How to best shape effective learning and teaching?
15 October 2014, Santiago
Andreas Schleicher
2 2 Quantitative expansion is the easy part
The dilemma for educators
The kinds of things that are easy to teach and test are also easy to digitise,
automate and outsource

Mean mathematics performance, by school location, after accounting for socio-economic status Fig II.3.3 4 4 Most teachers value 21st century pedagogies…
Percentage of lower secondary teachers who "agree" or "strongly agree" that:
0 10 20 30 40 50 60 70 80 90 100
Students learn best by finding solutions to problems on theirown
Thinking and reasoning processes are more important thanspecific curriculum content
Students should be allowed to think of solutions to practicalproblems themselves before the teacher shows them how they
are solved
My role as a teacher is to facilitate students' own inquiry
Chile Average
0 20 40 60 80 100
Students work on projects that require at least one week tocomplete
Students use ICT for projects or class work
Give different work to the students who have difficultieslearning and/or to those who can advance faster
Students work in small groups to come up with a jointsolution to a problem or task
Let students practice similar tasks until teacher knows thatevery student has understood the subject matter
Refer to a problem from everyday life or work to demonstratewhy new knowledge is useful
Check students' exercise books or homework
Present a summary of recently learned content

the approach to heterogeneity in the student body… … as opposed to a belief that students have different
destinations to be met with different expectations, and selection/stratification as the approach to heterogeneity

A mentor is appointed to help teachers improve his/her teaching
A development or training plan is established to improve theirwork as a teacher
