What has changed: the scores
Le written tests this year they will take place in presencewhile for the oral the possibility of connecting remains remotely for candidates unable to leave their home, a condition that will, in any case, be documented. They change credits and grades: 50 credit points for the three-year period and 50 for the tests (15 for the first, 10 for the second, 25 for the oral exam). 5 bonus points will be awarded to students who arrive at the exam with 50 credit points and in the tests they will get at least 30 points. Honors can only be taken by students who have taken the maximum amount of credits and the maximum in the tests, without having used the 5 bonus points. Regarding the criteria for admission, participation in the Invalsi tests and the carrying out of courses for transversal skills and orientation will not be among the requirements. There are also some new features in the structure and traces of the second test.
The first test
The first written test, or the theme of ItalianSara The same for everyone regardless of the field of study. A track will be chosen to play in a maximum of six hours with the only help of the Italian vocabulary. There are three types of tracks: the first is text analysis. The Miur proposes two possible texts to choose from, which can be a piece of prose or a poem by an Italian author who lived in the period from the Unification of Italy to today. The second type is the argumentative text, news from last year. In this case there are three traces, and they can be in scope artistic, literary, philosophical, historical, economic, social, technological, scientific. One of the traces will necessarily be of historical context. Finally, the third type concerns theactuality: two traces of “general themes” will be provided, close to the experiences of the graduates.
Toto-tracks
Of course the authors of the first type are not known, but hypotheses can be made, starting with anniversaries important this year. It will probably not fail Dante, given that the celebrations for the 700th anniversary of his death began in September. This year also marks the 100th anniversary of the disappearance of Giovanni Vergaas well as the 125 years since the birth of Eugenio Montale. Finally, we can add to the candidate list Giovanni Pascoliwho died exactly 110 years ago.
Always following the same logic, among the historical themes could arise, for example, Giuseppe Mazzini (150 years from death), Pearl Harbour (80 years old), the attack at twin towers (20 years) or the treaty of Maastricht (30 years). In addition, this year also marks the Platinum Jubilee of the Queen Elizabeth II.
For the two tracks of actuality on the other hand, according to a Skuola.net survey of 3,000 graduates, 44% of the participants imagine that one will surely be on the war in Ukraine or, wanting to broaden the view, on ‘international crises’; 21% focus in particular on ‘Covid and post pandemic‘. Crumbs for other ideas, from the ‘energy crisis’ to ‘young people and work’, from ‘civil rights’ to ‘environment and pollution’.
The second test
The second written test is multidisciplinaryand it is different for each field of study: afor example, Latin language and culture for the Classical high school, Mathematics for it ScientificBusiness Administration per l’technical InstituteEconomic sector, “Administration, finance and marketing” specialization, Hygiene and medical-health culture for theProfessional InstituteServices Sector, Address “Socio-sanitary services”. They will then be the teachers of the respective subjects to elaborate the three tracks. The duration The test will vary according to the study areas, but generally starts at 8.30 and has a maximum duration of 6-8 hours.
The oral
Il final interview it will open with the analysis of a material chosen by the commission, which could be a text, a document, a problem or a project. We will proceed with the verification of the skills of Civicsand the oral will conclude with the presentation of the experiences made in the context of Pathways for transversal skills and guidance (PCTO). La commission will consist of six internal commissioners and an external President.
Covid rules: masks and listeners
Dedicated paths and signs for entry and exit, large rooms, presence of sanitizing products in several points of the building: the circular from the Ministry of Education which followed the ordinance of the Minister of Health Roberto Speranza, specifies various organizational issues concerning the organization of state exams at the time of Covid. “THE locals must be sufficiently wide to allow the distancing to all present “, reads the note masks it is only recommended “in some circumstances such as, for example, the impossibility of guaranteeing interpersonal distancing of at least one meter”. L’oral will be supported by the boys without bezel. The presence of listeners but respecting the distance.
