From the above table, it is evident there was an improvement in the performance of the subject as shown by the mean of 19.29 in 2020 as compared to 18.81 in 2019.

ANALYSIS OF PERFORMANCE IN SELECTED ITEMS

The following is an analysis of the performance of the candidates based on a total population of 1,116,826.The number of girls who sat for examination was 556,566 while that of boys was 560,260. The boys had a mean mark of 19.15 and a standard deviation of 6.21, while the girls had a mean mark of 19.43 and a standards deviation of 5.79.

 

The table above shows the relative difficulty of each of the 30 items in the year 2020 CRE examination. The analysis is derived from the approximate percentage of candidates scoring correctly in each item in the paper.

 

Any item where the candidate scoring correctly is 40% or lower is perceived to have been poorly performed. In 2020 there were questions that were poorly performed because the candidates scored below 40%.This report will therefore look at the questions that were poorly performed i.e. had 40% and below scoring correctly.

Questions which recorded a facility index of 40% and below

 

Question Number	66	73	77	88
% Answering the item correctly	24.29	35.72	35.84	36.35

The discussion will focus on analysis of the items given above based on the ideas, skills and thinking processes that candidates may have gone through so as to arrive at the correct responses. It also focuses on the misconceptions that may have led the candidates to the wrong choices. The asterisk (*) in the response pattern denotes the correct response.

 

 

Question 66

 

The main lesson Christians learn from the incident when Ruth followed Naomi to her native land is

that they should be

 

1. obedient

 

1. honest
2. trustworthy

 

 

Response pattern

OPTION	A	B	C	D*
% choosing the option	19.56	17.22	37.86	24.29
Mean mark in other questions	15.65	16.33	20.17	23.01

This question came from the Old Testament part of the syllabus. It is an evaluation question. Majority of the candidates chose option C. The candidates were easily attracted by the option because of the family relationship between Ruth and Naomi who was her mother-in-law. The literal interpretation of that story is that Ruth trusted Naomi as her mother-in-law. This indicates lack of understanding of that content. Teachers should emphasize on reading the Bible references during teaching and also explain to the learners the deeper meaning of the Biblical stories.

 

 

 

 

 

 

Question 73

 

Jesus said “Look at the birds: they do not plant seeds, gather a harvest and put it in barns, yet your Father in heaven takes care of them.”(Mat.6:26).This teaches Christians that they should

1. care for God’s creation

 

1. trust in God

 

1. love others

 

1. work

 

Response Pattern

 

OPTION	A	B*	C	D
% choosing the option	42.85	35.72	10.15	10.29
Mean mark in other questions	18.46	22.08	14.70	17.71

 

 

This is an application question from the New Testament part of the syllabus. The candidates are supposed to know and understand the teachings of Jesus. However, in this case the candidates could not take their time and critically evaluate the choices given hence many went for option A although it is not right. Teachers should guide the candidates to apply the knowledge acquired in class to answer questions.

 

 

 

 

Question 77

 

The two disciples who were walking to Emmaus could not recognize Jesus because

 

1. they were busy talking

 

1. they did not believe in resurrection

 

1. Jesus was dead and buried

 

1. Jesus had not revealed himself to

 

 

 

 

 

Response Pattern

 

OPTION	A	B	C	D*
% choosing the option	9.38	34.23	19.46	35.84
Mean mark in other questions	16.61	17.92	18.39	21.84

This is an analysis question which came from the New Testament part of the syllabus. The candidates were supposed to know the events related to the resurrection of Jesus.However,the response pattern provided, indicates lack of knowledge in this area since only a small percentage of the candidates scored the item right. Teachers should emphasize on reading the Bible references during the teaching and revision.

 

 

 

 

 

Question 88

 

Which one of the following leisure activities is practiced in both traditional African Communities and Christianity?

1. Watching

 

1. Reading

 

1. Visiting

 

1. Dancing

 

 

Response Pattern

OPTION	A	B	C	D*
% choosing the option	2.67	6.24	53.73	36.35
Mean mark in other questions	13.18	12.01	18.71	21.89

 

This is a synthesis question which came from the Contemporary Christian Living part of the syllabus. The candidates are supposed to combine the knowledge acquired from both the Contemporary Christian Living and African religious heritage to answer the question. However, majority of the candidates were influenced by the

 

events in their daily lives especially outside classroom setup and therefore went for option C although it is not right. During teaching and revision, teachers should compare the social life in both the contemporary living and traditional African living to enable the learners to distinguish activities which are only practiced in the contemporary society from those conducted in the traditional African communities. This will give learners the information which will enable them to answer questions correctly.

 

This will give learners the information which will enable them to answer questions correctly.
