SURVEY OF RESULTS ACHIEVED ON GEOGRAPHY QUESTIONS ON FINAL EXAM FOR ELEMENTARY SCHOOL STUDENTS – SAMPLE ANALYSIS

Summary/Abstract: Evaluative function of the final exam provides insight into the educational achievements of students and assessment of the degree of achievement of general and specific standards of achievement. When analyzing the results of students per school year (2013/2014, 2014/2015, 2015/2016 and 2016/2017) it is clear that in last two year, pupils approach to combined test, and geography questions has got more serious. The clear positive trend on total achieved percentage is noticed (y=4.9x+39.5). Same trend is noticed when results of each individual questions are analyzed. Even though our results show that boys achieved better results than girls, which is in contrast with state average, independent sample T-test results has shown that there is no statistically significant difference between results acquired by boys and girls. Although the final exam and the success of the elementary school are characterized by certain shortcomings, it is a good thing that they jointly contribute to the enrollment of students in high school because they compensate for their mutual shortcomings. However, it is important to make efforts to improve the quality of the assessment and the final exam, so that the education system is more equitable than it is currently.
