Mathematics exam succes rate at the College of Polytechnics Jihlava (2006-2015)

Original language description

This paper addresses the exam success rates in Mathematics 1 at the College of Polytechnics in Jihlava (CPJ). Primary data taken from the school information system cover the years 2006–2015. We carried out a detailed success rate analysis based on several criteria (study programme, form of study, the reason for termination of studies, gender) and we observed the dependence of the success rate on the aforementioned criteria and time. The contingency tables analysis and correspondence analysis were used to assess the dependencies. The analysis showed that the success rate in Mathematics 1 has been decreasing over the course of the monitored period of time. The success rate of full-time students is higher compared to the part-time students. Women have higher success rate than men. Technical study programmes show lower success rate in mathematics. The research shows that mathematics may not always be the cause of a complete termination of studies. To reverse the trend of the growing failure rate we introduced an entrance test of high school basic mathematics followed by a course for those who fail at this test. Plus there are plans for the innovation of e-learning modules, creation of textbooks for this course, and the introduction of 5-day intensive summer and winter schools in mathematics.
