Abstract: | "Thinking Schools Learning Nation" was mooted by our then Prime Minister Goh C.T. in 1997. Since then, several changes introduced have helped mould the educational landscape of today. However, formal assessment in primary science remains largely unchanged, relying heavily on standardised assessment items or MCQ. While MCQ testing brings about merits of large-scale testing, it has its limitations. This paper reports on a pilot study conducted with 20 primary 4 students and 20 primary 6 students (N=40) using a "reflective" framework to complement the existing MCQ structure to alleviate its limitations. |
