SYSTEMIC ASSESSMENT AS A VEHICLE TO ASSESS STUDENT

ACHEIVEMENTS IN CHEMISTRY

-Systemic Assessment [SA] has been shown to be highly effective new vehicle in;-Raising the level of students academic achievements.-Increasing equity of students learning outcomes. -Improving students’ ability to learn by enhancing the process of teaching and learning. -Involving the student as an active candidate in this process.

INTRODUCTION

Why Systemic Assessment (SA) ?

]1[ It measures the cognitive structure from the cumulative (quantitative) to the interactive

and tuned (qualitative). ]2[ Assess students higher-order thinking skills in

which students are required to analyze , synthesize, and evaluate .

[3] Measures the students’ ability to correlate between concepts.

[4] Enables the students to discover new relation between concepts.

]5[ Assess the students in a wide range of Concepts in the course unites .

]6 [ Measures the systemic ILO,s, beside separate Linear ILO,s.

[7 ] Develop the ability to think systemically , critically and creatively, and Solve problems.

]8 [ Being objective, realistic and valid.

[9 ] Very easily scored.

Goal of Systemic Assessment:

-The main Goal of SA is to enhance, support and improve both teaching and learning processes via:

[1] Enable students to make feedback and feed forward during their study of any course materials.

[2]Help students in making maximum connections between Chemistry concepts, compounds,

and reactions.[3 ]Enable students to achieve the highest standards

they able.]4 [Help teachers to use evidence of student learning

to assess student achievement against goals and standards of the courses and programs.

Types Systemic Assessment Questions: [SAQ,s]

1- Systemic Multiple Choice Questions [SMCQ,s].

2-Systemic True, False Questions [STFQ,s] .

3-Systemic Matching Questions [SMQ,s].

4-Systemic Sequencing Questions [SSQ,s].

5-Systemic Synthesis Questions [SSynQ,s].

6- Systemic Analysis Questions [SAnQ,s].

Type-1: Systemic Multiple Choice Questions (SMCQs)

MCQs are the traditional choose one from a list of

possible answers. However (SMCQs) are choose

of one systemic from a list of possible systemics.

Each systemic represents at least three chemical

relations.

Form (I): Choose From Triangular Systemics:
