ENGLISH TEST ANALYSIS

Objectives of the test are the following ones:

– use correctly in statements the verbs;

– recognize the types of conditional sentences;

– differentiate the types of conditional sentences;

– identify the verbs in the text;

– to differentiate between personal and non-personal modes;

The analysis of this English grammar test allows a detailed description of the problems and difficulties faced by the pupils in this class but also the brief outline of their strengths and weaknesses.

STRENGTHS:

After applying the test, I found that students know the verb definition, they know the verb has four conjugations, they know how to correctly apply the verbs, identify the verbs in the text and also distinguish the conditional sentences. They also know how to differentiate the types of conditional sentence.

WEAKNESSES:

After applying the test it was found that some students of can not spell correctly. Another common mistake is the fact that some students do not differentiate between the auxiliary and the predictive verbs. And identifying conjugations has created some difficulties. Some of them also does not analyze the verb correctly.

OPPORTUNITIES:

Successful promotion of internal and external assessments during the current school year;

Successful completion of the school year and the gymnasium cycle;

The possibility to continue studying at a high school depending on the student's intellectual profile and the results of the gymnasium cycle;

The possibility of active, responsible and competent integration in the society and the labor market, and even the achievement of a successful career;

THREATS:

Corigence and / or repetition;

Disinterest and / or school abandon;

Reduction and / or absence of further educational perspectives;

The impossibility to attend a high school after the gymnasium cycle;

The impossibility of active, responsible and competent integration in society and the labor market, social and professional marginalization

OPTIMIZATION RECOMMENDATIONS:

Difficulties encountered in resolving the test require some remedial measures:

solving several exercises with the correct writing of the orthograms;

performing several morpho-syntactic analysis exercises;

making several sentences with verbs: predictive, copulative and auxiliary;

constant checking of the themes;

In this context, it can be said that the present study was a real challenge for me, in terms of an opportunity to study both the literature and the psycho-pedagogical type, to enrich and deepen my knowledge regarding interactive methods and phenomena characterized by complexity, but topical and vital for the future. In the case of the two samples studied in this research it was found that in the first experimental phase, the differences between the average are statistically relative, the balance inclining towards the control sample, but as the experimental intervention is unfolding, one may observe remarkable differences between environments, on this occasion favouring the experimental group. This is due to the fact that the dynamics of the school performance, which the experimental group follows, contributes to the decrease of the difference between the media to the inflection point, after which the difference between the averages in favour of the experimental sample follows an ascending trend.
