Ministry of Education; Examinations Division; National Grade Six Assessment 2016

The results of the National Grade Six Assessment (NGSA) written on 27 and 28 April 2016 are being released to schools.  Fourteen thousand three hundred eighty six (14,386) candidates wrote this assessment. The results being released give a report on the candidates’ performance at National Grade Six Assessment.

The NGSA results will be available online from 5 pm this evening. Parents and students are advised to log onto the Ministry of Education website: education.gov.gy. The candidate’s timetable will provide the necessary information to access these results.

The Ministry of Education has commenced its collaboration with the Caribbean Examinations Council (CXC) to improve the quality of all primary grade assessments.  The objective of this consultation is to ensure that all assessments conform to regional and international test development and administration standards and expectations to facilitate consistent, reliable measurement and tracking of pupil performance. Teachers, subject specialists and test development officers from Guyana would have developed all items for the 2016 NGSA, with the technical guidance of CXC, addressing key areas such as item construction, weighting of items, sampling and other psychometric elements.

 

Areas tested for each subjects were:

Mathematics             –           Knowledge, Algorithmic Thinking, Reasoning

Science                     –           Knowledge, Comprehension, Application

Social Studies          –           Knowledge, Conceptual Understanding, Use of

Knowledge

English Language   –           Reading, Comprehension and Vocabulary: Structure and

Mechanics; Content, Focus, Vocabulary; Language and Organization

 

The highest possible standardized scores obtainable were Mathematics – 162, English – 138,

Social Studies – 134 and Science – 149. The highest possible total score obtainable was 583.

 

OVERALL SUBJECT ANALYSIS – 2016

Performance in English Language and Social Studies has been consistent with previous years.  Mathematics and Science in 2016 fell below that of previous years.  The analysis is currently being conducted to ascertain the specific areas in which pupils experienced the greatest difficulty.  The Ministry of Education has made concerted efforts to include items that would stimulate critical and higher level thinking.  The analysis of the 2016 assessment results will have deep implications for the instructional approaches adopted by teachers going forward. The practices of drilling and teaching to the test that had been adopted over the years will do little to benefit pupils in this new dispensation.  Work will be continued throughout the system to ensure that teachers focus on fully teaching the appropriate concepts and raise pupils’ competence levels rather than employing the antiquated traditional approaches.
