\"\"<\/p>\n

The strike by\u00a0retention of notes<\/a>\u00a0by teachers dissatisfied with the “Blanquer reform” has come to rest, unexpectedly, the question of the interest of a continuous control in the context of an examination such as the baccalaureate .<\/p>\n

Beyond the controversy aroused by the\u00a0“technical solution”<\/a>\u00a0invented by the minister to solve the problem he had to face, one can seize the opportunity of this surprise irruption to try to calmly examine this question.<\/p>\n

Minister’s skillful parade<\/h4>\n

Pressed by the events, the Minister had to resolve to take into account “temporarily” the continuous control (average of the notes obtained in the discipline during the three quarters of the year), when the terminal note was missing as a result of the strike .\u00a0This has given continuous control (CC) an unexpected opportunity to have its utility recognized.<\/p>\n

The minister’s parade is clever.\u00a0She takes the opponents on the wrong foot.\u00a0Because it is to\u00a0protest<\/a>\u00a0against a reform of the baccalaureate which, among others, attributed to the\u00a0continuous control<\/a>\u00a040% of the final evaluation, that some teachers have embarked on a strike notes.\u00a0But the minister neutralizes the effects of their action by resorting to the object of their wrath!<\/p>\n

This\u00a0“technical solution”<\/a>\u00a0has the advantage of not being unfavorable to students.\u00a0In the end, only the best of the two notes will be retained: that of the CC taken provisionally into account;\u00a0that of the terminal control (CT) finally reached the jury.\u00a0This device does not deserve then to be perpetuated?<\/p>\n

The risks of continuous monitoring<\/h4>\n

Those who had surprised, even stunned, the counterpart of the minister, unanimously\u00a0denounced a breach of equality<\/a>\u00a0, between students who obtained a baccalaureate related to the final exams, and students with only one baccalaureate related to continuous monitoring, and therefore in their minds, of lesser value.\u00a0But what exactly can be blamed for\u00a0continuous monitoring<\/a>\u00a0\u00a0?<\/p>\n

There are three major criticisms.\u00a0The first, and most common, is that continuous monitoring introduces the vagaries of “localism” into a national examination.\u00a0The bin must be the same everywhere.\u00a0But does the uniqueness of a test guarantee the identity sought?\u00a0And are the correctors not different from one city, and from one region to another?\u00a0The equality guaranteed by terminal control is in reality only a fiction.<\/p>\n

The second, and more consistent, criticism is that continuous monitoring occurs, by definition, before the end of “training”.\u00a0It would therefore be fundamentally unfair, since it controls the effects of training before the candidates have been given every opportunity to control what will be controlled.<\/p>\n

But, to get your driver’s license, you can validate the code several months before driving.\u00a0Continuous monitoring can have a certificative value, if it occurs at the end of a teaching unit that can legitimately be empowered (eg at the end of a chapter or a large part of the program).\u00a0Plato said that chickens must be cut according to their natural joints!<\/p>\n

Lastly, one can criticize the continuous control of short-circuiting the examination, making the terminal note unnecessary, which is equivalent to denying its value.\u00a0But it should be noted that, as part of the “Parcoursup” program, schools and universities choose their future students before the final exams!\u00a0Their only role is to confirm and validate a posteriori, choices based essentially on results of continuous monitoring …<\/p>\n

The limits of the terminal control<\/h4>\n

This is why, at the same time, the belief in the immediate value of a terminal examination deserves to be questioned.\u00a0Two major observations can be made in this regard.\u00a0The first is that a terminal examination, a fortiori when only its results are taken into account, is a “chopper” test.\u00a0There is no longer any right to error, nor possibility of catching up.\u00a0The equity of such a test is never assured.<\/p>\n

Because, and this is the second observation, with only one terminal test per discipline, the field of probation offered to high school students is particularly narrow.\u00a0Can the jury, on this single test, say with certainty, whether or not a knowledge or a skill is mastered, in general, and perennial?<\/p>\n

The skill (s) whose mastery is targeted could have manifested itself more clearly and indisputably at other times and in other, more varied, and more open trials.<\/p>\n

No sanctification or demonization<\/h4>\n

Finally, the question to be decided is whether the ferry can be based only on terminal tests.\u00a0The challenge is to reconcile the interest of students who are candidates, with that of the company that issues diplomas.\u00a0The baccalaureate is a\u00a0permit to enter<\/a>\u00a0diploma courses, or even directly on the job market.<\/p>\n

The interest of the candidates in this license is to be treated fairly, to prove themselves without being victims of the lottery dimension inherent to any specific\u00a0event<\/a>\u00a0.\u00a0Hence the usefulness of a significant part of continuous control, allowing them to have every opportunity to show what they are capable of.<\/p>\n

The interest of the company is to ensure that the degree it delivers truly certifies a range, and level, knowledge and skills.\u00a0Hence the usefulness of a significant part of terminal control, with rigorous choice of probation situations (common assessment tests), and rigorous framing of the “evaluative reading” that the examiners will make of the work produced by the candidates.<\/p>\n

Neither of the two modalities of evaluation deserve to be sanctified, nor inversely demonized.\u00a0Finally, the difficulty here is to understand that all control is both continuous and terminal.\u00a0Terminal, because it necessarily comes after a sequence of teaching or training.\u00a0Continuous because it fits into the longer time of an activity aimed at a goal.<\/p>\n

It’s a question of knowing if, in the end, the goal is reached.\u00a0Continuous control and terminal control must therefore be implemented, not according to what would be an intrinsic interest, but according to the way in which they enlighten or not, the attainment of the goal that was pursued.\u00a0From this point of view, terminal control is only the ultimate point of continuous control.<\/p>\n
