The UPSR Science paper consists of 2 sections, A and B.
Section A consisting of 30 multiple choice questions test students of their scientific facts and concepts that they learnt from Year 4 to 6. Students are required to memorise and understand these facts and concepts so as to be able to answer the questions in this section successfully. We can say that questions in this section are recall questions whereby students just recall the necessary scientific fact/concept to answer those questions. Nevertheless, although they are basically multiple choice questions, they are presented to the candidates in quite a number of ways (10 to be exact!) by which each of these has different level of difficulty. This is based on the Bloom's Taxanomy. The basis for the assessment in this section is the 5 themes in the science syllabus.
In contrast with Section A, Section B is a totally different kind of assessment. This section requires students to use their thinking skills to produce the most appropriate answer. Information and data are readily given in the question and students have to analyse these to come out with the best answer. The basis for the assessment in this section is the Science Process Skills which I've listed in my earlier post.
So, as you can see Section A requires students to give the information needed while Section B requires students to use/analyse the information given and then come out with the best answer for the question asked.
WELCOME TO MY BLOG...
Hi there! Thank you for taking the time to drop by... I hope your visit here would a fruitful one and that you have found what you're looking for. This blog was created especially for primary school teachers and pupils in an effort to help them in their pursuit towards excellence in the Science subject with the UPSR exam as the final destination. It is also meant for parents whom I hope might find some of the information here useful to help your children to do well in the subject. Nevertheless, if what you're looking for is not here, please be free to post me a note and I'll try to make up whatever necessary to meet your expectations. Have a nice day.....!
ABOUT MYSELF
I received my Diploma in Mathematics/Physics with Education from Universiti Teknologi Malaysia and then my Degree in Education (Science) with Honours from Open University of Malaysia.
I have been in the teaching profession since 1982 and had since taught in a number of secondary schools before being promoted as the headmistress of a primary school in 1992. Since then, I have been the head of three primary schools.
I have been appointed as the Central Master Trainer to train primary school teachers when Science was first introduced in the primary school level. Since then, I have been quite active in the development of Teaching and Learning of Science at the National, State and District levels. I have also often been invited to give talks to schools to assist UPSR candidates in enhancing their understanding in the Science Process Skills involving the Section B part of the UPSR exam paper.
Being chosen as one of the seven Malaysian delegates to visit Indonesian schools to study a special twinning programme between the Indonesian and Germany Education Ministry had been one of the higlights in my teaching career.
