Forth Day Reflection

Today, we were introduced with the topic "Modifying LE Instruments". There are many type of Assessment Instrument available to cater each type of measurement. WIHIC is one of the assessment use for classroom LE. As to whether to modify the Assessment Instruments, the question need to ask is;

1) Why modify?

2) How to modify?

As to "Why Modify", we have to consider the "Why use this assessment instrument?". We also have to consider of avoiding re-inventing the wheel as there are many instrument avaliable to cater to each one assessment needs. The other are is the context and the target group.

"How to Modify". We have to examine the statement that they are suitable. Any change should be done on the context for the target groups.

We then proceed with the Group case study. Our group was given Case Study A of School LE. This school had a principal who believe in working hard and school discipline. However he did improve the school LE with brightly colored table for creative learning and IT infusion. He also provides strong support and leadership to his staff. This resulted in the Value-added school award given to the school.

The non-conducive portion was the distraction from many initiatives he had introduced and insufficient learning space.

My other opinion is regarding the treacher workload and work-life stress level. With so many programs and high expectation (from principal and parents), the teacher can easily "burn-out".

Whether I will send my child to this school will depends whether it match my child need. If my child is on the lower academic region, then I believe my child will benefit from the school program.

The class done the WIHIC this afternoon on this module Learning Environment. After each of the group had completed the survey, I helped Kumar to consolidate the group result. We then gather the rest of the group result and consolidate the whole class survey result. Tomorrow the group will be writing the Survey assessment report of this module LE.

Btw how is my improved blogger look?
