Episode: Consider This: Classroom-Based Assessments — From Exams to Evaluations
Description: In 2021, the UPSR exam and Form Three Assessment (PT3) were discontinued to move away from standardised testing in favour of classroom-based assessments or Pentaksiran Bilik Darjah (PBD). Despite this transition, some parents and educators have expressed apprehension over the effectiveness of PBD. How successful has the implementation of classroom-based assessments been, and what areas might require improvement to address parental concerns? On this episode of #ConsiderThis Melisa Idris speaks to Dr Zuwati Hasim, Senior Lecturer at Universiti Malaya’s Faculty of Education, and Cheryl Fernando, CEO of Pemimpin GSL Malaysia.
