<p><strong>Abstrak</strong></p><p>Pengembangan Kurikulum 2013 berbasis kompetensi diharapkan dapat meningkatkan kualitas peserta didik. Penilaian bertujuan untuk menilai perilaku peserta didik di dalam maupun di luar pembelajaran. Tujuan penulisan artikel untuk menguraikan pentingnya rubrik penilaian dalam pengukuran kejujuran peserta didik di SMA. Apabila efektivitas pengajaran kejujuran dapat dilakukan, maka akan menjadi landasan yang kuat untuk bangsa. Kejujuran merupakan salah satu sikap sosial. Penilaian kejujuran dapat dilakukan menggunakan observasi, penilaian diri, penilaian teman sejawat, serta jurnal. Instrumen yang digunakan pada jurnal berupa catatan pendidik. Sedangkan untuk observasi, penilaian diri, dan penilaian antarpeserta didik menggunakan instrumen berupa daftar cek atau skala penilaian yang disertai rubrik. Rubrik adalah alat penilaian yang memiliki deskripsi kinerja yang diharapkan setiap kriteria untuk mencapai nilai tertentu. Rubrik bisa analitik, holistik maupun keduanya yang dikombinasikan. Rubrik bermanfaat bagi peserta didik dan juga pendidik.</p><p> </p><p><strong><em>Abstract</em></strong></p><p><em>Competency-based 2013 curriculum development hopes to improve the quality of students, The assessment aims to assess the behavior of students inside and outside of learning. The purpose of this article was to describe the importance of assessment rubrics in measuring the honesty of students in high school. If the effectiveness of teaching honesty can be carried out, it will create a strong foundation for the nation. Honesty is a social attitude. Assessment of honesty can be done using observation, self-assessment, peer assessment, and journals. The instrument used in the journal was in the form of educator notes. As for observation, self-assessment, and assessment among students using instruments in the form of a checklist or rating scale accompanied by a rubric. A rubric is an assessment tool that has a description of the expected performance of each criterion to achieve a certain value. Rubrics can be analytical, holistic, or both. A rubric is useful for students and educators.</em></p>

Abstract Background High quality health promotion (HP) depends on a competent workforce for which professional development programmes for practitioners are essential. The “CompHP Core Competencies Framework in HP” defines crucial competency domains but a recent review concluded that the implementation and use of the framework is lacking. The aim was to develop and validate a self-assessment tool for HP competencies, which should help evaluate training courses. Methods A brief self-assessment tool was employed in 2018 in Austria. 584 participants of 77 training courses submitted their post-course assessment (paper-pencil, RR = 78.1%). In addition, longitudinal data are available for 148 participants who filled in a pre-course online questionnaire. Measurement reliability and validity was tested by single factor, bifactor, multigroup, and multilevel CFA. A SEM proved for predictive and concurrent validity, controlling gender and age. Results A bifactor model (X2/df=3.69, RMSEA=.07, CFI=.95, sRMR=.07) showed superior results with a strong general CompHP factor (FL&gt;.65, wH=.90, ECV=.85), configurally invariant for two training programmes. On course level, there was only minimal variance between trainings (ICC&lt;.08). Structurally, there was a significant increase in HP competencies when comparing pre- and post-course measurements (b=.33, p&lt;.01). Participants showed different levels of competencies due to prior knowledge (b=.38, p&lt;.001) and course format (b=.16, p&lt;.06). The total scale had good properties (m = 49.8, sd = 10.3, 95%-CI: 49.0-50.7) and discriminated between groups (eg by training length). Conclusions The results justify the creation of an overall scale to assess core HP competencies. It is recommended to use the scale for evaluating training courses. The work compensates for the lack of empirical studies on the CompHP concept and facilitates a broader empirical application of a uniform competency framework for HP in accordance with international standards in HP and public health. Key messages The self-assessment tool provides a good and compact foundation for assessing HP competencies. It provides a basis for holistic, high quality and sustainable capacity building or development in HP.

Abstract Background To compare the validation of four tools for identifying painful new osteoporotic vertebral compression fractures (PNOVCFs) in older Chinese men: bone mineral density (BMD), Asian osteoporosis self-assessment tool (OSTA), World Health Organization fracture risk assessment tool (FRAX) (without BMD) and Beijing Friendship Hospital Osteoporosis Self-Assessment Tool (BFH-OSTM). Methods A cross sectional study was conducted from 2013 to 2019. A total of 846 men aged ≥50 were included and were divided into two groups: Fracture Group (patients with PNOVCFs underwent percutaneous vertebroplasty surgery) and Non-Fracture Group (community dwelled subjects for healthy examination). All subjects accepted a dual-energy X-ray BMD test and a structured questionnaire. The results of BMD, OSTA, FRAX and BFH-OSTM scores were assessed and receiver-operating characteristic (ROC) curves were generated to compare the validity of four tools for identifying PNOVCFs. Optimal cutoff points, sensitivity, specificity, and areas under the ROC curves (AUCs) were determined. Results There were significant differences including BMD T score (femoral neck, total hip and L1-L4), OSTA, FRAX and BFH-OSTM scores between Fracture group and Non-fracture group. Compared to BMD and OSTA, BFH-OSTM and FRAX had better predictive value, the sensitivity, specificity and AUC value are 0.841, 81.29%, 70.67% and 0.796, 74.85%, 78.52%, respectively. Compared with FRAX, the BFH-OSTM has a better AUC value. Conclusions Both BFH-OSTM and FRAX can be used to identify POVCFs, However, BFH-OSTM model may be a more simple and effective tool to identify the risk of POVCFs in Chinese elderly men.

Medical schools are committed to both students and society to develop capabilities required to succeed in health care environments. Present diagnosis and treatment methods become obsolete faster, demanding that medical schools incorporate competency-based education to keep pace with future demands. This study was conducted to assess the problem solving disposition of medical students. A three-subcategory model of the skill is proposed. The instrument was validated on content by a group of 17 experts in medical education and applied to 135 registered students on the sixth year of the M.D. Physician Surgeon program at a private medical school. Cronbach’s alpha indicated an internal consistency of 0.751. The findings suggest that selected items have both homogeneity and validity. The factor analysis resulted in components that were associated with three problem-solving subcategories. The students’ perceptions are higher in the pattern recognition and application of general strategies for problem solving subcategories of the Problem solving disposition model.
