14/03/2011 World Class Test Results Show Problem Solving Test to be Effective in Reflecting Reasoning Abilities
World Class Tests in Mathematics and Problem Solving administered by the Hong Kong University of Science and Technology (HKUST) have found that the highest achievers are those who do well in reasoning and problem solving.
This observation was made based on the results of 3,028 students who took part in the November 2010 World Class Tests for the 8-11 age group and the 12-14 age group.
These include students from 176 primary schools and 91 secondary schools. Prof Wong Man-Yu of the HKUST Mathematics Department said, "Judging from the performance of Hong Kong students over the years, we have observed that they are in general well trained in finding the right answers, but on the other hand they are relatively weak in explaining their reasoning process. We found that the candidates who do well in explaining the reasoning process also do well in both the Mathematics and Problem Solving."
Prof Edmund Chiang of the same department said "This once again shows that the ability to clearly describe the steps of reasoning is of critical importance to the students' ability to learn."
The World Class Tests
Since the launch of the World Class Tests in 2001 by the British Government's Department for Education and Skills for assessing and nurturing gifted
youngsters, the Tests have become an international benchmark for Mathematics and Problem Solving. The questions in the tests are designed by professors of renowned universities in the UK, USA and Australia.
The Tests were first introduced in Hong Kong in 2004, and since then, about 35,000 students from about 400 primary and secondary schools have taken the Tests. In 2008 HKUST was commissioned to promote and administer the Tests in the Asian region.
World Class Tests are organized throughout the world in April and November each year, and the results announced today are of the November 2010 tests conducted at various school test sites in Hong Kong.
