Mr.
Ujjwal Singh, Vice President, Product – K12, Pearson India said, “Assessing learning on an on-going basis
is important to get a clear understanding of where the student is doing well
and what areas need special attention”.
“At Pearson, we are constantly thinking
of newer and better approaches to learning. While the method of learning is
changing, it is imperative for us to work on newer ways of measuring skills and
results. MyPedia Achievement Testdoes this. It is built around inquiry-based,
experimental learning and embraces individual differences of students, it also encourages
students to think out-of-the-boxand be problem solvers” he added.
The
test has been specially designed to facilitate seamless student engagement and
scope for individual, differentiated assessment. One of the most compelling features of the
achievement test is that it aims to bridge gap between teachers, students and
parents. It allows parents to monitor the child’s achievement level and receive
guidance for home involvement. Another special feature of the test is that it not
only measures what students know but also assesses what they are able to do
with that knowledge.
MyPedia
Achievement test strongly emphasizes on measurement of higher order thinking
and application skills. It provides students with a detailed and accurate
feedback on cognitive skills. Parents stand to highly benefit by identifying
gaps in learning and test higher order cognitive skills and Teachers get to
discover students’ latent potential and aptly identify growth areas with the
detailed analysis provided by the test.
