WEEK 6
Changed my topic to Teachers' Concerns On the Implementation of School-Based Assessment.
LITERATURE REVIEW
School-based
assessment is the combination of the previous central examination and
school-based assessing method. With this implementation, teachers play
important role in assessing the students (Faizah, 2011). However, according to
Shanusi (n.d) in his article, the system will empower the school and the
teachers to carry out more assessment at the school level which can be the
challenges for both the teachers and the schools. Teachers are given the
responsibilities to assess their students based on their performance throughout
the whole year in school. However, there have been some assumptions whether or
not the teacher are willing to adapt their teaching in appropriate directions
(Yung, 1995). Alaba (2012) somehow manage to list out some benefits of
implementing the system in school, which covers on the improved students
participation in class, as well both teachers and students’ motivation and
self-confidence. It is important to make sure that both the school and the
teachers are fully prepared for the implementation because it is the teachers
who can make the implementation successful and it is the teachers also that can
lead to the downfall of the system (Yong H. T, 2008).
