  • 79. Q & A

Hinweis der Redaktion

  1. We would like to share on the topic of Subject-based Banding, which was announced in September last year, and will be implemented in all Singapore schools for Primary 5 in 2008. I will give you the broad overview, followed by some details which are specific to our school.
  2. What does Subject-based Banding mean for your child? Every child will be encouraged to do the subjects at the level that best meet his abilities. If your child is doing well in all subjects, he will take these subjects at the standard level. If your child is good at some subjects but very weak in others, he will be able to take a mix of standard and foundation subjects. This will help stretch and develop your child further in his strong subjects. It will also allow your child to proceed at a pace he can manage for his weaker subjects. For those of you who are familiar with the previous method of streaming, what this means is that Subject-based Banding will replace the merged and EM3 streams from next year’s Primary 5 cohort, i.e. your child’s cohort. This system is more flexible than the merged and EM3 streams – it allows pupils to take a mix of standard or foundation subjects, depending on the pupils’ abilities. No child would be worse off with Subject-based Banding.
  3. We recognise that pupils have varying strengths in different subjects. Not everyone is good at every subject, or weak in every subject. To provide more flexibility for pupils to develop their strengths, Subject-based Banding is therefore introduced. Another aim of Subject-based Banding is to encourage greater interaction among pupils with different strengths and abilities. Pupils do not have to attend all lessons with the same classmates, but have the opportunity to interact with other pupils and learn from each other.
  4. Our Minister for Education shared in 2006 that “we recognise different ……..”
  5. The Primary 4 examinations will continue to be school-based. The Primary 4 examinations will tell us your child’s academic ability in the various subjects and the school will recommend a subject combination based on the results. Instead of recommending a child to EM3, or merged stream, we will now recommend a combination that is most suited for your child. So for example, we may recommend that the child will do Foundation English, Foundation Science, Foundation Mathematics and Standard Mother Tongue. This remains our recommendation. You will make the final decision on what your child will take in Primary 5. The school will monitor your child’s performance in Primary 5, and decide at the end of the year what combination best suits your child. Parents who are familiar with the previous streaming exercise will notice that the process is exactly similar to the current one.
  6. Now let’s look at how we will recommend the option for your child at the end of Primary 4. Besides the Primary 4 examination results, we will also take into consideration your child’s performance in a subject from past assessments such as (….), as well as comments and observations by your child’s teachers. What is the school likely to recommend for your child? If your child passes all 4 subjects at the end of Primary 4 and performs very well in Mother Tongue Language, he will be recommended to take 4 standard subjects and Higher Mother Tongue Language. (according to the text in the table).
  7. If your child passes all 4 subjects at the end of Primary 4, he will be recommended to take 4 standard subjects. (according to the text in the table)
  8. If your child passes 3 subjects at the end of Primary 4, he will also be recommended to take 4 standard subjects. (according to the text in the table)
  9. If your child passes 2 subjects… (as per the 4 scenarios, pls read from slides). Our recommendations will be based on how well the child has fared in the subjects. We want to be able to give the child a combination he can cope with and do well in the next year.
  10. Now that we have looked at the possible subject combinations, let’s move on to see what will happen at the end of Primary 5. At the end of Primary 5, the school will determine what is best for your child, based on our professional judgement. If a pupil who takes 1 or more foundation subjects does very well in them, the school may decide that he can upgrade his strong subjects to the standard level in Primary 6. Otherwise, the pupil would continue with the same subject combination.
  11. If a pupil who takes 4 standard subjects shows difficulty coping, at the end of Primary 5, the school may decide that it would be better for him to take 1 or more subjects at foundation level in Primary 6.
  12. All other pupils will continue the same subject combination in Primary 6.
  13. In summary, your child will take a subject determined by the school at Primary 6, based on our professional judgement of what would be best for your child. At the end of P6, your child will sit for the PSLE. For your child’s cohort, all subjects are examinable except Foundation Science. Examinable Foundation Science will only be offered one year later as we need to review the Foundation Science syllabus to make it examinable, as it is not currently designed as an examinable subject.
  14. Under Academic Programme, we have several programmes. We have the school supplementary lesson which is conducted twice a week for an hour from 10.15 am – 12.00pm. One hour is for EMS and 45 minutes is for MT. Your child have 3 subject teachers to teach EMS, but do be assured that all the 3 subject teachers take turns to conduct supplementary lessons as well as remedial lesson. We provide remedials for pupils who are weak in their studies or cannot follow certain concept. Also there is the tuition programme from self-help group like mendaki, CDAC and Sinda. If you need any of these assistance, you can come to me and we can help you with it. Lastly, these are the list of 8 activities that we are having in Primary 5. During this activities, we integrate different subjects together so as to enable the child to learn more.

  16. We hope to develop a partnership with you in helping your child. We need your support and also to work closely with the staff for the benefit of your child. To help your child succeed, kindly encourage then to do all homework in a quiet environment. Also ensure that they attend supplementary and remedial lessons regularly and punctually.
  17. All the above mentioned is ultimately to prepare your child for PSLE. After your child sat for the PSLE, these are the following options for your child.
  18. The 5 core themes provide a broad based understanding of the environment and will help build a foundation upon which students can rely on for further study. The topics under each theme should not be viewed as compartmentalised blocks of knowledge. Conscious effort to show the relationship between themes. Spiral Approach – This is characterised by revisiting of concepts and skills at different levels with increasing depth. It allows the learning of scientific concepts and skills to match students’ cognitive development. It therefore helps students build upon their existing understanding of concepts and facilitates the gradual mastery of skills.
  19. Topics which are underlined are not required for students taking Foundation Science
  20. Teachers are encouraged to provide opportunities for students to use concepts and integrate skills and processes to inquire things and phenomena around them.
  21. Processes are complex operations which call upon the use of several skills. At the primary level, the processes expected of students are as follows. Scientific Inquiry Students need to understand the what(content) and the how(process) of understanding the world that we live in. Using the 5Es approach – Engage, Explore, Explain, Elaborate, Evaluate.
  22. In all scientific inquiry, the adoption of certain mental attitudes is advocated. Opportunities are provided in the classroom for students to ask questions.
  23. Science Practical Test is to assess pupils’ ability to apply science process skills. Through following the set of instructions for each station, pupils demonstrate the ability to carry out and completing the tasks and answer the questions therein. Parents will then be given a Science Practical Process Skills Report that will inform them of their child’s ability to apply each of the process skills tested.
  24. *The panel of examiners would adhere to the weighting specified but may make modifications based on their professional judgement.
  25. Inquiry-based lessons - degree of responsibility students have in posing and responding to questions (student-guided inquiry) and the degree of involvement the teacher takes (teacher-guided inquiry). Using the 5Es approach – Engage, Explore, Explain, Elaborate, Evaluate. For e.g. using Concept cartoon – To trigger misconception of scientific facts and getting pupils to be engaged and start to explore, explaning and elaborating the concepts. Experiential Learning / Hands-On Lesson P3 Life Cycle of Butterfly – pupils rear butterfly – observing the different stages in its life cycle P3 Life Cycle of Plants – pupils plant seeds and observe the life cycle, pupils were also encouraged to complete the YSB cards to expand their knowledge on plants P4 Properties of Light and Shadow – pupils to complete a holiday project on creating an object that could cast different types of shadows P4 Hydroponics Activity – Learning to grow plants without soil and teaching pupils to do Service Learning – harvested crops are donated to the old folks home P4 Heat Activity – using the knowledge of materials, pupils to create a container that could help to slow down the melting of ice. P4 Investigative Science Project – pupils were taught the skills of conducting a fair test. Pupils make paper airplanes that could fly the longest distance.
  26. We hope to develop a partnership with you in helping your child. We need your support and also to work closely with the staff for the benefit of your child. To help your child succeed, kindly encourage then to do all homework in a quiet environment. Also ensure that they attend supplementary and remedial lessons regularly and punctually. Think ‘Science’ when answer questions – which theme – what are the facts, concepts and principles – apply the process skills – use the proper science terms.
