The Department of Education wants to remove them. Experts denounce a communication operation.
All “docimologues” understand “specialists Notes”, France gave themselves go to National conference on evaluation that began Thursday at the National School of Arts and Crafts. Experts and scientists present their work for two days before a jury chaired by a physicist Stephen Klein. For this beautiful machine, the case is heard, the notes are unfair, random, ineffective or “malicious” and “perverse”
This finding is all the more compelling, according to Antoine Prost, historian education that even Alain Peyrefitte, a minister “who was not really a sixty-eighter leftist” had tried – unsuccessfully -. to end the notes
The main criticisms on Notes encrypted come from them randomness. The researcher Bruno Suchaut had demonstrated in 2007 by submitting three copies ferry to the correction of some thirty professors of economics that there for each dissertation, very strong variations. The notes are not a reliable measure of the level of education, summarizes docimologue Pierre Merle. In its work, the latter considers that the rating is based on a kind of “tinkering” teachers who seek both to prevent discouragement of the weak, encourage strong, limiting the challenge in their class, etc.
Biases are also linked to gender, age and social origin. For copies of the same quality, girls and children of managers are better rated than boys and children of workers. Copies placed at the beginning of a packet are rated more leniently.
Another problem definitely would lock the note “bad” student in the class of the weak. For the historian Antoine Prost, and the note is “totally perverse because it is made for the placement of students who know. But it is not done to improve the learning of students who do not yet know. “The current system breaks those most in need of encouragement, yet says Pierre Merle, who concedes disadvantages to abandonment a numerical rating. If “bad” students and students ‘average’ is generally welcome an evaluation system less stigmatizing, good students tend to regret the encrypted note. They are disappointed, “because they are no longer recognized as a good student.” Another pitfall for bad parents comfortable with the French, include an assessment of skills and multiple annotations is not as simple as a note … Defender of the current system, the polemicist John Paul Brighelli literature teacher in high school T hiers Marseille – who is not invited to the conference – even says that the competency evaluation is an “incomprehensible gas plant.” Especially after preparatory classes and merit scholarships, by attacking the notes, “the government attacks the good students. It is always the same logic, “he says. “No teacher has ever wanted to use the notes to shame. The rating is only an indicator of the difficulties of a student at a time T. “Students” spend their time to compare. But competition, it comes from them, not us. They live in a competitive world. What is going to happen when they are faced with the reality out of this benevolent system? The Harder They Fall. “
The clear preference of the members of the society of associate professors for the numerical score” is due to its simplicity, accuracy, and the realization that it is the system adopted for exams, “adds White Lochmann, president of this company. The current discourse on the note would mask the “real problems” such of those teachers whose schedules reduced and would have less time to explain their rating. “It’s a problem that falls under the notation that teaching conditions. But it is easier to organize a communication operation on evaluation. “She will give birth Mountain still a mouse? Even Pierre Merle invited to this great ministerial rout, acknowledges that “consider the notes, it is cheap and it feels buzz. Reduce the number of students per classroom PTA is more complex. “
