Last straight line for general and technological Terminale students who will approach, without stress, philosophy, the only survivor of the national Bac exams in June, this Wednesday June 14, at 8 a.m., before ending with the great oral between June 19 and June 30.
The philosophy which, before the 2018 reform, opened the ball for the baccalaureate exams, today closes the parenthesis for the 500,000 high school students in France in the 2023 vintage. “With the reform, the weight of the exam mark of philosophy in the final result is minimal: coefficient 8 out of a total of 100, i.e. 8% of the Bac mark for general Terminale students and 4 out of a total of 100 for those in Technological Terminale. It’s less than the sport in continuous control, “is offended a professor of philosophy who teaches in a high school in Thionville.
“I go there without pressure”
If the philosophy test represents the culmination of a year of teaching for teachers and it will not be the subject of any concession in the design of the subjects, for the students, the set of coefficients, the results anticipated specialty tests (disclosed in April) and the results of Parcoursup assignments do not encourage them to revise. “I’m going without pressure because it doesn’t represent much for the final mark. I reread my lessons, nothing more. If I have the average, I will be happy”, testifies Alix, student of Terminale générale. “I hear students telling me that they are going to go for talent,” sighs a philosophy teacher who teaches in the Messina region. Some are already guaranteed to have their Baccalaureate and will go there relaxed. »
“I am curious to discover my batch of copies to be corrected”
“Do we have to blame young people for making calculations in this version of the Bac which encourages this? », Asks Professor Thionvillois. And to resume: “We have always had students who approached philosophy almost without preparation, but here we are witnessing an accentuation of the phenomenon. I am curious to discover my batch of copies to be corrected”. “Are we going to feel a general relaxation in the content? I tend to believe so,” warns the teacher from the Messina region. And the Thionvillois to resume: “It remains to be seen how we are going to agree on the correction in view of the first copies… There will be a strong contrast effect which will make us push the note to the highest point as soon as we have some something more built”. Results on July 4.
