Doesn't really matter. The US is still the leader in almost every pioneering tech and entrepreneurship.

For now...

PISA test is very important because it can predict the future.

Today mismanagement will affect the future of a country.

20-40 years later, these 15 years old students will be the people who run the country, they will be 35-55 years old.


It's not just about testing the school subject, but also psychologically as well, the behavior of the students.

With all of those factors, we can predict their future.

Not really, that is what they want people to believe

No.

China made progress but US is still the leader in almost all fields.

No.

You can keep that belief, it doesn't matter, studies were conducted year long by professionals, they wouldn't do a year long research and just bring out BS.

Even American tech professionals themselves no longer believe they are still the leader in science and technology
