TEACHERS TO LEARN MORE ABOUT INTERNAL ASSESSMENT

***

A SERIES OF SEMINARS ON INTERNAL ASSESSMENT IN PRIMARY SCHOOLS WILL BE HELD BETWEEN SEPTEMBER AND NOVEMBER FOR IN-SERVICE TEACHERS, ESPECIALLY THOSE TEACHING CHINESE, ENGLISH AND MATHEMATICS IN PRIMARY 5 AND 6.

THE AIM OF THE SEMINAR IS TO ACQUAINT PARTICIPANTS WITH MODERN CONCEPTS OF ASSESSMENTS AND TESTING, AND TO PROVIDE PRACTICAL SUGGESTIONS IN QUESTIONING TECHNIQUES, CONTENTS OF QUESTION PAPERS, MARKING SCHEMES, AND THE WEIGHTINGS OF DIFFERENT SUBJECT COMPONENTS.

CONTENTS OF THE SEMINARS WILL INCLUDE TALKS ON INTERNAL ASSESSMENTS AND THE ACADEMIC APTITUDE TEST IN CONNECTION WITH THE SECONDARY SCHOOL PLACES ALLOCATION SCHEME.

TALKS AND DISCUSSIONS WILL BE CONDUCTED BY INSPECTORS OF CHINESE, ENGLISH AND MATHEMATICS OF THE EDUCATION DEPARTMENT'S ADVISORY INSPECTORATE.

THESE SEMINARS WILL BE HELD IN SIX DIFFERENT CENTRES IN HONG KONG, KOWLOON AND THE NEW TERRITORIES,

SINCE SIMILAR SEMINARS HELD LAST YEAR WERE GREATLY OVER SUBSCRIBED, HEADS OF SCHOOLS ARE ADVISED NOT TO RECOMMEND TEACHERS WHO HAD PREVIOUSLY PARTICIPATED IN SUCH MEETINGS.

APPLICATIONS SHOULD BE MADE ON OR BEFORE JULY 14 TO THE SENIOR EDUCATION OFFICER, SECONDARY SCHOOL PLACES ALLOCATION SECTION, EDUCATION DEPARTMENT, LEE GARDENS, FIFTH FLOOR, HYSAN AVENUE, HONG KONG.

SUCCESSFUL APPLICANTS WILL BE INFORMED IN EARLY SEPTEMBER.

ENQUIRIES MAY BE MADE AT THE SECONDARY SCHOOL PLACES ALLOCATION SECTION BY TELEPHONING 5-7904679.
