Abstract

International Teaching Practicum (ITP) is a platform that provides experiences and opportunities for pre-service teachers to grow both personally and professionally in the teaching profession. This study reported the outcomes of an eighth-week ITP Program in Brunei and Indonesian’s schools for Malaysian undergraduate secondary pre-service teachers in four aspects; namely: (1) teaching strategy in science education; (2) communication skills and confidence in teaching science; (3) perspective in science education and culture; and (4) interpersonal skills in teaching science. All of the pre-service teachers shared their experiences in their weekly reflective journals and the data from the structured interviews during ITP. The findings indicated that the pre-service teachers were more creative and innovative in applying various approaches in teaching science as they must improvise the learning resources to suit the teaching context. The pre-service teachers were found to be more confident, and they experienced substantial development in their communication skills. Their views on education and culture of science also have shifted, and these attributes also have enhanced their interpersonal skills that provide opportunities for more networking and linkages with the host schools. The implication of these findings is believed to link to their belief in enhancing their professional experiences that contribute to the science teaching profession.

Abstract

The current standards of assessment are demanding for high level of precision with less time-consuming and personalized opportunities, thus restrict the function of Paper and Pencil Test which has dominated the assessment field for a very long time. The Computerized Adaptive Testing (CAT) is viewed as an alternative testing tool to Paper and Pencil Test as it has adaptive feature which enables it to meet the current standards of assessment. This research is focusing on the evaluation of students’ ability in Grade 8 Science Trend in International Mathematics and Science Study (TIMSS) using Computerized Adaptive Testing (CAT) as an alternative instrument to Paper and Pencil Test to investigate whether the implementation of CAT can produce high level of precision with fewer items administered as well as differentiate different academic level among groups of students. CAT was configured in Concerto and was administered on Form 2 and Form 4 students selected through purposive sampling method from secondary schools in northern part of Malaysia. Students’ performance was analysed and compared in terms of score (theta value), SEM value and their response toward the items selected in CAT using SPSS. Finding shows that the administration of 20 objective items in fixed length CAT produced SEM ≤0.50 indicated that the implemented CAT increased the efficiency of assessment with fewer item administration. The t test showed that there was a significance difference between the two groups’ scores in CAT in which Form 4 students had higher ability level than Form 2 students proving that CAT’s configuration had been done correctly in Concerto and the test was more suitable in challenging Form 2 students’ Science knowledge thus the instrument fulfilled the known-group validity.
