education policy reacts, at least they ever announced enhancements: As a consequence of the new Student Assessment, the states want to improve the education and training of specialist teachers for math and science. That said, the President of the Standing Conference (KMK), Stephan Dorgerloh (SPD).
because: It reveals that 15 percent of teachers in schools today teach mathematics, not studied this subject – you can see from the high schools
.
new states-school comparison shows that East German students of the ninth grade level in math and science are far more powerful than most of their West German peers (here, the researchers report in pdf, size: 416 pages). All five new federal states are in very good places. Of the Western countries, however, only Bavaria and Rhineland-Palatinate can keep up. Laggards are Bremen, North Rhine-Westphalia and Hamburg. Over 44,000 students had participated in the ninth grade for all types of schools in the new school test.
school comparison of the states
University researcher Hans Anand Pant pointed out that mathematics and science had already been considered in GDR times in the schools with special attention. Still would be granted to the East German schools in these subjects more lessons than in the West. The majority of today teaching in the new Länder math teacher has been trained nor in GDR times.
“We were especially practical training and internships with many applications in the school,” said Minister of Culture of Saxony Brunhild Kurth (independent) who himself has worked 13 years as a chemistry teacher in the GDR.
Saxony leads in all four subjects at the performance table. In Saxon Math students are in ninth grade their peers from Bremen about two school years ahead. Similarly, there are large differences in performance in physics. Between leader Saxony and North Rhine-Westphalia to the bottom of distance learning is also about two years.
employees of the country’s Institute for Educational Progress (IQR) at the Humboldt University in Berlin had visited in May and June 2012 for more than 1300 schools throughout the country. In addition to the tests and interviews with students, subject teachers and school leaders were made to the learning situation.
The study also proves the old prejudice that separate out the boys better in math than girls. In biology, it is exactly the opposite. In addition, boys are much more confident of their performance and assess themselves better than they actually are. Girls underestimate their hand in science performance.
Here are the results of the individual countries at a glance:Math: here were well above average students in Saxony (536), they cut themselves in the top flight with a clear points ahead of the test participants from other states. Measurably better than the midfield were also Thuringia and Brandenburg and Bavaria and Saxony-Anhalt .
At the end of the list, with only 471 points, is Bremen . The other countries with significantly below average student performance in mathematics are Berlin (479) North Rhine-Westphalia and (486) and Hamburg and the Saarland (both 489).
science: Even when expertise in biology, chemistry and physics is Saxony forward, but almost on par with Thuringia , Saxony- Anhalt and Brandenburg . Between the results of the three science subjects in the ninth grade test showed only minor deviations. With a slight gap to the top four students in the federal states of Mecklenburg-Western Pomerania consistently achieved above-average values. Bavaria made it to chemistry and physics, Rhineland-Palatinate Biology scarce in the group of top ranked.
worst performances in the science field, the students provided in Hamburg , Bremen and North Rhine-Westphalia . Hesse slipped in with biology in the group of significantly poor performance, Berlin missed a place only very slightly in the final group in the natural sciences.
