ONLINE TRAINING FOR 100 PILOT SCHOOLS

As part of the preparations for the first piloting of the state matura, in mid-September 2020, informative meetings were organized with the directors of pilot schools where the planned time frames and activities were presented, but also the tasks, obligations and expectations of all participants in the piloting process.

During the meetings, the schools were acquainted in more detail with the plans for conducting the state matura and the concrete steps and conditions of the first piloting. It was pointed out that the goal of the first piloting of the state matura is to check the quality of exam tasks developed in the previous period by working groups for the preparation of exam materials, but also to test the principles and elements of procedures for conducting the state matura. Evaluation of piloting results should provide the information necessary for further steps and decisions. The role of pilot schools in this process is crucial, so special attention was paid to the responsibilities of the School Matura Commission, which is responsible for organizing the implementation of the state matura at the school level and the responsibilities of other participants - School Examination Commission, teachers on duty and supervisors.

Training planned to support schools for the realization of the first piloting of the state matura were held at the end of September 2020. Adapted to working conditions during the pandemic, they were held remotely, and schools were divided into groups.

The training content included the piloting plan, getting acquainted with the content of professional instructions, the results of the work of working groups, the responsibilities of various participants in the piloting process, guidelines for working with candidates with disabilities and adjusting technical conditions.

All training was attended by representatives of educational institutions - the Ministry, the Provincial Secretariat for Education, the Institute for the Improvement of Education, the Institute for Education Quality and Evaluation and the Pedagogical Institute of Vojvodina.
