ABSTRACT
Kaedah pemarkahan dan penggredan sering
dibincangkan dalam aspek penilaian pelajar. Kertas kerja ini
bertujuan untuk membincangkan kaedah pemarkahan dan penggredan menggunakan
persentil taburan markah. Kaedah pemarkahan dengan
menggunakan min dan songsangan varians markah bagi setiap soalan dalam suatu
peperiksaan sebagai pemberat kepada soalan berkenaan dibincangkan. Dalam membincangkan penggredan menggunakan persentil taburan
markah, persentil boleh ditentukan dengan menganggar taburan bagi markah
peperiksaan. Penganggaran dan penentuan persentil bagi
dua taburan iaitu taburan normal dan taburan gamma digunakan. Perbandingan dilakukan terhadap keputusan bagi beberapa senario
yang diperoleh. Keputusan menunjukkan bahawa kaedah
pemarkahan berpemberat yang menggunakan pemberat yang berasaskan kepada tahap
kesukaran soalan boleh digunakan untuk mernghasilkan peringkat gred yang lebih
jelas dalam kalangan pelajar.
Kata kunci: Penggredan; penilaian; tahap kesukaran
ABSTRAK
Assessment and grading methods are two important aspects in
student evaluation. This paper proposes a method of assessing and grading using
percentile of the distribution of examination scores. Assessment methods using
the mean and the inverse of variance from the distribution in an examination as
weights were discussed. In grading using percentile of the distribution of
scores, percentiles can be determined by estimating the distribution of exam
scores. Estimation and determination of percentile of the distribution of two
distributions, namely normal and gamma distributions were used. Comparisons of
results obtained under different scenarios were presented. The result showed
that the weighted scoring method that gives weights based on the level of
difficulty of the questions can be used to formulate a comprehensible grade
distinction among students.
Keywords: Assessment;
grading; level of difficulty
