The development between a test in spring in the 9th grade (2003) and a follow-up test with the same students in the following spring in the 10th grade (2004) in the subjects of mathematics and natural sciences was evaluated. It was found that in mathematics only 60% of the students learned something new within one year, in natural science subjects even only 44%, while almost one in five had forgotten scientific knowledge. This result, rated as rather poor, was attributed to a lack of didactic skills.
In addition, this again confirmed an educational disadvantage for students with low social origins . The importance of home support was emphasized. The influence on whether there was the possibility of using a computer at home could not be proven.
Criticism of the study
Secondary schools were not included in the study. This was criticized, among other things, by the GEW , since the secondary schools in many federal states have 10th grade and so the exclusion cannot be justified.
Reactions
Both the GEW and the German Association of Philologists spoke out in favor of employing more teachers.
