  • The Problem Posed by Exam Choice on the Comparability of Results in the Finnish Matriculation Examination
    CORE Metadata, citation and similar papers at core.ac.uk Provided by Helsingin yliopiston digitaalinen arkisto Journal for Educational Research Online Journal für Bildungsforschung Online Volume 8 (2016), No. 2, 87–106 © 2016 Waxmann Sirkku Kupiainen, Jukka Marjanen & Jarkko Hautamäki The problem posed by exam choice on the comparability of results in the Finnish matriculation examination Abstract The article by Kupiainen, Marjanen and Hautamäki focuses on the upper second- ary matriculation examination in Finland as a school leaving and university en- trance examination. The presented research addresses the question of whether increased choice of the subject-specifi c examinations has the potential to under- mine the comparability of examination results and to direct students’ choices not only in the examination but already beforehand at school. The authors re- fer to Finland’s tradition of more than 160 years of a national examination con- necting the academic track of upper secondary schools with universities. The au- thors explain the Finnish system by describing the adoption of a course-based (vs. class- or year-based) curriculum for the three-year upper secondary education and the subsequent reforms in the matriculation examination. This increases stu- dents’ choices considerably with regard to the subject-specifi c exams included in the examination (a minimum of four). As a result, high-achieving students com- pete against each other in the more demanding subjects while the less able share the same normal distribution of grades in the less demanding subjects. As a con- sequence, students tend to strategic exam-planning, which in turn aff ects their study choices at school, often to the detriment of the more demanding subjects and, subsequently, of students’ career opportunities, endangering the tradition- al national objective of an all-round pre-academic upper secondary education.
