Sounds weird. Maybe. According to preliminary assumptions, such an exam will soon become a reality. Specifically, students will be tested in physical education, food and health, arts and crafts and music. The originators want not only to strengthen and make students' horizons more attractive, but also to have a positive impact on the current status of these subjects. So far, lessons on this topic are not always treated by students, as, for example, classes in languages, mathematics or physics are. How will the idea be accepted in practice? When will the first exams take place?
How did you come to that?
We give the floor to the originator himself. They are very committed to the topic.
Examinations in practical and aesthetic subjects can help raise the status of these subjects. For some time now we have been receiving requests for... possibility of joining for the exam in these subjects. Students will have the opportunity to demonstrate what skills they have acquired in a wider range of subjects than the current examination system allows. In new ones curricula more subjects will become more practical and scientific-cognitive. Then it is natural to the exam must stay adapted to this. This could mean, for example, an oral exam in mathematics will include programming topics.” – noted Jan Tore Sanner (H) in an interview for Aftenposten.
Is it good idea?
The form of taking exams will also change. Students will approach written and oral exam. Are such changes necessary? Opinions are divided here. There is a large group of enthusiasts of this idea. There are also those who say directly: “Such changes will only increase quantity of material to be mastered by young people. And they still have a lot of science.” What will this look like in practice? Will the above-mentioned subjects remain exam subjects for longer? We'll wait and see.
