Title: | Developing the 'standardized test of achievement in science for Fiji' (STAF) | Contributor(s): | Taylor, Neil (author) ; Macpherson, Colin (author) | Publication Date: | 1992 | Handle Link: | https://hdl.handle.net/1959.11/23103 | Abstract: | As in many educational systems many teachers in Fiji see student tests mainly as selection devices. This is understandable given the recent history of testing in that country. However, an enlightened Ministry recently revived the use of a battery of achievement tests fir class 6 students, and commissioned the development of a parallel-form primary science test for inclusion in the battery. This was done, partly, to show teachers how such tests can be used at the classroom level to improve the teaching-learning process. This paper discusses the development of the science test in the context of pilot trial results. | Publication Type: | Journal Article | Source of Publication: | Journal of Science and Mathematics Education in Southeast Asia, 15(1), p. 19-30 | Publisher: | Southeast Asian Ministers of Education Organisation, Regional Centre for Education in Science and Mathematics | Place of Publication: | Malaysia | ISSN: | 0126-7663 | Fields of Research (FoR) 2008: | 130303 Education Assessment and Evaluation 130105 Primary Education (excl.
