Nuwe studie bevraagteken waarde van graadherhaling voor matriek<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Noudat die stof oor die matriekuitslae-vierings gaan l\u00ea het en die skooljaar in volle gang is, moet ons met groter dringendheid ondersoek of ho\u00eb herhalingsyfers in gr. 10 en gr. 11 geregverdig is en of ons te veel klem op matriekuitslae l\u00ea.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

D\u00edt is die kernboodskap aan beleidmakers van dr. Rebecca Selkirk, wat onlangs haar doktorsgraad in ekonomie aan die Universiteit Stellenbosch verwerf het. Sy het graadherhaling en matriekuitslae vir haar PhD ondersoek. Selkirk wys daarop dat sowat 1,5 miljoen leerders elke jaar van gr. 1 tot en met gr. 12 voor die Covid 19-pandemie herhaal het (sowat 12% van die ingeskrewe leerders), met sowat een derde van alle herhalings wat in die aanloop tot matriek (gr. 10 en gr. 11) voorgekom het.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Sowat \u0149 derde (31%) van gr. 10-leerders en byna \u0149 kwart (24%) van gr. 11-leerders het aan die einde van 2019 hul grade herhaal.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cOns bestee baie geld daaraan om leerders in gr. 10 en gr. 11 te behou, waar die doeltreffendheid van herhaling onduidelik en die gepaardgaande uitvalrisiko die hoogste is. Desondanks het herhaling in hierdie grade min navorsings- of beleidsaandag gekry,\u201d s\u00ea Selkirk.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

As deel van haar doktorale studie het Selkirk die verband tussen herhalingsyfers in gr. 11 en die matriekslaagsyfer in Wes-Kaapse skole v\u00f3\u00f3r en gedurende die Covid 19-pandemie (2018\u20132021) ondersoek. Sy het \u0149 positiewe verband gevind tussen ho\u00eb gr. 11-herhalingskoerse en beter matriekuitslae, wat volgens haar kan aandui dat \u201cskole (danksy ho\u00ebr matriekslaagsyfers) by ‘hekwag’-toegang tot matriek kan baat vind \u2013 en\/of dat die herhaling van gr. 11 leerders help om in te haal en hul kanse verbeter om matriek te slaag\u201d.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"Dr.
Dr. Rebecca Selkirk<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

\u201cToe herhalingsyfers in die Wes-Kaap einde 2020 egter danksy pandemieverwante toegeeflikheid aansienlik gedaal het (van 12% tot 6%), het di\u00e9 positiewe verband interessant genoeg kleiner \u00e9n minder betekenisvol geword,\u201d merk sy op.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Selkirk het voorts geraam hoe die Wes-Kaap se matriekuitslae in 2020 en 2021 in die afwesigheid van die pandemie sou gelyk het, met die aanname dat die 2018- en 2019-uitkomste op die baie laer gr. 11-herhalingsvlakke van toepassing was.\u201cRamings het getoon dat skole se prestasie in 2021 baie beter was as wat in die lig van die laer herhalingsyfers verwag is. Dit was veral die geval in skole met minder hulpbronne (Kwintiel 1 tot 4), waar die veranderings in herhalingspatrone die duidelikste was en leerders na verwagting meer aan die nadelige impak van die pandemie blootgestel sou wees.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Volgens Selkirk het d\u00edt vrae laat ontstaan oor of laer herhalingsyfers die 2021-matriekuitslae onbedoeld kon opgeblaas het deur die puntstandaardiseringsproses te be\u00efnvloed. \u201cAs graadinflasie nie die oorsaak was nie, ontlok dit ook \u0149 ander vraag: Moet toegelaat word dat gr. 11-herhalingsyfers na vlakke voor die pandemie terugkeer as skole se \u2018winste\u2019 danksy die handhawing van ho\u00eb herhalingsyfers kunsmatig en slegs van toepassing was in \u0149 stelsel waar herhaling wyd voorgekom het?\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Sy s\u00ea die nasionale matriekprestasie was voorts op sigwaarde beter as verwag, ondanks selfs groter dalings in herhaling (nasionale gr. 11-herhalingsyfers het van 24% tot 11% gedaal). \u201cN\u00e1 \u0149 aanvanklike daling en stabilisering in 2020 en 2021 het die matriek- en baccalaureus-slaagsyfers teen 2023 en 2024 rekords oortref. En in absolute syfers was matrieksukses oor die tydperk 2020 tot 2024 verstommend: hierdie vyf jaar het die pre-pandemie-ekwivalent van ses en \u0149 half volle jare se matriekslaagsyfers opgelewer, en baccalaureus-slaagsyfers die ekwivalent van meer as agt jaar.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In die lig van hierdie verrassende uitslae het Selkirk nasionale matriekuitslae ondersoek om te verken of waarneembare eienskappe van leerders \u2013 soos \u0149 ho\u00ebr ouderdomsprofiel (wat op herhaling dui), vakkeuse en relatiewe akademiese vermo\u00eb \u2013 matriekprestasie en die veranderinge daarin tussen 2011, 2019, 2021 en 2023 kan verklaar. Sy het bevind dat ondanks groot verskuiwings in vakkeuses en matriekouderdomsprofiele oor tyd heen, min van die algehele verbetering in uitslae teen 2023 verklaar kon word deur hierdie en ander faktore wat in haar modelle ingesluit is.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In haar interpretasie van hierdie uitslae maan Selkirk dat ofskoon onbedoelde graadinflasie moontlik \u0149 rol in ho\u00ebr as verwagte matriekprestasie kon gespeel het, dit onwaarskynlik is dat dit die enigste oorsaak sou wees \u2013 veral om die verbeterings n\u00e1 2021 te verduidelik, waar “skokke” van die herhalingskoerse nie so groot was soos di\u00e9 wat einde 2020 ervaar is nie.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cDis moontlik dat pandemieverwante ondersteuningsprogramme meer as vergoed het vir enige leerverliese en dat hierdie bykomende ondersteuning meer voordelig as herhaling was vir leerders wat voor die pandemie normaalweg gr. 10 en\/of gr. 11 sou herhaal het.\u201d Sy verduidelik voorts dit is ook moontlik dat laer herhalingsyfers op sigself voordelig was (byvoorbeeld danksy kleiner klasgroottes en die vermyding van \u0149 nadelige psigososiale uitwerking soos akademiese onttrekking op moontlike herhalers).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cIn 2023 was daar die hoogste proporsie matriekkandidate met die regte ouderdom vir hul graad tot nog toe \u2013 \u0149 faktor wat gewoonlik positief met prestasie geassosieer word,\u201d verduidelik Selkirk. Sy wys op onlangse bewyse wat toon dat herhalingsyfers in gr. 10 en gr. 11 terugkeer na die ho\u00eb vlakke wat voor die Covid 19-pandemie waargeneem is, wat daarop dui dat ho\u00eb herhalingsyfers sonder beleidsingryping sal voortduur.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cDaar is genoeg bewyse wat daarop dui dat ons ho\u00eb gr. 10- en gr. 11-herhalingsyfers moontlik nie geregverdig is nie en dat alternatiewe vir herhaling ewe of meer voordelig vir sukkelende leerders kan wees. Meer navorsing is dringend op hierdie gebied nodig, want die potensi\u00eble kostebesparings kan hulpbronne vir verbeterings elders in die onderwysstelsel beskikbaar stel.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Selkirk doen ook \u0149 beroep vir \u0149 kleiner algehele klem op matriekslaagsyfers. \u201cAs ons te veel klem op matriekslaagsyfers plaas, loop ons die risiko om skole aan te spoor om besluite te neem soos om hierdie ho\u00eb herhalingsyfers te handhaaf, \u2018makliker\u2019 vakkeuses aan te moedig en hulpbronne slegs op matriek te fokus. Dit sal ten beste suboptimaal en ten slegste skadelik vir leerders of die onderwysstelsel as geheel wees.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
