Risk of test questions passing between
The mandatory assessment curve that solves the old uniform examination tests is not at all coordinated.
This is stated by Jón Pétur Zimsen, MP for the Independence Party and former principal and teacher, who speaks with Hólmfríður María Ragnhildardóttir in Day.
He believes the risk of the test bank that will be used in the assessment process will be in the hands of parents, who can get him by requesting him. There are examples of this with the Information Committee’s Appeals Committee in connection with the uniform survey exams.
Co -ordinated exams should be held and then the final examination
He also draws attention to the fact that the assessment curve test only part of the competency criteria that students should have adopted, and then only in Icelandic and mathematics.
Jón Pétur believes that a coordinated examination exams in the 4th, 7th and 9th grades must be held on the basis of the current compulsory school law.
At the same time, final exams from compulsory schools need to be held to maintain fairness between students.
Studies have, in the end, shown that without coordinated exams the students of certain schools, including from the countryside, in the assessment of their school grades at graduation. This has been refused to face the school authorities.
A four -week window
A bill on a new assessment, the so -called assessment process, is now being dealt with by the Assembly. His introduction was accelerated following the discussion of Morgunblaðið and mbl.is last year.
The minority in the General Affairs and Education Committee has submitted an opinion on the bill, which criticizes the compulsory part of the assessment process. Jón Peter has a seat there.
He points out that students have a four -week window to solve the compulsory assessment process. Thereby, there is a risk that test questions will be transmitted between schools.
« It is evaluating school, class, students, municipalities and the entire education system based on these exams. So there is a lot going on to achieve good results.
According to Jón Peter, the exams will remain unchanged between years, so that teachers will be aware of what questions will be raised there when they have been asked once.

Taught to the test
He says most people want to succeed, whether they are teachers, school administrators, students or parents.
According to Jón Peter, the exams will remain unchanged between years, so that teachers will be aware of what questions will be raised there when they have been asked once.
« Then it is very likely that you will teach the exam so that the results may be better than the material is available. And this should then be used to assess how schools stand, how children stand and how municipalities stand. There is no coordination in this and it is quite clear to everyone who wants to see. »
