S.6 MARK SUBMISSION (2015-16)

No. of schools participating in SBA = 13

No. of S6 students = 164

All schools submitted the SBA marks on time

All schools met the mark submission requirements

(i.e. at least 1 mark for Area A and

at least 1 mark for Area B

for each year for each student)

2

MODERATION (STATISTICAL METHODS AND PROFESSIONAL JUDGMENT)

69.2% of schools ‘within the expected range’

23.1% of schools ‘higher than expected’

7.7% of schools ‘lower than expected’

For those higher or lower than expected, majority only

deviate slightly from expected range

Mean 2.2

Teachers in general used different practical occasions for assessing each ability area, allowing a clear picture of students’ performance to be obtained.

6

CHOICE OF EXPERIMENTS

There has been a lack of new tasks: teachers generally assessed

their students with the same set of experiments used in the past

few years

Most popular experiments used for assessment:

experiments on osmosis (e.g. studying osmosis in plant cells);

enzyme activity (e.g. effect of temperature on enzyme activity);

Ohm’s Law;

UV-radiation screening ability of sunglasses

Good to find that some teachers gave students the opportunity to perform practical tasks that require the handling of special apparatus (e.g. running DNA fingerprints using agarose gel electrophoresis) Conducting this type of experiment can extend students’ repertoire of experiment skills.

7

ASSESSING AREA B (REPORTS)

Most of the assessment of Area B was still based on the

reports written for the experiments

Students generally were good at

recording data in an organized way

presenting data in a graphical form

Students were weak at

explaining the results

drawing conclusions

Few teachers asked students to write investigation

plans for assessment of Area B

8


Students’ performance in analysing investigations was satisfactory. They were generally able to identify the independent and dependent variables involved in an investigation. Suggestion: after providing students with sufficient training in analysing investigations, teachers may consider asking students to design their own investigations for assessment of Area B. 9


Most teachers marked the reports in a consistent manner and

provided written feedback. The comments and remarks given

help students avoid making the same mistakes in the future.

2017 EXAM:

SUBMISSION REQUIREMENTS & SCHEDULE

Annex 2 of the circular (dated 19 Sept 2016)

Submission period: 16 Jan- 13 Feb 2017

On-line mark submission

Requirements:

Student work:

ALL reports used for assessment of Area B

Teacher Document:

List of Experiments performed in S5 and S6

17

SAMPLE OF LIST OF S.5 & S.6 EXPERIMENTS

Sample on p.4 of handout

Softcopy will be emailed to each teacher via DC

18

POINTS TO NOTE WHEN INPUTTING MARKS

3 mark boxes for each Area for each Year for each Student

Accept 0 to 10 marks (integer only) with ‘0 mark’ meaning

extremely poor performance.

If the number of assessment marks entered for a student for an

ability area exceeds the minimum requirement, the system will

automatically average out the marks in the calculation of the

final SBA mark of that student.

F = fail to complete the task

E = exempted from SBA (permission by HKEAA sought and

granted)

P = Serious Plagiarism Cases

19

PLAGIARISM – PREVENTION; HANDLING;

CONSEQUENCES 1. Preventing plagiarism in SBA:

Asking students to sign a declaration form (available at http://www.hkeaa.edu.hk/en/sba/forms/); ONE form for ALL subjects

2. Handling plagiarism cases http://www.hkeaa.edu.hk/en/SBA/faqs/faq_02.html

3. Consequence The levels of penalty to be imposed for proven P cases are as

follows:

Zero marks will be given to the task in which serious plagiarism is proven. In addition, a penalty of downgrade by one level will be imposed in the subject concerned

For extreme cases, e.g. repeated offence of plagiarism, candidates may be subject to disqualification from the subject(s) concerned or the whole examination

REMINDERS

Only student work with marks submitted to

HKEAA are required.

The work for each student should be zipped to

one single file if the work contains more than one

file.

If need scanning, advise students to use A4 paper to do their homework.

If one or two reports were lost, mark in the first page of the student work file, e.g. Chan Tai Man has lost report #2 and #5.

Attach questions/guidelines in the student work file for the convenience of checking by District Coordinators.

36

REMINDERS

Suggested file naming convention:

[Subject Abbreviation] [(6-digit Student

Document Number)].[File extension]

e.g. INTSC(123456).zip INTSC (362880).pdf

INTSC (246800).doc

Student Document Number is the beginning 6

digits of the identity document of a student.

The system only accepts file formats of zip, pdf,

txt, doc, docx, rtf, ppt, pptx, xls, xlsx, csv,

mp4, mp3, mpg, wmv, avi, jpg or tif.

The file size limit for each student’s work file is

10MB.

REQUEST FOR A CHANGE OF STUDENT(S) FOR

WORK SUBMISSION

If the work of any chosen student cannot be located, or involves

any irregularities (such as mark penalty being imposed due to

partial plagiarism or late submission), the Subject Panel should

contact the SBA Team at 3628 8068.

Subject Panel should download the ‘Change of Student Work

for SBA Work Submission’ form from ‘Mark Reports’ under

‘Reports’ menu.

Complete the section for the school and fax the form to 3628 8091.

After confirming the arrangement, the HKEAA will fax the

amended form to the school for school’s record.
