Session 5 – 26th August 2011
This was session 5 with Dr Yeap. We did some interesting activities and I was just thinking, kids these days really have to encounter tricky math problems! I struggle to do primary school math… ha-ha…! But overall, I enjoyed the sessions and discussing the questions and going through the activities with my fellow group mates. We learnt that there are assessment tasks types of questions given to kids. I learnt about Bloom’s taxonomy which describes cognitive processes and also describes the levels. And in math there are 3 levels of Bloom’s taxonomy used: 3 levels of 6 levels. When examiners set an assessment tasks, they set questions based on knowledge level, comprehension level (inferential) & Application levels.
Assessment task: Jerome Brumer- Repeated opportunity to encounter idea, without REPITITION. J
In Singapore, they use the spiral approach where you get to encounter topics again and again but each time children will get to revisit the topic again at a higher level. Hopefully, they can master basic ideas and then they can proceed more into depth in the topic.
It was an interesting week and I managed to collect 4 pegs J
