Assessment is for collecting, reporting, gathering information about student learning outcomes. In conducting the assessment, there are appropriate techniques for measuring child development. This research is a descriptive qualitative research involving teachers. Data were analyzed qualitatively by collecting data, displaying data and drawing conclusions. The conclusions obtained from several assessment techniques studied were based on a combination of several theories, the results showed that several assessment techniques had been fulfilled, including: the observation assessment technique for children's learning outcomes. however, there are also assessment techniques that are not carried out by teachers on a daily basis, such as the absence of anecdotal notes, children's development scales, and assessment of portfolios. Some of the assessment procedures carried out are formulating or defining activities, preparing assessment tools or techniques, define the assessment criteria, and determine the value. However, there is one procedure that has not been fulfilled, namely collecting data, educators are lacking in collecting data on children's learning outcomes. The principles of assessment in TK Pratama Kids Sukabumi Bandar Lamoung, the teacher have carried out the principles of assessment such as carrying out a thorough, sustainable, oriented, objective, educating and sustainable way. However, there are several principles of assessment that have not been maximized, namely being objective when assessing students.

This study aims to analyze online-based learning during the Covid 19 pandemic and the role of parents during the online learning process. This research was conducted at private SD Yaspenhan-1 Medan Marelan. This research uses qualitative research methods based on descriptive studies. The data was collected by means of interview techniques, observation and documentation study. Data analysis through data presentation techniques and drawing conclusions. Test the validity of the data using tringulation and methods. The results showed that online-based learning at the Private SD Yaspenhan-1 Medan Marelan made effective online-based learning media such as what app, e-learning, Google Class Room, zoom and other applications. The role of parents in online-based learning is very significant to improve learning outcomes. This role is in the form of supervision of children's learning activities at home. Without supervision, it will be difficult to maximize children's learning outcomes.

Purpose: Parental support is essential in achieving pupils’ learning outcomes. The purpose of this article is to discuss how parental involvement in pupils’ learning programmes influences pupils’ learning outcomes. The study was conducted in public Early Childhood centres in Nairobi City County, Kenya, to investigate the influence of parental involvement in pupils’ learning programmes on children’s learning outcomes. The problem is that, despite that parents have a responsibility and an influence in the education of their children, not all parents are involved in the learning programmes at the early childhood centres. The objectives of the study were to assess the extent of parental involvement in pupils’ learning programmes and to determine the influence of parental involvement in children’s learning programmes on learning outcomes.Methodology: The study employed descriptive survey targeting the 21 public stand-alone early childhood education centres, 2243 children aged 3-5 years, 21 head teachers and all teachers at the learning centres. Quantitative and qualitative data was collected by using structured interview schedules for head teachers, closed questionnaires for teachers and document analysis guide to process pupils’ learning outcomes (performance).  Records of Pupils of PP1 and PP2 levels from each centre were simple randomly sampled for review. By purposive sampling, 48 teachers were sampled, at least one teacher for each of the levels from the 21 institutions. The study employed, means, percentages and the coefficients in the analysis of the data.Findings: The study revealed that 38.1 percent of the learning centres had parents who gave less than 50 percent of the expected support and that centres that involved parents in the learning programmes had higher learning outcomes. The conclusion is that parental involvement in the education of their children leads to high learning outcomes.Unique contribution to theory, practice and policy: The study recommended that The County Government should develop and implement a policy to support establishment and enforcement of a framework through which parents can work in partnership with the teachers at the learning centres. There is need for government instituted structures for sensitization of the parents on their role in the education of their children.

In laboratory-based research, children recognize who is an expert and demonstrate an interest in learning from that person. However, children prefer positive information in the moment and sometimes prioritize positivity over expertise. To what extent do these social judgments (e.g., a preference for positivity) relate to information that children remember? We investigated the relation between these judgments and memory at a local science center to better understand children’s learning outcomes in naturalistic settings. We examined the extent to which 4- to 8-year-olds accepted facts about an unfamiliar animal from a zookeeper informant (i.e., expert) and a maternal figure (i.e., non-expert) when these facts were positive, negative, or neutral. Children endorsed positive information as correct, regardless of expertise, but demonstrated the strongest memory for neutral information. We discuss the implications of this dissociation for learning outcomes in naturalistic contexts as well as theoretical frameworks regarding children’s learning from others.

PurposeTo combat poverty in China's rural areas, Chinese government has established an unconditional cash transfer program known as the Rural Minimum Living Standard Guarantee (Rural Dibao) Program. Interestingly, despite the importance of education in breaking cycles of poverty, little is known about Rural Dibao's impact on rural children's education. This study investigates Rural Dibao's impact on rural children's learning outcomes by first examining targeting issues within the program, exploring a causal relationship between Rural Dibao and learning outcomes, and then exploring potential mechanisms and heterogeneous effects.Design/methodology/approachFixed effects model and propensity score weighting method and data from China Family Panel Studies (CFPS) from the years 2010 and 2014 were used.FindingsThe results suggest that the Rural Dibao program suffers from high levels of targeting error, yet is still effective (i.e., program transfers generally still go to people in need). The fixed effects and propensity score weighting models find that program participation raises rural children's standardized test scores in CFPS Chinese-language and math tests. In investigating mechanisms, increased education expenditure seems to connect Rural Dibao participation to increased learning results. The heterogeneity analysis shows that poorer, non-eastern, not left behind, younger or male children benefit from the program (while others have no effect).Originality/valueThese findings suggest that Rural Dibao participation boosts rural children's learning, which could indicate a long-term anti-poverty effect, and that if the program can resolve targeting problems, this effect could be even greater.
