Abstract

The research in the field of education quality indicates that contextual data, e.g. family factors, its socio-economic status, the academic resources of the family, the teaching staff, etc. have an impact on school students’ academic achievements. The present article focuses on studying the dependence of the results of state examinations on contextual data of the districts of Voronezh Oblast. The purpose of this research is to analyse how contextual data affect the results of state examinations. When studying the impact of the contextual data of the districts of Voronezh Oblast on the results of state examinations under the educational programs of secondary general education and basic general education, the authors applied the methods of correlation and regression analyses respectively. The results reveal high coefficients of variation between the contextual data of the districts of Voronezh Oblast and most results of state exams, as well as high correlation between the state exam results of 2018 and 2016. The results of state examinations in school subjects most strongly correlate with two contextual factors behind the families of school students in grades 9 and 11: the proportion of school students brought up in families with neither of the parents having higher education (in one-parent families - the parent having no higher education) and the proportion of school students brought up in one-parent families, with the only parent being unemployed. The study reveals continuity between the results of state examinations of 2016 and 2018 in the Russian language, Mathematics (specialized level) and Mathematics, Physics, Chemistry, Geography and Social Studies. It has also identified strong, positive and statistically significant correlation of the corresponding variations in the Russian language, Mathematics (specialized level), Mathematics (basic level) and Mathematics, Physics, Chemistry, and Literature with the number of graduates having scored 100 points in the Unified State Examination in 2018 and the number of school students having scored maximum points in the Basis State Examination in 2016. This allows acknowledging the objectivity of conducting the Unified State Examination under educational programs in Voronezh Oblast.
