Reflections on the Exam..

I had the exam on the 1st of November, 3 P.M..

Earlier that day, I had a Lab Management exam on 11.30am - 1.30pm..right after the exam ended, I did some light studying for this subject.

Did I felt a little nervousness? Of course I am. However, I was not letting my nervousness to overpower me. I'm a student and I have to behave like one, that is taking the exam with full of confidence =)

These are the questions from the exam:

 

For me, I think these questions were more focused on applications of technology in teaching and require more thinking skills. Notes alone were not that sufficient to answer these questions.

I found that there is only one factual question, which is about theoretical foundations for technology integration in the science classroom. The rest of the questions rely on common sense and creativity.

There is also a reasoning question ( Question 2 (b)) that needs me to give comments. This question does not have definite right or wrong answer. It depends on our reasons, whether they are reasonable or not.

Question 1 (b) and 3 asks about integration of technology in teaching. Hard to think but I love to answer these questions. These questions required me to think about science concepts and how to utilize technology to deliver it effectively. It means, these questions are intermediate; they are not too easy or too hard to answer.

Based on the whole paper, I found out that the questions are balanced between easy to high-level questions.The paper satisfied the principle of evaluation in education. It is because the questions vary from low level to high level questions.

Thank you to Dr. Shahul for one semester of teaching and educating us to utilize technology in teaching science concepts. This course has meant so much for me because prior to taking this subject, I had very little knowledge about technology and didn't know how to apply it in teaching science concepts. So, your teaching can be said as 'meaningful knowledge' =)
