The Moscow Center for Quality Education conducts every year a large number of checks educational institutions in order to monitor the effectiveness of education and identify gaps in educational process.
The highest quality – independent diagnostics educational institutions. They are also the most popular.
Each school has its own internal monitoring of the quality of the educational process. All tasks (dictations, test papers) are prepared by the teachers of this school, and they also check.
As a result, a subjective assessment is created, which can sometimes differ from the actual picture.
Independent assessments make it possible to create an objective situation on this moment, and also allow you to compare the successes of schoolchildren from one educational institution in comparison with another.
Analysis of identified errors allows you to quickly and timely correct the educational process, eliminating all shortcomings.
Schools independently decide which diagnostics to sign up for and how many classes will take part.
The administration has the opportunity to choose the time in advance, since all diagnostics are carried out according to an annual plan.
Unfortunately, very often situations occur that schools only submit one, the best class, for diagnostics.
In this way they try to present their school with the best result.
But here you need to understand that diagnostics is not a competition, but a tool to help improve the quality of the educational process.
First of all, these types of inspections are needed by the schools themselves, and not by the education quality center.
In addition, it is possible not to save data in the school portfolio. Within two weeks, the school can analyze the results and make a request to the MCCS not to save them.
This opportunity is especially important for teachers who will soon undergo certification for a higher category, which necessarily takes into account the assessment of the activities of the class in which they teach.
Parents can see information in their personal accounts about what subject the diagnostics were assigned for and when. This way they can help their child prepare.
Carrying out diagnostic tests
Carrying out diagnostics is a paid service. Therefore, if problems arise at the school on the day the inspection is scheduled, and they ask to cancel it, then funds will have to be paid again for a re-diagnosis.
First of all, you need to understand that information on the prescribed diagnosis appears on the official website of the MCCO a month before its appointment. There is also a demo version there.
The teacher needs to familiarize himself with all materials. Next, it is imperative to prepare students. One of the preparation points is filling out answer forms.
Absolutely all students, before the test, must clearly understand how to fill out the form correctly.
This is very important so that there are no stupid mistakes. Instructional and methodological materials appear on the site, available to teachers and schoolchildren, as well as webinars, the schedule of which is in the “monitoring and diagnostics” section (this section will be discussed below).
Webinars are good because in addition to receiving information, you have the opportunity to ask all your questions online and get complete answers to them.
After the verification, the results will be uploaded to the school’s personal accounts. They can be analyzed and the teacher’s work adjusted.
The results of the test may be considered unreliable if violations were identified during the process (according to independent experts) or if there were a large number of corrections in student answer forms.
Official website of MCCO
All information about monitoring and diagnostics is on the official website of the Moscow Center for Quality Education.
It can be found in three sections:
- "To the leaders."
- "To the teachers."
- "To the parents."
But in all cases there will be a transfer to the page - “Managers” - “Monitoring and diagnostics”.
This section contains basic information and links to specific types of checks.
The basic information includes contact information, diagnostic stages, links to instructional and methodological materials, information about each subject diagnostic.
Types of checks:
- National Educational Quality Surveys
- International comparative studies quality of education
- Computer diagnostics
- Basics of economic knowledge
National Educational Quality Surveys
When you open this section, information about three types of assessment appears:
- All-Russian testing work;
- National Educational Quality Surveys;
- Study of teacher competencies.
All-Russian verification work has been carried out since 2015 in order to ensure unity educational space RF and support for the implementation of the Federal State Educational Standard.
In essence, these are tests for individual assessment of schoolchildren. In general, an objective analysis of the quality of education is obtained at the intermediate stages of education, and not at the end of the year.
When carrying out such work, they use common standards carrying out, testing and evaluation in all regions of the Russian Federation, they are set out in the order of conducting the GRP.
During the conduct, third-party participants, most often from among parents, are invited as independent observers.
National studies of the quality of education have been conducted since 2014. The NIKO program represents individual research projects on specific items at a specific time.
Projects - work on academic subjects, surveying students and collecting information about the learning process.
The purpose of NIKO is to identify students’ subject and interdisciplinary skills and the maturity of educational actions.
NICOs are carried out strictly according to the schedule, anonymously, there is no connection to student data. The selection of educational institutions occurs at the federal level by the program.
The results are used to assess the quality of the education system as a whole, and not the performance of a particular school or its teachers. These checks are carried out annually, and the results are discussed at conferences on assessing the quality of education.
The study of teacher competencies has been carried out since 2015. The initiators of such checks are federal Service on supervision and control in the field of education (Rosobrnadzor).
The goal is to evaluate and suit teachers for their position and category.
The education of schoolchildren should be carried out only by professionals who strive every day to improve themselves and improve their competencies.
On this moment There are no uniform mechanisms for the Russian Federation to ensure the quality of teachers’ work. This type of assessment is aimed specifically at achieving unity in this problem.
The essence of IKU is the anonymous completion of questionnaires with professional and sociological issues. The results are used to polish the education system, and not to evaluate a particular school and its staff.
