Development of the Success Rate in Mathematics 1 at The College of Polytechnics Jihlava (Czech Republic) in 2006–2015

Popis výsledku v původním jazyce

This paper addresses the development of the exam success rates in Mathematics 1 at the College of Polytechnics in Jihlava – CPJ (Czech Republic). The analysis used data from the school information system. We have observed the trends in development of the success rates with regard to individual CPJ study programmes in 2006-2015. Obtained material consists predominantly of categorical data, that is why the contingency tables analysis and correspondence analysis were used to assess the dependencies. The research showed that in these years the success rate in Mathematics 1 has been decreasing in all of the monitored study programmes. In general, technically oriented programmes (Applied Computer Science and Computer Systems) showed lower success rate in mathematics, while the success rate in the economic programmes (Finance and Management and Travel and Tourism) is higher. To reverse the trend of the growing failure rate we introduced the course called Seminar in Mathematics for students who failed the entrance test from high school maths. At the same time, we have been innovating the e-learning modules and working on the textbooks for Seminar in Mathematics that can be completed even within intensive summer and winter schools in mathematics.
