| Study of Using Assessment Data to Enhance Learning and Teaching (English Language Education) Phase I — Analyzing Multiple Choice Items in the 2008 TSA Reading papers for Primary 3, Primary 6 and Secondary 3 |
This document reports an analysis into a set of 2008 Territory-wide System Assessment (TSA) reading papers, students' performances and the facility indices. The objective of this work is to identify students’ learning problems, and the dimensions in which weaknesses in students’ performance are manifest. It is hoped the identification of these learning problems will lead to reliable and accurate estimates of possible causes of prospective students’ learning problems, resulting in the development of some school-based diagnostic assessment tools, the outcomes of which will inform future teaching and learning. |
