The written part of the exam in social science always causes difficulties for graduates. It requires not only a confident knowledge of theoretical material, but also the application of one's own knowledge, a broad outlook and an understanding of social interactions. I propose to analyze the real tasks of part 2, met at the USE in 2016.

Part 2 of the exam in social studies

Let us immediately highlight several blocks of “difficulties” associated with their solution at the USE:

1. Lack of time (a significant amount of the written part, the need to write it out in a draft, and then carefully transfer the notes to a clean copy - answer forms 2);
2. Insufficient knowledge of the theory of basic social sciences
3. Inability to apply this knowledge in practice, giving examples from social practice and from one's own life;
4. Insufficient understanding of how to correctly, and in a “favorable” light for oneself, formulate an answer that a subjective person will check -

We also note that it is these tasks that will bring you about half of all possible points that you can score on the exam on the exam - 27 out of 62, according to the evaluation criteria in

Real tasks and answers of part 2 of the exam in social science 2016

I propose to see how the work of part 2 was performed by one of the graduates at the USE in 2016, and then analyze it. First, let's look at the completed answer sheets 2:

And now let's look at the texts of the tasks and the score received by the graduate for completing the tasks of part 2:

Text (tasks 21-24)

Guarantees of law and order

In a state governed by the rule of law, there is a whole system of guarantees of law and order. Under the guarantees of law and order are understood such conditions of public life and special measures. adopted by the state, which provide a strong regime of legality and stability of the rule of law in society. There are material, political, legal and moral guarantees of law and order.

Material guarantees include such an economic structure of society, within which equivalent relations are established between producers and consumers of material goods. With equivalent market commodity relations, a real material basis is created for the normal functioning of civil society. Under these conditions, any subject of law becomes economically free and independent. Supported and protected by law, it fully realizes its potential in the sphere of material production, which is the most important guarantee of law and order in society. A financially secure and socially protected individual, as a rule, conforms his behavior to the law, since his interests are guaranteed by the rule of law and are objectively embodied in the rule of law.

Political guarantees of law and order are all elements of the political system of society that support and reproduce social life on the basis of legal laws that reflect the objective laws of social development. The state, its bodies, various public associations and private organizations, labor collectives, that is, all links of the modern political system of society, in the interests of their livelihood, support the necessary regime of law and order in every possible way. Those political organizations or individual politicians who oppose themselves to the order established by law are deprived of the protection of the state.

Legal guarantees include the activities of state bodies and institutions, specifically aimed at preventing and suppressing violations of law and order. It is carried out by legislative, executive and judicial bodies of state power. The main directions of the fight against offenses are formed by the legislature, issuing relevant regulatory legal acts that provide for legal liability for illegal actions. Direct work on the prevention and suppression of offenses is carried out by law enforcement state bodies. In the presence of sufficiently strong economic and political guarantees, the law enforcement activity of the state effectively ensures the optimal regime of legality and the stability of the rule of law.

Moral guarantees of law and order are a favorable moral and psychological environment in which the legal rights and obligations of participants in legal relations are realized; the level of their spirituality and culture; sensitivity and attention of state bodies and officials to the person, his interests and needs. All parts of the political system of society, including charitable organizations, institutions of culture and art, schools, higher educational institutions, and the church are involved in creating a healthy moral environment in the field of legal regulation. A morally healthy society is a society functioning on the basis of laws, in a stable legal order.

Law and order in society are provided by the entire system of guarantees that organically interact with each other, mutually condition and complement each other.

Analysis of the performance of tasks of part 2

We will not comment and dwell in detail on those tasks where the maximum possible points were set. In the form of a joint analysis of the graduate and the USE expert Kotsar Evgeny Sergeevich, we analyze those moments for which the graduate could not get the maximum score:

23. 1 point out of 3

What kind branch known to you from the course of social studies? Name them and bring examples their activities to ensure law and order.

Alumni comments:

• the condition did not say that the examples should be specific.
  In addition, the Methodological Recommendations for Social Science Experts on page 18 says:

« Examples there may be facts of the past and present, gleaned from the personal social experience of graduates or gained public fame; real events, examples from art and simulated situations. Answers varying degrees of specification are allowed , and in this regard, some examinees can follow the path of ever greater clarification of the original position itself, highlighting its sides, aspects, forms of manifestation, etc.; others may prefer individual facts that embody the features (characteristics) of the general.

• I suspect that they gave only one point out of three for the fact that only the 3rd example seemed concrete to them, and the first two were considered to be what the criteria from the Demo version called "General reasoning is given."

Let's say the second example really looks like "general reasoning". But why is the 1st example bad? In fact, it says about the development of a bill regulating the sphere of economic relations, and indicates the essence of this bill

• Perhaps they would like to see in each example a link to some state. organ, i.e. so that in each example the subject of this activity is indicated. For example, in the 3rd I have said about the court, but in the first two there is no such subject. But as far as I remember, nothing was said about the authorities in the condition - it was necessary to write about branches authorities. If, after all, it was not about branches, but about something more specific, then, probably, they shot it fairly

And yet, I think you can try to appeal 1 point for the first example.

Expert comment:

The second argument will definitely not be counted, “implementation of measures… (?what???)”

I agree that most likely they took into account the 3rd example (more specifics), but also that it is possible to fight for the 1st (the wording of the task did not provide for concretization, the functions of the legislature were not distorted). You are absolutely correct in citing an excerpt from the Methodological Recommendations.

1. 1 point out of 3

Using social science knowledge, give three explanations for the fact that the regime of law and stable rule of law contributes to the normal functioning of society.

Alumni comment:

In this case, I don’t understand at all why only one point out of three. If you look at the answer to task 24, then there seems to be no specifics required. Unless, perhaps, I have written more detailed and more difficult to understand from the first reading. In addition, various terms from the course are quite actively used.

A score of 1 implies that the experts accepted only one of the three explanations. But in my opinion, here all three explanations are essentially the same in nature. That is, if we assume that there is some flaw in one of the explanations, then the same flaw must be in the others. In this case, it was necessary to put either 0 or all 3 points here. But I don't see any problems in explanation here, so I'm more inclined to 3 points.

The USE in social studies is the most popular elective exam after the mandatory USE in mathematics and the Russian language. According to the data of previous years, more than half of the graduates chose social studies, and in 2013 69.3% passed it! At the same time, it is one of the most difficult exams. This year, 5.3% of graduates did not pass the Unified State Exam in social studies, and this is about 25 thousand people! What is the reason for this failure?

The Five Pitfalls of Social Science

There is a common misconception among alumni that social studies is one of the easiest subjects. Many of them are sure that it is really possible to “blame something” on him. This is the first trap of social science. Students rely on their experience of oral answers in the classroom, where you can really say a lot, and the teacher himself will isolate the correct answer from what was said. On the Unified State Examination, where even the detailed answers of Part C consist of only a few sentences, it is impossible to "blank", but you need to give clear answers.

And here we have the second trap of social science: knowledge of terminology and the ability to operate with it. If terminology can be learned, then the ability to operate with it requires the skills of logical thinking: the ability to compare and analyze. And this means that the Unified State Examination in social science, to a greater extent than any other exam, involves not simply reproducing the memorized material, but its "preparation", which is much more difficult.

The Unified State Examination in Social Studies is a real integral exam: it includes five topics related to different sciences Key words: economics, law, philosophy, sociology and political science. Each science has its own conceptual apparatus: terminology, approaches to evaluation and analysis. This is the third trap - the student needs to master all the terminology and logic of each of the five sciences. The complexity of the Unified State Examination in social science lies in the fact that, unlike, for example, mathematics, where geometric problems occupy a clear place in the structure of the exam, the question for comparison can be both in the topic of economics and sociology. Consequently, the student must, first of all, determine what discipline he is dealing with, and then "turn on" the necessary conceptual apparatus.

The Unified State Exam in social studies is taken for many specialties - for economics, law, public administration, architecture, customs, logistics and other specialties of the humanitarian and socio-economic profile.

When preparing for the exam in social studies, it is difficult to avoid the fourth trap: numerous textbooks and manuals. Some of them, unfortunately, are not always conscientious and can do a disservice. It is best to take two basic textbooks as a basis - Kravchenko and Bogolyubov, which are used in most schools. However, it must be borne in mind that schools can use textbooks from different years, and FIPI relies on the latest editions in its USE developments.

The fifth trap of the exam - not enough hours assigned to this subject at school. This is due, first of all, to the paradoxes of the development of Russian education. As the Unified State Examination in social science improves, it becomes more difficult, and at school at this time there is a departure from the profile study of this subject. And this is despite the fact that it is in demand in more than 30% of liberal arts universities. Today, social studies in the school curriculum exists only as a basic subject, which is given only one hour a week.

So how do you avoid the pitfalls and turn them into positives in preparation?

Here are five specific tips that Maxim Sigal, the head of the teaching department at the MAXIMUM training center for preparing for the Unified State Examination, gives to eleventh graders:

"Do not underestimate this exam. Many students treat social studies as something very simple, where you can hardly prepare, but simply give answers according to logic - this is definitely wrong!"

First trap: When choosing this subject, evaluate your knowledge objectively. Treat social science as an exact science.

Second trap: learn terminology and practice thinking logically. All types of tasks are described in the FIPI materials. Search for answers to questions, find out what exactly is required in a given answer, and how each answer is scored. In detailed tasks, specify how much you need to write to answer each question.

Third trap: learn to distinguish the terminology of each of the five disciplines included in the exam in social studies. When answering, the first thing to do is determine the discipline to be dealt with.

Fourth trap: be careful when choosing textbooks for preparing for the exam in social studies: a number of them use unused terminology and concepts. Consider the changes that have been made to the USE-2014 compared to 2013, namely:

1. Task B5 is more difficult. The total number of judgments given in the assignment condition increases from 4 to 5. It is necessary to distribute them into three, instead of the previous two, groups of judgments: facts, estimates, theoretical statements. Here it is very easy to get confused in estimates and theoretical statements. It should be remembered that theory is memorized knowledge, and evaluation is one's own opinion.
2. The topics proposed for writing an essay are grouped into five blocks instead of the previous six. Topics covered in terms of the provisions of sociology and social psychology are now included in one general direction. This makes it easier to write a task on a given topic, since the line between the terminology of these two disciplines is not always distinguishable.
3. For an essay, you can get a maximum of 5 points. It is important to remember here that if the meaning of the statement is not disclosed, then the work is simply not checked. Additional points are given for providing a theoretical justification, and the highest points are given for factual argumentation.

Fifth trap: the insufficient number of hours can only be compensated for by one thing - additional preparation for the Unified State Examination in social studies at the right and timely chosen courses.

Many parents will be horrified by reading this material. It is so difficult and takes time and diligence to prepare! But is it worth it to be afraid, because we all want to teach our children the ability to reason independently and think logically. Accusations are often made against the Unified State Examination: this format of the exam, they say, “stupefies” children, forces teachers to engage in “training” for the exam instead of transferring knowledge. We don't like it, do we? So we should be glad that the opposite is true with the Unified State Exam in social studies - in the process of preparing for it, children learn to think and use the knowledge they have received. Isn't that what most parents want?

Discussion

If the state textbooks of Bogolyubov and Kravchenko are bad, then the tests compiled on the basis of these textbooks will also always be bad. This is the main problem when passing the exam in social studies. The only way out is to change basic textbooks, change social science standards and change tests. I advise you to use my textbook for reading - Valery Starikov "Interesting Social Science", which is published on the Russian and English Wikipedia:
