Why did the mathematicians fail the tests?
The news went on: "Russian teachers of mathematics failed testing in mathematics." Already on this site try to justify this with different rules of sliding terms.
Everything is easier.

I am a computer science teacher and I passed these tests. I passed three tests: as a teacher of computer science, as a teacher of mathematics and as a head of a secondary professional education institution. The second and third had nothing to do with me, well, what I would not see is what the boss is kidding.
I passed all three tests. This is so that in the comments do not start stating that I am bad and do not understand anything, this is the currency for others.

I started with my subject, of course. What can I say, I gave it hard. And you know why?
Here, imagine: there is a mathematical record using different numbering systems. Has anyone missed this topic safely in school? So I will explain: there in expression will be small numbers standing below. And if you are not very lucky, then up (the degree is called).
Do you know what the test looked like? The numbers are in place. But not on its own. All the numbers are constructed in a row, as if it were an arithmetic example for primary school. And before solving a task, you have to guess what task was meant.
And so all the tasks in which something differs from a simple text question. The Table? Write texts from the table. The painting? Well, let’s assume that he is somewhere, but not showing his teachers, they must guess the answer themselves.
So there is nothing surprising in the fact that the teachers of philology and social sciences do best. The text is the easiest to do.

And that is not all. We, teachers of computer science, were lucky: we had questions about computer science. A few things. Less than half, much less, but there were.

And when I passed the exam for teachers of mathematics, I wrote questions.
The mathematician had to answer.
and 25 questions.
All with a choice of answer. The chances were, they were.
16 questions - on bureaucratic norms and on scientific terminology, which 90% of teachers throw out of their heads as soon as they pass the GOS when graduating from universities. Teachers of mathematics should know the permissible frequency of scheduled examinations and the difference between the definition of the term "competence" and the definition of the term "competence". By the way, no, you thought wrong now. This is not the meaning of the word “competence” used by normal people. We have a different importance to know.
And here, for a minute, this mouth is almost two-thirds of the test.
The first is about the psychology of adolescence. That is OK.
1 according to sanitary regulations. Do you think something important? Yes, it was necessary to answer what should be the width of the passage between the sides, 60 centimeters or 70. How do you think, why do you know this to the teacher of mathematics, if in the real cabinet the width of the passage between the parties will be determined not by the papers, but by the width of the cabinet and the width of the parts?
Question 4: Test of computer literacy. Undoubtedly it must. would have to. If the questions were to understand the practical application, not the knowledge of terminology.
Three questions about teaching mathematics. Two of them have formatting problems. The essence of one of them I was never able to guess, although judging by the answers, this question was on the mathematics level of primary school.
Let’s count, when it comes to mathematics. 16+1+1+4+3, right, twenty five.
How many questions about mathematics? 25-25, you’ll be surprised, but it’s zero.

Russian Mathematics Teachers Failed in Mathematics Testing
Who is the shame?
Not for math teachers. No, this test was passed on the right ball quite real. Especially if you are not ashamed to google in the process. But “voluntary testing” in many schools turned into “I said everything in school should be done so that management was enough,” so it’s not surprising that many went through “to get rid of” this mess.
Not the test developers. Expert Council on Informatization of the Education and Education System under the Interim Commission for the Development of the Information Society of the Federation Council. The Federation Council is such a thing that no committee with it has been ashamed to declare meaning for a long time.
And shame on the journalists who joyfully rushed to circulate the news, talking only with one side. Not the one that should be.

Although,, they are just performing another order to wash the eyes. Nevertheless, very successful this "loud news" bordered the news that the Minister of Education wants to prohibit graduates from trying to enter several universities at once.
