(b) Some educators are of the opinion that take-home projects and assignments do not achieve the target of making students work independently and with interest. Some students may take the easy way out and may even copy or pliagiarise their friends’ work . As such, many believe that school-based assessment may cause more problems and adversely affect public opinion towards take-home projects and assignments.

As such, alternative methods of school-based assessment have been suggested to help encourage students to work independently and boost their learning efforts .

SECTION C40 marks

20 marks each question1a The reasons for a teacher to prepare a test blue print:

- guiding principles and procedures in executing the assessment of teaching and learning

- to ensure that the appropriate weightage for various topics and skills levels reflect accurately the pupils’ overall ability

- facilitates test construction and enables a beginner tester to get a good test.

2 reasons x 1 mark = 2 marks

Steps in preparing a test blue print-Decide the objective of the test-Decide the content of the test-Draw a bi-directional chart-Fill in the content/topics in the vertical column-Fill in the various skills (levels of cognitive domain) in the vertical columns-Decide the types and number of questions for the content and skill-check the distribution and percent of questions for the topics and skills

4 steps x 2 marks = 8 marks

1b 1.(b) (i) Alternative assessment- also called authentic or performance assessment- designed by the teacher to gauge students' understanding of the lessons taught- designed so that the content of the assessment being used matches

the content of what is being taughtAny TWO correct explanations ....................... 2 x 2 marks = 4 marks(ii) Alternative assessment methods

- Mathematical tasks given in a variety of formats: written, oral, practical; closed or open-ended; real life or abstract; completed individually or as a group

20

Page 21: SOLAN MTE3112

Code No.: MTE 3112

- observational strategies - anecdotal record keeping, annotated class lists and checklists

- questioning approaches - involving structured or open-ended interviews, self questioning, higher-order questions or fact recall.

- reporting - either oral reports or written reports in portfolios, journals and /or diaries

Any TWO of the above methods with suitable explanations and/or examples ...........................................................2 x 2 marks = 4 marks

Implications

Students are given opportunities to demonstrate the extent of their knowledge, understandings, skills, and attitudes

- Help students provide feedback continuously to their teacher

Any ONE of the above or equivalent................ 1 x 2 marks = 2 marks

(10 marks)2a Validity – when a test fulfils its purpose, it measure what it suppose to

measure.Reliability –the consistency of a test to measure accurately what it

supposes to measure. The extent to which a particular measurement is consistent and reproducible

Objectivity – the fainess of a test to the testeeDiscrimination – able to make distinction between poor and good

studentsComprehensiveness – test items covers much of the content of the

coursePractically and scoring – easy to assign quantitative value to a testUsability – a good test test is usable, unambiguous and clearly stated

with one meaning only

Any five of the characteristics being listed ----- 5 x 1 mark -= 5 marks

Explaination to the five listed characteristics----- 5 x 1 mark = 5 marks

2b Three examples on each misconception ----------- 2 x 3 marks = 6 marksDescription of error pattern on each misconception ---------- 2 x 1 mark = 2 marks

Suggestion for each misconception ----------- 2 x 1 mark = 2 marks

3a Symptoms of visual difficulties:

21

Page 22: SOLAN MTE3112

Code No.: MTE 3112

- Clumsiness

- Poor handwriting/ poor hand-eye coordinations

- Frowing and squiniting

- Become more tired more quickly than other children

- Headache

( 1 examples x 2 = 2 marks)

4 teaching strategies:

1. Use activities that encourage collaboration so that the pupils learn how to work together.

2. Provide opportunities for pupils to assiat in demonstration that can help to build their self-steem.

3. Audio tape teacher instruction and explanation so that the pupils can play-back the demonstration for themselves.

4. Find out the visual needs of the pupils such as using black on the white board, using certain font size on worksheet etc.

1 appropriate strategy = 2 marks

3b - Misconception in addition of fraction with different denominators.

- Adding the respective numerators and denominators without converting thm to equivalent fractions first before addition.

(2 marks)

Remedial activity :

Step 1: Fold and shade a circle with different color for fraction. Each shade parts is

22

Page 23: SOLAN MTE3112

Code No.: MTE 3112

½ + ½ = 2/2 = 1

Step 2: Take another circle and devide it into 3 equal parts. Shade one parts = ⅓

Therefore ⅓ + ⅓ + ⅓ = 3/3 = 1Just add the numerator value but maintain the same

value of denominator.Convert each of the fraction to equivalent fraction of the

same denominator.

Step 3: Take another circle and devide it into 6 equal parts. Shade one parts = ⅙

Therefore + + + + = 6/6 = 1⅙ ⅙ ⅙ ⅙ ⅙ ⅙So, + + = 3/6, equivalent fraction = ½⅙ ⅙ ⅙

And + = 2/6, equivalent fraction = ⅓⅙ ⅙

Step 4: = ½ (3/6) + ⅓ ( 2/6)= 3/6 + 2/6= 5 / 6

Conclusion : = ½ (3/6) + ⅓ ( 2/6)= 3/6 + 2/6= 5 / 6
