1. What is SBA
Answer :
SBA is a holistic form of assessment which assesses the cognitive, affective and
psychomotor domains encompassing intellectual, emotional, spiritual and physical
aspects. Thus SBA is in tandem with the Primary School Standard Curriculum as well as
the National Education Philosophy.
SBA covers both academic and non-academic fields.
SBA is carried out continuously in schools by teachers during the teaching and learning
process.
There are 4 components in the PBS:
(i) Central Assessment
(ii) School Assessment
(iii) Assessment of Sports and Co-curricular activities
(iv) Psychometric Assessment
2. Is the SBA concept new?Answer :
No, the SBA concept is not new. Homework, quizzes, question and answer sessions are
all examples of SBA activities. However, there are two new features in the improved
SBA. Firstly the concept of Standard Referenced Assessment in which learners
achievements are measured against a Performance Standard which determines what
learners are expected to achieve. Secondly is the introduction of SPPBS or SBA
Management System which will make it easier for teachers to record and store data
concerning learners achievement?
3. Why is SBA being introduced now?
Answer:
PBS is being introduced as part of the National Transformation Program to produce
worldclass
human capital.
4. When will PBS be implemented?
Answer :
PBS began in Year One 2011 and will result in the refurbished UPSR in 2016. PBS will
be carried out in Form One from 2012 and PMR beginning 2014 will be entirely schoolbased. 5.What is the difference between PBS and the present assessment?
Answer :
PBS is more holistic and emphasizes all aspects including physical, emotional, spiritual
and intellectual. The present assessment focuses on learners achievement through
examination results. PBS assesses both the learning outcome as well as the learning
process. Therefore both formative and summative assessment which encompass
assessment for learning and assessment of learning are employed. Presently the focus
is mainly on assessment of learning at the end of the learning process which is largely
summative in nature.
In an effort to make the present assessment better, Standard Referenced Assessment is
introduced to track the growth and development of each pupil through his/her
performance. In the process it is possible to find out what each pupil know (tahu),
understand (faham) and can apply (boleh buat) or have mastered what has been learnt
based on the Performance Standards which is mapped from the Standard Curriculum.
Furthermore, Standard Referenced Assessment does not compare a pupils
achievement with his/her peers instead it reports each pupils growth and development
Feedback based on the Performance Standards can help students identify his/her strength
and weaknesses, common errors made and areas that need more attention as well as steps
to take in order to improve.
Constructive and meaningful feedback can help pupils focus on their learning progress.
Hence pupils will be more motivated to work harder and perform better in the future.
2. What are the efforts taken by the government to overcome challenges face by
teachers in implementing SBA?
to be carried out.
Provide more resources, such as manpower, since SBA necessitates
the teaching of small classes in order for it to be effective and
beneficial to students
E.g. : Provide teaching materials, internet access
access, quality, equity, unity and frequency
make online learning and blended learning a part of the teaching and
learning process.
As for basic education, we have
