STANDARDIZED TESTS
![Page 3: Leong Qi Dong Jaw Li Wen Joshua Tan Foo Guo Wei](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022062308/56649dac5503460f94a9c646/html5/thumbnails/3.jpg)

Purpose of standardized testing
Improve accountability Have a norm-referenced score Raise the standard of education in
schools Practicality Better gauge of ability

Current situation
Non-instructional factors come to play Standardized-test scores often measure
superficial thinking Time, energy, and money Restricted curriculumn
![Page 6: Leong Qi Dong Jaw Li Wen Joshua Tan Foo Guo Wei](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022062308/56649dac5503460f94a9c646/html5/thumbnails/6.jpg)
Flaws
The distribution of resources is very uneven
Standardized tests measure the temporary gaining of facts rather than understanding
Testing only on knowledge

Vicious cycle of raised test standards vs grade inflation
Teaching to test, drill-and-skill teaching Distorts and narrows education High stakes

Possible alternatives – In the 21st century Introducing performance-based
assessment where students are evaluated on the basis of real work
programs where students are challenged to read, explore, investigate, think and progress rapidly

Solutions
Media should take the effort to understand school’s students before publishing articles
Introduce some programmes that elite schools have to the other schools.

BILINGUALISM IN A MULTICULTURAL SOCIETY –
ARE THESE PROBLEMS UNIQUE TO SINGAPORE?
![Page 18: Leong Qi Dong Jaw Li Wen Joshua Tan Foo Guo Wei](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022062308/56649dac5503460f94a9c646/html5/thumbnails/18.jpg)
Problems in America
There are more than 300 languages spoken in the United States by people whose primary language is a language other than English.
![Page 19: Leong Qi Dong Jaw Li Wen Joshua Tan Foo Guo Wei](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022062308/56649dac5503460f94a9c646/html5/thumbnails/19.jpg)
Problems in America
If the United States were to become a bilingual society, it would spark off a heated argument among the immigrants on the choosing of the two official languages.
![Page 20: Leong Qi Dong Jaw Li Wen Joshua Tan Foo Guo Wei](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022062308/56649dac5503460f94a9c646/html5/thumbnails/20.jpg)
Problems in America
If the 2 languages are not properly learned, a mix-up of the 2 might happen, creating something similar to singlish. Pronunciation and spelling of the 2 languages would also be affected.

Problems in America
With the increase in number of Hispanic population in America, many fear that Spanish would dominate the language system.
