TOPIC 2 FOUNDATION FOR ASSESSMENT: What to Assess Presented By Dr. Zaidi Intro LEARNING OUTCOMES Intro INTRO If you were to ask a teacher, what should be assessed in the classroom, the immediate response would be, of course, the facts and concepts taught. They are the facts and concepts found in science, history, geography, language, arts, religious education and other similar subjects. However, the Malaysian Philosophy of Education states that education should aim towards the holistic development of the individual. Hence, it is only logical that the assessment system should also seek to assess more than the acquisition of the facts and concepts of a subject area. What about assessment of physical and motor abilities? What about socioemotional behaviours such as attitudes, interests, personality and so forth? Do they not contribute to the holistic person?

IMPLIKASI FPN KPD PENTAKSIRAN 01 Whether our schools have developed “the potentials of individuals in a holistic and integrated manner” 02 Whether our students are “intellectually, spiritually, emotionally and physically balanced” 03 Whether our students are “knowledgeable and competent and ”possess high moral standards” 04 Whether our students have a “high level of personal well-being” 05 Whether students are equipped with the abilities and attitudes that will enable them „to contribute to the harmony and betterment of the family, society and the nation at large‰. Contents 2.2 THREE TYPES OF LEARNING OUTCOMES 01 02 Cognitive learning Affective learning outcomes (knowledge or outcomes (feelings or mental skills); emotions) 03 Psychomotor learning outcomes (manual or physical skills). Holistic Assessment of Learners 1 1 2 3 To assess the three domains, one has to identify and isolate the Feelings behaviour that represents these Skill domains. (emotions, Thinking attitudes) When we assess we evaluate some ou could ask them to You could ask them to aspects of the learner’s behaviour, You might ask them to list the prepare satellite maps for example, his ability to compare, characteristics of the Malaysian design an exhibition on about the changing explain, analyse, solve, draw, rainforest and compare it with how students could pronounce, feel, reflect and so the coniferous forest of Canada; Malaysian rainforest by forth. contribute towards accessing websites from conserving the rainforest; The term “behaviour” is used the Internet. and broadly to include the learner’s ability to think (cognitive), feel (affective) and perform a skill (psychomotor). For example, you have just taught about “The Rainforest of Malaysia” and you would like to assess your students in their: 2.3 ASSESSING COGNITIVE LEARNING OUTCOMES When we evaluate or assess a human being, we are assessing or evaluating the behaviour of a person. This might be a bit confusing to some people. Are we not assessing a person’s understanding of the facts, concepts and principles of a subject area? Bloom’s Taxonomy and The Helpful Hundred.

Krathwohl, Bloom and Bertram’s Taxonomy of Affective Taxonomy of Affective Receiving Respondin Valuing The behaviours at the responding level The behaviours at the receiving level require the learner to be aware of, gto be an active require the learner This level relates to the worth or value a person attaches to a particular object, phenomenon or participant, attend to and react to a willing to hear and focus his or her behaviour. It ranges from simple acceptance to particular phenomenon, be willing to the more complex state of commitment. Valuing is attention. Examples of verbs respond and gain satisfaction in based on the internalisation of a set of specified describing behaviours at the responding (motivation). Examples of values while clues to these values are expressed receiving level are ask, choose, verbs describing behaviours at the in the learner as overt behaviours and are often describe, follow, give, hold, locate, identifiable. responding level are answer, assist, aid, name, point to, reply and so forth. comply with, conform, discuss, greet, help, label, perform, practise, present, read, recite, report, select, tell, and write.

The emphasis is on importantly, characterises the learner. comparing, relating and synthesising values. Affective Taxonomy for Honesty Chapter 4 2.5 ASSESSING PSYCHOMOTOR LEARNING OUTCOMES The psychomotor domain includes physical movement, coordination and use of the motor-skill areas. Development of these skills requires practice and is measured in terms of speed, precision, distance, procedures or techniques in execution.
