| description | This dissertation investigates the discrepancy between student performance in the Measures of Academic Progress (MAP) external assessment and internal assessments in Mathematics within a private school in Dubai. The research is conducted against the backdrop of Dubai’s commitment to educational excellence, as emphasised by the UAE Vision 2021 and the National Agenda. The study addresses four primary research Foci: the nature and scope of the MAP assessment, the alignment between the school’s internal assessment techniques and MAP standards, the reasons behind students’ underperformance in MAP as perceived by school leaders and teachers, and how assessment data is utilised to improve student outcomes. Through a mixed-methods approach, using a questionnaire and interviews with educators, the study uncovers significant gaps in curriculum alignment, instructional practices, and the use of data-driven strategies. The findings highlight the need for targeted interventions to bridge the gap between internal and external assessments, providing actionable recommendations for educators and school administrators to enhance student outcomes in both contexts. The implications extend beyond the studied school, offering insights for similar educational institutions across Dubai. Keywords: Measures of academic progress, external & internal assessments, curriculum, data-driven instruction, student performance |
