[Asia Economy Honam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Lee Jun-gyeong] Jeonnam Provincial Office of Education announced on the 3rd that it will conduct a "Training to Strengthen the Ability to Create CSAT-type Evaluation Questions" in preparation for the expansion of the regular admission phase of university entrance exams, jointly with EBS.

This training will be held from today until the 11th at The Ocean Hotel in Yeosu, with about 100 secondary school teachers from Jeonnam province participating. The participants will be divided into 14 groups and the training will be conducted through lectures as well as participatory and practical sessions.

Senior authors of EBS-linked textbooks have been invited as instructors to organize the curriculum so that teachers can experience the national-level exam question creation process. The training will be divided by CSAT subjects and conducted in a 1:1 customized manner.

In particular, to enhance the effectiveness of the training, trainees were assigned pre-tasks to predict the answer rates of the 2020 College Scholastic Ability Test and the mock evaluation in June next year, and to create questions accordingly.

The Office of Education plans to form a separate talent pool composed of those who complete this training to utilize them as question creators and reviewers for nationwide exams, as well as to continuously operate the same training program.

Wi Kyung-jong, Director of Secondary Education, said, "Through this training, classroom instruction for CSAT preparation will be continuously improved so that students can gain competitiveness in both regular and early admissions," and added, "We expect that the evaluation and question creation skills, which are challenging in school settings, will be enhanced."
