PERUVIAN TEACHERS TEST'S RESULTS
14 days ago, Peruvian professors of Basic Education, Basic Alternative, Advanced Secondary and Productive Technical Secondary surrendered a national exam, in order to be permanently hired by the Ministry of Education of the Peru, eventuality that would grant them stability and certain academic-monetary benefits. Of the : 183 118 examined professors, alone approved with note of 14 or but (of a maximum of 20): 151 (0,082%). A result to which it is necessary to add the circumstance that 6 years ago, primary and secondary peruvian students of private and public schools ended up last in tests of logical-mathematical reasoning and reading understanding, carried out in Latin American contexts (Test: PISA/Unesco). Although some have labeled the results as : a catastrophe, we prefer to call it a sui generis situation, thinking that the time is mature for a refundation of the Peruvian education, well-known for their scarce achievements and disconnectión with the solution of their own problems.
A refundatión that should have 2 mainlines: I) The urgent continuous connection (with constantly feed backs), among the inferior strata (primary and secondary) and those but high of creation or of technological application (universities and investigation centers). There is a need to built with urgency this purpose, imitating the examples of the national plans of Argentina, Chile and Spain, to mention countries of hispanic speech II) The new system should be open (without limits, neither discrimination for age), been founded in a creative learning, non stressing, with acquisition of precise knowledge in certain areas and others in which the students should decide of motu proprio, among several options to choose one. Instead of that based on school years of fixed beginning and specific morning schedule, we should prefer and take care that students must approve certain number of obligatory modules independently of if the student study in hollidays, afternoons or in the evennings.The important thing is that he demonstrates that he knows the topic (alone they pass those that know, without gauss curve of for half). Some non obligatory modules could be good to favor the access to certain areas.
With the above mentioned help it is but easy to analyze next, some areas of criticism : a) The questions of the exam. Grace to information of some blogs we have taken knowledge on behalf of part of the 100 questions and a psychological test the same that had a duration of 4 hours. Having participated recently in 2 national exams (admission to the UNMSM and colleges of USA), this knowledge facilitates us a punctual observation. In the mentioned centers, the questions are known ahead of time. As long as the exams, are considered as an extension of the learning, it is not an objective to put the question more difficult to the student or the professor, but those but common with slight variants. Both centers also count, with academies of preparation afforded a priori with educational objectives and hundred of books and manuals of help in this respect (SAT, ACT, previous to the exam). The one that studies well, approves the exam. The not previous existence of questions, manuals or books of knowledge publish, it is an error that could force to a repetition of the test.
b) The curve of Gauss. In Peru 21, an outstanding professor pleads for the construction of a curve of Gauss for this exam that far from validating to an elite (0,58%), had for object to establish a bigger flexibility. This professor is confused. It is not necessary to mix the teaching-learning process with political postures or of accommodation and to continue forming mediocre professors. To pass this alone test it is a road: to get ready. c) Concerning to the test, excepting 5% of disconnected questions of the context (religion, politics or local topics in excess, but that national), it is well because it emphasizes logical-mathematical aspects and others that demand to exercise abilities like to sense, to reason, to argue, to communicate, to model and to outline and to solve problems. Some questions with redundant language could be cut out at a 1/3, for not tiring the student or professor. Independently of the results of the test, the results, urge to reform the Peruvian curriculum of studies (to be implemented by national and international experts).

RESULTADOS de EXAMEN a PROFESORES PERUANOS.
Hace 14 días, profesores peruanos de Educación Básica Regular, Basica Alternativa, Secundaria Avanzada y Secundaria Técnico Productivo rindieron un examen nacional, a fin de ser nombrados por el Ministerio de Educacion del Perú, eventualidad que les concedería estabilidad y ciertos beneficios académico-monetarios. De los 183 118 profesores examinados, solo aprobaron con nota de 14 o mas (de un máximo de 20): 151 (0,082 %). Un resultado al que hay que agregar la circunstancia de que hace 6 años, estudiantes de primaria y secundaria de colegios privados y públicos peruanos quedaron últimos en pruebas de razonamiento lógico-matemático y comprensión de lectura, llevadas a cabo en contextos latinoamericanos (Test: PISA/Unesco). Aunque algunos han etiquetado de catástrofe a esta situación, nosotros que preferimos llamarla sui generis, pensamos que el tiempo está maduro para refundar la educación peruana, bastante conocida por sus escasos logros y desconexión con la solución de sus propios problemas.
Una refundación que debe tener 2 lineas matrices : I) La urgente conexión continua (retroalimentada constantemente), entre los estratos inferiores (primaria y secundaria) y los mas altos de creación de nuevo conocimiento o de aplicación tecnológica (universidades y centros de investigación). Hay que construír con urgencia este propósito, imitando los ejemplos de los planes nacionales de Argentina, Chile y España, por mencionar países de habla hispana II) El nuevo sistema debería ser abierto (sin limite, ni discriminación por edad), fundada en un aprendizaje creativo, no estresante, con adquisición de conocimientos precisos en ciertas áreas y otros en los que los alumnos debiesen decidir de motu proprio, entre varias opciones. Mas que basados en años escolares de inicio fijo y horario determinado, lo que más debería importar es aprobar un número determinado de módulos obligatorios en los que el alumno demuestre que conoce el tema (solo pasan los que saben, sin curva de gauss de por medio). Algunos módulos no obligatorios podrían servir para favorecer el acceso a áreas determinadas.

Al amparo de lo anterior es mas fácil analizar a continuacion, algunas areas de friccion. a) Las preguntas del examen. Hace 2 dias, merced a información de algunos blogs tomamos conocimiento de parte de las 100 preguntas incluido un test psicológico, el mismo que tuvo una duración de 4 horas. El haber participado recientemente en 2 exámenes nacionales (admisión a la UNMSM y colleges de USA), nos posibilita una observación puntual. En los centros mencionados, las preguntas son conocidas de antemano. En tanto los exámenes, son considerados como una extensión del aprendizaje, no es un objetivo ponerle la pregunta más difícil al alumno o al profesor, sino las mas comunes con ligeras variantes. Ambos centros cuentan además, con academias de preparación premunidas a priori de los objetivos educacionales y cientos de libros y manuales de ayuda al respecto (SAT, ACT, previo al examen). El que estudia bien, aprueba el examen. La no existencia previa de preguntas, manuales o libros de conocimiento publico, es un error que podría forzar a una repetición de la prueba.
b) La curva de Gauss. En Perú 21, un destacado profesor aboga por la construcción de una curva de Gauss para este examen, que lejos de validar a una élite (0,58%), tuviese por objeto establecer una mayor flexibilidad. Este profesor está confundido. No hay que mezclar la enseñanza-aprendizaje con posturas políticas o de acomodo y continuar formando profesores mediocres. Para pasar esta prueba solo queda un camino : prepararse. c) Tocante a la prueba, exceptuando un 5% de preguntas desconectadas del contexto (religión, política o temas locales en exceso, más que nacionales), está bien porque enfatiza aspectos lógico-matemáticos y otros que demandan ejercitar habilidades como intuir, razonar, argumentar, comunicar, modelar y plantear y solucionar problemas. Algunas preguntas con lenguaje redundante podrían ser recortadas a 1/3 de su fraseo, para no fatigar al alumno o profesor. Independientemente de los resultados de la prueba, los resultados de la prueba, urgen a reformar el curriculum de estudios peruano (a ser implementado por expertos nacionales e internacionales).

Terrible resultado pero era predecible . En estos momentos que se habla de igual de oportunidades es una lástima que estos profesores sean los destinados a educar a los sectores más pobres de la población peruana.
Los chinos dicen que donde hay desgracias hay tambien grandes oportunidades. Esta es la oportunidad para cambiarlo todo.atte.vmm
