Clanek na podlagi sodobnejsih teoreticnih izhodisc odgovorja na vprasanje, kaj je mogoce meriti s poustvarjalnimi besedili, kakrsno je solski esej.

English synopsis

Referring to contemporary theories, the article discusses what can be measured with recreative texts such as the school essay.

English summary

Against the backdrop of recent changes in literary curricula, the article addresses a number of pertaining questions: can the existing form of testing be related to the new curricular drafts, what is the philosophy behind reading ability testing, what can re-created texts 'measure', and which foreign models, besides our own experience, can be of help in designing the new system. The objective type of testing, which covers only literary knowledge, is challenged by the concept of relative objectivity in know<->ledge testing, which should be combined with students' creativity and subjective response. The suggested basis for objective evaluation is a set of detailed criteria for essay scoring. These criteria are summed up in the final part of the article. The article also discusses dialogic reading as a type of exercise, questions literary classes programming based on literary history, and advocates optional approach in discussing literary texts in the classroom.
