Being bilingual ‘boosts brain power’
Deireadh Fómhair 5, 2012
Learning a second language can boost brain power, scientists believe.
The US researchers from Northwestern University say bilingualism is a form of brain training – a mental “work out” that fine-tunes the mind.
Speaking two languages profoundly affects the brain and changes how the nervous system responds to sound, lab tests revealed.
Experts say the work in Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences provides “biological” evidence of this.
For the study, the team monitored the brain responses of 48 healthy student volunteers – which included 23 who were bilingual – to different sounds.
They used scalp electrodes to trace the pattern of brainwaves.
Under quiet, laboratory conditions, both groups – the bilingual and the English-only-speaking students – responded similarly.
But against a backdrop of noisy chatter, the bilingual group were far superior at processing sounds.
They were better able to tune in to the important information – the speaker’s voice – and block out other distracting noises – the background chatter.
‘Powerful’ benefits
And these differences were visible in the brain. The bilingualists’ brainstem responses were heightened.
Prof Nina Kraus, who led the research, said: “The bilingual’s enhanced experience with sound results in an auditory system that is highly efficient, flexible and focused in its automatic sound processing, especially in challenging or novel listening conditions.”
Co-author Viorica Marian said: “People do crossword puzzles and other activities to keep their minds sharp. But the advantages we’ve discovered in dual language speakers come automatically simply from knowing and using two languages.
“It seems that the benefits of bilingualism are particularly powerful and broad, and include attention, inhibition and encoding of sound.”
Musicians appear to gain a similar benefit when rehearsing, say the researchers.
Past research has also suggested that being bilingual might help ward off dementia.

Evidence points to holding low stakes exams, Quinn says
Deireadh Fómhair 5, 2012
Minister broadly accepted NCAA proposals
THERE IS compelling international evidence that students will perform better by moving away from “high stakes” exams like the Junior Cert, according to the Minister for Education and Skills.
The Junior Cert exam is to be replaced with a school- based model of assessment with an emphasis on the quality of students’ learning experience. The new system is modelled on current practice in Scotland, Finland, New Zealand and other high- performing education systems.
Ruairí Quinn said the new “lower stakes” Junior Cert would deliver a programme which would allow students to develop a wide range of skills, including critical thinking skills and basic skills such as numeracy and literacy.
It would, he added, “liberate teachers to do what they do best – teach effectively in the classroom”.
The Minister described his plan as “the most radical shake-up of the junior cycle programme since the ending of the Inter Cert in 1991”. Mr Quinn has broadly accepted proposals put forward by the National Council for Curriculum and Assessment (NCCA) to introduce a new junior cycle programme.
The most controversial plan is the proposal for teachers to assess their own students, which is vehemently opposed by the Association of Secondary Teachers Ireland (ASTI).
Other features of the plan include:
Most students will generally take no fewer than eight subjects and no more than 10 full subjects for certification purposes in the new junior cycle;
Students will be able to substitute two short courses for one full subject, allowing options such as Chinese or physical education or digital media literacy to be taken;
Schools will also be able to offer their own short courses in accordance with specifications provided by the NCCA. This will give schools the flexibility to tailor the programme to the needs of students i n their locality – for example, a short course might focus on an aspect of l ocal industry, agriculture or heritage;
Standardised testing will be i ntroduced in literacy and numeracy (from 2014) and in science (from 2016);
Parents will get a fuller picture of how their child is progressing at every stage of their first three years at second level, and
External supports will be available to schools who underperform in relation to national averages.
Mr Quinn said the current Junior Cert exam had dominated teaching and learning.
“The Junior Certificate is no longer a high stakes exam, yet we continue to treat it as if it were a ‘dry run’ for the Leaving Cert – to the detriment of many of our students.”
In the new exam, the State Examinations Commission (SEC) will be involved in the assessment of English, Irish and Mathematics in the initial years as recognition of the central role these subjects play in literacy and numeracy.
These subjects will be examined at higher and ordinary level, while all other subjects will be assessed at common level.
The SEC and the NCCA will also provide materials to schools to assist in ongoing assessment of students’ progress and achievement.
Explaining the changes, Mr Quinn pointed out that significant numbers of first-years did not make progress in English and maths – the key building blocks of learning. “Too many students switch off in second year and never reconnect to learning … It is high time we changed this, for the good of our students and our teachers.”

Quinn: Radical reforms will end ‘teaching to the test’
Deireadh Fómhair 5, 2012
Education Minister Ruairi Quinn says his plan for the Junior Certificate will benefit students and mean teachers are no longer under pressure to “teach to the test”.
His radical changes will see junior cycle students examined entirely by schools instead of the State.
He has largely rubber-stamped the reforms proposed last November to change the focus of the junior cycle to learning instead of preparing students for a final exam.
However, he went beyond what the National Council for Curriculum and Assessment (NCCA) advised him by deciding all elements of the Junior Certificate will eventually be set and marked by students’ teachers instead of by the State Examinations Commission.
He said regular in-school assessment at lower second-level was a feature of the best education systems.
The other main elements will include:
* Most students sitting exams in eight to 10 subjects;
* The option to take up to four short courses, with marks in two to be used in place of a traditional subject;
* Final exams will be worth 60% of total marks and, except for English, Irish, and maths, will be taken in normal school time in May;
* A new five-point awards system will replace the traditional system of A, B, etc down to no grade;
* The phased introduction of changes, starting with students entering second-level in 2014, with third-year students in 2020;
* The SEC will eventually withdraw from setting and correcting the Junior Certificate.
However, though Mr Quinn says the plan will liberate teachers and students, and give parents more information on pupils’ achievements, unions have strong concerns.
The Association of Secondary Teachers Ireland said it would be grossly naïve to presume a certificate awarded by a school would hold the same status as one awarded by the State, and ending an anonymously marked exam system will impact negatively on perceptions of impartiality and student-teacher relations.
“This is not about being paid to correct exams, we’re angry that there has been no consultation with us, or with parents and school managers. And we don’t have faith that the resources and funding for training or for administering exams in schools will be provided,” said ASTI general secretary Pat King.
The Teachers’ Union of Ireland said there was serious concern about increased workload against a background of slashes to school staffing and other cutbacks.
Mr Quinn rejected the TUI’s assertion that key elements of the plan were driven by budgetary rather than educational rationale. He said significant professional development for teachers and principals would start next year.

Education faces a new test
Deireadh Fómhair 5, 2012
FOR all its critics, the Irish educational system gets more right than wrong.
But a hardy perennial, when it comes to complaints, is the cry that our second- level schools teach by rote and that stressed students, in both the junior and senior cycles, resort to cramming in the home straight.
Yesterday Education Minister Ruairi Quinn announced a radical shake- up of the junior cycle by heralding the scrapping of the Junior Certificate, replacing it with a system of continuous assessment.
As much as 40pc of the assessment of each subject will be based on schoolwork and the rest in the shape of written exams by teachers.
Under this system there will still be standardised tests in English, Irish, Maths and Science.
This seems a progressive move and perhaps an indication of what might later apply, in some disciplines at least, in the Leaving Cert. But that is another day’s work.
The change, however, has not been unreservedly welcomed. Teachers’ unions have expressed fears that abolishing traditional state exams could erode parents’ trust in the system.
And then there is the issue of the necessary resources to fashion this new assessment process. Are there any?
The first batch of pupils to experience this brave new world start secondary school in the autumn of 2014.
That doesn’t give the Department of Education a whole lot of time to iron out any wrinkles, but plenty of time for its critics to expose any lingering flaws.

Leasú Mór ar an Teastas Sóisearach á fhógairt ag an Aire Quinn
Deireadh Fómhair 4, 2012
Tá an tAire Oideachais agus Scileanna ag fógairt go bhfuil sé chun leasú bunúsach a dhéanamh ar an Teastas Sóisearach. Leis na pleananna atá á nochtadh inniu ag an AireRuairí Quinn T.D. beidh na mic léinn, seachas na scrúduithe, ag croílár an chur chuige nua don mheasúnú.
“Tá fhios againn cheana féin go bhfuil líon suntasach de mhic léinn na céad bliana ann nach ndéanann dul chun cinn sa Bhéarla agus sa Mhatamaitic – eochairbhloic thógála na foghlama,” adúirt antAireQuinn.
“Tá an iomarca mac léinn ann a ‘lascann as’ sa dara bliain agus nach ndéanann ateagmháil ar bith leis an bhfoghlaim. Tá fhios againn go bhfuil saol mac léinn na tríú bliana faoi smacht na n-ullmhúchán do scrúduithe an Teastais Shóisearaigh agus go mbíonn an fócas cúngaithe go dtí feidhmíocht sna scrúduithe seachas caighdeán na foghlama. Tá sé thar am an scéal seo a chur ina cheart – ar mhaithe lenár mac léinn agus lenár múinteoirí.”
Is ionann na pleananna atá ag an Aire agus an t-athrú is bunúsaí ar chlár anTeastais Shóisearaigh ó cuireadh deireadh le scrúduithe na Meánteistiméireachta agus an Teastais Ghrúpa in 1991. Tá glactha go ginearálta ag an Aire Quinn le tograí atá curtha faoi bhráid ag an gComhairle Náisiúnta Curaclaim agus Measúnachta (CNCM) le clár nua timthrialla shóisearaigh a thabhairt isteach.
Beifear ag súil go ndéanfaidh na scoileanna clár a sheachadadh a chuirfidh ar chumas na mac léinn raon leathan scileanna a fhorbairt, ina measc scileanna smaoinimh chriticiúil agus scileanna bunúsacha ar nós na huimhearthachta agus na litearthachta.
Déanfaidh formhór na mac léinn 8 n-ábhar ar a laghad agus 10 n-ábhar iomlána ar a mhéid chun críche an teastasaithe sa timthriall sóisearach nua. Is féidir le mic léinn dhá chúrsa gearra a chur in ionad ábhair iomláin amháin, rud a thabharfaidh deis chun roghanna a dhéanamh ar nós na Sínise nó an Chorpoideachais nó na Litearthachta sna Meáin Dhigiteacha. Beidh scoileanna in ann chomh maith a gcuid cúrsaí gearra féin a thairiscint de réir na sonraíochtaí a bheidh curtha ar fáil ag an CNCM. Tabharfaidh sé seo an tsolúbthacht do scoileanna an clár a chur in oiriúint do riachtanais na mac léinn sa cheantar acu – mar shampla, d’fhéadfadh cúrsa gearr díriú ar ghné den tionsclaíocht áitiúil, den talmhaíocht nó den oidhreacht.
Tá sé aitheanta ag an Aire Quinn go bhfuil an scrúdú reatha tar éis brú mór a chur ar an dteagasc agus ar an bhfoghlaim. Adúirt sé, “Ní scrúdú é an Teastas Sóisearach a thuilleadh a bhuil mórán ag brath air ach mar sín féin caithimid leis amhail is dá mba ‘rith trialach’ don Ardteistiméireacht é – rud a théann chun dochair do mhórán dár mac léinn. Tá fianaise dhiongbháilte ann as mórán tíortha a léiríonn gur fearr a fheidhmeoidh cuid mhór de na mic léinn má bhogann siad ar shiúl ó scrúduithe cheann cúrsa den saghas seo.”
In ionad Scrúduithe cheann cúrsa an Teastais Shóisearaigh cuirfear samhail scoil-bhunaithe mheasúnaithe ina mbeidh an bhéim ar cháilíocht eispéireas foghlama an mhic léinn. Déanfar é seo ar bhonn céimnithe agus is é an Béarla an chéad ábhar a thabharfar isteach do mhic léinn na Céad Bliana in 2014.
Beidh Coimisiún na Scrúduithe Stáit (CSS) gafa le measúnú an Bhéarla, na Gaeilge agus na Matamaitice sna blianta tosaigh mar aitheantas ar an ról lárnach a imríonn na hábhair seo san uimhearthacht agus sa litearthacht. Scrúdófar na hábhair seo ag an ardleibhéal agus ag an ngnáthleibhéal, agus measúnófar na hábhair eile go léir ag an ngnáthleibhéal. Soláthróidh an CSS agus an CNCM ábhair chomh maith do scoileanna chun cabhrú leis an measúnú leanúnach ar dhul chun cinn agus ar ghnóthachtáil na mac léinn.
Níl sa tsamhail scoil-bhunaithe mheasúnaithe seo ach eilimint amháin den chur chuige úr don mheasúnú sa timthriall sóisearach nua. Ó 2014 amach, seasfaidh mic léinn na dara bliana tástálacha caighdeánaithe i léamh an Bhéarla agus sa Mhatamaitic, agus i léamh na Gaeilge i nGaelscoileanna. Ó 2016 amach, cuirfear tástáil chaighdeánaithe san Eolaíocht san áireamh chomh maith. Tá an CNCM ag forbairt chomh maith cárta tuairisce nua do thuismitheoirí a thabharfaidh i bhfad níos mó eolais dóibh i dtaobh dul chun cinn foghlama a mic nó a n-iníne.
Lean an tAire air, “Ní bhaineann sé seo lenár gcuid scoileanna, mac léinn agus múinteoirí bheith ag déanamh tuilleadh oibre sa timthriall sóisearach. Baineann sé le hiad a bheith ag déanamh rudaí i mbealach difriúil. Tá na múinteoirí ag déanamh an-jab cheana féin, ach is minic a bhíonn siad srianta leis na mbrú chun múineadh de réir na tástála. Saoróidh an timthriall sóisearach nua leasaithe múinteoirí agus a gcuid mac léinn. Rachaidh sé chun leasa na dtuismitheoirí chomh maith trín i bhfad níos mó a bheith ar eolas acu faoi ghnóthachtálacha a gcuid páistí thar na trí bliana den timthriall sóisearach ná mar a d’fhéadfaidís a fháil amach riamh ó theastas Scrúdaithe Stáit ag deireadh an Teastais Shóisearaigh.”
Éileoidh an fócas nua ar an measúnú Forbairt Ghairmiúil Leanúnach (FGL) suntasach do na múinteoirí agus do na Príomhoidí. Cuirfear tús leis na cláir thacaíochta seo in 2013.
“Táim tar éis éisteacht le múinteoirí agus le Príomhoidí a bhí ag iarraidh go mbeadh an timthriall sóisearach nua acmhainnithe go hiomlán. Ní bhaineann na hathruithe atá á bhfógairt agam inniu le coigilt an airgid, le fírinne cosnóidh siad i bhfad níos mó orainn ná mar a tharlódh mura ndéanfainn tada. Fiú in am seo na géarchéime airgeadais, áfach, creideann an Rialtas gur chóir infheistiú inár gcuid páistí agus cuirfidh mé ar fáil na hacmhainní go léir a theastaíonn chun a chinntiú go n-éiríonn leis an timthriall sóisearach nua,” adúirt an tAire Quinn mar fhocal scoir.
Tá fógra an lae inniu ag teacht i ndiaidh fhoilsiú Towards a Framework for Junior Cycle – Innovation and Identity leis an CNCM i mí na Samhna seo caite. Tá pléanna mionsonraithe tar éis bheith ann idir an CNCM, oifigigh as an Roinn Oideachais agus Scileanna, an CSS agus na comhpháirtithe oideachais faoina gcur i bhfeidhm siúd.
Dúirt an Dr. Anne Looney, POF an CNCM, “Tar éis don CNCM athbhreithniú a dhéanamh, ba léir go mba ghá dúinn tosnú ar an bpróiseas a bhain le bogadh ar shiúl ó scrúdú cheann cúrsa i dtreo tuilleadh béime a chur ar an measúnú scoil-bhunaithe, agus chuireamar comhairle ar an Aire ar an mbonn sin. Tá an chomhairle sin glactha aige agus tá sé tar éis dul céim níos faide leis, agus a chomharthú go bhfuil sé ag cur deireadh leis an scrúdú cheann cúrsa a bhíomar i dtaithí air sa chaoi go mbeimid in ann díriú ar an tsamhail scoil-bhunaithe ar mhaithe leis féin, seachas é bheith de bhreis ar an méid a dhéanaimid faoi láthair i scrúdú an Teastais Shóisearaigh. I gcóras atá chomh mór sin i dtaithí ar na scrúduithe, beidh sé ina dhúshlán do gach duine – lastigh den chóras agus lasmuigh de – iad féin a oiriúnú don mheon nua. Ach tá fianaise an taighde soiléir faoi na sochair a théann leis an meon nua sin – do mhúinteoirí, do na mic léinn agus do na tuismitheoirí. Agus go ngabhann na sochair sin ar aghaidh in éineacht leis na mic léinn go dtí an chéad chéim eile dá n-oideachas iar-bhunscoile.”
Dúirt Aidan Farrell, POF an CSS, “Tá an CSS ag súil le bheith ag obair leis an Roinn, leis an CNCM agus leis na comhpháirtithe oideachais chun na tograí seo a chur i gcrích. Oibreoimid go dlúth leis an CNCM chun uirlisí measúnaithe a dhearadh agus a fhorbairt a thacóidh leis na scoileanna agus leis na múinteoirí agus iad ag seachadadh na samhla nua measúnaithe.
Imreoidh an CSS ról criticiúil chun tacú leis an tionscnamh athraithe agus iad ag seachadadh scrúduithe reatha anTeastais Shóisearaigh i gcónaí. Is rud tábhachtach ar fad é go dtugann an t-athrú ag an timthriall sóisearach deis dúinn iarrachtaí níos dírithe a dhéanamh ag an timthriall sinsearach i dtreo modhanna éagsúla measúnaithe thar na hábhair scrúdaithe go léir.”
