According to Volynets, such a grading system would be appropriate within the framework of these subjects.
“I think that the vast majority of parents support this initiative, because creative directions are very difficult to evaluate in terms of qualitative and quantitative indicators. How to evaluate that the child sang wonderful, drew a good picture? At a physical education lesson, you can measure, for example, the number of squats, but, given that the overall level of physical fitness of our children, unfortunately, is decreasing, many children are not able to fulfill the standards for high marks, and the certificate suffers, ”she said.
The expert explained that the student will be more diligent if he does not have the fear of getting a bad grade.
“In order to reduce the level of stress ... it is necessary to correctly introduce the concepts of“ credit ”and“ non-credit ”in a timely manner, and not introduce an assessment criterion,” Volynets believes.
In her opinion, it is unfair to evaluate a child’s abilities in creative objects.
“A lot depends not only on the child’s inclination and talent, but also on the teacher’s ability to show and tell the material. It is unfair to compare children in these creative processes, because creativity is something that creativity is self-expression, ”the expert concluded.
Earlier, the Minister of Education of Russia Olga Vasilyeva came up with the idea to reform the grading system in school certificates and add grades offset and non-score.
