It was so chaotic when I assessed the children for the first
time since the PBS for KSSR was launched in June 2011 and we needed to give the
results at the end of the Dec 2011. And this year, the year of 2012, the
assessment seems to go a bit smoother but slower due to I now know the process
of the assessment. After 2 years of implementing PBS for KSSR at school, and to
be exact, it is only 18 months of the implementation, and after trying several
ways of implementing it, I have figured out the easiest way to assess the
children.
These are the best steps that I can lay out for you. Hope this will help me and you.
The first step that is compulsory is to identify the
descriptor and evidence in the Dokumen
Standard Prestasi (not the Dokumen Standard that we used to make lesson
plans) and match it with the skills
that have been described in the Dokumen Standard.
Then, during your lesson in class, when you plan your lesson, if there are skills
that can be assessed, make sure you also
plan your assessment. Write the
bands in your assessment column; such as
B1D1E1. Thus, your assessment should be accordingly to the skills taught in
class. And remember; not all skills taught are actually being tested. Thus,
there are no issues whether you want to do it weekly, monthly or according to
your school’s examination schedule. Inform and discuss with your colleagues who
also teach the same topic to the same badge on how you assessed your children
to make sure they do the same assessment. Don’t
be shy to share the worksheets.
Then, identify the
children that are not able to master the skill. This is the ‘Pengesanan
Dalaman’ process which is necessary so that all your pupils achieve the skill. You
can do this while the lesson is conducted or after; if you use worksheets as
your instruments. Make sure to write it down in your impact and mark the ‘Manual
Skor’.
Lastly, during your free time especially Saturday, Sunday
and Public Holiday, spend sometime to key in the score of your children in the
SPPBS. Or wait until all the bands have been tested but then the system might be jam because everyone is also trying to key it in. And remember to print the
formative and summative report and put the report in the childs' file.
One important thing to remember, make sure you assess each evidence required in
the Dokumen Standard Prestasi because we don’t know whether our hypotheses that
the children won’t be able to do the Band 5 or Band 6 is correct or
not. Thus, test all of it. That is why I asked you to go through all the
evidences (in the Dokumen Standard Prestasi) first only then you plan the
assessment.
May the steps laid out here will help you. Good luck!!!
