The Ministry Wants to Abandon the Assessment of Behavior and Diligence in Schools
Haridusministeerium plaanib lõpetada käitumise ja hoolsuse hindamise koolides. Uue õppekava järgi rõhutatakse õpilase iseseisvust ja enesemääratlemist.
The Ministry of Education plans to discontinue the assessment of behavior and diligence in schools. According to the new curriculum, emphasis is placed on student independence and self-determination.
Currently, schools are required to assess students' behavior and diligence at least twice a year. The Ministry of Education wants to abandon this. In the future, this will be discussed with the student during development discussions.
A new education law will come into effect on September 1, 2023. As one of the changes, the ministry plans to eliminate grades for behavior and diligence. The new curriculum focuses more on student independence and self-determination. The assessment of behavior and diligence is often subjective and varies between teachers. This may seem unfair to the student.
The new curriculum emphasizes learning as a process. Collaboration, reflection, and individual development are important. The goal is for the student to develop a desire to follow behavioral norms and be responsible in their studies.
In the long term, it is more effective to develop the student's internal motivation. This is better than the short-term external motivation provided by grades for behavior and diligence.
In the future, the school must provide feedback at least once a year during development discussions. The school may hold discussions more frequently if needed. During the discussion, the teacher and student can together address issues of behavior and diligence. The student can explain their behavior, and the teacher can provide guidance for improvement.
