KUALA LUMPUR: The Malaysian Learning Matrix (MPM) for Year Four pupils will assess students’ progress in literacy, numeracy and basic scientific skills, says Wong Kah Woh. Wong said the MPM would begin for Year 4 this year and for next year for Form 3 students. Wong said PBD is a key assessment tool to obtain information on students’ development, progress, abilities, and level of mastery of the curriculum objectives. “PBD plays a critical role in providing a clear picture of students’ mastery of the Learning Standards outlined in the curriculum. Through this process, teachers can systematically collect information, conduct analysis, and continuously reflect to monitor students’ progress,” he said.
