Educational Testing

Educational Testing in Thailand is used to evaluate not only for the students but also the standards of each schools. The government, by reason of, wants schools in Thailand have the same average so they use this test to urge the school that has a lower level than the others. However, it has many problems, for example, lack of teacher, instrument, education system, etc.

Recently problem is about Admission Test which replaced The Entrance exam. Government used Admission Test because they believe that entrance exam can’t measure the real ability of students. Students just go to take special tutor courses for the exams but they don’t pay attention to the other subject that useless for their examination. Due to the education system in Thailand teach students to study just for an exam, they can remember all of text in the books but if you asked them to analyze what author think or what the advantage for this topic is, they can’t answer because in the text it doesn’t have answer for these questions.

Consequently, government thinks that they should use GPA to make the students pay more attention in the class. I think it success because of my experience, in the past most of my friends didn’t care about the arts and physical education. Sometimes they skipped the class to read mathematics, science, etc. but when the government has created Admission Test, all of my friends come to join the class and found that it has many advantage from these subjects which they didn’t heed before.

However, Admission Test still has some point that makes the problem with the students so the government should repair and make it better as far as they can for all students and the education system of Thailand.

Interesting that you start talking about the impact testing can have on the different parties: the students, the teachers, parents and the school system. This was very much part of today's lecture by Adrian Palmer -- I'll be interested to hear what the class thought of it.
Testing is a big problem everywhere in the world, not just here in Thailand. There does not seem to be a perfect solution.

In case you are concerned about your caffeine remaining refreshing for the very good period of time, try not to buy a lot of it at the same time. Many people buy espresso in bulk, but the reality is the espresso are going to minimize in good quality when everything is consumed. [url=http://www.ss12w12ws.info]Microecw2347[/url]
