SBA Annual Conference

(25 Oct 2014)

1

Supervisors’ Remarks

Chemistry : 14965 students (435 schools) submitted SBA marks CS(Chem) : 3377 students (191 schools) submitted SBA marks

Moderation (statistical methods and professional judgment) Chemistry :65.3% of schools within expected range

13.0% of schools higher than expected 21.7% of schools lower than expected

CS(Chem) : 70.5% of schools within expected range 11.6% of schools higher than expected 17.9% of schools lower than expected

For those higher or lower than expected, majority only deviate slightly from expected range

2

In SBA context, V.A. should aim at training and assessing basic

experimental skills for volumetric analysis.

Supervisors’ Remarks

Scope and depth of Q.A. need not be similar to those of the ALChemistry Practical Examination. The minimum requirements forQ.A. are just simple tests on cations, and/or anions.

EXPT should be experiments similar to those suggested in the Curriculum and Assessment Guide, but for ‘Chemistry’, they should be other than V.A. and Q.A., while for ‘CS(Chem)’, they should be other than V.A.

Worksheet, quiz and brief / detailed laboratory report, etc. are all acceptable. However, writing detailed laboratory reports is definitelya good training.

Providing feedback to students’ submitted reports is important forfacilitating students’ improvement. Students should be encouraged todiscuss with teachers to understand their own performance.

3

Submission of Experiment List for S5 / S6 • Some experiment lists were submitted late to district coordinators

• Some lists were found very different from the provided template format

• Incomplete list: only titles of SBA assessed experiments were included in the experiment list

• Over‐simplified experiment titles (e.g. QA01, VA01, EXPT01) are not accepted

4

Experiment List Format:

• Teachers may modify the format of the template

• To facilitate district coordinators’ checking, advised to have one similar to the provided template

5

• The experiment list should include all the experiments performed.

• QA (BCA) Detection of cations / anions.

• Organic functional group identification EXPT

6

Mark Submission

Students’ Written Works (Reports, worksheets, quizzes)

Basic requirement of SBA

Performance in Carrying Out Experiments

Optional

Should be indicated clearly on the submitted students’ works samples

Students’ Attitude Should not be assessed in SBA

7

Mark Submission Marks (10, 9, 8 ……… ) Preferred

Grades (A, B, C, ……….) Acceptable

Provide Mark/Grade conversion tables for coordinators’ reference

Marking standards among different classes in the same school • Teachers should perform school‐based standardization, to

standardize the SBA tasks and marking standards.

• Students in a school should be assessed on tasks of similar nature, complexity and required skills.

8

Mark Submission • Narrow mark distributions within a class

• Some extreme cases, most students got very high marks / most students got very low marks

• Recommendation: Teachers may modify the task requirements / worksheet items according to the general abilities of the students in a class.

Teachers may:

• Add some challenging items for classes of more able students

• Add some simple / basic items classes of less able students

9

Submission of Scanned Students’ Works • Missing reports

• Missing pages in the scanned PDF file (extreme case: all even pages were missing)

• Only students’ answers on the worksheet. No clear descriptions about the tasks were included. (Recommend: include the lab manual in the scanned file)

• Faint handwritings on the scanned pages (Avoid using pencils or light‐coloured pens for completing the worksheets)

10

Worksheet / Quizzes • If the worksheets used were adopted from textbooks or

provided by publishers, ensure the students cannot obtain the standard/reference answers before the SBA session.

• Teachers may make appropriate modifications to the standard worksheets

• For quizzes, the questions should be closely related to the performed experiment.

11

School Year

Chemistry

Minimum number of assessment marks

Subject weighting

S5 2 10%

S6 2 10%

Over the two years of S5 and S6, there should be at least one mark for Volumetric Analysis (VA), one mark for Qualitative Analysis (QA) and two marks for Other Experiments (EXPT).

Investigative Study (IS) can be done in lieu of Other Experiments (EXPT). In this case, one mark on ‘planning’ and one mark on ‘process and reporting’ should be awarded. These two marks can satisfy the minimum requirement for Other Experiments (EXPT).
