Pedagogy is the holistic
science of education. the word is derived from a Greek word Paidos and ago,
which means "to lead the child"
·
The word "education"
is derived from the Latin ēducātiō (“A breeding, a bringing up, a
rearing") from ēdūcō (“educate, train”)
·
In formal education, a curriculum is
the set of courses, and their content, offered at a school or university.
·
curriculum came
from the Latin word for race course, referring to the course of deeds and
experiences through which children grow to become mature adult
·
Epistemology is
the branch of philosophy that studies knowledge. Deals with
·
What is knowledge?
·
How is knowledge acquired?
·
Ontology is the study or
concern about what kinds of things exist - what entities there are in the
universe. It derives from the Greek onto (being) and logia (written or spoken
discourse). It is a branch of metaphysics , the study of first principles or
the essence of things.
·
Axiology is The study of the
nature of values and value judgments.
·
Pre-nnialists believe
that one should teach the things that one deems to be of everlasting pertinence
to all people everywhere
·
Educational essentialism is
an educational philosophy whose adherents believe that children should learn
the traditional basic subjects thoroughly and rigorously
·
Progressivists believe
that individuality, progress, and change are fundamental to one's education.
Believing that people learn best from what they consider most relevant to their
lives, progressivists center their curricula on the needs, experiences,
interests, and abilities of students
Philosophy of education can refer to either
the academic field of applied philosophy or to one of any educational
philosophies that promote a specific type or vision of education, and/or which
examine the definition, goals and meaning of education.
CONCEPT OF TEST, MEASUREMENT, ASSESSMENT AND EVALUATION
Test:
According
to Norman E.Gronlund (1985)
Test
is an instrument procedure or systematic procedure for measuring a sample of
behavior (answer the question how well does the individual perform)
According to Ebel & frisbie
(1991):
A
test is set of question each of which has a correct answer, that examine
usually answer orally or in writing
Measurement:
According to Norman E.Gronlund (1985)
Measurement is the process of
obtaining a numerical description of the degree to which an individual process
particular characteristics.
Assessment:
According to Murry print (1993)
Assessment involves the
interpretation of measurement data. It makes sense of the data collected on
student performance.
Evaluation:
According to Mehrens & Lehmann
(1984)
Evaluation is the process of
delineating and providing useful information for judging decision alternatives.
Roll & Need of
Assessment and Evaluation in Educational Process.
Assessment and evaluation play a
pivotal role in teaching learning process following points may describe the
role of assessment and evaluation in educational process.

·
Includes clear instruction for uniform
administration and scoring
·
Provides tables of norms for score
interpretation
Teacher Made Test:
Test development by the class teacher
in order to assess the achievement of the students in particular subjects is
called a teacher made test
Criterion Reference
Test:
According to Norman E.Gronlund (1985)
“CRT” Is a test designed to provide a
measure of performance that is interpretable in terms of a clearly defined and
delimited of learning tasks.
Norm Reference Test:
According to Norman E.Gronlund (1985)
“NRT”
is the test designed to provide a measure of performance that is interpretable
in terms of an individual’s relative standing in some knowing group.
Characteristics of
Good Test:
1.
Validity 2. Reliability 3. Usability 4. Objectivity
1.
Validity:
Validity is the degree to which the test
measure what is supposed to measure.
Types of Validity:
1.
Content Validity: content validity
is the degree to which a test measures an intended content area.
2.
Construct Validity: construct validity
is the degree to which the test measures an intended hypothetical construct.
3.
Concurrent Validity: concurrent
validity is the degree to which the scores on a test are related to the scores
on another already established test administered at the same time.
4.
Predictive Validity: predictive
validity is the degree to which a test can predict how well an individual will
do in future.
Factors Affecting
Validity:
·
Unclear direction
·
Reading vocabulary and sentence structure too
difficult
·
Inappropriate level of difficulty of the test
items
·
Poorly constructed test time
·
Ambiguity
·
Test items inappropriate for the outcomes
being measured
·
Test too short
·
Improper arrangement of items
·
Identifiable pattern of answer
2.
Reliability
Reliability is the degree to which a test
consistently measures whatever it measure. A reliable test gives the same
scores when administered and read ministered while an unreliable test does not
give the same scores.
Types of
Reliability:
1.
Test retest reliability: which scores are
consist over time
2.
Equivalent forms reliability: equivalent
forms of a test are two tests that are identical in every way except for the
actual items included.
3.
Spilt half reliability: split half
reliability is determined by establishing the relationship between the scores
on two question halves of a test administered to a group at one time.
Factors Affecting
Reliability:
·
Length of test
·
Spread of scores
·
Difficulty of test
·
Objectivity
3. Usability:
It
is the characteristics of a test to fulfill following practical consideration.
A.
Time of administration: a safe procedure is
to allot as much time as is necessary to obtain valid and reliable rules.
B.
Ease of administration: a test will be easy
to administer when direction will be simple and clear. Sub tests will be few.
Time of test will be suitable
Ease of Scoring:
Those tests are favored that offer
ease and economy of scoring without sacrificing scoring accuracy.
Ease of
Interpretation:
When
the results are present to the pupils or parents, ease of interpretation and
application are especially important.
Availability of equivalent forms: equivalent forms of a test measure the
same aspect of behavior by using test items that are alike in contents
difficulty level and other characteristics.
Cost of testing: testing should be
economical but sacrificing valid and reliable test of being high cost and
selecting cheaper test is false economy.
Objectivity:
The
objectivity is a test refers to the degree to which equally component scores
obtained the same results.
Table
of specification:
A
sample of pupil performance is more likely to be representative if a set of
specification is used in planning the test. The specification defines and
limits the achievement domain to be measured and describe the sample of test
items to be prepared. One form of specification is a two-way chart, called a
table of specification. Table of specification involves:
(1)
Obtaining the list of instructional
objectives
(2)
Outlining the course content
(3)
Prepare the two-way chart that relates the
instructional objectives to course content
Administering Of
Test:
Physical
condition: physical condition consist of
·
Adequate work space
·
Proper light
·
Ventilation
·
Comfortable temperature
Psychological
Conditions:
Provision
of conductive psychological atmosphere is of great importance which mean
atmosphere free of threatening and warning pupils like:
Threatening
pupils which tests if they do not behave
·
Warning pupils to do their best “ because
this test is important”
·
Telling pupils they must work fast in order
to complete the test on time
·
Threatening dire consequence if they fail the
test
Principle of
Administering Of Test:
·
Don’t talk unnecessarily before the test
·
Keep interruption to a minimum during the
test
·
Avoids giving hints to pupils who ask about
individual items
·
Discourage cheating, if necessary
·
Who can score of objectives tests be
improved? Scoring of objectives tests can be improved by using :
·
Scoring
key when separate answer sheets are provided
·
When separate answer sheet are using , a
scoring stencil is more convenient
·
When there is no scoring key, mark tick ( √ ) for
correct , mark cross ( x) for wrong and mark (0) for committed
·
Score= total number of items-wrong or missing
items
·
Count and write the score on each page
separately and then add all
·
Mark on for each items
·
Inform pupils for using guessing correction
formula
·
Function of marks and progress of reports:
·
These facilities the pupils learning and
development
·
There is need for a periodic summary of
progress
·
Reports also give them a basic for checking
the adequacy of their own self-estimates of learning progress.
Types of Marking
and Reporting:
The
traditional method of reporting pupil progress which is still in wide use
today, is to assign letter grad e.g ( A,B,C,D,F) single number e,g (5,4,3,2,1)
to represent a pupils achievement in each subject.
Following
are the types of marking and reporting;
·
Traditional marking system
·
Pass- fail system
·
Checklist of objectives
·
Letters to parents
·
Parent teacher conferences
·
Multiple marking and reporting systems
Types of Grading

·
Criterion reference grading.
SOLO TAXONOMY
The Structure of Observed Learning Outcomes (SOLO) was developed in 1970s by two Australian academicians-John Biggs and Kevin Collis.
Government of the Punjab established an autonomous examining body named as Punjab Examination Commission (PEC). The major purpose of establishing this body is to administer assessment-only examinations for grade 5 and grade 8. It is only focused on measuring learning outcomes of these students.
SOLO suggests that there are five modes of cognitive functioning rather than the four developmental stages of Piaget. Biggs and Collis have provided a post-formal mode of development to describe shifts in cognitive growth beyond that normally observed among school children.
·
Sensorimotor mode. The focus of attention (or source of
elements) is the physical environment. Children develop the ability to
coordinate and manage their interaction with the physical environment.
·
Iconic mode. In this mode, symbols and imagery are used
to represent the elements of the sensor motor mode
·
Concrete symbolic mode. This mode involves a shift in abstraction
from representing the physical world through oral language to using written,
second order, symbol systems that apply to the experienced world
·
Formal mode. As indicated above, the elements of
attention in the formal mode are theoretical constructs without a real world
referent.
·
Post-formal mode. The existence of this mode seems to be
hypothesized rather than be supported by empirical evidence.
BLOOM’S TAXONOMY
Before SOLO Taxonomy,
Bloom’s taxonomy was used in Pakistan.
The Taxonomy of Educational
Objectives, often called Bloom's Taxonomy, is a classification of the different
objectives and skills that educators set for students (learning
objectives).
The taxonomy was proposed
in 1956 by Benjamin Bloom, an educational psychologist at the University of
Chicago.
Bloom's Taxonomy divides
educational objectives into three "domains:" Affective, Psychomotor,
and Cognitive.
Cognitive Domain
Skills in the cognitive
domain revolve around knowledge, comprehension, and "thinking
through" a particular topic.
There are six levels in the
taxonomy, moving through the lowest order processes to the highest:
1) Knowledge
At this level, the learner is required to exhibit memory of previously learned
material by recalling facts, terms, basic concepts and answers.
2) Comprehension
The learner is required to show understanding of facts and ideas by organizing,
comparing, translating, interpreting, giving descriptions, and stating main ideas.
3) Application
This level requires using new knowledge; solve problems in new situations by
applying acquired knowledge, facts, techniques and rules in a different way.
4) Analysis
Here the learner is expected to examine and break information into parts by
identifying motives, causes or inferences and find evidence to support generalizations.
5) Synthesis
Here the individual learner compiles information together in a different way by
combining elements in a new pattern or proposing alternative solutions.
6) Evaluation
The individual is expected to present and defend opinions by making
judgments about information, validity of ideas or quality of work based on a set of
criteria.
Psychomotor Domain
Skills in the psychomotor domain describe the ability to physically manipulate a tool or instrument like a hammer. Psychomotor objectives usually focus on change and/or development in behavior and/or skills.
Bloom and his colleagues never created subcategories for skills in the psychomotor domain, but since then other educators have created their own psychomotor taxonomies.
Affective Domain
Skills in the affective domain describe the way people react emotionally and their ability to feel another living thing's pain or joy. Affective objectives typically target the awareness and growth in attitudes, emotions, and feelings.
At this level, the learner is required to exhibit memory of previously learned
material by recalling facts, terms, basic concepts and answers.
2) Comprehension
The learner is required to show understanding of facts and ideas by organizing,
comparing, translating, interpreting, giving descriptions, and stating main ideas.
3) Application
This level requires using new knowledge; solve problems in new situations by
applying acquired knowledge, facts, techniques and rules in a different way.
4) Analysis
Here the learner is expected to examine and break information into parts by
identifying motives, causes or inferences and find evidence to support generalizations.
5) Synthesis
Here the individual learner compiles information together in a different way by
combining elements in a new pattern or proposing alternative solutions.
6) Evaluation
The individual is expected to present and defend opinions by making
judgments about information, validity of ideas or quality of work based on a set of
criteria.
Psychomotor Domain
Skills in the psychomotor domain describe the ability to physically manipulate a tool or instrument like a hammer. Psychomotor objectives usually focus on change and/or development in behavior and/or skills.
Bloom and his colleagues never created subcategories for skills in the psychomotor domain, but since then other educators have created their own psychomotor taxonomies.
Affective Domain
Skills in the affective domain describe the way people react emotionally and their ability to feel another living thing's pain or joy. Affective objectives typically target the awareness and growth in attitudes, emotions, and feelings.
There
are five levels in the affective domain, moving through the lowest order
processes to the highest:
RECEIVING
At the lowest level the student passively pays attention. Without this level, no
learning can occur.
RESPONDING
The student actively participates in the learning process not only attends to a
stimulus but also reacts in some way.
VALUING
The student attaches a value to an object, phenomenon, or piece of
information.
ORGANIZING
The student can put together different values, information, and ideas and
accommodate them within his/her own schema; comparing, relating and elaborating
on what has been learned.
CHARACTERIZING
The student has held a particular value or belief that now exerts influence on
his/her behavior so that it becomes a characteristic.

EDUCATION
CURRENTLY
Pakistan has one of the lowest literacy rates in the world. In 2003 only 45.7 percent of adult Pakistanis were literate. Male literacy was 59.8 percent, while female literacy was 30.6 percent. From 1976 to 2001 the number of primary schools doubled, but so did the population. High levels of population growth continue to hamper educational development in the country. The government launched a nationwide initiative in 1998 with the aim of eradicating illiteracy and providing a basic education to all children.
According to the constitution, it is the state’s responsibility to provide free primary education. Five years has been established as the period of primary school attendance, but attendance is not compulsory. While the enrollment rate in primary school is high for boys, less than one-half of girls attend school. In the 1999–2000 school year 96 percent of primary school-aged children were enrolled in school, while only 39 percent of secondary school-aged children attended. In 1996, 3.5 percent of Pakistan’s college-aged population attended institutions of higher education. The wealthiest and best students seek education in British and American universities.
At the time of independence Pakistan had only one university, the University of the Punjab, founded in 1882 in Lahore. Pakistan now has more than 20 public universities. Among Pakistan’s leading public institutions of higher education are Quaid-e-Azam University (1965), in Islāmābād, the University of Karāchi (1951), the University of Peshāwar (1950), and the University of Sindh (1947), nearHyderābād.
Since 1978 the government has encouraged the privatization of education at all levels. This led to the creation of three major private universities: Lahore University of Management Sciences (LUMS), Agha Khan University Medical College (in Karāchi), and Ghulam Ishaq Khan Institute of Engineering Sciences and Technology (in Topi, North-West Frontier Province). The National University of Sciences and Technology (NUST), in Rāwalpindi, conduct research in the fields of science and technology for both the public and private sectors.
