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...

The purpose of this study was to assess a hierarchy of Malaysian pre-service secondary mathematics teachers_ algebraic thinking in using equation. The content domains incorporated in this framework were linear pattern (pictorial), direct variation, concept of function, arithmetic sequence and inverse variation. The SOLO model was used for coding the pre-service secondary mathematics teachers_ responses and the Rasch model (rating scale analysis) was used to clarify the construction of the hierarchy. The participants of this study consisted of 120 pre-service secondary mathematics teachers who were first year and second year students in a local university. They were given a pencil-and-paper test. The test comprised ten superitems. Results of the study revealed that seven different levels of algebraic thinking were identified, namely prestructural, unistructural, multistructural, lower relational, relational, upper relational and extended abstract. Results of the study also indicated tha.....
