After the survey is completed, the results are calculated based on the number of points achieved on individual questions. The quantitative results of this task are divided into five groups:

Group 1 - plus 24 or more

Group 2 - plus 14 to 23

Group 3 - from 0 to 13

Group 4 - from minus 1 to minus 10

Group 5 - less than minus 11

According to the classification, the first three groups are considered positive. Children who score from plus 24 to plus 13 are considered ready for school.

Overall assessment of test results

Children who receive three to six points in the first three subtests are considered ready for school.

The group of children who received seven to nine points represents the average level of development of readiness for school learning.

Children who received 9-1 1 points require additional research to obtain more objective data.

Particular attention should be paid to a group of children (usually individual children) who scored 12-15 points, which constitutes development below the norm. Such children need a thorough individual examination of intelligence, development of personal and motivational qualities.

Hello,
Dear adults!

As promised, I offer you Kern–Jerasik test, which I found on the Internet.

This test has a number of significant advantages for the initial examination of children: it does not require a long time to carry out; can be used for both individual and group examinations; has standards developed on a large sample; does not require special means or conditions.

Brief description of the test.

The indicative test of school maturity by J. Jerasik is a modification of the test by A. Kern. J. Jerasik introduced an additional fourth task, which consists of answering questions (each child is asked to answer 20 questions)

All three tasks of A. Kern’s method are aimed at determining the development of fine motor skills of the hand, coordination of movements and vision. All this is necessary for a child to learn to write at school. In addition, with the help of this test, you can generally determine the child’s intellectual development, the ability to imitate a model and the ability to concentrate and concentrate.
The technique consists of three tasks:

1. Drawing written letters.
2. Drawing a group of points.
3. Drawing a male figure.

The child is given a sheet of unlined paper. The pencil is placed so that it is equally comfortable for the child to take it with both the right and left hand.

A. Copying a phrase"She was given tea"

A child who does not yet know how to write is asked to copy the phrase “She has been given tea,” written in written(!) letters. If your child already knows how to write, then you should invite him to copy a sample of foreign words.

Instructions. “Look, there’s something written here. You can't write yet, so try to draw it. Take a good look at how it is written, and at the top of the sheet (show where) write the same.”

7-6 points - the letters are divided into at least two groups. You can read at least 4 letters.

5-4 points - at least 2 letters are similar to the samples. The whole group looks like a letter.
3-2 points - doodles.

B. Drawing a group of points

The child is given a form with a picture of a group of dots. The distance between the points vertically and horizontally is 1 cm, the diameter of the points is 2 mm.

Instructions. “There are dots drawn here. Try to draw the same ones here yourself” (show where).

10-9 points - exact reproduction of the sample. Dots are drawn, not circles. Any minor deviations of one or more points from a row or column are allowed. There can be any reduction in the figure, but an increase is possible no more than twice.

8-7 points - the number and location of points corresponds to the given pattern. Deviation of no more than three points from a given position can be ignored. It is acceptable to depict circles instead of dots.

6-5 points - the drawing as a whole corresponds to the sample, no more than twice its size in length and width. The number of points does not necessarily correspond to the sample (however, there should not be more than 20 and less than 7). Deviation from the specified position is not taken into account.

4-3 points - the outline of the drawing does not correspond to the sample, although it consists of individual dots. The dimensions of the sample and the number of points are not taken into account at all.

1-2 points - doodles.

B. Drawing of a man

Instructions: “Here (indicate where) draw some man (uncle).” No explanations or instructions are given. It is also prohibited to explain, help, or make comments about errors. Any child’s question must be answered: “Draw as best you can.” You are allowed to cheer up the child. To the question: “Is it possible to draw an aunt?” — it is necessary to explain that you need to draw your uncle. If the child begins to draw a female figure, you can allow him to finish drawing it, and then ask him to draw a man next to him.

When assessing a person’s drawing, the following is taken into account:

- presence of main parts: head, eyes, mouth, nose, arms, legs;

— the presence of minor details: fingers, neck, hair, shoes;

- a way of depicting arms and legs: with one or two lines, so that the shape of the limbs is visible.

10-9 points - there is a head, torso, limbs, neck. The head is no larger than the body. On the head there is hair (hat), ears, on the face there are eyes, nose, mouth. Hands with five fingers. There is a sign of men's clothing. The drawing is made in a continuous line (“synthetic”, when the arms and legs seem to “flow” from the body.

8-7 points - compared to those described above, the neck, hair, one finger of the hand may be missing, but no part of the face should be missing. The drawing was not made in a “synthetic way”. The head and torso are drawn separately. Arms and legs are “stuck” to them.

6-5 points - there is a head, torso, limbs. Arms and legs should be drawn with two lines. There is no neck, hair, clothes, fingers, or feet.

4-3 points - a primitive drawing of a head with limbs, depicted on one line. According to the principle “stick, stick, cucumber - here comes the little man.”

1-2 points - lack of a clear image of the torso, limbs, head and legs. Scribble.

QUESTIONNAIRE
J.Jerasika

Reveals the general level of thinking, horizons, and development of social qualities.

It is conducted in the form of a question-answer conversation.

Exercise may sound like this: “Now I will ask questions, and you try to answer them.” If it is difficult for a child to answer a question right away, you can help him with several leading questions. The answers are recorded in points and then summed up.

1. Which animal is bigger - a horse or a dog?

(horse = 0 points; incorrect answer = -5 points)

2. In the morning we have breakfast, and in the afternoon...
(we have lunch, eat soup, meat = 0; have dinner, sleep and other incorrect answers = -3 points)

3. It’s light during the day, but at night...
(dark = 0; wrong answer = -4)

4. The sky is blue and the grass...
(green = 0; incorrect answer = -4)

5. Cherries, pears, plums, apples - what are they?

(fruit = 1; wrong answer = -1)

6. Why does the barrier go down before the train passes?
(so that the train does not collide with the car; so that no one gets hurt, etc. = 0; incorrect answer = -1)

7. What are Moscow, Odessa, St. Petersburg? (name any cities)
(cities = 1; stations = 0; incorrect answer = -1)

8. What time is it? (show on a watch, real or toy)
(correctly shown = 4; only a whole hour or quarter of an hour is shown = 3; does not know the hour = 0)

9. A small cow is a calf, a small dog is..., a small sheep is...?
(puppy, lamb = 4; only one correct answer = 0; incorrect answer = -1)

10. Is a dog more like a chicken or a cat? How? What do they have in common?
(for a cat, because they have 4 legs, fur, tail, claws (one similarity is enough) = 0; for a cat without explanation = -1; for a chicken = -3)

11. Why do all cars have brakes?
(two reasons are indicated: to slow down from the mountain, stop, avoid a collision, and so on = 1; one reason = 0; incorrect answer = -1)

12. How are a hammer and an ax similar to each other?
(two common features: they are made of wood and iron, they are tools, they can be used to hammer nails, they have handles, etc. = 3; one similarity = 2; incorrect answer = 0)

13. How are a cat and a squirrel similar to each other?
(determining that these are animals or giving two general characteristics: they have 4 legs, tails, fur, they can climb trees, etc. = 3;
one similarity = 2; wrong answer = 0)

14. What is the difference between a nail and a screw? How would you recognize them if they were lying on the table in front of you?
(the screw has a thread (thread, such a twisted line around) = 3; the screw is screwed in, and the nail is driven in or the screw has a nut = 2; incorrect answer = 0)

15. Football, high jump, tennis, swimming are...
(sports (physical education) = 3; games (exercises, gymnastics, competitions) = 2; incorrect answer = 0)

16. What vehicles do you know?
(three land vehicles + plane or ship = 4; only three land vehicles or a complete list with an airplane, ship, but only after explaining that vehicles are something you can move on = 2; incorrect answer = 0)

17. What is the difference between an old man and a young man? What's the difference between them?

(three signs (gray hair, lack of hair, wrinkles, poor vision, often sick, etc.) = 4; one or two differences = 2; incorrect answer (he has a stick, he smokes...) = 0

18. Why do people play sports?
(for two reasons (to be healthy, hardened, not to be fat, etc.) = 4; one reason = 2; incorrect answer (to be able to do something, to earn money, etc.) = 0)

19. Why is it bad when someone deviates from work?
(others must work for him (or another expression that someone suffers a loss as a result of this) = 4; he is lazy, earns little, cannot buy anything = 2; wrong answer = 0)

20. Why do you need to put a stamp on a letter?
(so they pay for forwarding this letter = 5; the other one who receives it would have to pay a fine = 2; incorrect answer = 0)

Let's sum up the points.
Amount + 24 and above– high verbal intelligence (outlook).
Amount from + 14 to 23- above average.
Sum from 0 to + 13– average indicator of verbal intelligence.
From -1 to – 10- below the average.
From – 11 and less– low indicator.

If the verbal intelligence score is low or below average, additional examination of the child’s neuropsychic development is necessary.

Good luck to you!

The Kern-Jirásek test was first published in Russian back in 1978 (Jirásek J. “Diagnostics of school maturity.” Prague, 1978), however, it entered school practice only in the late eighties, when it began to be reprinted (often with distortions and abbreviations ) in many works devoted to the problem of children's readiness for school. The apparent simplicity and speed of implementation, the presence of a detailed description of the child’s actions, assessed by one point or another, made this test attractive not only for psychologists, but also for teachers, including kindergarten teachers; Based on this test, categorical conclusions began to be drawn about the child’s readiness/unpreparedness for schooling. Meanwhile, J. Jirasek himself emphasized that if good results on this test quite reliably predict high educational success, then a bad result does not have such predictive ability.

According to the observations of J. Jirasek, among the children who showed results below the average level upon entering school, by the end of the second grade, half were doing well in the main subjects - mathematics and their native language (although at the beginning of school there were some difficulties in adaptation due to insufficient development ability to control finger movements). Thus, with a bad test result, poor performance was observed in 50% of cases (that is, the probability of an accurate forecast is at the level of chance, as when tossing a coin: heads or tails) - this is not a sufficient basis for a definite conclusion about “unpreparedness”.

This does not mean that low results on the Kern-Jirasek test do not provide psychodiagnostic information at all. They are a reason for increased attention to the child, increased emotional and pedagogical support at the very beginning of education, and in some cases (with particularly low results) - an in-depth psychological examination.

Diagnosis of readiness for schooling.

"Indicative test of school maturity"

Exercise.
The child is offered a special test form: a sheet of unlined paper approximately the size of an unfolded notebook sheet, one side of which is blank (for completing task No. 1), and the other is divided horizontally into two equal parts (for completing tasks No. 2 and 3); in the upper half on the left is a sample of written letters, and on the right is space left for the child to reproduce it. Similarly, in the lower half on the left is a sample of points for playback, and on the right is free space. The test begins with drawing a person.

Task No. 1. “Draw a person here. The way you can.” (5 samples for assessing test performance are shown in Fig. 1

Task No. 2. “Look, there’s something written here. You haven’t learned to write yet, but try, maybe you can too. Take a good look at how it’s written, and here, next to (to the right) in this empty space, write like that too.” (5 samples for evaluation are shown in Fig. 2)

Task No. 3. “Look - there are dots here. Draw the same ones next to each other.” (5 samples for evaluation are shown in Fig. 3)

Test performance evaluation(points from 1 to 5)

Task No. 1. Drawing of a male figure (Fig. 1).

1. The drawn figure must have a head, torso and limbs. The head and body are connected through the neck, and it is no larger than the body. There is hair on the head (or it is covered by a cap or hat) and ears, and on the face there are eyes, a nose and a mouth. The hands are finished with a hand with five fingers. The legs are bent at the bottom. Bringing men's clothing. The figure is drawn using the so-called synthetic method.

2. Fulfillment of all requirements, as in paragraph 1, except for the synthetic image method. Three missing parts (neck, hair, one finger, but not part of the face) can be excluded from the requirements if this is balanced by a synthetic image method.

3. The drawing must have a head, torso and limbs. Arms or legs are drawn with a double line. We accept non-adduction of the neck, ears, hair, clothing, fingers and feet.

4. Primitive drawing with a torso. The limbs (one pair is enough) are expressed only by simple lines.

5. Lacks a clear image of the torso ("cephalopod" image or "overcoming the cephalopod image") or both limbs.

Task No. 2. Imitation of written letters (Fig. 2).

1. A completely satisfactory (in the sense of reading) imitation of a written model. The letters do not reach double the size of the sample. The initial letter has a clearly visible capital letter height. The letters are well connected into three words. It is impossible for there to be no dot above the letter (or above the i). The rewritten sentence does not deviate from the horizontal line by more than 30°.

2.More legible imitation of a written sentence. The size of the letters and compliance with horizontality are not taken into account.

3. Obviously, the division is minimal into two parts. At least four letters of the pattern can be made out.

4. At least two letters are similar to the sample. The whole still forms a line of “scripture.”

5.Scratching.

Task No. 3. Drawing a group of points (Fig. 3).

1. Almost perfect imitation of the model. We allow only a very small deviation of one point from a row or column. Reducing the figure is acceptable; increasing it should not be more than half. The drawing must be parallel to the sample.

2.The number and location of points must correspond to the sample. You can allow even three points to deviate by half the width of the gap between rows or columns.

3. The whole is similar in outline to the sample. It is no more than twice as tall and wide as it is. The dots do not have to be in the correct number, but there should be no more than twenty or less than seven. Any rotation is allowed - even 180°.

4. The outline of the drawing no longer resembles the sample, but it still consists of dots. The size of the picture and the number of dots do not matter. Other shapes (lines) are not acceptable

5.Scratching.

The overall test result is the sum of points for individual tasks.
