DEVELOPMENT OF INSTRUMENT TO ASSESS STUDENT’S SCIENTIFIC CAPACITY FOR TEACHING TOPIC “THE EARTH AND SKY THEME”, SUBJECT NATURAL AND SOCIAL - GRADE 3

Abstract

The article is based on assessment theory, mainly the theory of Robert Glaser, proposing the process of capacity assessment, designing a scientific competency framework in teaching Nature and Society subjects in primary school, which includes 10 criteria, and each criterion consists of 3 levels. From analyzing the requirements of the topic “Earth and Sky” in the subject of Nature and Society, the research has proposed 6 principles, thereby building a 5-step process to design a set of assessment tools. The assessment, based on student achievement requirements, includes 30 questions and exercises, 10 checklists, 2 rating scales, 3 evaluation sheets according to criteria, and learning record samples. The toolkit, after testing on 34 primary school teachers, has been standardized and developed guidelines for use in assessing students in primary schools.
