SCIENCE LEARNING @PCPS
Adopted Inquiry Based Learning in our Science curriculum and programme.
• Develop pupils to be curious about what they see and observe around
them.
• To be able to make meaning and draw conclusions about the observation in
a scientific way.
• Ask questions, collect data and use such as evidence to communicate
explanations and connect these to the world around them.

CHANGES TO THE PSLE SCORING & S1 POSTING IT’S PART OF A BIGGER STORY

WHAT DO OUR CHILDREN NEED
TO THRIVE IN THE FUTURE?
VALUES
For example:
• Resilience
• Integrity
• Care
21ST CENTURY COMPETENCIES
For example:
• Global awareness
• Critical and Inventive
thinking
• Communication and
Collaboration
STRONG
FOUNDATION
For example:
• Literacy
• Numeracy
• Social-
emotional
Competencies

OUR EDUCATION SYSTEM AIMS TO:
NURTURE WELL-ROUNDED INDIVIDUALS
• Develop students holistically in every domain of learning
• Equip students with knowledge, skills, values and competencies for life
PROVIDE OPPORTUNITIES FOR CHILDREN TO DISCOVER AND DEVELOP THEIR STRENGTHS & INTERESTS
• Diversified school landscape• Multiple pathways at various stages
![Page 42: PROGRAMME OUTLINE - MOE · SCIENCE LEARNING @PCPS Adopted Inquiry Based Learning in our Science curriculum and programme. •Develop pupils to be curious about what they see and observe](https://reader030.vdocuments.us/reader030/viewer/2022040718/5e27455afff60e279d647abc/html5/thumbnails/42.jpg)
Over the years, we have been fine-tuning the education system
to help our students discover and develop their STRENGTHS
and interests while moving away from an
over-emphasis on academic results.
This will better enable them to lead fulfilling lives.
THE PSLE CHANGES AREPART OF A BIGGER STORY
The changes to the PSLE scoring and S1 posting
are another step in this direction.
![Page 43: PROGRAMME OUTLINE - MOE · SCIENCE LEARNING @PCPS Adopted Inquiry Based Learning in our Science curriculum and programme. •Develop pupils to be curious about what they see and observe](https://reader030.vdocuments.us/reader030/viewer/2022040718/5e27455afff60e279d647abc/html5/thumbnails/43.jpg)
THE PSLE REMAINS A USEFUL CHECKPOINT
It gauges the level of students’
learning
in the core subjects at the end of six
years of primary school and guides
his future choices.
![Page 44: PROGRAMME OUTLINE - MOE · SCIENCE LEARNING @PCPS Adopted Inquiry Based Learning in our Science curriculum and programme. •Develop pupils to be curious about what they see and observe](https://reader030.vdocuments.us/reader030/viewer/2022040718/5e27455afff60e279d647abc/html5/thumbnails/44.jpg)
WHY CHANGE?
•Reduce fine differentiation of students at
a young age based on exam scores.
•Recognise a student’s level of
achievement in each subject, regardless
of how his peers have done.
WHAT THE NEW PSLESCORING SYSTEM AIMS TO DO

• How S1 posting works
• Other issues

NEW SYSTEM
•There will be 8 Achievement Levels (ALs), with AL1 being the best.
•A student’s AL for each subject will reflect his level of achievement, rather than how he has performed relative to his peers.
STUDENTS WITH SIMILAR SCORES IN EACH SUBJECT WILL BE GROUPED INTO THE SAME ACHIEVEMENT LEVEL
PER SUBJECT
AL 1(BEST)
AL 2
AL 3
AL 4
AL 5
AL 6

NEW SYSTEM
•This offers a good balance.
• It reduces fine differentiation between students while still giving parents and educators a gauge of a student’s progress at the end of primary school.
•Students can then be matched to suitable academic programmes in secondary schools.

NEW SYSTEM
•To guide school-based assessments, we will provide reference raw mark ranges for each AL.
•These are based on learning objectives of the curriculum.
CONSIDERATIONS
•To have educationally meaningful differentiation of students.
•At the top ALs, the ranges are narrower as the PSLE is designed to show what students can do.
•On average, about half of the students will score AL4 or better.

NEW SYSTEM
•Foundation-level subjects are designed to support a
small number of students who may not be able to
cope with Standard-level subjects.
•This enables them to focus on building up strong
fundamentals so that they are better prepared for
secondary school.
•This way, the student will also build confidence to
pursue learning at a level suitable for them.
FOUNDATION-LEVEL SUBJECTS WILL ALSO BE SCORED ON ACHIEVEMENT LEVELS

NEW SYSTEM
•The PSLE Score ranges
from
4 to 32, with 4 being the
best.
•Compared to the T-score
Aggregate, students are
less finely differentiated.

IN SUMMARY
WHAT REMAINS WHAT CHANGES
•The T-score Aggregate will be replaced by the PSLE Score, to reduce the fine differentiation of our students at a young age based on exam scores.
•A student’s AL for each subject will reflect his own achievement, rather than how he has performed relative to his peers.
•Same 4 subjects are tested, and scores are awarded to guide students’ choices for the next stage of their education journey
•Subject curriculum will be continually updated. This is not related to the PSLE scoring and S1 posting changes.

HOW S1 POSTING WORKS

NEW SYSTEM
The PSLE Score will be the first criterion for posting.
If 2 students with the same PSLE Score vie for a place in a school, the following tie-breakers will be used.
1.CITIZENSHIP
(Singapore Citizens, Permanent Residents,
then International Students)
2.CHOICE ORDER OF SCHOOLS(NEW)
3.COMPUTERISED BALLOTING

NEW SYSTEM
• Again, suppose the same three
Singaporean students have
chosen School F as one of their
choices, but
there are only 2 places left in the
school.
• Azlina and Colin were not
successfully posted to schools
higher in their choices.

• To decide who is allocated
the remaining space, tie-
breakers will be used
between Bala and Colin.
• Bala placed School F as a
higher choice compared to
Colin, so Bala will be
allocated the remaining
place in School F.

WHY CHANGE?
WITH BROADER SCORING BANDS:
•More students will have the same PSLE Score.
•Schools will be less differentiated based on cut-off points.
WHY CHOICE?
We recognise that families have different
considerations when choosing secondary schools,
for example, the school’s ethos, culture,
programmes and CCAs, as well as distance
between the school and home.
CHOICE ORDER OF SCHOOLS TO MATTER MORE

IN SUMMARY
NEW SYSTEM
Academic merit remains the first criterion for secondary school posting. Choice order will be a new tie-breaker.
•Choice order is introduced as a new tie-breaker to recognise the different considerations that families have in making school choices.
•To guide families, we will provide information on each school's unique programmes and indicative cut-off points.

• Achievement Levels will reflect student’s level of achievement, regardless of how his peers have done.
• PSLE Scores replace T-score Aggregates, reducing fine differentiation.
• Choice order is a new tie-breaker to recognise the different considerations that students and parents have in making school choices.
