I have read the various views on the subject about MTAP. The controversy has been there since early years of MTAP. But just nobody has brought it open and formally until recently; or trying to suggest a solution to the controversy.
I have observed, every year after each MTAP contest, there are many comments on students of St. Jude Catholic School. When other schools did not make it to number 1, their comments usually is that St. Jude students are at least one year older or one grade higher than the grades they participated. There are many sour-grape comments to justify. Rightly or wrongly, St. Jude students become alibi's not making to number 1 for other schools, students, parents and teachers alike. While St. Jude people countered just plain jealousy. But in the process, the innocent St. Jude kids were ridiculed whether they like it or not.
Who is right? Let us review the over all picture or the scenario in the hope to search for the truth and provide a guide for our educators and public on how to improve our education system etc. In order for the future, we can minimize the alibi or sour-grape comments and give credit to where it is due.
Basically there are 2 types of math contest. One is the open ended contest like the MTG contests. The other one is the achievement based or level based math contest. The open ended is almost free for all with few limitations like the Ateneo Signayan and the MTG, Quezon City Science High Junior Math Encounter etc. The test questions may be any math questions under the sun. They are participated by chosen few. While the achievement based or grade level based math contest is like the MTAP. MTAP contest is supposedly based on the grade or school levels of each student and only test what were taught. The test questions are not wild and the scope is limited mostly to what were taught. MTAP is popularly participated by more students.
On the other hand, there are basically 3 school- grade- level systems here in our country. Typical schools are: St. Jude Catholic School, Xavier School and the Chiang Kai Shek College.
The years of formal school till elementary of the 3 typical schools are:
St. Jude : 3 years kinder, 6 years elementary or total 9 years.
Xavier : 2 years kinder, 7 years elementary or total 9 years.
Chiang : 2 years kinder. 6 years elementary or total 8 years.
With the above, we can clearly see the difference and see where is the real controversy or weakness of the MTAP grade- achievement system based contest.
Just to simplify the comparison, we can expect St. Jude grade 2 to out perform St. Jude grade 1 in most cases, though there are always some exception. The main reason is the grade 2 students studied one year more than grade 1 in same school. But we are talking of over all and not specific. We have to compare the students of the same school because they are supposedly almost the same industrious etc.
When St. Jude declares they are in grade 2, they are actually in grade 3 compared to other school grading system. In the case of Xavier, their grade 2 is the same as grade 2 in Chiang Kai Shek and others. That is why when Xavier and Chiang Kai Shek students won number 1 in the contests, almost all admire and applaud but not the case when St. Jude students did.
One might say what happened to the grade 7 of Xavier? Mtap let grade 7 of Xavier took the high school 1 test. That is what everybody calls fair. After grade 7, most kids are matured, the advantage in one grade level is not as apparent when most kids have more matured. So, let St. Jude grade 6 take the high school 1 in the same fair spirit.
It is in the same light, I am suggesting to MTAP to modify the grade – level system to the reality in order to seek the true level of our education system and erase an alibi for sour-grape comments. That will be fair to all including the hard working students and parents of St. Jude.
I therefore suggest any of the following for the modification of MTAP test systems.
1. Let St. Jude students take real year-in-school level test and not the present declared grade level test.Grade 2 of St. Jude to grade 3 of other schools etc.
2. Another way is to put at least one hard question more for St. Jude students on the standard test papers for the same grade level. Example: grade 3 of St. Jude needs to answer 6 hard questions while all other schools need only to answer 5 questions.
3. Yet another system is out right deduction say 5 points on the final score of the grade level.
Of course, my suggestion is not perfect, but at least people will see we try to be fair and put to an end to the controversy that has been with us on MTAP and move on. Mtap is fair on grade 7 system; should not be a problem to implement the same for lower grades which need more adjustment consider that the earlier age kids one grade difference means big different.
May be other educators can offer better suggestions? And hope MTAP will listen and provide a guide for other schools to improve their education standards. Hope next time when the bright students of St. Jude win, everybody will just admire and no more sour grape.
May I inquire why only the MTAP-NCR Private blogspot is being updated? When will the updates be done?
Sana naman i update nyo rin itong mtap public. Thanks.
To Sir William:
For your first suggestion, should we also include in the computation of years in school all those years of pre-school (sometimes even up to 3 years of pre-school). I know many cases where kids are already in school at 2 yrs old. Elementary students in the private schools always enjoy an edge because most students had at least 2 or 3 years of pre-school. It is now common (and sometimes a must) to see children capable of reading before kinder. If you are wondering about Math skills, ask those obsessive-compulsive parents who enrolled their kids in Kumon, Aloha, Sakamoto, Enopi and the like. Should MTAP also gather info about how many years the children studied in these special Math classes to level out the playing field?
For your second suggestion about adding a hard question, who will determine which questions are hard or hard enough. As I said, the questions are easy because MTAP is accommodative. I scratched my head in wonder when I heard a Grade 2 student answering correctly the questions of the Regional Finals of GRADE SIX. He nearly got a perfect score. You are only complaining about one year when the kid is FOUR YEARS YOUNGER in that situation. I assure you that the kid is not a genius. He is not even a medalist in school.
For your third suggestion of outright point deduction, we are not playing golf to employ handicaps. How can you impose outright deduction of even one point, when everybody is capable of getting perfect scores? The key is to make the contests more competitive. Our goal is not to be competitive just here but internationally as well. If your purpose is the glory of winning, then by all means you can win all the local competitions by imposing all possible conditions to limit the leading competitor, only to find yourself lacking when you compete in the global arena. By then, maybe you should also tell those from the First World countries to downgrade their educational standards so as to level the playing field again so that the Philippines can win too.
Ask your Grade 2 students to try and answer the questions of those in the higher levels. Chances are, they can and thru diligence may even win over the higher level students. Again, training is the key and not the number of years in school.
Maybe you can ask for a ruling from DepEd whether the Grade 5 student of Saint Jude should be considered as Grade Six and make him graduate a year earlier so that you can help save SJCS parents at least a year’s worth of tuition fee. You will certainly be applauded for that.
To Sir William:
Addendum
By the way, have you ever wondered how come the supposedly older (number of years in school) Saint Jude Perennial Math Winners suddenly loses starting at first year high school?
Did the students from other schools suddenly experience divine revelation so as to elevate their Math prowess immensely in the short span of one year? The answer is NO.
Everything boils down to training and dedication of the elementary Math teachers. Elementary SJCS Math contestants are simply better trained. The additional year in Prep has got nothing to do with winning. If you are willing, you can sit-in in all the 3 years of Prep at Saint Jude for free to see for yourself. You can also check that the SJCS students are never pulled out of their regular classes to train. They do not train during class hours. They are only excused but not exempted from class work or exams during competition. The SJCS students simply worked harder than others. To imply or connote that they are not deserving of whatever victories they have achieved because of a 3rd year in Prep is hilarious at best.
By the way, maybe you should also suggest that MTAP limit the number of Math subjects or Math hours per grade level? Chiang Kai Shek College has an additional Chinese Math Subject. Six years of elementary and four years of high school equal to an additional 10 years or total of 20 years of Math hours. Now, the additional ONE YEAR OF PREP seems puny to those TEN YEARS OF DOUBLE MATH SUBJECTS.
Better do your Math again.
