Iq Tests

This article employed multivariate graphic techniques to address three issues concerning the use of IQ tests for identifying children with learning and/or language disabilities. The first issue concerns the weakness of the conceptual rationale for models that suggest that IQ directly, influences the attainment of academic and/or language skills. The second issue addresses psychometric issues that relate to the significance of an IQ/attainment difference score. The third issue involves the psychometric limitations of simple comparisons of IQ and attainment scores. This article shows that the historically prominent role of IQ tests for identifying children with learning and/or language disabilities is conceptually and psychometrically unwarranted.

Calculation Procedures

Abstract To obtain the best estimate of the average diameter and number of walls of tubular objects such as carbon nanotubes, which are used as filler materials in composites, both inner and outer diameters must be taken into consideration. The appropriate weighting factor is calculated from the cross-sectional circular shell area. In the case of cylindrical objects, the formulae simplify considerably and the average diameter and wall thickness are the third moment of their distribution function. Two examples illustrate the numerical effects of these calculation procedures.

<p>This research purposes to improve the movements of the fifth graders of the elementary school SD Negeri 1 Panggung Barat Magetan by applying the Gymnastic Video of “SenamKesegaranJasmani (SKJ)” 2012. This is a Classroom Action Research (CAR). The source of data are the fifth graders of SDN I Panggung Barat Magetan as many as 30. Data were collected through tests and observation. They are qualitatively described and the percentage of the distribution is provided. Results show that applying the SKJ video improved the movements of the fifth graders of SDN I Panggung Barat Magetan as indicated by the tests on their movements before and after the application of the video. The descriptive qualitative analysis improvements were visible on the cycle I, II and III in which there were three action meetings. In the first cycle it focused on the warming up, core and cooling-down movements. In the final meeting of the first cycle, a test was administered. In the first cycle it found improvement of 30% out of the 30 students i.e. 9 students. In the second cycle was reflection on the first cycle and another movement was added. In this cycle the emphasis was on the core movements and repeating the warming up and introducing the cooling-down ones. In thi final meeting of this cycle, a test was administered and all students took part. The second cycle witnessed improvement of 60%, 19 out of 30 students. The third cycle was a reflection on the second cycle in addition to another movement introduction. This cycle emphasized on the cooling-down movements and repetition on the warming up and core movements. In the final meeting, a test was administered to know whether or not the students improved. All of them participated. In this cycle it was found improvement of 75%, or 23 out of 30 students. However, there were 25 of them who could perform correctly. The percentage, therefore, changes into 80%. This is higher than the expected one on the third cycle. It is also revealed that 19.4% or 6 students were not able to perform the gymnastic correctly.</p><p> </p><p>Key words: SKJ 2012 Video, Gymnastic Movements<em></em></p>

Not so long ago, Poland was one of the European countries which lacked a research centre which would support museum institutions. Meeting numerous needs, the National Museum in Cracow (NMC) had been sharing the resources of its Laboratory with other museum institutions. This is how the National Centre for Research on Heritage (hereafter the Centre) was founded. Relying on equipment and specialists from the NMC Laboratory, the Centre offers multilateral research on objects and collections to Polish museum institutions. It organises contests which all Polish museums may apply to with their research projects. The Centre focuses on three main activities. Firstly, it carries out technological projects comprising the composition and features of materials used to make works of art. Secondly, there are projects linking technological research with analyses of the state of preservation and environmental conditions in order to safeguard works or sets of art or which are particularly culturally valuable. The third activity consists in joint interdisciplinary expertise with external research units. The Centre has also undertaken its own longterm programme of research into managing the protection of collections in a sustainable and effective way. Within the framework of the programme, methodology and tools for the quantitative assessment of risk are prepared. The development of the National Centre for Research, based on the already existing potential of the NMC, allows the effective usage of collected research equipment and the adaption of its activity to the real needs of museum institutions. At the same time, an important area of the Centre’s activity is the coordination and possibility of using the potential of groups conducting research in the field of heritage at the Polish Academy of Sciences or at higher education institutions. The next goal of the NMC is to expand the Centre’s activity on conservation work.

Basic Concepts

This chapter introduces basic concepts in the field of morphology. In the first section, a morpheme is defined as the smallest unit of meaning in a language. In the second section, morphemes are divided into free and bound types, with bound morphemes further classified as either affixes (prefixes, infixes, suffixes, or circumfixes) or bound roots. This section additionally distinguishes between the role of function words and content words in a sentence. The third section outlines the nine word classes in English: nouns, pronouns, adjectives, determiners, verbs, adverbs, prepositions, conjunctions, and interjections. The final section of the chapter explains the implications of this information for teaching vocabulary, grammar, and language skills. The chapter concludes with questions for discussion and some practice exercises.

The aims of this study were threefold. The first was to identify some of the key methodologies used by teachers to support the language learning of primary-aged children. There is a plethora of literature that discusses various language-teaching methodologies. Whilst educational ‘jargon’ is avoided, there are specific references to academic research and educational terminology that inform and extend the discussion. Every effort is made to link these references to classroom practice. The second aim was to explore how ICT (information and communications technology) can be used to enhance the language skills of primary-aged children. Using ICT is one of three cross-curricular skills that teachers are required to promote as part of the Northern Ireland Curriculum (2007) . The third aim was to evaluate how the use of ICT in primary classrooms enhances the curriculum provided for all the children. In terms of the third aim, the evaluation was based on oral and written feedback from teachers and children, and observations were carried out in classrooms.
