Interview: Forscher: „Selbst wenn Meta nachts Instagram abschaltet, soll niemand glauben, dass die Pisa-Leistungen explodieren“

Professor Köller urged that despite Meta potentially shutting down Instagram at night, no one should believe that Germany's Pisa performances would skyrocket. The nation's educational system continues to struggle, with students performing poorly in reading, arithmetic, and natural sciences. Specifically, 32% of 15-year-olds fall below the minimum reading level, while 34% underperform in mathematics.

These students struggle to read fluidly and comprehend meaning, and their mathematical abilities are comparable to those of sixth-graders. The government must significantly invest in improving the quality of education, particularly in pedagogical methods and task culture, as well as incorporating digital tools like intelligent tutoring systems to support students in their work.
