V M From October 16 to October 19, 2018, the educational institution "Secondary School No. 2, Dergachi" held class parent meetings at which parents of school students were introduced to the schedule of educational training for the 2018-2019 academic year.
Why are VPRs needed in schools?
All-Russian testing is a new type of monitoring the level of educational achievements of students, first introduced in 2015. According to statistics, in 2018, 97% of educational institutions of the Russian Federation participated in the VPR, and already in the upcoming 2018-2019 academic year, the Ministry of Education and Science promises that control sections will be held in absolutely all schools in the country.
Many schoolchildren and parents express dissatisfaction with the ever-increasing number of different types of control, because every test, test or exam is a serious stress for children, teachers and parents. But, despite the ambiguous attitude towards additional checks, both on the part of students and on the part of teachers, there will be a VPR in 2019. Moreover, it is possible that the number of items submitted for control will increase. Arguing the need for such events, Rosobrnadzor emphasizes the fact that the conduct of educational training pursues several goals at once: Analysis of the level of training of students in different regions of the country. Standardization of requirements and development of uniform standards for students in different educational institutions of the country. Teaching quality control individual items. Monitoring the effectiveness of schools, gymnasiums and lyceums. Finding “weak” places in the curriculum and making changes that will help improve students’ knowledge on certain topics.

- Standardization of requirements and development of uniform standards for students in different educational institutions of the country.
- Quality control of teaching individual subjects.
- Monitoring the effectiveness of schools, gymnasiums and lyceums.
- Finding “weak” places in the curriculum and making changes that will help improve students’ knowledge on certain topics...
Although, other innovations are not excluded, because the organizers were not very pleased with the results of 2018, having identified numerous cases of inflated grades by teachers and administration of educational institutions.
What items fall under control in 2019?
Since 2015, the list of subjects in which the level of students’ knowledge is tested during the All-Russian verification work, is constantly growing. Thus, analyzing the schedule of VPR cuts drawn up for 2017 and 2018, we can assume that in 2019 there is a high probability of introducing new work for medium and high school. So, follow the news and be interested in what items will be included in VLOOKUP chart for the coming 2018-2019 school year, it costs teachers and parents of children who study in grades 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 10 and 11. 4th grade
D For 4th grade students, who are about to transition to secondary school, the All-Russian testing work in 2019 will be a mandatory cross-section of knowledge! Control of such subjects as: Russian language is expected; mathematics; the world. Test work in the Russian language, as in 2018, will take place in two stages - dictation and testing.
5th grade At the end of the school year, fifth-graders will have to demonstrate knowledge in the following four subjects: Russian language; mathematics; story; biology..
6th grade If a child graduates from the 6th grade in the 2018-2019 academic year, you should pay attention to what schedule of educational training will be drawn up for your educational institution, because the children will have to take 6 tests in such disciplines as: Russian language; mathematics; story; social science; biology; geography.
7th grade Since 7th grade students will be participating in the VPR for the first time this year, testing will be carried out for them in test mode. The preparation process will also be more difficult, because there are no previously developed tests and recommendations for seventh graders. Nevertheless, the following eight subjects will be tested in the 7th grade parallel: Russian language; mathematics; foreign language; story; social science; physics; biology; geography..
8th grade Just like seventh graders, 8th grade students will be tested in the approbation mode in 2019, but if possible, Rosobrnadzor plans to cover maximum amount educational institutions. VPR schedule for eighth graders in 2018-2019 academic year will include the same 8 subjects: Russian language; mathematics; foreign language; story; social science; physics; biology; geography.
Grade 10 Tenth graders are the luckiest of all - they will only have 1 subject tested - geography....
Grade 11 As preparation for the Unified State Exam, graduates are asked to write a VPR in 6 main subjects of the school curriculum: Russian language; mathematics; foreign language; story; physics; biology.
VPR schedule for 2019 The exact schedule of the educational program for the upcoming 2018-2019 academic year will be approved closer to the beginning of the new calendar year. For 4th grades, a week will be determined during which schools will be able to choose the optimal day for them to conduct testing....
On the eve of the new 2018-2019 school year, schoolchildren and parents are concerned about the question of what changes will affect the educational program, in which classes children will write test papers, whether new subjects will be included in the schedule and when the exam schedule for the main subjects will be drawn up.
Why are VPRs needed in schools?
All-Russian testing work - the new kind level control educational achievements students, first introduced in 2015. According to statistics, in 2018, 97% of educational institutions of the Russian Federation participated in the VPR, and already in the upcoming 2018-2019 academic year, the Ministry of Education and Science promises that control sections will be held in absolutely all schools in the country.
Many schoolchildren and parents express dissatisfaction with the ever-increasing number of different types of control, because every test, test or exam is a serious stress for children, teachers and parents. But, despite the ambiguous attitude towards additional checks, both on the part of students and on the part of teachers, there will be a VPR in 2019. Moreover, it is possible that the number of items submitted for control will increase.

- Standardization of requirements and development of uniform standards for students in different educational institutions of the country.
- Quality control of teaching individual subjects.
- Monitoring the effectiveness of schools, gymnasiums and lyceums.
- Finding “weak” places in the curriculum and making changes that will help improve students’ knowledge on specific topics.
Thus, VPR results in the 2018-2019 academic year are important not so much for the students themselves, but for teachers and school administration, because it is possible that this year educational establishments they will begin to actively compare, compiling ratings, as happens after the Unified State Exam.
Innovations for 2019
Main news In the coming year there will be an expansion of classes whose students will be required to take part in writing test papers. Yes, in 2019 year VPR 7th and 8th graders will also write, for which their own schedule will be drawn up, taking into account the subjects submitted for control.
Second news– this is a floating testing schedule in 4 grades. Starting from the 2018-2019 academic year, each school will have the right to draw up its own own schedule VLOOKUP for junior school. The package of tasks, as before, will be formed from open bank, but it will be sent to educational institutions taking into account pre-agreed and approved dates for the inspection.
Third news is that the results will be returned to schools in the form of data entered into individual card child., that is, the teacher will receive a full report that will help him understand what to pay attention to Special attention, and where there are omissions.
Although, other innovations are not excluded, because the organizers were not very pleased with the results of 2018, having identified numerous cases of inflated grades by teachers and administration of educational institutions.
What items fall under control in 2019?
Since 2015, the list of subjects in which the level of knowledge of students is tested during the All-Russian testing works has been constantly growing. Thus, analyzing the schedule of VPR sections drawn up for 2017 and 2018, we can assume that in 2019 there is a high probability of introducing new works for middle and high schools.
So, teachers and parents of children studying in grades 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 10 and 11 should follow the news and be interested in what subjects will be included in the curriculum for the upcoming 2018-2019 school year.
4th grade
For 4th grade students who are about to transition to high school, All-Russian testing in 2019 will be a mandatory cross-section of knowledge!

- mathematics;
- story;
- social science;
- biology;
- geography.
7th grade
Since 7th grade students will be participating in the VPR for the first time this year, testing will be carried out for them in test mode.

- Russian language;
- mathematics;
- foreign language;
- story;
- social science;
- physics;

7 million Russian schoolchildren will write in 2019 All-Russian Test Work (VPR) - test work on different subjects. At 4, 5 and 6 VPR classes this academic year will be compulsory, in the rest they are carried out by decision of the school.
VPR is the most widespread assessment procedure in the education system: since their introduction in 2015, Russian schoolchildren have written more than 33 million test papers. In 2018, 40.5 thousand schools from all regions of Russia conducted VPR.The director told RIA Novosti what conclusions were drawn based on such large-scale material Federal Institute assessment of the quality of education Sergey Stanchenko.
“Keep your finger on the pulse”: after 4th grade it only gets worse
‒ Sergey Vladimirovich, what is VPR? Who needs them and why?
‒ For understanding, I would refer to the ancient Soviet practice administrative work- ministerial, regional, final and others. There have always been a lot of tests. In recent years, the problem of the variety of programs, textbooks and teaching aids led to the fact that Russian schools teach the material very differently and interpret the requirements of state educational standards, written in a very generalized form. In addition, the results of national studies of the quality of education (NIQE) record a drop in the level of preparation of schoolchildren after the 4th grade. Between 5th and 9th grades passes a long period time. Children begin to grow up, some of them, for many reasons, lose motivation, “their eyes look outside,” and psychological maturation occurs.
Everyone understands that primary school is a very difficult period for children, when it is necessary to “keep abreast” not only of the school itself, but of the state. It should offer uniform measures of the quality of education. All verification work has unified system building options and common approaches in the formulation of tasks. At the same time, they are very modern, set the emphasis for the development of the Federal State Educational Standard, and follow global educational trends.
Now these works contain many practice-oriented tasks. We try to turn the assessment towards understanding real results teaching children, their successful socialization as citizens of the country, because the most important basic things in history and social studies are taught from grades 5 to 9; by the senior grades they are only enriched with academic details.
‒ What are the most valuable conclusions you draw from analyzing the results of the VPR? How do schools deal with these findings? And do they work?
‒ Unlike others assessment procedures(Unified State Exam, State Examination, etc.), the school itself checks the VPR: the children wrote, the teachers gathered, sat down and discussed all the mistakes, successes, and gaps within their team. This an important part systematic work teachers, and standardized work is a colossal material for them. Then the results in the form of points “rise” to all levels - municipal, regional, federal. We analyze them. Let me make a reservation right away that there are no organizational conclusions from the category “ bad school" or " good school“No one does and no one is going to do.
We are only recording global trends. They are not related to subject teaching, but to to a greater extent With common features for different items.
For example, now we see the same trend as in NIKO: after the 4th grade, schoolchildren’s results drop sharply.
Of course, this is influenced by the features adolescence fifth graders, sixth graders and seventh graders. But the task of pedagogy is precisely to stop problems and centrally help the school cope with them.
Problem area: “foreign language” from 5th to 8th grades"
‒ What other trends do you catch? specific items? Can these conclusions be trusted given the fact that not all schools honestly assign grades for CDF?
- Yes, many schools hide their results, and I don’t understand why they waste their time. In a large sample, the problems of “sinking” topics are always visible. All materials are open, everything is visible from the all-Russian picture. Now the situation with a foreign language, which in 2022 will become mandatory for graduates taking the Unified State Exam, is under special control. To prepare for this innovation, “ road map", within the framework of which in the spring of this year, for the first time, a VPR was carried out on foreign language in 11th grade, in next year will take place in the spring VPR and in 7th grade. Two years ago we held national survey on this subject. The picture is similar everywhere - preparation in a foreign language falls catastrophically from grade 5 to grade 8. Perhaps this is due to the peculiarities of the organization of teaching this particular subject, the division of schoolchildren into language subgroups.
‒ In April 2019 years will pass NIKO in physical education. What do you intend to find out?
‒ Physical Culture, health and attitudes towards a healthy lifestyle in the international educational community are considered one of the key requirements for graduates of the future. What is the teaching practice? Classes on the street or in the hall, outdoor exercises or theoretical ones? How do children understand principles? healthy image life?
We need to examine more thoroughly the subjects that don't pass the test. Unified State Examination form. The picture there is absolutely incomprehensible. For example, we conducted a study on life safety and found that the program is not very well organized: it begins in grades 7-8, while maximum benefit from taking this course I would be in grades 5-6.
“Mark it!”
‒ Lately Many experts advocate grade-free education because they believe that any grade is stressful for the child. In your opinion, holding tests Doesn't it weaken the psyche of Russian schoolchildren?
- I completely disagree with such experts. A mark is motivation. The first year when we introduced the VPR, Rosobrnadzor recommended not to mark the results of the work. You can't imagine how many indignant letters we received from schools! The children wrote the work, they want to know what they got for it. There must be an assessment. A man who prepares for the future adult life, should at least sometimes leave your comfort zone and plunge yourself into a state of stress. You have to study and create, and do routine work, pass tests - all this an integral part of training.
‒ It is known that some teachers teach VPR. How to deal with this?
‒ I wouldn’t throw around the term “trained.” This can be a completely healthy and very beneficial process called “final repetition.” You can't go anywhere without this. The main thing is that this does not turn into repeated study of identical tasks from the demo version. Teachers need to clearly understand the difference between coaching and control repetition covered material.
‒ What can you advise the parents of seven million Russian schoolchildren who will have to write the All-Russian test papers?
- I would advise parents, firstly, not to worry, secondly, not to worry, thirdly, not to worry. Top tip after these three, take an interest in your children’s studies, and don’t slow down after primary school.
International studies show that in primary school We have the most involved parents in their children’s education; they help their children do their homework the most.
Then, unfortunately, we record a sharp decline in interest from both children and parents. Many children from grades 5 to 7 lose their base and the ability to apply more complex knowledge. The VPR results will also help track this. In this light, it is useful for parents to be interested in the results and in general school life your child until graduation.
In connection with the beginning of a new educational period Many schoolchildren, as well as their parents, wonder about possible changes in carrying out All-Russian verification work (VPR). The relevance of questions about test work and new items in schedules cannot be subject to any doubt. It is best to be prepared for all the details of the schedule in advance.
Many young residents Russian Federation a question that is often asked is related to the need to conduct All-Russian inspection work in educational institutions. It would not be amiss to recall the fact that with the help of VPR, control is carried out educational level schoolchildren on the territory of our state.
To date, official data suggests that this year more than 98 percent of Russian schools took part in the VPR. However, according to official statements from the Ministry of Education and Science, in the new academic year, All-Russian testing will be held in absolutely all educational institutions on the territory of the Russian Federation.
In connection with this fact, many students show their dissatisfaction associated with increased control over students. This is due to the fact that each new test becomes a cause of stress for the student and his parents. Despite the ambiguous attitude of students and parents to this method of testing students’ knowledge, conducting a test is not subject to discussion and, in any case, such tests will take place. It is also worth paying attention to the fact that the number of items that specialists want to submit for control may be increased.
Arguing in favor of holding this method knowledge testing, representatives of regulatory authorities say that with the help of this measure it is possible to immediately analyze the preparatory level of each of the students in the territory different regions Russia. In addition, with the help of VPR, the state manages to standardize most of the requirements for all educational Russian establishments. It is also worth remembering that with the help of All-Russian verification work it is possible to detect weaknesses in the educational program with subsequent introduction of the necessary amendments and adjustments to curriculum next year.
Based on the facts obtained, we can safely talk about the importance of All-Russian testing works not only for students, but also for administrative staff schools, since in the near future the government of the Russian Federation may introduce rating system educational institutions, which will be based on the results obtained after the VPR.
The main innovation this year is the expansion of the classes participating in the All-Russian testing work. Based on the information officially provided, seventh and eighth grade students will also take part in the process of writing a VPR. In addition, according to officially presented data, we can say that the testing schedule for fourth grade students this year will be flexible. That is, each educational institution can create its own schedule for conducting All-Russian testing for fourth-grade students.
The latest innovations are that the results obtained after conducting the VPR will be sent to educational institutions and there they will be entered into the individual card of each student. Using this method, teachers will be able to identify aspects that need to be worked on individually for each student in an educational institution.
In 2019, 7 million Russian schoolchildren will write the All-Russian Test Works (VPR) - tests in various subjects. In grades 4, 5 and 6, educational training will be compulsory this academic year; in the rest, it is carried out by decision of the school.
VPR is the most widespread assessment procedure in the education system: since their introduction in 2015, Russian schoolchildren have written more than 33 million test papers. In 2018, 40.5 thousand schools from all regions of Russia conducted VPR.The director of the Federal Institute for Assessment of the Quality of Education, Sergei Stanchenko, told a RIA Novosti correspondent about the conclusions drawn on the basis of such large-scale material.
“Keep your finger on the pulse”: after 4th grade it only gets worse
‒ Sergey Vladimirovich, what is VPR? Who needs them and why?
- For understanding, I would refer to the old Soviet practice of administrative work - ministerial, district, final and others. There were always a lot of tests.
In recent years, the problem of diversity in programs, textbooks and teaching aids has led to the fact that in Russian schools they teach material very differently and interpret the requirements of state educational standards, written in a very generalized form. In addition, the results of national studies of the quality of education (NIQE) record a drop in the level of preparation of schoolchildren after the 4th grade.

We are only recording global trends. They are not associated with subject teaching, but rather with common features for different subjects.
For example, now we see the same trend as in NIKO: after the 4th grade, schoolchildren’s results drop sharply.
Of course, this is influenced by the characteristics of the transitional age of fifth-, sixth- and seventh-graders. But the task of pedagogy is precisely to stop problems and centrally help the school cope with them.
Problem area: "foreign language grades 5 to 8"
‒ What other trends do you “catch” in specific subjects? Can these conclusions be trusted given the fact that not all schools honestly assign grades for CDF?
- Yes, many schools hide their results, and I don’t understand why they waste their time. In a large sample, the problems of “sinking” topics are always visible. All materials are open, everything is visible from the all-Russian picture.
Now the situation with a foreign language, which in 2022 will become mandatory for graduates taking the Unified State Exam, is under special control. To prepare for this innovation, a “road map” was developed, within the framework of which in the spring of this year, for the first time, a VPR in a foreign language was conducted in the 11th grade; next year, in the spring, a VPR will be held in the 7th grade. Two years ago we conducted a national study on this subject. The picture is similar everywhere - preparation in a foreign language falls catastrophically from grade 5 to grade 8. Perhaps this is due to the peculiarities of the organization of teaching this particular subject, the division of schoolchildren into language subgroups.
‒ In April 2019, the NIKO in physical education will be held. What do you intend to find out?
‒ Physical education, health and attitudes towards a healthy lifestyle in the international educational community are considered one of the key requirements for graduates of the future. What is the teaching practice? Classes on the street or in the hall, outdoor exercises or theoretical ones? How do children understand the principles of a healthy lifestyle?
We need to more carefully examine subjects that are not taken in the Unified State Examination form. The picture there is absolutely incomprehensible.

‒ It is known that some teachers teach VPR. How to deal with this?
‒ I wouldn’t throw around the term “trained.” This can be a completely healthy and very beneficial process called “summative repetition.” You can't go anywhere without this. The main thing is that this does not turn into repeated study of identical tasks from the demo version. Teachers need to clearly understand the difference between coaching and control repetition of the material covered.
‒ What can you advise the parents of seven million Russian schoolchildren who will have to write the All-Russian test papers?
- I would advise parents, firstly, not to worry, secondly, not to worry, thirdly, not to worry. The main advice after these three is to take an interest in your children’s studies, and not to slow down after primary school.
International studies show that in primary school we have the most involved parents in their children’s education; they help their children with their homework the most.

In this light, it is useful for parents to be interested in the results and in general the school life of their child until graduation.
