Task Assessment

The pursuit for quality education, including that in the basic education levels, for sustainable development is clearly described in the Education for Sustainable Development (ESD), one of the17 Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) by the UN. Accordingly, to equip students, with knowledge, skills, attitudes, and values they'll need to face the difficulties along with sustainable development, there is a need to update some processes currently utilized in science teaching and learning. For this reason, alternative activities and assessment methods, like the use of performance task assessment is needed to improve both the quality of teaching and to provide a meaningful learning experience to students. The purpose of this study was to provide relevant information from extant literature and a sample performance task assessment to encourage Science teachers to utilize these information in their classes. To achieve this purpose, significant information about performance task assessment and an original performance task assessment were presented. The use of performance assessment task is one alternative method to develop critical thinking skills, and to provide an education that is truly relevant to every student in the light of today’s challenges, like the pandemic. It could provide authentic and meaningful learning experience to students, and is very relevant in the context of coping with the challenges the science teachers have been facing. With the many pieces of evidence on its effectiveness and positive learning experience by students provided by literature, it is certain that the use of performance assessment task in Science classes cannot be overemphasized.

Operational Data

This paper employs stochastic frontier analysis (SFA) in assessing efficiency at the mine level. An SFA model is derived using annual operational data from the Kardia Field mine of the Greek Public Power Corporation (PPC) S.A. for the 1984-2006 period and the causes of inefficiency are investigated by means of regression techniques. The proposed two-stage model can be used as a diagnostic tool to identify causes of mine inefficiency and as a tool for designing and specifying interventions to improve mine performance.

AbstractIn this work infrared thermography was used as a diagnostic tool for the performance assessment of a photovoltaic array integrated on the southern façade of NTUA's Chemical Engineering Building. This grid-connected 50 kWp solar photovoltaic array, installed under an EC Thermie Project (SE-142-97-GR-ES), operates in a standard and hybrid PV-Thermal configuration, meant to save conventional energy. The thermographic system used for the analysis covers the 8-12 ìm of wavelength region. The thermal images obtained showed that there are temperature differences on the PV panels, which may be attributed to PV material defects, manufacturing faults, external abuse, or PV malfunction.

Language Analysis

Elicited imitation tasks are frequently used as a diagnostic tool in evaluating children with communication handicaps. This article presents a scoring procedure that can be used to obtain an in-depth descriptive analysis of responses produced on elicited imitation tasks. The Elicited Language Analysis Procedure makes it possible to systematically evaluate responses in terms of both their syntactic and semantic relationships to the stimulus sentences presented by the examiner. Response quality measures are also included in the analysis procedure.
