From 2010, high school graduates must take a mandatory mathematics exam. Earlier, there was no such necessity for 25 years. More and more often You can hear the voices of people claiming that one should return to this rule. All thanks to the petition, whose author is Anna Drożdż, a psychologist and mother of a high school student.
“Not every student has a predisposition to study mathematics at the matura level, and its obligatory causes stress and mental burden, which often negatively affects the mental health of young people,” she wrote. Over 21,000 people signed. Many of our interlocutors and readers agree with the mother’s postulate and admit that Matura exam in the basic level is not only a curse for students, it does not bring anything good yet.
My godson is this year’s high school graduate. He loves history and is going to political science. He is afraid, however, that by mathematics, he will not have a high school diploma. Although he goes to tutoring, this content is unbeatable for him. You will take this high school diploma, it will do it well for everyone!
– The interlocutor told me and added that there will certainly be a large group of people who would want to pass her anyway to apply for technical directions.
He did not pass mathematics. “For 27 years, no functions were useful to me”
One of our readers, Mr. Maciej (name changed to the needs of the article), after reading our text about the fact that he shared his own opinion in the commentary. He admitted that he went to school himself, when mathematics was optional and enjoys this fact.
I belong to a generation that had a choice between mathematics and history. For 27 years from the matura exam, no trigonometry, functions, equations, logarithms, integrals, short multiplication patterns were useful in my life
– writes the reader and adds that Instead of issues unnecessary for anything, it would be better to focus on reading statistical and stock exchange data, teaching loan and tax settlement advice, and presenting data on charts. “Mathematics in high school in this respect is a difficult and incomprehensible subject. It certainly does not check logical thinking. It is not only about stress, but about the lack of motivation to learn mathematics” – he noted, and the end added that he added that Mathematics should be optional.
Recruitment for studies should decide about her passing. It is also necessary to return exams to studies
– he summed up.
Mathematician about mathematics at the high school diploma. “There is a high risk”
Anna Żmuda, a tutor and mathematician, some time ago in an interview with Edziecko.pl revealed her opinion on the obligatory mathematics at the maturity exam. The tutor did not change in words, writing to us that If the mathematics exam disappears, the level of teaching will be even lower than before.
It should not disappear! She was not in the mandatory exam for 25 years. Over the past 10 years, you can see that the level of logical thinking has fallen quite strongly
she argued. In her opinion, there is a high risk that If the mathematics matura exam is actually not compulsory, students will stop applying to learn this subject.
And you, dear Internet users, do you think that the mathematics high school diploma at the basic level should be liquidated? Or on the contrary? Let me know in the comments or write to me an email: magdalena.wrobel@grupagazeta.pl.
