Abstract

This work aims to analyze the Results of the PISA Tests for the year 2018 in the Dominican Republic as subministered every three year by the OECD presided over by Dr. Andreas Schleicher, and that it is long awaited both for the Ministry of Education-MINERD-, and as well as for the non-governmental society and the opposition parties, among others. This scenario which is not exclusively of our country puts on the table many questioning as that of, if the country shall continue as part of that program on the light that such testings have been hardly criticized in more developed countries, due to the fact that they consider that "the PISA Tests are damaging education all over the world" (The Guardian, 2014) as can be read in a letter sent to his director for more than 100 Scholars and Universities from the United States and Europe, based on purely academic issues, but also by their South American counterparts like MERCOSUR (South American Market Countries) and FLACSO (Latin American Faculty of Social Sciences), who stated not only academic reason but political matters in the best tradition of the Marxist militants to exit the program. The main purpose of this research lies in the fact of a thorough analysis purely based on the so-called Revised Bloom's Taxonomy, where those results for the year 2018 are contrasted with the fundamental principles of the above cited educational equation, in the Spanish Reading Comprehension Area. Needless to say also, that there is also a contrastive analysis on the socio political context of the Dominican educational system and of the different forces that today have an enormous influence in terms of policy making and of philosophical and epistemological viewpoints.
