Specifically, the study sought to examine teachers’ knowledge of standard-based performance assessment, their practises and challenges they faced in implementing standard-based performance assessment. Finally, the study also explored strategies to overcome these challenges. The study involved a total of 2 headmasters, 291 teachers and 530 students from two Grade A national primary schools from the state of Selangor in Malaysia…
