FADHILAH RAIHAN LOKMAN TASK A

Develop an assessment plan aligned to the learning outcomes for the

course/subject you teach.
Refer to the attachments
LO1 Identify major concepts of Islamic and Islamic civilizations
LO2 Explain the importance and functions of different religions and culture in daily
life
LO3 Apply communication skills effectively in writing and conversation
Justify the plan.
Based on the Bloom Taxonomy, LO1 is identified to be cognitive level 4, LO2 as
cognitive level 5 while LO3 falls under cognitive level 3. From the learning
outcomes, three types of assessments are going to be used for the module. One is
the traditional assessment which is the multiple choice test and another two are
alternative assessments by assigning a group project to produce a report and to
conduct a forum. This suits this module as three credit hour based module. Find
justification.
a) Multiple Choice Test
Multiple choice test is a summative assessment to be conducted at the very end of
the module. Multiple choice test is chosen because it allows effective coverage on
each topic as LO1 includes topic 1 until topic 5 which makes up 90% of the module.
It is the best instrument to measure LO1 as items can be constructed in various
cognitive levels.
There are a total of 100 multiple choice test questions which covers 10 weeks of
lesson. A week of lesson will be represented by 10 questions and for every question,
students are given one minute and thirty seconds to do. But how do I get this
calculation? Nonetheless in total, students are given two hours and thirty minutes to
complete the multiple choice test.
The following table is the allocation of topics for 10 weeks of lesson:

W2
W3

From the table, Topic 1, 2, 4 and 5 will have 20 questions respectively while Topic 3
and 6 will have 10 questions. Since the cognitive level for LO1 is 4, questions are
distributed for C2, C3 and C4. C2 and C3 questions are necessary in order to build
students cognitive level to reach higher level thinking of C4 as outlined in the LO1.
More understanding and application questions are allocated because students can
demonstrate their understanding and apply their new knowledge from items that
consists of different responses before they can analyse the concepts further.
On the other hand, questions for Topic 6 will fulfil the C5 of LO2. Questions are
allocated for C3 until C5 only. C1 and C2 are not necessary because LO2 seeks for
students ability to evaluate the given information and no remembering is needed.

However, since LO2 requires even higher cognitive level, LO2 will be assessed
further using other methods; report writing and forum.

b) Group Project - Report Writing

In order to address LO2, this module will assess students with report writing. As LO2
requires higher order level of thinking, this assessment is chosen to allow students
to evaluate and made their judgment independently. The report is also aligned with
LO3 which is to measure students application of communication skills in writing.
Example of a group project report is to 1) write a report on the importance of a
historical religious monument, 2) describe its contribution to the development of
civilization in Malaysia and 3) write a personal reflection on what have been learnt
throughout the project
For this report, students are required to team up to discuss and produce a report on
chosen topic. Everyone is required to write a personal reflection to demonstrate
understanding and gives examples related to the lesson.
c) Forum
This assessment addresses LO2 and LO3 in conversation through a forum. Forum is
chosen because it allows students to deliver and defend their thoughts and opinions
with other students in engaging ways. Students need to be analytical in this
assessment because they are required to come up with valid ideas, not just to come
up with groundless ideas as the learning outcome is up to C5. This is an assessment
for learning for students to develop higher level of thinking skill.
