It was pointed out that eight questions in the math area of the 2023 College Scholastic Ability Test (CSAT), which was taken on the 17th last month, were off the current high school level.
In response to this claim, the Korea Institute for Curriculum and Evaluation (Evaluation Institute) refuted that there was no problem outside the curriculum.
On the 8th at 11:00 on the 8th, Democratic Party lawmaker Kang Min-jeong and a world without worrying about private education (Worrying about private education), an educational civic group, held a press conference and announced the ‘results of analyzing math questions for the SAT’.
To analyze this, Private Education Worry explained that from the 18th to the 28th of last month, 11 math teachers and two curriculum experts had two or three question analysis meetings and a synthesis of majority opinions.
Of the 46 math problems, if any of the “curricula performance standards or grading standards” were out of place, unspecified content in these questions was presented, or college course content was presented, it was judged beyond the high school level.
As a result of the analysis, Concern for Private Education said: “Eight out of a total of 46 math questions for this year’s CSAT (17.4%) were judged to be outside the level and scope of the curriculum of the high school”.
Questions beyond the high school level were 6 questions in common subjects (#12, 13, 14, 20, 21, 22) and 2 questions in elective subjects. All 2 elective questions were calculus (Nos. 28 and 30).
In particular, regarding the 30th calculation problem, he pointed out that “the wrong answer rate reached 94.3% (EBS), and only 5 people out of 100 answered correctly”.
In the “Assessment Methods and Curriculum Precautions,” the Private Tutoring Concern states, “We do not deal with overly complicated problems in the use of various methods of differentiation and derivatives.” is a very complicated function made up of compounds of exponential functions, and the process of differentiating the compound functions is also very complicated.
Regarding the findings of the analysis, the private education firm said, “The state itself admits that it is impossible to prepare for the CSAT simply by learning in regular public education classrooms.” It will lead to collapse,” he said.
At the same time, he urged the Ministry of Education to take measures to prevent applications that go beyond the high school curriculum.
Private education concerns initially suggested that the composition of the CSAT testing team had changed from the current professor-focused to field-teacher-focused. It has been argued that it is desirable that teachers with high knowledge of the field are in charge of the questions and that professors and experts are in charge of the review phase which requires academic rigor.
I thought that the size of the “high-difficulty article review committee”, which was recently established this year, should also be increased.
Private education concerns “expanded the number of reviewers from 5 to 6 in each group for National, Math, and English, and from 5 to 6 in each group for Social Studies and Scientific Research to a maximum of 6 or more for all subjects to match the high school curriculum for all issues, not just the level of difficulty, should be reviewed,” he said.
They also urged the swift passage of the amendment to the previous Education Regulations Law proposed by Representative Kang Min-jung in September last year. The amendment stipulates that a preliminary impact assessment be conducted on whether or not prior learning should be induced, just like the college entrance exam, and the result is reflected in the college entrance exam of the corresponding year.
On the other hand, the institution’s scholastic ability test headquarters explained that there were no questions that contained content that was not taught in high school.
At the 2023 CSAT scoring briefing held this morning at the Sejong Government Complex, Hyung-joo Moon, head of the CSAT headquarters of the Assessment Institute, said: “We say it is a violation of the curriculum when there is content that does not they were learned or taught in high school.
He continued: “Tomorrow (9), the basis for the curriculum for each application will be revealed on our home page” and added: “We are currently confirming that there has been no violation of the curriculum.”
