    2. student can be tested and assessed by :
    Exams: formative, during the teaching and learning process throughout the year and after
    Teaching a learning.
    This can identify pupil’s weakness concerning a certain skill for remedial work.

    QUESTION 1
    the functional view, in my opinion functional view is whereby for example in a class when a teacher is teaching a subject for example english, the method that is used to teach that particular subject for instant asking students to do a role play on a certain topic, if the students understand the topic with the method that is used that means the method is functional. sturctural view is whereby a teacher is using papers,books and so on to teach a subject in my opinion its boring and not effective. thats my view on the stuructural view.

    QUESTION 2
    students can be tested and asessed in many ways such as quizes, researchers, mid term test, presentation, role play, group discussion and so on. why i say all the above is because quizes will help students to gain extra marks and teachers can evaluate how far the students understand a certain topic that has been tought by the teacher to the student. researches will help student to understand the topic better and it will help them to be expose to the net and find the information by them self. when teachers ask the students the question, if the studebts can response to the question that has been ask to the student that mean the student had done his research and understand about the topic. mid term test will help students to know the ability to answer the question and will also help them to know about their ability to answer the question and will also help them to know where is their weakness. presentation will help students to be more confident. it will help to increace the students level of confident when the talk infront of people about the topic that is given to them. by doing role play it will develop the students skills and they will enjoy doing so and understand better on what the are doing and the teachers can evaluate this role play by the effectiveness of the role play.

    QUESTION 3
    the aim of test and asessments is to know whether a student understand or not a certain topic or subject that is being tought by the teacher. it is also to evaluate the students potential of understanding the topic. its also help the students to apply the knowledge rightfully. it also will encourage students to find or to know their mistakes after hte teacher ad check or marked their work.

    QUESTION 4
    it was formed on 3 mei 1956. in 1957 there were many changes that had occur in this unit as for example te penyata razak. the changes have to be done because to have a better education system in malaysia.

    QUESTION 5
    there are four types of major national examination that is in malaysia and that is UPSR( UJIAN PENILAIAN SEKOLAH RENDAH ), PMR( PENILAIAN MENENGAH RENDAH ), SPM( SIJIL PELAJARAN MALAYSIA ) AND STPM( SIJIL TINGGI PELAJARAN MALAYSIA ). UPSR,PMR AND SPM is compalsary exams that should be sit my all students in malaysia before living school. PMR will determine which stream will be a student will be placed in either science stream or arts. and SPM will determine the future of the student that have sat for these exams.

    QUESTION 6
    in our philosophy class we are asesses in many ways. for example doing research and presentation, discussin between group members and also comunicating through blog. in my opinion it is a great way to asesses and tested as we wont feel bored by the things that our lecturer do with us to asessed us unlike other classes we are asessed the same way all the time. so with this we can express our opinion, share our opinion or have argumnetto come out with better results and understanding on a certain topic. it also help students to be more indipendent to finf information by our own instead of spoon feeding by our lecturer. it helps the students to find the information by surfing the net. as miss sarada always say information is just a click away....i will use the same method thats being used by beloved miss sarada in class to asess my students. this is my own opinion on question 6. thank you.

    I'm Fei Lien :
    Question 1
    The functional view is the method that teacher used to teach a particular subject, for example by asking or giving a task to student to do, if the students can understand to the task, that means the method that used by teacher is functional.
    The structural view is the way of teaching method that used is more traditional and not creative like not using the technology things, for example, PowerPoint to teach student. They only using textbook to teach so will make the learning process become not effective and bored in class.

    Question 2
    The few ways students can be tested and assessed is give a group presentation. This can test the validity and gain experience on what they learn, by the way can ask students to write a report before presentation, then only present and explain it to class based on how far they know, understand and learn of the topic.
    Other than that, using the true-false questions, multi-purpose questions, short answer questions, matching questions and fill-in the blanks questions. This also can test and assessed the students understanding of what they learn about in class. To make the teacher know who are fall in behind and can focus more to the students.
    Third is can giving a task or research to students. This is because giving a task to students can make the students become more independence, critical thinking and work hard to find the information they needs and finish it. In addition, can make students to understand of the task first and can give the feedback to teacher based on their understanding. Task can make the student to do and use the information they found, not just memories but understand it.

    Question 3
    The aim of tests and assessments is to make sure the level of understanding of students based on what they learn. This is because can make the teacher to know the weak learning student ,can more focus and help to improve the students academic and learning ,to guide they in a right way ,by changing the style of teaching method or skill.
    Secondly, is to know the abilities perform in specific content areas. For example, in the tests and assessments giving by teacher to students, can make the teacher understand which type of study or course are suitable for students like might in science stream or art stream, to make sure the students have interest to continue their study.
    Test and assessment can help students know their own mistake and correct it, to make sure can minimum the same mistake will not do it again in examination or future.
    Other than that, can improving the communication skill of students. This is because by giving an oral assessment like presentation, speech, public speaking, debates and etc. Due to oral assessments will make the students interaction to other when they present something, at the same time also have the feedback or respond from audience.

    There are many ways that I assessed and tested in philosophy education class, which is doing research every week and then have a group discussion in class to exchange knowledge with friends that I surfing on the net, to make more understand to the topic, at the same time the lecture will come and ask questions to make more clear to the topic. Surfing information on net, not only will make me become independence but also thinking critical to solve problem when can found certain topic. Sometime, we also have a presentation about our topic and can get feedback from other students. In this kind of tested and assessed, I feel more interest to learn and not feel bored in class because can communicate with friends to shared ideas, opinion and argument also with certain topic to have a better understanding of a topic. When I become an educator, I also will use this kind of tested and assessed to my student due to can make the students become more interesting and fun to learn my subject.

    D-DHARAN::
    6. In my philosophy class we don’t use slides or notes in our learning and teaching process. But we still study and get knowledge.wht our madam cute will do is, she will ask us to do some small mini research on the topic she going to teach. The research we do will be our notes for the topic, so we are the teacher for our self. Its not easy yet it can be fun when doing research. This research will give us a lot of information. After research will bring the print out to class and discuss with our madam cute n frnds.
    This will give us more idea and clear picture about the research and topic. When we do our research will have to read our research before bring it to class. So like or not we have to read. Group discuss is the way our madam cute will use in the class, in her class there is no answer “I DNT NO” n there is “NO WRITE”. Our madam cute give us quiz in the blog and test in the class. So we just have to get ready and go for it. All note will be post in the blog, any up date also will be in the blog. Why she give us this all in the blog because she wants us to get in touch with her most of the time and with the other class student. With this our class can exchanges ideas opinion and suggestions with them, this will also give a good team building in our class.
    When I become an educator I will surely follow my madam tengku nor foots steps with my madam cute guide line. I can be sure my student will love me n my teaching, when they love me they will score good marks. I will make my class as the time of happiness as what my madam tengku nor is doing. With my madam cute style it will surely will b a great class.

    question 1:
    Testing and evaluation is the one of teaching methods used to help student planning and learning the goals. As example some teacher do a weekly quiz testing for student, it will measure the achievement of student week by week. So teacher can evaluate the student achievement and demonstrate what the students have learned, if the students can score the quiz means the method of teaching are functional. Structural view is how can student students understand and score the subject? So teacher can do multiple choice exams to recall of information and also to demonstrate memory. Other than that teacher use different method to teach student such as using power point, discussion in class, forum and what so ever. Students easy to understand and can score the subject.

    • Pop quizzes- when teacher do a pop quizzes, the students have to brainstorming to get the idea to answer the questions. So if teacher doing a pop quizzes tests the teacher know how much they have learned and can they understand what they have learned.
    • Role-play- role play is the way to increase their level of confidence and student easy to learn the subject.
    • Discussion- students can share their ideas or suggestion with other friends, if the ideas can’t be used so the teacher can explain the truth so the students will learn and revise it.

    Question 6
    In our philosophy class, we can share our idea and suggestion to others friends and we discuss to find the truth answer based on our research. So we not scared to giving ideas because our lecture there to guide us to find the true answer. Based on that we have to do research and present on the front and other friends will support and sharing their ideas and suggestions. We are tests and assessed from doing are discussions and presentations. When I become are educator I will assessed my students in many methods such as doing are discussion in class so the students will share ideas and learn something. With discussion they will argue and find a best answer aside they have learned new things.as example In our philosophy class, we research the topic and discuss at the class with lecture guiding us. Other than that I will assessed student in role play methods as example for history subject, students will act the character and act what happen in the past events. In that way they are easy to understand and learn because when we using role play methods they don’t feel bored and will increase their confidence level. I also assessed my student by doing weekly quizzes for students can focus their aims and can evaluate their performance week by week in particular subject. Yes I can make tests and assessment fun because it’s the best way to make students understand what we are teaching. If the class so boring so the students can’t focus what we are teach. Make fun and interactive tests and assessment can make students courageous to come to our class.

    Question 1

    In my opinion the functional view its means how the testing work out into student.It evaluate student understanding about subjects.
    If the student understand the task means the result will be effective.
    The structural view means the material and strategy that use by teacher must be interesting to get student attention. If the teacher failed to do so in process of imparting knowledge will not effective.

    Other than that can tested via computer-adaptive testing its meansIct aided.this will help student improve their Knowledge in ICT. they will expert in ICT.
    The third way is students can be tested by research and presantation.When they doing their reasearch they will try to getting the right information about the subject or topic.This make the students be indepedence. they able to do their work with succesfully.

    Question 5

    UPSR-At the end of primary education, students in national schools are required to undergo a standardised test known as the Ujian Pencapaian Sekolah Rendah (UPSR) or Primary School Evaluation.The subjects tested are Malay comprehension, written Malay, English, Science and Mathematics.
    PMR-formerly known as Sijil Pelajaran Rendah (SRP) or Lower Certificate of Education (LCE)) or Lower Secondary Evaluation is taken by students. Based on choice, they will be streamed into either the Science stream or Arts stream.
    SPM-At the end of Form 5, students are required to take the Sijil Pelajaran Malaysia (SPM) or Malaysian Certificate of Education examination, before graduating from secondary school.The students can choose whether they want to continue their studies or going to working field.
    STPM-After the SPM, students from public secondary school would have a choice of either studying Form 6 or the matriculation (pre-university). If they are accepted to continue studying in Form 6, they will also take the Sijil Tinggi Persekolahan Malaysia(STPM).Although it is generally taken by those desiring to attend public universities in Malaysia, it is internationally recognised and may also be used, though rarely required, to enter private local universities for undergraduate courses.

    Question 1
    In my opinion, If different or creative method that the teacher use such as cartoons, songs and power point slide make the students fall in love in that particular subject and understand easily means that is functional. If the teacher does not teach in creative method and only using the text book like in school and make the students bored and not effective means that is structural.

    Question 2
    There are many ways that the students can be tested and assessed. For example giving quizzes to the students. The teacher can give quizzes to the students after finish teaching every chapter. Throughout this quizzes, the teacher can evaluate the student’s level on that particular chapter. It help the students to know their level on that chapter, from that they will correct their mistakes and learn more. The second way is giving a group assignment. The students will search more information to do their group assignment and also will share their knowledge and the information each other. It will help the students to understand and know very well on that particular topic. Next is giving test to the students to evaluate their level on that particular subject. If the students does not able to do the questions and get low marks in test, the students will concentrate more on that subject to get high score.

    Question 3
    The aim of test and assessments is the teacher can identify the student’s level in education. It will help the teacher to form into the groups based on their levels and use better way to teach the weak students to make the students better in their studies. The test and assessments also help the students to know their mistakes. Therefore they will correct their mistakes and they will not do that mistake again in their test. Other than that by giving test and assessment like presentation, group assignment, debates, role play and more can help the students to improve their communication skills and also it make the students more independent and remove the student’s scariness.

    Question 4
    The exam unit formed on 3 Mei 1957. It have be change because to have better education to all the Malaysians.

    Question 5
    There are 4 types of major national examinations in Malaysia. There are UPSR, PMR, SPM and STPM. At the end of primary education, standard six students will take this UPSR (Ujian Pencapaian Sekolah Rendah) examination. The Malay schools (SK) student take 5 subject that is Malay comprehension, written Malay, English, Science and Mathematics. But the Chinese and Tamil school [SJK(C) and SJK(T)] students takes 7 subjects that is Chinese comprehension and written Chinese for the Chinese school students and Tamil comprehension and written Tamil for the Tamil school students. Next is the Penilaian Menengah Rendah (PMR, formerly known as Sijil Pelajaran Rendah (SRP) taken by the students at the end of Form 3. There are 7 compulsory subjects for all the students. That is Bahasa Malaysia, English, Mathematics, Science, Geography, History and Living Skill. Some Tamil and Chinese students take 8 subjects in PMR. The Chinese students add Chinese subject and the Tamil students add Tamil subject. Based on the PMR result, the students will be streamed into either the Science stream or Arts stream. Other than that at the end of Form 5, students will take the Sijil Pelajaran Malaysia (SPM) or Malaysian Certificate of Education examination. In this SPM examination the student can take the subject as much as they can, but cannot less than 5 subjects. The compulsory subjects are Bahasa Malaysia, English, Mathematics, History, and Moral. Lastly, at the end of upper Form 6, the student will take STPM (Sijil Tinggi Prsekolahan Malaysia) examination which known as Malaysia Higher School Certificate. In STPM examination the students can take minimum 4 subjects or maximum 5 subjects.

    Question 6
    I think I can make tests and assessments fun. In my Philosophy in Education class I will farm the students into the groups and ask the students to discuss about the topic that I gave to them. After that I ask them to tell their opinions to the class. I believe that, this will help the students to gain more knowledge from their friends and improve their communication skills. After the student’s discussion I will explain more about the topic that I gave to them. The second way is, I will use colorful power point slide to teach the students. I think this is more effective way and the students will not get bored easily. I also will give break to the students in middle of the class to freshness their mind. Other than that I will also ask question to the students randomly. I will give extra point or presents to the student who answers my question correctly. I believe that the way I teaching will make the students fall in love in this subject and they will do better in their test.

    in my opinion,test and assessment cannot be done in fun way.This is because assessment is done to give a student practice or give knowledge.It can be done in the way of discussion or as games.However test is where we test the students capabilty in doin a paper..it also test thier skills of knowledge..Test only can be done as induvidual.
    This is why test couldn't be done as fun as assessment.
    In our philosophy class our lecturer ask us to do reasearch about some titles. when we are given a task to do research we will try to gain information from any sources.This will give us alot of information.However when the teacher give explanation about the research it would help the student to understand more in detail. By giving a task to a student to do a research it will make the student more capable and be independent.

    question 2:

    debate issues and solutions with the whole class.
    - student can be assessed bu giving them debate which related to the subject. such as malaysian studies which learned by the form 6 student and also universities or colleges student.

    encouraging student to work together( group discussion)
    - doin group work or discussion they can share their opinions and ideas. moreover they also can understand the topic easily based on this method.

    student should be assessed after each topic been taught.
    - students will understand more detail with this method of asessment because they practice it right after the certain topic is been taught. so. they will get the skills or knowledge with having assessment end of the topic.

    coursework essays should not set a word limit.
    - the good students will naturally have alot to say n write, and deserve high marks. if there is word limit actually were are discouraging the students ideas and they will not think wisely but will focus on the word limitations.

    SHARON PREMKUMARI
    1)a)There have many functional view of testing and evaluation are in the integral components of teaching and learning. There are:
    Validity
    The value of a test result is based on the premise that the test is a relevant and representative spot check and inspection in relation to the learning objectives. By this, the teacher will be able to understand the students understanding about the subjects that are teach by teachers based on the students result.

    Reliability
    The marking of a test must be defensible and thorough and should do justice to then person being assessed. According to the students result, the teacher can rearrange the students according to the students ability and it’s can help teacher to teach the student according to the students understanding.

    Transparency
    Transparency means that it should be clear to the student what is expected of him or her when being tested. By this, the students will learn more about what question is very important parts in that subject and will learn how to answer correctly to the question( open question and multiple choice).

    b) Structure can assist, and in many cases conduct and/or arrange, experimental evaluation and testing.
    The structure is the material that used by teachers in their teaching process.One of the material is ICT Facilities.The teacher can make the subject more creative by using ICT Facilities. For an example, Power point slides, videos, and other material.The feedback from the students will get faster.

    The test scores can be translated in to two major instruction finding. There are identity which students need remediation and which parts of instruction need to be improved. In other words, if few students fail a certain question, these students need remediation but if a great number of students don’t perform well, the instruction itself and the test item needs to be enhanced.

    b) Focus groups
    A focus group is special kind of group discussion that is designed to elicit information about the wants , needs, viewpoints, belief’s of the students understanding.Group discussion will help students to gain more knowledge about the particular topic by other opinion.It;s because, in group discussion all students will work together about the particular topic and will get more detail about that topic by very easy.
    c) Presentation
    students can tested and assessed by through presentation.When the student present their presentation the teachers can understand more clearly about the students understanding when they giving elaboration, example and their ideas.
    d)Learner assessment

    3) The aim of the test and assessments is to contribute to the student’s learning process. This contribution can be selective, in that it assesses whether the student has mastered what he or she is supposed to master as stated in the final attainment levels and learning objectives, or diagnostic, in that it points out the areas in which a student is weaker and in need of additional guidance.

    4)In 3 mei 1956 the exam unit was formed. In 1957, the exam unit was rearrange the systems.For an example Penyata Razak report .

    5)The difference major national examination:
    There have five major nationl examination.There are UPSR(Ujian Penilaian Sekolah Rendah), PMR(Peperiksaan Menengah Rendah), SPM(Sijil Peperiksaan Malaysia) and STPM(Sijil Tinggi Pelajaran Malaysia).UPSR is the examination that did by standard 6 students.The SJK(T) and SJK(C) schools students will take 7 subjects according to the KBSR Formet.But SK schools students will take 5 subject only.
    The second major national examination PMR is the examination that did by form 3 students according to the KBSM formet.PMR results will determine the students enrollment for form 4 students either they are going to science or arts streams.
    Beside that, SPM is the very important examination for students to choose their career in their future. There have 8 to 10 subjects that take by students a
    ding to the KBSM.
    Other than that, STPM is a optional exam for the students.The students can continue their studies by doing STPM in government and private schools.STPM is a higher education exam in our country and it’s very important exam to enter university for doing bachelor education.

    6)Philosophy in education class.When you become an educator how will you fest and assess your students?Do you think that you can test and assessment fun? Yes/No
    YES.In my opinion, I think that the assessment and test must be fun so that the students will fall in love with the subject.I’ll make test and assessment for students with very fun. There have many types of activities that I’ll fest and assess the students. First activity is focus group discussion.
    By formed group discussion by students, the students will gain more knowledge about that particular subject.Students will be mora active when they sharing theirs ideas with their friends and teachers also will be a good friend to students.It’s can help the teachers to know well their students understanding.
    Second activity that I will did for my students is group assignment. Group assignment is a one of the good activity that help students to learn with quickly and very easy.Nowaday students are very interesting in using computer systems.By doing this group assignment the students will more active in doing Power point presentation by creative and innovative and learn very quickly.

    Other than that, presentation is a very effective full methods. The teacher can understand the students understanding when the students are doing presentation. The ideas, opinion, and suggestion are given by students shows that the students know the subject well or not.
    Besides that, quizzes also one of the good assessment to make the lesson more fun. The students are always feel very happy when they are doing quizzes. I will give some quizzes for student to test their mentality.

    batuma,
    question 1
    In my opinion the functional view its means the method that teacher used to teach a particular subject, for example for history subject teacher can use creative method to teach to the students for understand well. For example by asking or giving a task, role play to student to do, if the students can understand to the task, that means the method that used by teacher is functional. If the student understand the task means the result will be effective Teacher should not follow the traditional teaching style when she or he teaching in the classroom.The structural view means the method and skill that use by the teacher must be interesting and creative to get student attention.for an example teacher must be use PowerPoint slides,music and so on to make students interesting in particular subject.
    question 2,
    There are few ways that the students can be tested and assessed. By doing quizzes end of each chapter teachers can identified the academic level of a student in the various subject Otherwise, by doing so, students will correct their mistakes and learn more for following chapters. Test and assessments can conduct the students to improve their knowledge and intelligence in systematic procedure. Another way is using several techniques such as role plays, power point presentation, demonstration, forums, debates, and research. By using these techniques it easily we can see student’s talents, understanding and the communication between an educator and students become more effective. This ways help teacher to test the student competence and also make students more independence.
    question 3,
    The aim of test and assessments is the teacher will be known about student’s academic level. Another thing, the students also can identify themselves condition in their studies.So,the test and assessments will help students to improve their knowledge in particular subject.Otherwise,test and assessment also help teacher to improve their teaching method. It is because, when the teacher known students academic level, he or she have to change their teaching method to guide the students. They cannot use the same teaching method among good students and weak students. So, the teacher must use better way to teach weak students. Furthermore, test and assessment like presentation, role play, and forum help students improve their communication skills and remove their scariness.

    batuma,
    question 4,
    Equally
    Exam unit was formed on 3rd mei 1956.The malaysian education system bring the changes in 1957 to get better education to all Malaysians such as Razak report 1956 and Barnes report 1951.
    question 5,
    There are four major national examinations:
    Ujian pencapaian sekolah rendah (UPSR)- students will study for 6 years from 6 to 12 years old and the core subject The Malay schools (SK) student took 5 subject that is Malay comprehension, written Malay, English, Science and Mathematics. But the Chinese and Tamil school [SJK(C) and SJK(T)] students takes 7 subjects that is Chinese comprehension and written Chinese for the Chinese school students and Tamil comprehension and written Tamil for the Tamil school students.. Next is the Penilaian Menengah Rendah (PMR, formerly known as Sijil Pelajaran Rendah (SRP) taken by the students at the end of Form 3. There are 7 compulsory subjects for all the students. That is Bahasa Malaysia, English, Mathematics, Science, Geography, History and Living Skill. For a Indian and Chinese students take 8 subjects in PMR. The Indian students add Tamil subject and the Chinese students add Chinese subject. Based on the PMR result, the students will be streamed into either the Science stream or Arts stream. Otherwise, at the end of Form 5, students will sit for the Sijil Pelajaran Malaysia (SPM) or Malaysian Certificate of Education examination. In this SPM examination the student can take the subject as much as they can, but cannot less than 6-9 subjects. The compulsory subjects are Malay, English, Mathematics, History, Moral,Science Lastly, at the end of upper Form 6, the student will took STPM (Sijil Tinggi Prsekolahan Malaysia) examination which known as Malaysia Higher School Certificate. In STPM examination the students can take minimum 4 subjects or maximum 5 subjects. General studies is the compulsory subject for STPM examination. STPM is generally taken by those desiring to attend public universities in Malaysia, it is internationally recognised and may also be used, though rarely required, to enter private local (IPTA and IPTS universities for undergraduate courses.

    Question 6,
    Yes. In my view I can make test and assessment be fun so that the students will fall in love with the subject.There are many ways to test and assess student’s talent or academic level. For an example group activities is a best way that I’ll fest and assess the students. First activity is focus on group discussion. When students formed in a group, they will communicate with each other. Students will be more active when they sharing theirs ideas with their friend .Teacher also will be a good friend to students by sharing ideas. By doing so, students gain more knowledge in particular subject. Another thing is,doing presentation,role play also one of the best way to test and assess the students with fun.It’s can help the teachers to know well their students understanding in their subject and also help to improve their teaching skills to more effective.

    1. The functional view of testing and evaluation are to test and assess the student’s level of learning in their studies. The students are tested and assessed to identify the limit of observing the knowledge and answering back when being asked in class or in exam. The outcome of the students in a subjects shows that students learning in the classroom.
    b) The structural view of testing and evaluation are like using paper work in school. Like example UPSR test given to the students for the primary school student’s end of the year, PMR test for the lower primary students when they are in form3, and the SPM is the test given to the form5 students.
    2. Students can be tested and assessed by many ways. It depends on the teacher and their methods of teaching. First of all, exams should be given to test them. As it can give them full understanding of the subject. Then, quizzes; it is to gain extra knowledge by the students. They can also be assessed by projects or assignments to encourage them to work in group.
    3. The aim of the test and assessments is the teacher will know the students can understand or not the subjects though and they will give marks to the students according to their capability by giving the answer. The teacher test and assessment only the teacher can ask various type of question to make the students more understanding about the topic.
    4. Malaysian examination council (MEC) is a statutory body under the ministry of education (MOE). It was establish on 1st February 1980 under Malaysian law and examinations council act 225. MEC was launched on 22 April 1980 by Yang Bahagia Dato’ Musa Hitam (MOE). In 1957, the education ordinance was established.

    5.4 major examinations which is Ujian Pencapaian Sekolah Rendah (UPSR) is the first exam doing by standard 6 students. The Chinese and tamil school student will taken seven subjects, add the Chinese and tamil subject in UPSR.

    Penilaian Menengah Rendah (PMR) also known as Lower Secondary Assessment. PMR is Malaysian public examination taken by form 3 students in both public and private secondary. Their will study from form 1 until form 3, and taken exam in PMR

    Sijil Pelajaran Malaysia (SPM), also known as Malaysian Certificate of Education. SPM is taken by all the form 5 students. If the students are not able to pass the BM subject wouldn’t get the certificate.
    Sijil Tinggi Persekolahan Malaysia (STPM) known as Malaysia Higher School Certificate. This test is the one way to University and straight to degree. If we have more than two principal only will get the place in the university to do degree. if the student are not able to pass in “Pengajian Malaysia” their wouldn’t get government university.
    6. Philosophy in education is taught in different way which is blog. I have never seen this before or from other lecturers. This blog is really useful for students to gain more knowledge about philosophy and it also provides more notes and other student’s opinion. Quizzes and forums are also posted in this blog and we need to answer or post comment in the blog itself. And there is also has chat box to share our opinion among the students. Students have the chances to post comment on class presentation, discussion and more. We can also improve in using blog, which is interesting. I hope all lecturer follow this method to student can share their idea and also understand more about the subject.

It is teacher should well-prepared before start the lesson and used some material to run the class interesting. Diagnostic is the process of the teaching and learning to measure the effectiveness of teaching and evaluate student’s progress. Formative is testing done in particular period in the course taught by teacher to get the feedback from the student how far they understand the particular topic. And summative is at the end of teaching and learning process to summarize the development of the students at a particular time. Are they students able to understand what teachers taught? From the summarize, the test also can be use for diagnostic purpose to identify the students weakness and built on using formative evaluation.

    Q1
    The functional view means the method that teachers are teaching student which make the students easily catch up the studies well. For example, doing role play, having presentation and group discussion in class will make the students fun and remember what they had studies. This will give more effective result of the student achievement.
    The structural view means that the material using by a teacher are just exactly in the textbook. For example, 2 x 2 = 4… no other ideas such as explain why 2 x 2 is 4… the method in structural view is “copy cat” just copy from the textbook and teach the students. And its will make the students more confused and bored of the subject.

    Q2
    The ways that the students can be tested and assessed:
    Students can be tested and assessed when they are doing presentation, having group discussion, individual assignment and also research.
    Doing presentation will show how confidences are the students when they are doing presentation in front of their classmate and teachers. The confidence of student is very important for a student who is ant to achieve in their studies and also life.
    Having group discussion will show how cooperative the students are. Cooperating in a group is important to succeed a program. So as future educators, doctors, lawyers and so on, they must involve them in group discussion. From here, we can test them and assess them well.
    Individual assignment will show how talented are the students when they done a individual assignment with successful. Here, we can evaluate every single talent which had in a student. Its easy to identify the students IQ.
    Lastly, doing research will make the students work hard to get information of an issue. Here, students will start to search in book, newspaper, will step into library and survey in internet. There innovative will appear here to assess by a teacher about their students.

    Q3
    Aim of tests and assessments are for identify the students are understand or not what they had taught by the teachers in class. And the test and assessment will make the students realize their talent and IQ level to improve it more and more. To evaluate students IQ levels which teacher will have some test such as midterm exam, presentation, quiz and so on. These kinds of tests are will make the students to improving their IQ level and get good result in their exams.

Students are being tested and assessed because the government wants to know the students achievement of gaining knowledge and to develop a quality education system which will realize the full potential of the individual .
    b) he structural view is an organization chart created by the government; Ministry of Education. (MOE)The ministry will test and assess the students according to the student’s age and grade. In Malaysia the first stage of the exam/test is UPSR, for primary level which is for standard 6 students. Secondly, PMR for lower level student in secondary school which are for form 3 students. Thirdly, SPM for student in secondary school to which are for form 5 students. Lastly the toughest exam in school level is the STPM test. This test is for the form 6 students which determine whether the student is qualified to enter University.

    4.. Exam unit was formed on 3 Mei 1956. On 1957, it was renamed Malaysian Examination Syndicate (MES).The Exam Unit in 1957 have be changes because want to have a better education system in Malaysia amongst all the races.
    5. There are four types of national types examinations. The primary stage students need to sit primary schools test and assessment UPSR (ujian penilaian sekolah rendah) the students must study for six years from standard 1 to standard 6 and to be seated for this exam. students need to sit for secondary lower level test and assessment PMR (penilaian menengah rendah)which is evaluated in form 3 . Base on the result students will seated to upper level secondary education base on vacation skills and knowledge. At the end of upper level of secondary school education students need to sit for SPM (sijil pelajaran Malaysia)(national education certificate).further more students which take their form six will sit for STPM OR STAM. STPM or STAM is the last major education that compulsory for every individual.
    6.The ways that assessed and tested in your Philosophy in Education class is firstly, The students need to do their own research based on the task given and do group discussion among the group members. It is really challenge for students self to looking and founding some information independently. During the group discussion, the lecturer will ask question to all students in a group. we can more easily answer the questions because we already know a bit about that topic. From this method teaching that madam bring to us, I’m actually really enjoy and have fun to study and automatically can understand more better. As a future educator I need to use the best teaching method to attract the student want to study and make them become more interesting and fun. For this ,As a teacher I must be known to teach in a way that students can feel confident in the class, feel as though they are being challenged and having a good time while still learning the basics such as their whole numbers, grammar. In addition , as a teachers I also wants to be a friend and educator in the classroom. However teachers must be avoid ‘an authoritarian relationship’ at all costs. As a teacher must treat students as a friend and make come to teacher with problems and ask to help. It would be more shared thing through understand students problem and prepared to help.

    1. a) The functional view of testing and evaluation are to test and assess the student’s level of learning in their studies. The levels of teaching can be evaluated by students feedback and the feedback are student achievement in their exam and they will see that the students pay attention in class and understand the subject or not by evaluate goog achievement by students.
    b) Government provide by MOE and MOHE for primary school, secondary school and higher education in primary school.

    2. In school students can be tested and assessed by many ways. It depends on teacher’s methods. First, final exam and mid- exam should be given to test their understanding level of subject. Other than that, quizzes , participation in class, discussion between teacher and student about certain topic and also answering and questioning session. It can provide a good thinking skills which is creative and critical. Student communication skills also can be develop by give them chance to talk and ask question about the subject that they can’t understand.
    3. The aims of test and assessment are to evaluate and improve the school’s achievement of the year to year. Teacher must know students level of understanding the subjects matter. They are assessed to know what their learn about the subject. Moreover, students need to be tested to identify the areas where the students may need to improve and what are the problem in the subject.
    4. Malaysian Examination Council (MEC) established on 1st February 1980 under Malaysian law and examinations council act 225. MEC officially launched on 22 April 1980 by Yang Berbahagia Dato’ Musa Hitam (MOE). The exam unit in 1957 have to changes because want to have a better education system in Malaysia. For example, Razak Report 1956 and Barnes Report 1951.

The Tamil and Chinese student will take seven subjects and malay school student will take 5 subjects. Next is PMR (Penilaian Menengah Rendah). PMR is public examination taken by form 3 students. This exam will determine whether the student are able to go for scincese or act. Third is SPM (Sijil Pelajar Malaysia). SPM is taken by all the 5 students. If student are not able to pass the BM subject couldn’t get the SPM certificate. STPM (Sijil Tinggi Pelajaran Malaysia) is the exam that taken by form 6 students or PRA-U student.
    6. This semester, in philosophy class we bring the research to the class. Lecturer will give question based on research.

    QuesTion 1

    in my point of view, I feel that the functional view is to use information obtained for the purpose of solving problems and making decisions, and disseminate information in the form of oral and written after a study, while the structural view is learning to use power point slides, text books and give the test…

    QuesTion 2

    A few ways were students can be tested and assessed is by having :
    i ) presentation – through presentations students achievement can be seen in terms of understanding & effectiveness in presenting things.
    ii ) assignment – determination, integrity & cooperation of a group of students in the study and pursue a task can be tested by giving the assignment.
    iii) pop quizzes – quizzes may be given to students to test & reflect on their mind or to recall back de lessons tat they have learned on that day or the day before.
    iv) games – trough games, students participation & well understanding can be tested to make learning more effective, fun & not boring.

    QuesTion 3

    Testing is a systematic procedure for measuring changes in behavior. It aims to determine students learning. It can be in a form of observation, written test or oral. Assessment is a process to consider in interpreting the results of measurements aimed to providing information about student’s achievement, learning outcomes, teaching methods & curriculum. Other aims of tests and assessments are,
    - Test plays a role as a catalyst for students, with test students tends to pay attention to the lessons taught by teachers.
    - its also aims as a tool for students to examine the sources of weakness in teaching, where teachers can take actions to helps students to overcome weaknesses in their learning & adjust the methods of learning according to students ability..
    - to get feedback by reviewing the extent to wic educational objectives have been achieved by students in determining the progress & achievement of students through the explanation given by them related to a subject matter.
    - to evaluate the performance, achievements & progress of students on students mastery of a skill that was taught. The assessment will be conducted to the students achievement through the grade either excellent, moderate or fail.

    QuesTion 4

    The exam unit was formed in 3rd May 1956. it was exists on 1st February 1980 by Malaysian Examination Council (MEC). They had made changes in exam unit in 1957 to have a better education system such as Penyata Razak 1956.

    QuesTion 5

    There are 4 different major national examinations in our country which was UPSR, PMR, SPM & STPM. Ujian Penilaian Sekolah Rendah (UPSR) is taken by standard 6 students. This examination covers the studies from standard 4, 5 & 6. Penilaian Menengah Rendah (PMR) is for form 3 students & it covers all the studies topics from form 1, 2 & 3. Next is Sijil Pelajaran Malaysia (SPM) which was for form 5 students. This examination will also covers the chapter that students studied in form 4. lastly is Sijil Tinggi Pelajaran Malaysia or known as STPM, was for students in lower 6 & upper 6.

    QuesTion 6

    in our philosophy class, we are assessed in many ways. Such as doing a presentation, research, having a group discussion & communicate with lecture in the class & through the blog.. this kind of method is a effective way to determine students achievement & skills. Here the students will be more independent & wont feel bored lo learn & attend the class. In future, I will follow this method of teaching by making learning more fun, maybe in a form of games or role plays, I can make the students more interested and get more attention from them...

    thank you..

    Question 3
    The aims of test and assessment are to know wheter the student understand the subject matters or not.This is because if a teacher give a exam or ask a question to a student,if the student knows the answer and able to get full marks,it means the student understand the subject or knowldge.Besides that the aims of test and assessement are to improve their abilitiy in studying and learning.This is because by doing an exams or assessement a student will knows what are they knows and what they dont know.Because not all human are perfect and right.Examples,by getting a wrong in a exam for a time,for sure the next time they will not repeat the same mistake again.In addition to that,the aims of test and assesssement are to know wheter the teaching style or method of a teacher if effective or not.Examples,students get a good marks in an exam forsure the the style and method of teaching is useful and effective.So this test ans assessement can also test the ability in teaching process

    Question 4
    The exam unit was formed on 3 May 1956.After 1957 the exam unit was reformed back to because of some racial issues and the were new changes like Razak Report and Barnes Report.

    Question 5
    There are main four national examination.First are UPSR(Ujian Penilainan Sekolah Rendah).This exam is written by the standard six students for their enrollement in form 1.There are 5 subjects that the students have to sit.For the national type school students SJK(C) and SJK(T),if they failed Bahasa Malaysia,they cannot go for form 1 but they need to attend remove class.The second exams are PMR(Penilaian Menengah Rendah).It is taken by the form 3 students.They are 7 main subjects.This exam will determine the students enrollement for form 4 either science stream or arts streams.The next is SPM(Sijil Pelajaran Malaysia).This is taken by the form 5 students.In SPM students are allowed to choose subjects as maximum 12 subjects depending the students abilities.SPM is important to make sure the students future is guarenteed a good job oppurtinies.In addition to that,the next is STPM(Sijil Tinggi Pelajaran Mlaysia).STPM is optional.Students can choose either want to enroll in private institution that offer STPM or public school that offer STPM.Basically STPM there are several subject that is important and its graded by CPGA pointer.STPM will show way either public univercity or private univercity

    Question 4
    The exam unit formed on 3 Mei 1956. It have be change because to have better education to all the Malaysians. The changes slowly made from at 1957(Razak Report 1957)

    Question 6
    In my philosophy class my lecturer madam Saradha Nair use many different way to tested and assessed the students. One of that is, my lecturer asks us to do research about a topic and ask us to bring the research to the class. Based on the research the lecturer will give some question and ask us form in to our group to discuss the topic that we done the research. Then she will go one by one group and ask them about their discussion. She also corrects the answer if the students answer wrong. Other than that, all students tested and assessed in a blog with forum, give idea and opinion, quiz and student can get marks if they participated in the blog. When I became a educator, I think that I can make tests and assessments more fun. In my class I will farm the students into the groups and ask the students to discuss about the topic that I gave to them. After that I ask them to tell their opinions to the class. I believe that, this will help the students to gain more knowledge from their friends and improve their communication skills. After the student’s discussion I will explain more about the topic that I gave to them. The second way is, I will use colorful power point slide to teach the students. I think this is more effective way and the students will not get bored easily. I also will give break to the students in middle of the class to freshness their mind. Other than that I will also ask question to the students randomly. I will give extra point or presents to the student who answers my question correctly. I believe that the way I teaching will make the students fall in love in this subject and they will do better in their test.

    1 (a) The functional view is a method that teacher used to teach students.There are how the teacher teach their student and the alternative that teacher used. The functional view also about whether the method that teacher used effective or not. Other than that the feedback the teacher get from their students, whether positive feedback or negative feedback. It is also to know that the student understand and not that the teacher teach them.
    (b) The structural view is a planning and strategy that teacher used in teaching process. Its also known as lesson planning. That is about structure in learning process. It is my opinion about structural view.

    2. A few ways students can be test and assessed through quiz, exam, presentation, research and question and answer session. Through quiz and exam, we can evaluate student's knowledge and their level in understanding of students. Through presentation, we can evaluate the student's self confident and how they communicate with other people. Through research, we can evaluate the student's effort to get knowledge and find the answer the question. And lastly, question and answer session. After teaching process, the teacher ask the students individually about what their learn before. That can test them whether they focus or not in class.

    Question 6
    In my Philosophy in Education class,the way we are tested and evalueted are more different than other classes.This is because in this class,our madam are using more creative way to test her student compare to other lecture.In this class,we the students are assigned to do a mini research every week on the class about the topic that are going to be discussed.We have to do the research by our ownselves and the main source of the research are from the Internet.At the class,we were sitted in a group and do the discussion on the topic group according question and we need to answer the question and this is the way she assessed us.By answering her question,we will able to think and there is no "dont know" answer that are expected from us.Besides that,in this class there are a blog in this classes.In this blog,we can download notes,share our opinions,ideas,thoughts and even chit chatting.With this blog,the people who are "diam-diam syndrome" can be actifly participate in this blog.When I became an educator,I will test and assessed my students by asking them to do presentation on the topic given.By doing presentation the students will understand more about the subject matter and will be more knowldgeable.By doing presentation also,the communicating skills and presentating skills can be increased.They will became more confidence and brave to speak.Besides that,I will assessed my students by doing the same way our Madam assessed us in the class.I will create a blog for my student so that they will keep connected with me although they are not in the class.Besides that,I will assessed my students by having roleplay or acting.I think roleplay will sure impact because they need to live up the charachter.Examples,for History subject,they can do a roleplay on the certain topics.I think I can make the test and assessement fun because its depends on the educators ability to make sure the assement fun.I will maybe allowed my students to listen to some songs or music during the test or examination.I will allow my students to bring Ipod or Mp3 devices during the examination.This will relax their minds and souls.Besides that,I will the make sure the test to be no more on writting ways like examination but more to acting,roleplay,presentation and more on.Because doing an writting examination will bored the students and give burden to the student to understand the subject.

    Philosophy in education class is an interesting and enjoyable class. The way of asking students do research regarding the lesson that going to be discuss in class, students able to be independent to get knowledge without depending to others.

    6. In Philosophy in Education class, we are tested and assessed by the research , quiz, doing presentation, forum and exam. Through presentation, the lecturer give me the ways how to presentation. But we must do the presentation with new and fresh idea. The lecturer allowed creativity and somethings unique. So it is can make me build up our self confident and show our talent. The lecturer wand me do the research and find information by own self. So, we can more understand about it because research make us learn more. Then, in class we gather information. The lecturer still guide us and explain the best answer that we are find. The lecturer make us fell relax and free from pressure. We are allowed to give any suggestion or idea to make class better.
    ~ When i am educator i will follow the style and method of my lecturer philosophy used. I thinks that is the best method that i can used to tests and assessed my students. I want the students do research and find answer for my question in any source. Then in class, we are discuss that question and give them the best answers. Other than that, i want they do presentation. That can give their develops their potential and talent. It is also can building their self confident and teach them how to communicate with others people. Presentation including in role play. So the students can acting but at the same time they learn something.
    ~ Yes.I think i can make tests and assessments fun. It is because i open a new and unique idea in test and assessments. Example in presentation, i allowing a group or individually to presents with their creativity and use the unique alternative. I encourage them to use modern or latest alternative such as slide show and projector. Its also make them fun. I also want my students feel relax and not pressure them.
