BANGKOK: -- National Institute of Educational Testing Services (NIETS) director Dr Samphan Phanphrut yesterday defended questions included in the recent national test that have been widely criticised.

"The panels that designed the questions had clear objectives," Samphan said, "but of course, we welcome all comments".

This year, the Ordinary National Educational Test (Onet) for Health Education subject for Mathayom 6 students has drawn criticism and ridicule after young people posted on Web sites questions many found strange.

One question was, "If you have a sexual urge, what should you do?" The available alternatives were: a) Ask friends if you can play football together; b ) Consult family members; c) Try to sleep; d) Go out with a friend of the opposite sex; or e) Invite a close friend to watch a movie together.

Critics pointed out that both "a" and "b" could be taken as correct answers for boys; furthermore, in the case of most girls, "a" would be a strange option, and therefore not a viable choice.

However, Samphan yesterday said "a" was the correct answer.

He explained this question was intended to check whether the students understood the nature of sexual desire and how to control or respond to it.

"This question is a part of the content about sex education and family life," Samphan said.

He added that the question about "transvestic behaviour" - which also drew flak - was intended to test the memory of students because the term had been defined in their textbooks.

"In response to the criticism, I have invited the questiondesign panel for the Health Education subject to provide an explanation," Samphan said.

He explained NIETS had designed the questions for Onet in line with the curriculum of the Office of Basic Education Commission (Obec) and in response to indicators highlighted by Obec.

"Based on what is provided by Obec, our invited specialists have developed test blue prints and item specifications," Samphan said.

He said schoolteachers, school directors, chiefs of academic subjects at schools were recruited for workshops where they could improve the test blueprint and specific items.

"Obec teachers have taken part in the designing of the tests in all subjects," Samphan said.

He pointed out that Obec chose question designers from its pool of teachers and they came from various regions.

"After the teachers design the questions, university lecturers with expertise in those subjects then step in as speakers to advise and screen the questions," Samphan said. "After that, testdesign and screening committees for each subject will work out the final sets of questions for the tests".

A total of 397,177 students sat the ONet tests last weekend. Mathayom 6 students take the tests seriously because their scores are a factor in the universityadmission system.

Good advice, go play football, get strong, fit, and maybe then you will attract a hot girl for sex.

Cheerleaders have been saying the same thing for decades. Football teams, hockey teams, rock groups....

[jonclark]

I wouldhave thought - have a wank would have been the right answer

[AZBill]

So we can now plan on seeing Thai government officials playing football instead of raping and molesting 14 year-old boys and girls in the Thai only brothels?

[blows]

A lot of sexual tension out on the pitch.

"A total of 397,177 students sat the ONet tests last weekend. Mathayom 6 students take the tests seriously because their scores are a factor in the universityadmission system."

It would be interesting to see how many of them put "a" for the answer to this question.

Looks like an open university course in psychology is needed to follow the thinking of the teachers who make these questions up and the "school directors & chiefs of academic subjects" who endorse them.

[krading]

furthermore, in the case of most girls, "a" would be a strange option, and therefore not a viable choice.

I sponsor the local school's female soccer team.

Don't call my girls 'strange'

nonsense, better get rich....that attracts much more hot girls.

[Jaivin2011]

There should be some movements initiated by the masses to get rid of individuals like this idiot Dr Samphan from having to do anything with the local education system.....the type of questions set were a joke and really Thais should defend their intellect by having idiots like this sacked.

Would they not look to the family first?

Cousin Vicki: "I'm going steady, and I French kiss."

Audrey Griswold: "So? Everybody does that."

Cousin Vicki: "Yeah, but Daddy says I'm the best at it."

In a land far far away - the answer might have been take a cold shower. But TIT, and the water is rarely cold enough.

Why does the answer indicate that a sexual urge is something to be suppressed?

I have read most Thais lose their virginity there and a super majority of them frequent them for an underage "Answer for sexual relief".

This is wrong in so many ways!

All the answers are total crap (giving that the question makes any sense...which it doesn't!) but after that you also turn sexist, because -sure- girls and football...hahahaha...have a laugh at that!

This country gets stranger and stranger every day!

Although this is not illegal, it should not be encourages. Thailand is a Buddhist country.

In certain country, one could be stoned to death for doing that at a public square.
