Teacher Reflection – CIE Trials in Progress!!!

On Monday, the 11^th November 2013, the CIE Segment students started the trials. Life today has become so complex that examinations have come to play an important part in one’s educational career. If there were no examinations, most scholars would have been less informed than they are today. Examinations compel students to read as much as they can, and as they do so, they absorb knowledge unconsciously.

Examination is testing one’s ability on something after he must have been taught that thing. So, what is examination discipline? Examination discipline can be referred to the way examination is conducted without any form of malpractices.

Examination discipline in secondary schools is very important. Why? First of all, it brings out the best students who actually prepared well. For example, if an examination is conducted for the students, so as to get the best students to take for a competition, and there are examination malpractices, the worst students might end up beating the best students through cheating. Thereby, the school ends up losing the competition.

Secondly, examination discipline encourages students to prepare well for an examination. A popular saying goes thus; ‘fail to prepare and prepare to fail’. When students know that there will be no chance of examination indiscipline, those who do not want to fail will have to prepare. This encourages hard work amongst the students.

Also, examination discipline encourages students to be dependent on themselves. Being dependent on oneself starts from writing an examination without cheating. When students learn to write their exams themselves, they also learn to be dependent on themselves.

Here at Oakridge, we feel proud to inform that we provide a good platform for students to become disciplined and independent.
