In closed groups – and 13 thousand each. students
With a news portal lrytas.lt editorial contact professor (the first and last names are known by the editorial board – last aut.). She told her that, to the best of her knowledge, the dozens had started forming groups on various platforms, such as Facebook or Discord, and sharing tasks and their responses. In some groups, the number of members reaches 13 thousand.
“They share answers and tasks, and even different flows with different tasks don’t prevent it. They place the smart device unnoticed so that the executor cannot see it, navigate and thus share the answers.
I think this is a very big problem and a real fact that this year’s PUPP results will not reflect the actual results, ”the teacher wrote.
He also sent photos showing how the students are changing their solutions, discussing whether the answers are correct.
The National Education Agency (NSA) in turn to the portal lrytas.lt confirmed that cases of unfair treatment had been reported. According to her, administrators have already been notified of such accounts, asking to block them.
“It has been repeatedly emphasized that during inspection tasks, the task execution system automatically detects if you leave a test environment window, try to open other computer windows, take screenshots, or use another monitor. As a result of these impossible actions, the student may be excluded from the achievement test and their work may not be appreciated.
Preliminary data from the system shows that about 3.7 percent. tenths disconnected from the electronic test system window or performed other impossible actions, including taking screenshots. However, a significant number of disconnections from the system window may have occurred for objective reasons: electricity, internet connection or similar was lost, ”the agency explained.
Violations will be recorded
According to the representatives of the NSA, after the evaluation of the students’ work, the school evaluation commissions will receive the results of each student from the electronic test system, which will be marked with how many and what impossible actions were recorded.
The jurors will review the progress of the inspection and decide how to deal with potentially dishonest students.
The NSA lamented that by tricking young people they only hurt themselves.
“The basic test of educational achievement benefits the students themselves, as it allows them to assess what and where there are gaps in their knowledge, what else they need to learn, deepen their knowledge before the maturity exams, so by acting dishonestly , they hurt themselves first. “said the reply.
This is not the first time security has been questioned
A few weeks ago the portal lrytas.lt described another situation where this year’s PUPP tasks may not have been hidden in the NSA’s own system.
“My son did not know the results of his mock exams, so I decided to use the Google search engine and find them myself. What I found in the first search box made me anxious,” said the student’s father. contacted the editorial staff.
The man explained that by searching for the keywords “test puppy results”, he found a link that led to a work planning environment on the Trello system, where without any additional login or computer skills it was possible to navigate the system. exam preparation and administration.
In this system, it was possible to find documents in which, in his opinion, the correct answers to the Lithuanian language and literature and mathematics tests were marked, possibly intended to verify the PUPP results.
However, the NSAA denied this information, saying that the publicly available tithing test data had nothing to do with future testing, but was intended solely for teacher training.
“This was for the training of PUPP evaluators: they are sample tasks and answers that will help them prepare for the evaluation. For a while, the data was open because other speakers had yet to join. But it really has nothing to do with it. with future tests, “he said.
According to the NSA representative, since the PUPP for coronavirus is being done remotely for the first time, its evaluation is also done through an electronic system, which is said to require more work.
Tithes were divided into three lines for the mandatory achievement checks. The task of verifying the achievements of the Lithuanian language and literature (in writing) was carried out on April 20. 9 am, Stream II – April 21 9 am, Stream III – April 21. 12 pm 30 minutes.
The Stream I math achievement check began on April 22. 9 am, Stream II – April 23 9 am and Stream III on April 23. 11 a. M. 30 minutes.
