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.

Assessment in Schools in Pakistan
SA-eDUC JOURNAL Volume 9, Number 2 September 2012 Assessment in schools in Pakistan Shamaas Gul Khattak1 School of Arts and Education, Middlesex University (London) [email protected] Abstract This study scrutinises the examination and assessment system in schools in Pakistan that is applicable from primary through to secondary education (Year X). It begins with a brief background of the Pakistani examination system established by its colonial masters; it then describes the present education system with special reference to the assessment process of students. An overview of the curriculum development and curriculum reforms in the country expands our understanding of the moribund assessment system in state schools. The primary focus of the study is to contextualise the assessment system in primary and secondary education and to assess the present rectification measures being put in place by the education authorities. Historical background of the examination system in Pakistan Pakistan is governed under the Islamic, Democratic, Federal Constitution of 1973 and the governance extends to four autonomous provinces: Punjab, Sindh, Khyber Pukhtunkhwah and Baluchistan. Education in Pakistan is essentially a provincial affair; however, certain educational functions are the responsibility of the Federation via the Federal Ministry of Education. Examinations in Pakistan are a legacy of the past, inherited from the British system. Following the model of the University of London, an external final examination, called matriculation was instituted at the end of the high school stage in the 1880s (Shirazi, 2004). It was initially administered by the London University. After the establishment of universities in Bombay, Calcutta and Madras in the 1857 the matriculation examination was conducted by these universities.
