How are the final grades for the year? This question excites not only the students themselves, but also their parents. Let's talk about those regulatory documents that Russian teachers use in their work.
Local acts
Each educational institution adopts its own Regulation, according to which the final grades for the year, for a quarter are put. It contains detailed instructions that teachers use in their work.
In addition to the General Regulation, there are special additions and explanations for which the final grades for the year in primary school, middle management, at the senior level of education are set.
The instruction is mandatory for all teachers who teach a specific discipline.
For a quarter marks are put from the second half of the year in grade 2 to grade 9 inclusive. Evaluation of students at the senior level (10-11 grades) is carried out only for six months.
Current rating
How are grades for the year billed for six months? Consider in detail the algorithm of the teacher.
The teacher in the process of conducting a training session checks the knowledge and skills of his students, puts current marks in an electronic journal.
For each type of work: an oral story, written test work, practical experiments, defense of abstracts, a separate column is provided in the electronic diary. Weekly monitoring of current grades is carried out by the class teacher and students' parents. The final grades for the year should not be influenced by the behavior of children during training sessions and extracurricular activities.
Half Year Evaluation
Grades made by a teacher in his subject to high school students should be reasonable and timely. During the reporting period, the child should be given at least three grades for disciplines taught once a week, and at least five for subjects with a teaching load of 2 hours per week.
About two weeks before the end of six months, the teacher brings information about preliminary grades to the class teacher. Marks are set according to the dates indicated in the school order drawn up by the head of the educational institution.
After the introduction of the electronic diary, the teacher no longer needs to look for the arithmetic average, summing up all the marks of the student, and then dividing the figure by the number of ratings. In Russian schools, an electronic journal has been used in which these actions are performed automatically. Depending on which answer was checked, it affects the total score differently. For example, upon receipt of an unsatisfactory mark for the final test, the average weighted score for a half-year is automatically reduced. And the student will not be able to count on the presentation of "excellent."
How is the grade for the year set if the disputable mark is obtained based on the results of two half-years? This issue is explained in detail in the new educational standards.
If after carrying out mathematical operations the mark “3.4” is obtained, then in this case the teacher sets “satisfactory”. Upon receiving a score of 3.6, the child receives a mark of "good." GEF indicates rounding the mark towards the student, regardless of the level of training.
Annual grades
Let's try to find out how the grade for the year at school is set. For junior and middle school students use quarter marks, which are taken into account when deriving the annual. In high school, grades for half a year are taken into account, on their basis, by calculating the arithmetic average, the final result is obtained.
If an integer is obtained, then in this case the grade for the year is set in favor of the student. In the event of a dispute, all control and verification work is taken into account. Parents have the right to express their disagreement in writing with the mark put on his child. In this case, a special commission is created in the educational institution by order of the director, which checks the correctness of the teacher’s actions.
If the teacher complied with all the requirements of the instruction adopted in this educational institution, the parents receive a motivated written response, and the finished assessment does not change. If the commission identifies violations when setting the mark, it is adjusted, which is also notified to the parents or legal representatives of the student.
Summary marks
In addition to quarterly, semi-annual grades, final grades are also set in final grades. What should be taken into account? If the child does not choose the final certification in the ninth grade (a unified state exam in the 11th grade) in this academic discipline, the final mark duplicates the annual assessment.
When the final result is displayed for the children who passed the exam in the subject, the obtained score is summed up with the annual score, the arithmetic mean value is displayed. How to put grades for the year, as well as marks in the certificate?
If the resulting number is not integral, rounding is done in favor of the student.
In controversial situations, an oral or written verification of the quality of knowledge of the student in that subject that has become the subject of conflict is prescribed. The decision of the study commission is drawn up in the form of a special protocol and is final.
Grading system
Many parents try to understand how grades are given for the year. Grade 2 involves assessment only from the second half of the year. The development of academic disciplines is accompanied by intermediate control, final certification.
An intermediate test of knowledge is a separate element in assessing the achievements of students, it is not associated with current performance.
Current control is a systematic verification of the educational achievements of students. The teacher uses it in the course of conducting educational activities according to thematic planning.
The main purpose of such a test of knowledge is to control the level of educational achievements of students, which are provided for by the program for this academic discipline, to analyze the compliance of the results with educational standards, and the implementation of self-esteem by students. Based on the results, the teacher plans to adjust knowledge and skills, builds individual development paths for each student.
The results of the current control are recorded on a five-point scale. In some educational institutions, the pedagogical council decides to evaluate current knowledge in the form of a "set-off" or "non-set-off."
Individual training
Recently, the number of schoolchildren who study under individual programs has increased. Fixation of their universal educational skills is carried out in full accordance with the curriculum developed for a particular child. If the student has serious health problems, inclusive education is organized for him. For example, using Skype, the teacher communicates with the child, conducts training sessions for him, and checks the completion of homework.
The teacher has the right to think over his own version of the grades for the current control, but the final grades are set according to the same rules as for other students. In the case of controversial marks for a quarter, half a year or a year, the average value between all estimates is determined, and the final score is put in favor of the child.
Important points
In the first grades of Russian schools, new federal standards use spotless instruction.
When conducting elective and elective courses in the middle and senior level, they choose the credit system.
The assessment option is indicated in the course program and is brought to the attention of students, their parents. It is also pre-approved at the pedagogical council.
If the academic discipline does not have a special manual, then as a test, the teacher can offer children creative tasks. Such a system is suitable for such subjects and courses where it is difficult to express the result of training with the help of the classical five-point scale.
Finally
Despite the innovative transformations that have affected Russian education in recent years, the grading system is still an effective tool in the work of educators. In the lesson, the teacher conducts a frontal, individual survey, and puts notes in an electronic journal.
In case of conducting test test work, initially, all schoolchildren are informed of the criteria by which the "test" will be set. In addition, students may be offered test questions, the correct answers to which will give them the right to receive a "credit" at the estimated rate.
Currently, there is a heated debate between supporters and opponents of a five-point system for assessing the educational achievements of students. Some teachers offer to completely abandon the grading system in high school, replacing it with test tasks. Despite such tempting offers, so far in Russian education a five-point version of the assessment of educational achievements of students is used.
