5-point system versus 10-point system: which is better?

The knowledge assessment system is an integral element educational process. In fact, this is the basic criterion for determining the level of mastery of educational material. Most Russian parents are familiar and understand the 5-point system, because we remember it from our childhood. Abroad, new systems are relevant - 10-, 12- and even 100-point. This trend has not bypassed domestic education: some schools, in addition to the usual 5-point scale, have introduced a grading system on a 10-point scale.

Which system is better? What to look for when choosing between the old and new format for assessing knowledge? And how do children react to assessment of their progress in general? Let's talk about this below.

Assessment as a factor of influence on personality development

WITH early childhood we go through the process of socialization, that is, integration into the existing society. The role of connecting links between the individual and society is played by the so-called agents of socialization: first, one’s own family, and then a kindergarten, school, university, and work team. But if the family, as a rule, loves us for who we are, then the affection of other agents still needs to be earned. Moreover, these agents constantly evaluate us.

IN kindergarten The teacher evaluates the child’s behavior and progress: how he spends his time, how he interacts with other children and staff, how easy it is for him to do group games, tasks and exercises. This is how children get used to being assessed - they begin to understand that their behavior is constantly compared with certain reference values (“pretty smart”, “not too obedient”, “very sociable”). They are then assessed at school, but here the emphasis is on the level of knowledge acquired from the curriculum - the student receives low or high marks. This experience is extrapolated to all future social life. At the university, a former student becomes an excellent student, a poor student or an average student, and at work, accordingly, a good, bad or mediocre employee.

The puberty period of development occurs precisely during school years Therefore, it is the assessment system at school that has a special influence on the development of the child. Today the situation in schools is ambiguous: some educational institutions use the traditional 5-point system for Russia, others are gradually moving to a 10-point system, and some even use them in parallel. For example, in elementary grades, students are given grades from 1 to 5, and in middle and high grades - from 1 to 10.

5-point system: pros and cons

By design, a scale from 1 to 5 demonstrates how the student has learned educational material. At the same time, each quantification corresponds to a certain semantic characteristic.

Grade	Student characteristics
	Doesn't know or understand the course material at all
	Doesn't know most of the material. Answers oral questions hesitantly, makes gross mistakes in written work
	Knows the basic material, but cannot correctly use the acquired knowledge in practice without outside help. Makes mistakes in oral answers and in writing
	Knows the required material, answers questions without difficulty, and applies the acquired knowledge in practice. Does not make gross mistakes when answering verbally, and in writing makes only minor errors
	Knows the program material in full, demonstrates an excellent understanding of the topic, answers the teacher’s questions correctly and confidently, and is able to independently solve practical problems using the acquired knowledge. Does not make mistakes in oral and written answers

Pros:

the system is traditional and familiar, and therefore understandable to both students and parents;
good grades (in particular, A's) significantly increase a student's self-esteem.

Cons:

assessment criteria do not make it possible to accurately and objectively assess a student’s knowledge (hence the widespread use of essentially non-existent grades like “4+”, “3-”, etc.);
the system does not objectively determine the student’s academic progress (even if the student made fewer mistakes than last time, or answered correctly but made a mistake in writing, his grade will not change);
poor grades negatively affect the student’s self-esteem and can cause serious psychological trauma;
very often the assessment is determined not by the educational success and real achievements of the child, but by the behavior and subjective attitude of the teacher.

10-point system: pros and cons

The main difference of this system is a deeper classification and detailing of a student’s educational achievements. In addition to the level of mastery of the material, this scale also shows qualitative characteristics educational activities.

Grade	Characteristic	Level of educational activity
	Complete absence educational activity
	Unsatisfactory	Distinction, recognition, superficial familiarity with the subject
	Almost satisfactory
	Satisfactorily	Memorization and unconscious reproduction
	Very satisfactory	Memorization and unconscious reproduction
		Understanding of theory, awareness
	Very good	Understanding of theory, awareness
	Very good	Full knowledge of theoretical material
	Almost perfect	Full knowledge of theoretical material
		A non-standard creative approach to the application of acquired knowledge
	Perfect

The system is called 10-point, although in fact it contains 11 grades - from 0 to 10. A grade of “0” is provided for those cases when the student simply refuses to answer a question or complete a task. But at the same time, the assessment cannot characterize the level of mastery of the material, which is why it was not reflected in the name of the scale.

Pros:

expanded gradation allows you to more clearly and objectively determine the current level of knowledge;
the scale allows you to analyze the student’s mental abilities, assess involvement in the educational process and detect his weaknesses;
the system is psychologically comfortable - ratings from 5 points are already positive;
The uncomfortable gap for students between excellent students and poor students is reduced: all students who receive from 7 to 10 points are successful by definition.

Cons:

the system does not solve traditional problems school education: psychological trauma poor students, subjective attitude of teachers, etc.;
Parents are confused about the new scores and do not always understand what this or that score indicates.

Both systems cannot be called ideal, but it is obvious that the 10-point scale is still more comfortable for students and makes the process of assessing knowledge at least a little more adequate. Therefore, if there is a choice, it is better to send the child to a school where grades are given from 1 to 10. It is optimal if the child gets used to such a system from the first grade and studies according to it until graduation. A sharp transition from one scale to another, which is sometimes practiced in domestic schools, only brings additional discomfort to children.

Interesting fact: The Finnish school system, considered the best in the world, has abandoned grades altogether. According to the Finnish Ministry of Education, children study in order to obtain and use knowledge, and not for the sake of good grades. The innovative approach has already proven its effectiveness: Finnish graduates are breaking all success records, and their parents are calm about the psychological health of their children.

1 point
The unattainable edge of horror. Universal evil. If you have a nightmare, you will have to visit a psychiatrist. Perhaps more than once.

2 points
90-60-90
height-weight-age
Something thick and scary. It will be given to the first person you meet for a bottle of cheap beer, or it will be broken until your last breath. We do not consider them as “female”.

3 points
A gray, ugly, plump girl who has been very unlucky in life with her appearance. There are rumors that they have sex.
Usually such girls either give with great effort (due to their terrible complexes), or give to all the few comrades who need it from them.

4 points
An ordinary gray girl who is not popular with men. In this case, it can either be with a normal figure, but ugly in the face, or simply too fat. At large quantities Alcohol will do, but again, not for everyone. Seducing such a person is not a problem, but think about whether you need it.

5 points
Neither fish nor meat. There are millions of them. 7 out of 10 girls passing will fall into this category. There’s no shame in seducing someone like that, but there’s also nothing to boast about.
Standard. Such girls make “contact” most easily.

6 points
Either a very well-groomed 5, or just a pretty girl who can be seduced and this will be a good memory. Typically, such girls are suitable for long-term relationships due to their flexibility.
Seducing someone like that is not big problem, but you'll have to work a little harder.

7 points
From nature beautiful girl. With a good figure and a pretty face. It is popular among men and therefore there is a protective barrier against obviously unacceptable or unsuccessful men. This is the most controversial category among pickup artists. Here opinions fluctuate both down and up. In general, the seduction of 7 remains in my memory as very good memories.

8 points
Fashion model. Naturally gifted with good looks and a great figure. For the most part, these girls are wealthy and have the opportunity to take care of their appearance. The percentage of such girls is very small among all, but having seduced her, you can be proud of it and know that you are “one of the very best.” In most cases, to seduce such a girl, you will need more than one date.

9 points
This is your ideal. Moreover, for everyone it is no less than 8 points, but it sunk into your soul. This is exactly what you dream of. A very beautiful girl (7-8 points) with whom you have a long-term relationship and she is “the one” can also fall into this category.
The seduction of such a girl definitely goes beyond the standard, so here you will have to make every effort.

10 points
The unattainable limit of beauty and inner qualities of a girl. If you met her, then consider yourself one of a million. There is no need to seduce, you and her will understand everything right away.

Already this year, the country will begin an experiment on a new, more granular assessment of student performance - a 10-point scale.

This was recently stated by the Minister of Education and Science Andrei Fursenko. But, as it turned out, there are already schools in Moscow that did this in the last century. The RG correspondent went to one of them - gymnasium No. 1587 in Maryino.

Seven in geometry

Gymnasium N1587 in Maryino has been working using a new method for ten years. I switched to a 10-point system when there was no trace of the Unified State Exam. An unusual experiment began here ten years ago. The school director accidentally attended a seminar at the regional pedagogical university and, having learned about a new method of assessing knowledge, decided to try it herself. The district authorities did not object, the parents also spoke in favor, but some teachers had to be persuaded. Senior school teachers resisted especially for a long time - they were afraid that they might ruin the certificates of the medalists. What if you have to change weak A's to solid B's? If a student does not achieve the highest possible score within a year, how can he be given a medal? In the end they were convinced too.

We have developed a grading scale for each subject and type of assignment. For example, 10 points in the Russian language will be given to someone who not only demonstrates excellent knowledge, but also reaches the research level in creative work, “reads artistically, writes without a single mistake, cleanly and accurately.”

Let's take physics. A ten will be given only if the student’s knowledge goes beyond school curriculum. This is an assessment of Olympiad-level knowledge. It's not easy to earn it. But no one here sheds tears about this. The certificate still gets an A, and it doesn’t matter how many points you have - 8, 9 or 10.

According to the director of the gymnasium, Nadezhda Timashkova, everything except the reverse transfer of points into the certificate suits them:

"The teacher has more opportunities to objectively evaluate knowledge, parents like that children are not given twos and ones, students have more incentives to study well - their achievements are more noticeable. Today you got four points, tomorrow - five, the day after tomorrow - six" ...

Proud Four

Russian language teacher Galina Anatolyevna Biryukova - Candidate of Pedagogical Sciences. She defended her dissertation using the new ten-point system and assures that she doesn’t skimp on giving high grades to her students: “In the last lesson I gave 10 points, and I often give nines. School No. 893, next door to us, also uses a ten-point system, and in Surgut there is a lyceum where students are graded on a 12-point system. This is a more objective grading scale."

Opponents five-point system they give an argument: fives, fours, threes can be very different. “There are three with a minus and a four with two pluses,” Vadim Muranov, one of the winners of the “Teacher of the Year” competition, noted in a conversation with Russian President Dmitry Medvedev. “There are only three positive ratings, and the Unified State Examination is graded on a 100-point scale.”

Indeed, when existing system, for example, for excellent knowledge, both a gifted student - an Olympiad winner and someone who simply learned a lesson - will receive an A. And in the gymnasium there is a choice of three marks - 8, 9, 10. An Olympian will be given a ten, and a diligent schoolboy will be given an 8.

It is also true that the 10-point system generally corresponds to the Unified State Examination scale. Therefore, the transition to the Unified State Exam in this gymnasium was easier than in other schools. Both students and teachers understood the principle of assessment: for each skill, skill, and correct answer - your own point. The Unified State Exam scale turned out to be very clear and transparent: I got 80 points - the same as 8 in the gymnasium. This means the result is excellent. Got 50 - that's 5 points, that is, a three. And not a single student from this gymnasium thought of proving that, having scored 50 points, he successfully passed the Unified State Exam.

But there is a danger that even in the ten-point system there will be unclaimed grades - for example, tens. After all, even in the gymnasium, where children enter through a competition, they rarely give ten points. What can we say about an ordinary school!?

Another nuance - a gold medal is given for outstanding achievements in studies. If before - for A's, then with new system, apparently, for tens. There will clearly be fewer medalists. Perhaps, when entering universities, the difficult question of converting the grades of those who have already received a five-point certificate into a ten-point system will arise.

Shall we go to chemistry class? - I propose finally to the director of the gymnasium.

There is an explanation in class new topic. In a whisper I ask the schoolgirl at the first desk: “What was your last grade in chemistry?” "Four". Translated into the usual system - a weak C, a C with a minus. But what does “four” sound like?

How are they

All schools in Belarus switched to a ten-point system from September 1, 2002. Schools in Moldova use a scale of 10 points, Ukraine - 12 points, France - 20 points.

Help "RG"

What and for what (mathematics)

1 score (very weak) the student copied from the board, took dictation from the teacher, tried to understand the material

2 points (weak) can repeat some of the basic definitions, is not able to independently complete a single practical task with this theory

3 score (mediocre) remembered most of the material, but cannot explain it, gets confused in the answers

4 score (satisfactory) remembers everything, completes practical tasks with the help of the teacher

5 points (not good enough) can explain some theoretical questions, solves only those problems where the algorithm is known

6 points (good) answers most questions, shows awareness of theoretical knowledge, rarely makes computational errors

7 points (very good) clearly and logically presents theoretical material, applies theory in practice, extremely rarely makes computational errors

8 points (excellent) complete understanding of the essence of theory, application in practice, manages to complete practical tasks in the allotted time. Can he correct his mistake?

9 balls (excellent) easily completes practical tasks, solves non-standard problems

10 points (excellent) applies acquired knowledge in practice in a non-standard way, can independently obtain additional knowledge by working with literature and a computer.

Lyudmila Timchishina, candidate of pedagogical sciences, director of gymnasium N 11, Korolev, Moscow region:

The fact that the range of grades becomes wider is better for the school. You can’t give a student an A with a minus or a four with two pluses in a journal or certificate. Let's take excellent students, for example. Gold medal, of course, it is gold, only the sample varies. Fives are also different. One is tense, the other is honest. Five with a minus turns into a five, four with a minus turns into a four. But, you see, there is a difference between these assessments.

Against

Sergei Mendelevich, Honored Teacher of Russia, Director of School No. 57, Moscow:

The main disadvantage of the ten-point system is the laboriousness of assessment for the teacher. If now he has a choice of three limits - 5/4, 4/3, 3/2, then with a ten-point system the boundaries will stretch and clear uniform criteria will be needed for each subject and type of assignment, as well as for the lowest grades, for example, for a two . We will have to look for the answer to the questions: where is the line between a satisfactory and an unsatisfactory grade, who can be promoted to the next grade and who cannot...

According to Muzaev, this issue has been discussed in Russia for a long time, but to abolish the five-point rating system, a lot of work needs to be done.

According to the deputy head of Rosobrnadzor, in order to switch to another assessment system, it is necessary to improve the qualifications of teachers. On at the moment teachers do not know modern methods for assessing students' knowledge.

While there are many around the world various systems assessment. “Evening Moscow” decided to talk about some of them.

Five point system

This system is traditional not only for Russian schools. For example, it is used in Germany, only inverted - for German schoolchildren 1 means excellent, and 5 means unsatisfactory. The same system is used in the Czech Republic, Austria and Slovakia.

But the usual five points for us can be obtained in schools in Estonia, Serbia, Hungary, Croatia, Macedonia, Kyrgyzstan and Mongolia.

Ten point system

This rating system is quite common throughout the world. In this system, 10 is an excellent result, and 1 is complete ignorance of the school course. Accepted in the Baltic countries, Iceland, Italy, the Netherlands, as well as Romania and Albania.

In 2002, Belarus switched to a ten-point system. Their system has five levels - low (from 1 to 2), satisfactory (from 3 to 4), average (from 5 to 6), sufficient (from 7 to 8) and high (from 9 to 10).

At the same time, Belarusian schoolchildren and graduates will not have problems if they decide to continue their studies in Russia. Especially for this purpose, the Ministry of Education and Science Russian Federation in 2003 published a letter that establishes the ratio of assessments of educational institutions in Russia and Belarus. So, 1, 2, 3, 4 and 5 in the Belarusian system are 3 in the Russian one, 6, 7 and 8 correspond to the “four”, and 9 and 10 correspond to Russian assessment"Great".

100 point system

Alphabetic system

The cradle of such a system, which is also called Anglo-Saxon, is the USA. Here, students are graded on a five-point scale from A to F, where A is an analogue of our “five”, and F is “two”. As in Russia, pros and cons are also used, but they have no real weight in assessing the student’s knowledge.

With minor changes, many countries have adopted this system, including Canada, Sweden, Norway, Japan, Hong Kong, Indonesia, South Korea, as well as Malaysia and Thailand.

Exception to the Rule

In Ukraine there is a 12-point system, which can be divided into levels. The first level (1-3 points) is the lowest, middle second level (4-6) points, sufficient third (7-9) points and high (10-12 points). In this case, a grade of 12 points is given only for very outstanding student achievements.

In France, Belgium, Venezuela, Lebanon, Tunisia, Peru and high schools in Portugal, a 20-point system is used, in which it is almost impossible to get excellent (18.5-20 points) and most students remain good.

There is a country in the world that has managed to distinguish itself from the rest. In Denmark, as a result of the education reform in 2007, the 13-point system turned into a 7-point system. Everything would be fine, but these are ratings of 12, 10, 7, 4, 02, 00 and -3.
