Changes in the Unified State Examination in Biology in 2017

Posted on 10.09.2016 by Boris Sadykov

Hello, dear readers of the biology tutor blog via Skype.

Finally, I have the opportunity to give an intelligible answer to your many questions about changes in the Unified State Examination in biology in 2017.

Rumors have long been circulating that “a significant innovation for 11th grade graduates will be the abandonment of the TEST form of final exam assignments in three disciplines: physics, chemistry, biology. This major change in exam format is an attempt to reduce the ability to intuitively guess the correct answer.”

Yes, yes, very absurd rumors that the test part will supposedly be deleted.

Was the Unified State Exam bad in its previous form?

The rumors were reinforced by the fact that even from the very inception of the Unified State Exam, as a form of certification of students, which allows students to be enrolled in a university based on the results of passing the Unified State Exam, this form of exam was criticized for the fact that it allegedly would not be able to ensure the normal acquisition of knowledge, leading only to “training” "on memorization rather than understanding the material.

But only those who themselves had never taught at school or university could think so. From the very beginning, the exam in the form of the Unified State Exam included, in addition to test parts (), necessary to test students’ knowledge of a huge terminological base, also ( estimated to be three times more expensive than Part A).

Therefore, no matter how much space the Part A tests took up in the examination paper, the points obtained by simply guessing the correct answer (and the chance of guessing is quite large - 25%) was still not enough even to pass the barrier of three.

The Federal Institute of Pedagogical Measurements (FIPI) dispels all rumors

On August 26, 2016, FIPI on its official website published projects documents regulating the structure and content of control measuring materials of the Unified State Exam 2017.

Let's look Codifier. There are no . In order to prepare well for the exam, you must, as before, study biology comprehensively in the following 7 blocks:

First block“Biology as a science. Methods of scientific knowledge" controls material about the achievements of biology, research methods, and the main levels of organization of living nature.

Second block“The Cell as a Biological System” contains tasks that test: knowledge about the structure, life activity and diversity of cells; the ability to establish the relationship between the structure and functions of cell organelles, recognize and compare cells of different organisms, the processes occurring in them.

Third block“Organism as a biological system” controls the assimilation of knowledge about the laws of heredity and variability, about the ontogenesis and reproduction of organisms, about the selection of organisms
and biotechnology, and also reveals the level of mastery of the ability to apply biological knowledge when solving problems in genetics.

In the fourth The block “System and diversity of the organic world” tests: knowledge about the diversity, structure, life activity and reproduction of organisms of various kingdoms of living nature and viruses;
the ability to compare organisms, characterize and determine their belonging to a specific systematic taxon.

Fifth block“The human body and its health” is aimed at determining the level of mastery of the system of knowledge about the structure and vital functions of the human body.

To the sixth block“Evolution of Living Nature” includes tasks aimed at controlling: knowledge about the species, driving forces, directions and results of the evolution of the organic world; skills to explain the main aromorphoses in the evolution of flora and fauna, to establish the relationship between the driving forces and results of evolution.

Seventh block“Ecosystems and their inherent patterns” contains tasks aimed at testing: knowledge about environmental patterns, the cycle of substances in the biosphere; skills to establish relationships between organisms in ecosystems, identify causes of sustainability,
self-development and change of ecosystems.

But there are indeed changes in the 2017 CMM compared to the 2016 CMM ( see Demo versions, specifications, Unified State Exam codifiers 2017. Biology)

These changes mainly concern the optimization of the very structure of the examination paper :

1. Tasks in the form of one digit corresponding to the number of the correct answer are excluded.
2. The total number of tasks has been reduced from 40 to 28.
3. The maximum primary score has been reduced from 61 to 59.
4. The duration of the examination work has been increased from 180 to 210 minutes.
5. Part 1 includes new types of tasks that differ significantly in the types of learning activities : filling in the missing elements of a diagram or table, finding the correctly indicated symbols in the figure, analyzing and synthesizing information, including that presented in the form of graphs, diagrams and tables with statistical data.

New structure of KIM Unified State Exam in 2017

Thus, each version of the CMM exam paper now contains only 28 tasks and consists of 2 parts, varying in form and level of complexity.

Part 1 contains 21 tasks:

Most tasks (7 tasks), as before, with choosing from ready-made answers. This is what was previously included in the part A. Only now students are asked to choose not 1 correct answer out of 4 proposed, but 2-3 answers out of 5-7 proposed.

This, in fact, is where all the fuss lies about the rumors about eliminating the test part from the exams. As we see, only the former part has been shortened and changed A. Test tasks related earlier to the part IN, it became even more:

6 tasks - to establish compliance;
3 tasks - to establish the sequence of biological processes, phenomena, objects, systematic taxa;
2 tasks - to solve biological problems in cytology and genetics;
1 task – to supplement the missing information in the diagram;
1 task – to complete the missing information in the table;
1 task - to analyze information presented in graphical or tabular form ((these last three types of tasks are completely new for the Unified State Exam, so students and biology tutors should pay special attention to how to answer them).

You should be very, very scrupulous in filling out the answer forms for the examination work of Part 1 (do not leave any cells missing), since this test part of the work, as before, is assessed by a “ruthless” computer.

Part 2 contains 7 tasks with detailed answers.

In these tasks, as before, the answer is formulated and written down by the examinee independently in detailed form. The tasks of this part of the work are essentially aimed at identifying biological talents - graduates with a very high level of biological training.

The table below shows how tasks from various blocks of the Codifier are distributed in the exam paper in Part 1 and Part 2.

As you can see, all sections of biology in Part 1 and Part 2 of any version of the examination paper should be distributed equally. That is, there should not be any “distortions” in terms of the fact that in some version there would be, for example, a lot of botany, and in another there would be a lot of human biology.

The table below shows the maximum number of primary points that can now be obtained for the first and second parts of the examination paper.

We see, as before, students have the opportunity to receive O the largest share in the assessment (66%) is for test part of the work(this answers the question that tests will be canceled starting from 2017).

conclusions

The strategy itself in preparation for passing the Unified State Exam in biology in 2017 should. It is necessary to study biology using various school textbooks and reference materials within the framework of the same main 7 sections of the Codifier.

Since the test part of the examination paper has undergone significant changes, now, “without delaying it,” you should study it very carefully Demo version of KIM Unified State Exam 2017 of the year. Pay special attention to the correct completion of the answer forms for the assignments presented in the new form.

In general, I can state that passing the biology exam in 2017 will be much more difficult than before (there is no longer the opportunity to get completely “free” points for simply guessing). It will be more difficult to achieve both the minimum threshold and get the maximum number of points. But, the main thing is that the versions of the examination papers themselves do not differ much from each other in complexity, so that all applicants are placed in approximately equal conditions.

The proposed manual is addressed to high school students and applicants for preparing for the Unified State Exam in Biology. The biology exam is one of the exams that a secondary school graduate takes as an option. The Unified State Examination is carried out using tasks of a standardized form - control measuring materials (CMM), which test biological knowledge for the entire school course from grades 5 to 11. The main criterion for selecting tasks was their statistical characteristics and the degree of difficulty in the corresponding intervals: basic level - 60-85%, advanced level - 30-60%, high level - 5-30%. This ensured a fairly high scientific and methodological level of KIM in biology, objectivity of tasks, parallelism of all options, compliance of Unified State Exam options with the codifier and specification.
The content of the test at the Unified State Exam includes knowledge and skills in all sections of the school course, which form the invariant core of the content of biological education and which are reflected in the 2004 standard for basic and advanced levels, in various biology curricula recommended by the Ministry of Education and Science Russia for use in educational institutions.
A significant place in the work is given to the control of theoretical knowledge and general biological patterns that manifest themselves at different levels of organization of living nature. These include theories: cellular, chromosomal, evolutionary; laws of heredity and variability; ecological patterns of biosphere development. From the basic school, material about the classification, structure, and vital functions of organisms from different kingdoms of living nature, their role in nature and human life is tested. In addition, the test tasks test material of a practical nature, such as the consequences of human activity on the environment, compliance with disease prevention measures and healthy lifestyle rules, behavioral norms in nature, solving biological problems, etc.

SPECIFICATION
control measuring materials
Unified State Exam 2017 in BIOLOGY

1. Purpose of KIM Unified State Exam

The Unified State Exam (hereinafter referred to as the Unified State Exam) is a form of objective assessment of the quality of training of persons who have mastered educational programs of secondary general education, using tasks of a standardized form (control measurement materials).

The Unified State Examination is conducted in accordance with the Federal Law of December 29, 2012 No. 273-FZ “On Education in the Russian Federation.”

Control measuring materials make it possible to establish the level of mastery by graduates of the Federal component of the state standard of secondary (complete) general education in biology, the basic and specialized level.

The results of the unified state exam in biology are recognized by educational organizations of secondary vocational education and educational organizations of higher education.
professional education as the results of entrance tests in biology.

2. Documents defining the content of the Unified State Exam KIM

3. Approaches to selecting content and developing the structure of the Unified State Exam KIM

The basis for the development of the Unified State Exam KIM is the invariant core of the content of biological education, which is reflected in the Federal component of the state standard of secondary (complete) general education, various sample programs and textbooks recommended by the Ministry of Education and Science of Russia for use in the implementation of state-accredited educational programs of secondary general education in biology.
KIM Unified State Exam tests graduates’ mastery of knowledge and skills in the main sections of the biology course: “Plants”, “Bacteria. Mushrooms. Lichens”, “Animals”, “Man and his health”, “General biology”. This allows the test to cover the main content of the course and ensure the content validity of the CMM. The content of the KIM Unified State Exam does not go beyond the scope of the high school biology course and does not depend on what program and what textbook is taught in a particular educational organization.

The examination work is dominated by tasks in the “General Biology” section, since it integrates and generalizes the factual knowledge acquired in basic school, and examines general biological patterns that manifest themselves at different levels of the organization of living nature. These include: cellular, chromosomal, evolutionary theories; laws of heredity and variability; ecological patterns of biosphere development.

Assignments that control the degree of mastery of knowledge and skills cover the most significant issues in the content of the biology course and test the graduates’ level of scientific worldview and biological competence.

4. Structure of KIM Unified State Exam

Each version of the CMM examination paper contains 28 tasks and consists of two parts that differ in form and level of complexity. Part 1 contains 21 tasks:

7 - multiple choice with or without a picture;
6 - to establish correspondence with or without a picture;
3 - to establish the sequence of systematic taxa, biological objects, processes, phenomena;
2 - to solve biological problems in cytology and genetics;
1 - to supplement the missing information in the diagram;
1 - to supplement the missing information in the table;
1 - to analyze information presented in graphical or tabular form.

The answer to the tasks of Part 1 is given by the corresponding entry in the form of a word (phrase), number or sequence of numbers written without spaces or separating characters.

Part 2 contains 7 tasks with detailed answers. In these tasks, the answer is formulated and written down by the examinee independently in detailed form. The tasks of this part of the work are aimed at identifying graduates with a high level of biological training.

In part 1, tasks 1-21 are grouped into content blocks presented in the codifier, which provides more accessible
perception of information. In part 2, tasks are grouped depending on the types of learning activities being tested and in accordance with thematic affiliation.

The proposed manual is addressed to high school students and graduates to prepare for the Unified State Exam in Biology. The biology exam is one of the exams that a secondary school graduate takes as an option. The Unified State Examination is carried out using tasks of a standardized form - control measuring materials (CMM), which test biological knowledge for the entire school course from grades 5 to 11. In 2017, special emphasis was placed on strengthening the activity basis and practice-oriented orientation of KIM. This required adjusting approaches to constructing a new examination paper and including tasks of a new format.
The basis for the development of the Unified State Exam KIM, as in previous years, is the invariant core of the content of biological education, which is reflected in the State educational standard of secondary (complete) general education, various sample programs and textbooks recommended by the Russian Ministry of Education and Science for use in the implementation of state-accredited educational programs secondary general education in biology.
The content of control measurement materials covers all sections of the biology course in primary and secondary schools. The object of control is the knowledge and skills of schoolchildren, formed while studying all sections of the biology course: “Plants”, “Bacteria. Mushrooms. Lichens”, “Animals”, “Man and his health”, “General biology”. This allows the test to cover the main content of the course and ensure the validity of control measurement materials. The examination work is still dominated by tasks in the “General Biology” section, since it integrates and generalizes the factual knowledge acquired in basic school and secondary school, and examines general biological patterns that manifest themselves at different levels of the organization of living nature. The content of the KIM Unified State Exam does not go beyond the biology course of a specialized secondary school and does not depend on what program and what textbook is taught at school.

The biology exam is selective and only those who are confident in their knowledge will take it. The Unified State Exam in biology is considered a difficult subject, since it tests the knowledge accumulated over all years of study.

The Unified State Exam (USE) tasks in biology are of different types; solving them requires solid knowledge of the main topics of the school biology course. Based on this, teachers developed over 10 test tasks on each topic.

Topics that need to be studied when completing assignments, see from FIPI. Each task has its own algorithm of actions that will help in solving problems.

Changes in KIM Unified State Examination 2019 in biology:

The model of the task in line 2 has been changed. Instead of a multiple choice task worth 2 points, a task on working with a table worth 1 point has been included.
The maximum primary score decreased by 1 and amounted to 58 points.

Structure of Unified State Examination tasks in biology:

Part 1– these are tasks from 1 to 21 with a short answer; approximately 5 minutes are allotted for completion.

Advice: Read the wording of the questions carefully.

Part 2– these are tasks from 22 to 28 with a detailed answer; approximately 10-20 minutes are allotted for completion.

Advice: express your thoughts in a literary manner, answer the question in detail and comprehensively, define biological terms, even if this is not required in the assignments. The answer should have a plan, not write in continuous text, but highlight points.
