delete notes until sixth will not take place: Najat Vallaud-Belkacem aside the recommendation of the National Conference on student assessment, the jury awarded its Friday copy and arbitrate on other recommendations in April.
He has “never been about delete notes,” reiterated Minister of Education to the press. She wants to go to “a positive assessment of student learning,” which “tells them what they know and what they do not know yet,” this “is needed to know.”
The report of the Conference on student assessment held in December “is an important building block,” said the minister, who will also be based on the proposals of the High Council Program (CSP) as a common set of project knowledge, skills and culture, and the results of consultation with teachers on this base project.
“The report is already buried”
By Friday, the entourage of Najat Vallaud-Belkacem assured that it would not follow the recommendation abandonment numerical scores until the sixth. In practice, students are often already assessed differently (letters, color codes …) and students graded on 20 from the college.
“The report is already buried,” laments in a statement SE-Unsa second union education. For the physicist Stephen Klein, president of the jury of the conference, the real problem is not to replace the notes by another measuring system, letters or smileys, we could always convert back encrypted notes, but “how-to ensure that students, whatever their level, to want to learn and progress. ” In other words, rather than just putting 12 of 20, explain what needs to be done to reach 15.
The jury, composed half of users of education and half professionals, recommends distinguish the “formative” evaluation (during learning) and “summative” assessment (to verify the achievements). Summative evaluation, regular but less frequent formative assessment “would occur at specific times”, the “waypoints”. Its timing would be “known to all stakeholders and would be appropriate” if “special needs students require” especially for children with disabilities, the report said.
The error “even fuel Training”
If a student “makes a bad entry in ‘, it should not influence the final evaluation of its achievements since it ends up perfectly meet the goals, “argued the jury, for whom the error is” the same training fuel. ” He thus argues for an “individual progress contract” with the creation of a “national digital booklet and cycle monitoring”, giving particular identify proficiency levels, of organizing learning and the best way to achieve.
Noting “very heterogeneous uses the notation” (frequency notes, taking into account or not homework …), the jury recommends a “harmonization” for that ” place and role of the rating are similar in all schools. “
From the fifth to the third, the report proposes references grids with levels and a monitoring booklet, removing” irrelevant the average of principle. ” No more so to compensate for a 5 French by a 15 in math. Oral, conducting projects or group work should be taken into account. In high school he evokes a “more traditional notation,” in “, however preserving the link with the skills, the distinction between formative and summative assessment, and some vis-à-vis the average principle of prudence.”
While in for evaluation “everyone believes to be spontaneously competent”, it would also sensitize teachers to the biases that have been shown in research during their initial training and ongoing. The methods and criteria used to evaluate should finally be clearly explained to families.
