English Language: It's a shameful trend2010/05/19

THE majority of pupils are generally poor in English but this should not be exacerbated by taking a lackadaisical approach when setting exam papers.
We have often seen glaring language errors in exam papers in the past -- both in English and Bahasa Malaysia -- at all levels. Unless this is tackled, we will make students more confused, and our education process a sham.
The exam process is in itself a learning process. A badly written exam paper reflects on the quality of our education.
The Science Paper (018) in the recent Ujian Pengesanan Pencapaian Sekolah Rendah Negeri Pahang is one example where those who set exam papers did not ensure that the questions prepared were in proper English.
The questions apparently confused many pupils sitting the exam.
Some of the questions taken from the exam paper are listed below:
- "The diagram shows three animals which have the difference way to survive of their species."
- "What is inference based on this investigation?"
- "Give observation to support the inference in (a)"
- "Predict what animal Q do if enemies disturb their eggs?"
- "What conclusion can be make from this investigation?"
- "They notes their investigation below. (Mereka mencatat penyiasatan seperti di bawah)"
- "One week life spent (Satu minggu jangkahayat)"
- "Tree days life spent (Tiga hari jangka hayat)"
- "What is observation from this investigation?"
- "Predict the distance of the ping pong balls move which on carpet surface."
- "The diagram shows the relationship between a distance of ball from the torch and the size of the shadow."
When there are errors in exam papers, the value is questionable.
Language teachers are emphasising correct language structures when teaching and the onus is on the school or Education Department to ensure that all question papers are written in proper English or Bahasa Malaysia.
Having an apathetic attitude towards this issue will not only confuse pupils but also affect the learning process and the quality of education.
Unfortunately, this laid-back attitude has crept into the education process at all levels. This, seemingly, can now be observed from primary to the tertiary level of the education process.
When we stress on quality education, we should equally stress on excellence when preparing exam papers. This is essentially taught in training modules for all teachers and is, at all times, emphasised in the education process in developed countries.
Browsing through any exam paper prepared by schools and colleges in developed countries will show how proper exam papers are set, specifically the language used. Many of these exam papers are compiled and sold to the public and can also be found on the Internet.

pentaksihan @ pentaksiran?
Majlis Guru Besar
kalau tgk pada muka depan soalan, ada tlis MGB negeri pahang.
dulu, JPNP ( jabatan pelajaran negeri) yg handle.
ini MGB....
so, MGB ni lebih kepada nak cari profit jual itu ini kpd sekolah utk menampung kos tertentu ...
aku pun tatau sangat. pernah dengar ini pada tutor yg datang ajar anak aku dirumah. Kalau tgk soalan BI pun, banyak kesilapan dari segi TEKNIKAL / Layout soalan.... |

ya allah
nak jaga kualiti soalan takkan u know tak ada satu mesyuarat gang gang cikgu panitia kaa apa kaa untuk read proof, nilai balik soalan tu high standard ke tak or soalan tu ikut Bloom taxonomy tu high standard ke tak .....
tengok dari aspek grammar ( in Malay / English) , kebolehfahaman pelajar terhadap soalan, masa , u know all that sorts...kalau buat cam tu barulah soalan of the highest qualit and standards
tu lah pentaksihan |

last week adik aku bawak balik english test paper.ada satu soalan 'the football match kick off at 9:00 am'
what best replace 'kick off'? adik aku jawab start tapi cikgu X sbb katanya end. sangap nyer teacher. bermati2 aku suruh adik aku jumpa teacher & challenge her. bukan sbb hilang markah tapi tak mau budak tu carry the mistake sampai besar. Akhirnya betul the answer is start.  |
