School performance feedback systems (SPFS) are an important step in a loop that makes external
examinations meaningful – they provide information to the students, teachers, schools,
educational experts and the interested public. The author will present current developments
on the different SPFS in primary and secondary schools in Slovenia and steps towards the value
added system. Since 1995 knowledge at the end of upper secondary schools in general educational
track is externally assessed with (general) Matura that serves as certificate of secondary
education and as prerequisite for admission to the university. In 2002 similar vocational type of
Matura was introduced to other upper secondary schools. In primary/lower secondary schools
there are examinations at the age of 11 and 14. Since all examinations cover whole generations
and all data is organized centrally, there are great challenges and responsibility to provide detailed
and sophisticated feedback.
After introduction author will demonstrate two main SPFS‘s developed. First is Assessment of/
for learning Analytic Tool (ALAT), a software that is used by secondary schools to create indepth
analysis of their own data and compare that with national data. Second SPFS is a pack
of prepared analysis, given to our primary/lower secondary schools after examinations to help
them create content relevant descriptions of the results of the examinations. In last years effort
is being made to merge this data into a value added system in a way to help schools and teachers
to use the data optimally.
