WAP Rationale for HOTS-PLPs

• In 2018, the Programme for

International Student Assessment
(PISA) results suggested that most
Filipino students need more time to
be ready for life after school.

 • These areas of learners’ poor
performance were interestingly
identified in an analysis of teachers’
performance in the Teacher
Development Needs Study (TDNS,
2014).
Training on Higher-Order Thinking Skills PLP 13 13
• The poor assessment results for
Filipino learners necessitate a reform
initiative directed at supporting the
strengthening of teachers’ subject
knowledge and pedagogy to improve
learner performance.
Training on Higher-Order Thinking Skills PLP 14 14
WAP Rationale for HOTS-PLPs

To assist in this reform initiative, the

National Educators Academy of the
Philippines (NEAP) and the Research
Center for Teacher Quality (RCTQ)
collaborate to develop Professional
Learning Packages (PLPs) in
Mathematics, Science, and
English/Reading for teachers in
grades 7 and 8, and grades 9 and 10.

II. Background and Rationale of WAP

In 2018, the Programme for International Student Assessment (PISA) results suggested that
most Filipino students need more time to be ready for life after school. These areas of
learners’ poor performance were interestingly identified in an analysis of teachers’
performance in the Teacher Development Needs Study (TDNS, 2014). The poor
assessment results for Filipino learners, there, necessitate a reform initiative directed at
supporting the strengthening of teachers’ subject knowledge and pedagogy to improve
learner performance.

To assist in thiss reform initiative, the National Educators Academy of the Philippines
(NEAP) and the Research Center for Teacher Quality (RCTQ) collaborate to develop
Professisonal Learning Packages (PLPs) in Mathematics, Science, and English/Reading for
teachers in grades 7 and 8, and grades 9 and 10.

II. Background and Rationale of WAP
The PD Program (HOTS-PLPs) goals are to:

• enhance teachers’ competencies in performing SOLO-based pedagogy; and

• Improve teachers’ teaching strategies and practices that promote the
development of higher order thinking skills of the learners.

The following professional standards/competencies are being address in the HOTS-

PLPs:

• address the appropriate indicators in the Philippine Professional Standards for

Teachers (PPST indicators 1.5.2 and 1.5.3); the Philippine Professional
Standards for Schools Heads (PPSSH indicator 3.2.2), and the Philippine
Professional Standards for Supervisors (PPSS indicator 3.1.2).
