Systemic Assessment [SA] as a Tool to Assess Student Achievements in Inorganic Chemistry [Part-I]: Systemic Assessment Questions [SAQ,s] in Sodium Chemistry

The Systemic assessment [SA] strategy changes the assessment from traditional linear bothering
exams to enjoyable puzzle games in the form of systemics. Systemic Assessment (SA) aims a more
effective evaluation of the systemically oriented objectives articulated by the SATL model. SA raising
the level of student’s academic achievements, increasing students learning outcomes, develops the
ability to think systemically, assesses students’ higher-order thinking skills in which students are
required to analyze, synthesize and evaluate, measures the students' ability to correlate between
concepts with reduced working memory load. Systemic Assessment Questions (SAQ,s) are the
building units of the systemic assessment. In this chapter, we use SA as a tool to assess student
achievement in inorganic chemistry by taking sodium chemistry as a module. We use five types of
systemic assessment questions, namely Systemic Sequencing Questions (SSQ’s) Systemic
Synthesis Questions (SSynQ, s), Systemic Analysis Questions (SAnQ, s), Systemic Synthetic-
Analytic Questions (SSyn-AQ, s) and complete Systemics (SCompQs). This chapter is suitable for
students at the secondary level and could be used as an applicable model to assess students learning
in sodium chemistry and other metals of the periodic table by changing the metal.
