AbstrakPenelitian ini bertujuan untuk mengetahui pengaruh metode penyekoran dan kecemasan tes terhadap ketidakwajaran sekor tes setelah mengontrol pengetahuan awal. Metode penelitian ini adalah eksperimen dengan desain treatment by level 2x2. Penelitian ini dilaksanakan pada MTs Negeri Pandeglang 1, Banten dengan jumlah sampel sebanyak 80 orang siswa yang diambil dengan teknik pengambilan sampel multi stage random sampling. Pengujian hipotesis penelitian dengan menggunakan teknik Analisis Kovarian (ANAKOVA). Hasil penelitian ini menunjukkan bahwa setelah mengontrol pengetahuan awal: (1) indeks ketidakwajaran sekor tes matematika antara kelompok siswa yang di sekor dengan menggunakan metode penalty lebih tinggi daripada kelompok siswa yang di sekor dengan menggunakan metode correct, (2) terdapat pengaruh interaksi antara metode penyekoran tes dan kecemasan tes terhadap indeks ketidakwajaran sekor tes matematika, (3) untuk kelompok siswa yang memiliki kecemasan tes ringan, indeks ketidakwajaran sekor tes matematika antara kelompok siswa yang di sekor dengan menggunakan metode penalty lebih tinggi daripada kelompok siswa yang di sekor dengan menggunakan metode correct, dan (4) untuk kelompok siswa yang memiliki kecemasan tes berat, indeks ketidakwajaran sekor tes matematika antara kelompok siswa yang di sekor dengan menggunakan metode penalty lebih rendah daripada kelompok siswa yang di sekor dengan menggunakan metode correct.AbstractThis study is aimed to determine the effect of scoring method and test anxiety toward inappropriacy index of math test score after controlling the prior knowledge. This research method was experimental design with treatment by level 2x2. The research was conducted at MTs Pandeglang 1, Banten with sample of 80 students were using multi stage random sampling technique. Data analysis was done by using Analysis of Covariance (ANCOVA). The results of this study after controlling prior knowledge showed that: (1) the inappropriacy index of math test scores between groups of students whom are scored using penalty test method is higher than those whom are scored using correct test; (2) there is an interaction effect between scoring method and the test anxiety toward inappropriacy index of math test scores; (3) for the group of students having of anxiety easy test, the inappropriacy index of math test scores between groups of students whom are scored using penalty is higher than those who are scored using correct method; and (4) for the group of students who having of anxiety difficult test, the inappropriacy index of math test scores between groups of students whom are scored using penalty test is lower than those whom are scored using correct.

Consecutive Interpreting

Based on a review of some of the most promising approaches to aptitude testing in the literature this paper proposes a novel task piloted at the Center for Translation Studies of the University of Vienna. The SynCloze test combines an auditory cloze exercise with a task requiring high expressional fluency, that is, rapidly finding contextually appropriate synonymic sentence completions. The rationale and design of the SynCloze test as well as the scoring method, which takes into account both the degree of accuracy and the speed of response, are described. The results of four rounds of testing involving some 120 students in the final stage of their undergraduate studies show that the test effectively discriminates between undergraduate novices and a control group of interpreting students, and students for whom the test language (German) is the A vs. the B language. Most significantly, the test scores correlate, albeit moderately, with students’ performance on an intralingual consecutive interpreting exam at the end of the course.

Cloze Test

AbstractTarget language proficiency assessment has become an integral part of Second Language Acquisition (SLA) research design, with cloze tests frequently serving this purpose for reasons of practicality. Assumptions underlying the interpretation of such cloze test scores, however, are often not examined. With the goal of providing researchers with better means for drawing inferences from cloze test scores, we present an analysis of a combined dataset comprised of scores from 1,724 test takers on a frequently used English cloze test (Brown 1980). We examine variation in score distributions and reliability estimates among L2 groups, between L2 and native-speaker (NS) examinees, and for different scoring methods, and investigate the degree to which different sets of items were effective for classifying low- vs high-proficiency L2 examinees and L2 vs NS test takers. Standardized scores are provided for each scoring method so that future researchers can reference their scores to this larger set.

Six speech and language clinicians, three black and three white, administered the Goodenough Drawing Test (1926) to 144 preschoolers. The four groups, lower socioeconomic black and white and middle socioeconomic black and white, were divided equally by sex. The biracial clinical setting was shown to influence test scores in black preschool-age children.

Purpose Spelling is a skill that relies on an individual's linguistic awareness, the ability to overtly manipulate language. The ability to accurately spell is important for academic and career success into adulthood. The spelling skills of adults have received some attention in the literature, but there is limited information regarding which approach for analyzing adults' spelling is optimal for guiding instruction or intervention for those who struggle. Thus, we aimed to examine the concurrent validity of four different scoring methods for measuring adults' spellings (a dichotomous scoring method and three continuous methods) and to determine whether adults' linguistic awareness skills differentially predict spelling outcomes based on the scoring method employed. Method Sixty undergraduate college students who were determined to be average readers as measured by a word reading and contextual word reading task were administered a spelling task as well as morphological, orthographic, phonemic, and syntactic awareness tasks. Results All four scoring methods were highly correlated suggesting high concurrent validity among the measures. Two linguistic awareness skills, morphological awareness and syntactic awareness, predicted spelling performance on both the dichotomous and continuous scoring methods. Contrastively, phonemic awareness and orthographic awareness predicted spelling performance only when spelling was scored using a continuous measure error analysis. Conclusions The results of this study confirm that multiple linguistic awareness skills are important for spelling in adults who are average readers. The results also highlight the need for using continuous measures of spelling when planning intervention or instruction, particularly in the areas of orthographic and phonemic awareness.

Abstract Learning to listen and speak are well-established preludes for reading, writing, and succeeding in mainstream educational settings. Intangibles beyond the ubiquitous test scores that typically serve as markers for progress in children with hearing loss are embedded in descriptions of the educational and social development of four young women. All were diagnosed with severe-to-profound or profound hearing loss as toddlers, and all were fitted with hearing aids and given listening and spoken language therapy. Compiling stories across the life span provides insights into what we can be doing in the lives of young children with hearing loss.

The Relationship

Summary: The Gudjonsson Compliance Scale (GCS), the COPE Scale, and the Rosenberg Self-Esteem Scale were administered to 212 men and 212 women. Multiple regression of the test scores showed that low self-esteem and denial coping were the best predictors of compliance in both men and women. Significant sex differences emerged on all three scales, with women having lower self-esteem than men, being more compliant, and using different coping strategies when confronted with a stressful situation. The sex difference in compliance was mediated by differences in self-esteem between men and women.
