Lim Hooi Lian, Wun Thiam Yew, Chew Cheng Meng,

Abstract

This study aimed to statistically compare preservice teachers’ assessment knowledge in crafting assessment task and selecting assessment method in relation to their teaching experience. This study involved 397 preservice teachers’ who were final year undergraduate students in a local university. The instrument of data collection consisted of eight superitems test. Data collected was analysed by using statistical method (SPSS version 22.0). The result showed that preservice teachers for all categories of teaching experience performed better in the selecting assessment method than crafting assessment task. However, there was no significant differences existed between the three categories of teaching experience of preservice teachers for both standards of assessment knowledge assessed...

Assessment of pre-service secondary Mathematics teachers’ Van Hiele levels of geometric thinking

Chew, Cheng Meng

Abstract

The purpose of this study was to assess pre-service secondary mathematics teachers_ van Hiele levels of geometric thinking using the Van Hiele Geometry Test. The 25-item, multiple-choice, paper-and-pencil test was developed by the Cognitive Development and Achievement in Secondary School Geometry Project based on the van Hiele Theory of Geometric Thinking. The participants comprised 147 pre-service secondary mathematics teachers who attended a mathematics teaching methods course in a Malaysian public university. The data were analysed based on the _4 of 5 criterion_ to minimise the chance of a student being at a level by guessing. The results showed that 16 (10.9%) of the participants were at Level 0, 52 (35.4%) were at Level 1, 62 (42.2%) were at Level 2, 9 (6.1%) were at Level 3, 1 (0.7%) were at Level 4, none (0.0%) was at Level 5, and 7 (4.8%) could not be assigned a van Hiele level because their responses did not fit the _4 of 5 criterion._ Most of the participants were at or belo.....

Form four science students' perceptions of the quality of learning experiences provided by assessments in STEM related subjects

Chew, Cheng Meng

Abstract

The lagging science and mathematics achievement of Malaysian secondary students in international assessment studies and the decreasing enrollment of science students at secondary school level call for the promotion of Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics (STEM) education in our country. One of the preliminary steps that could be taken was to identify the quality of learning experiences provided by assessments in STEM related subjects at the secondary school level. In addressing this concern, this study (which is part of a larger research project) aimed to investigate Form Four Science students' perceptions of the quality of learning experiences provided by assessments in STEM related subjects such as Biology, Chemistry, Physics, Mathematics and Additional Mathematics. A cross-sectional survey research design was used and a sample of 852 Form Four Science students was selected from three categories of secondary schools in Peninsular Malaysia, namely Daily High-Performing (12.....
