The Latest Development of Student Assessment Repository (STAR): From Basic Competency to Full Curriculum; From ‘Teacher Assigned Assessments’ to ‘Student Self-selected Assessments’

Overview

The Student Assessment Repository (STAR) is an online learning, teaching and assessment platform, which encompasses more than 68,000 quality assessment items of Chinese Language, English Language and Mathematics from Key Stage 1 to Key Stage 3, and various features, like instant assessment reports on student performance, direct links with learning and teaching resources, etc.

With a view to encouraging schools to incorporate the STAR Platform into their routine learning / teaching and school-based assessments as a regular and frequently-used learning, teaching and assessment tool, the platform offers assessment tasks and learning / teaching resources covering Basic Competencies and the Full Curriculum of Chinese Language, English Language and Mathematics.
While teachers can make use of the assessment tasks to gain a better understanding about student’s learning, the newly added 'Student Self-selected Assessments' can also facilitate student self-directed learning.

Participants of this seminar will gain a better understanding about:
• the latest development / enhancement of the STAR Platform; and
• the use of the STAR Platform to promote student self-directed learning.
