Chemistry & C S (Chemistry)
SBA Teachers’ Conference
(20 Oct 2018)
1
-
Supervisors’ Remarks
Chemistry : 13214 students (430 schools) submitted SBA marks
CS(Chem) : 743 students (59 schools) submitted SBA marks
Moderation (statistical methods and professional judgment)
Chemistry :53.5% of schools within expected range
31.6% of schools higher than expected 14.9% of schools lower
than expected
CS(Chem) : 64.4% of schools within expected range 18.7% of
schools higher than expected 16.9% of schools lower than
expected
For those higher or lower than expected, majority only deviate
slightly from expected range
2
-
General Remarks on SBA (1 of 2) Type of Assessment Tasks:
V.A. – for training and assessing basic skills for volumetric
analysis
Q.A. – for training and assessing of thinking skills, simple
tests on cations, and/or anions (minimum requirement) Note:
Scope and depth of Q.A. need not be similar to those of the AL
Chemistry Practical Examination.
Should NOT include experiments like “identification of
functional groups of some organic compounds”
EXPT - similar to those suggested in the Curriculum and
Assessment Guide, For ‘Chemistry’, they should be other than V.A.
and Q.A. For ‘CS(Chem)’, they should be other than V.A.
3
-
General Remarks on SBA (2 of 2)
• Products:
• Worksheet, quiz and brief / detailed laboratory report, etc.
are all acceptable.
• Writing detailed laboratory reports is definitely a good
training.
• Feedbacks to students - for facilitating students’
improvement. Students should be encouraged to reflect on / discuss
with teachers to understand their own strengths and areas for
improvement.
4
-
Assessment
Students’ Written Works (Reports, worksheets, quizzes)
Basic requirement of SBA
Performance in Carrying Out Experiments
Optional, recommended if deemed appropriate
The related marks should be indicated clearly on the submitted
students’ works samples
Students’ Attitude Should NOT be assessed in SBA
5
-
More on Assessment • Some observations for deliberations:
• Narrow mark distribution within a class
• Some extreme cases, most students got very high marks / most
students got very low marks
• Recommendations:
• Use marking guidelines / marking schemes
• Teachers may modify the task requirements / worksheet items
according to the general abilities of the students in a class, for
example,
• add some challenging items for classes of more able students,
or
• introduce some straight forward items for classes of less able
/ less motivated students 6
-
Still on Assessment • Teachers can use worksheets from textbooks
or
tasks provided by publishers, but
• ensure the students cannot obtain the standard/reference
answers before the SBA assessment
• modify the standard worksheets
• use other means to enhance validity and reliability
• Teachers can use quizzes (“SBA Quiz”), but the assessment
items should closely related to a performed experiment.
7
-
Still More on Assessment • Marks vs Grades
• Marks (10,9,8, … 1) Preferred / Recommended
• Grades (A, B, C, … Acceptable (need to have a mark-grade
conversion tables)
• For schools with more than one chemistry classes:
• Teachers should perform school-based standardization, to
standardize the SBA tasks and marking standards.
• Students in a school should be assessed on tasks of similar
nature, complexity and required
8skills.
-
Remarks on Experiment List (1/2) • Please use the template
provided
• Teachers may use their own format, but please include
sufficient amount of details for communication
• Include all the experiments performed, not only those
assessed.
9
-
Remarks on Experiment List (2/2)
• Avoid
• Late submissions
• Incomplete list e.g. only titles of assessed experiments
• Include all experiments performed in the list
• Uninformative experiment titles
• E.g. QA01, VA01, EXPT05
10
-
Remarks on Scanned Reports • Avoid
• Missing reports
• Missing pages in the scanned PDF file, e.g. all even pages
were missing
• Only students’ answers on the worksheet, without details of
experiments
• Advise your students to avoid
• faint handwritings – e.g. pencils / light-green pens

Over the two years of S5 and S6, there should be at least one
mark for Volumetric Analysis (VA), one mark for Qualitative
Analysis (QA) and two marks for Other Experiments (EXPT).
Investigative Study (IS) can be done in lieu of Other
