Salam.
Now in the examination there are structured questions and they demand structured answers.
Advantages: the students can focus easily the answer/ easy for any teacher to mark it
Disadvantages: it does not allow free flow of ideas like geography GCE "O" levels.
It does not allow creativity and originality.
From my experience marking this type of answers , i found out that spelling errors caused a big loss in marks because it cretaes many distortion like pornography is spelt 'pronography'. Oops .. i did not know this new word. Any body can help me plz ?
Too general answer.. it creates shallow type of understanding in any subject area that we wanted to test the students on. For example: camera TV can protect one's property. Discuss 2 areas on these. From 100 answer scripts it seems that most of the students memorize certain standard answer and it is hard to find out any novelty. Thus this style of question can kill many inventions and free entrepreneurship among the new generation. They are not trained to think so deeply at the age of 12 to 20 by having this type of questions. No wonder it is hard to get our own product in the market. It is mostly imported and branded goods that youngters are chasing out there. Right?
TQ. wasallam.
