Comparison of physics matura exercises in matura examination and international Baccalaureate in Slovenia and in matura examination in Croatia

Matura v Sloveniji je stara 21 let. Uvedena je bila z namenom preverjanja usposobljenosti dijakov za vstop na fakultete. Eden od izbirnih maturitetnih predmetov je tudi fizika. V diplomskem delu želimo primerjati nivo in koncept slovenske mature iz fizike s programom mednarodne mature, ki ga izvajajo na treh slovenskih gimnazijah, in splošno maturo na Hrvaškem. V ta namen podrobno analiziramo in primerjamo učne načrte iz fizike in predmetne izpitne kataloge v programu splošne mature in programu mednarodne mature v Sloveniji ter splošne mature na Hrvaškem. V posameznih maturitetnih programih iščemo podobnosti in razlike. Zanima nas tudi vključenost dijakov v splošno maturo iz fizike v Sloveniji, dosežena povprečna ocena in delež neuspešnih. Glavni del diplomskega dela je primerjava in analiza maturitetnih nalog po Gagnejevi klasifikaciji znanj. Predlagamo spremembe v smislu izboljšave mature v Sloveniji.Matura examination in Slovenia exists 21 years already. It was introduced to test the qualifications of high school students before entering faculties. One of the optional matura subjects is also physics. In the diploma thesis we want to compare the level and the concept of Slovene matura examination in physics with the international baccalaureate, which is performed in three Slovene secondary schools and with the matura examination in Croatia. Thus we thoroughly analyse and compare the physics course syllabi and the catalogues of knowledge standards in the matura examination and international baccalaureate in Slovenia and in matura examination in Croatia. We search for similarities and differences in individual matura programmes. We examine also the participation of students in the physics matura examination in Slovenia, the average mark and the number of unsuccessful students. The main parts of the diploma thesis are the comparison and the analysis of matura exercises according to Gagne taxonomy. We propose some changes within the meaning of improvement of the matura examination in Slovenia
