Using a Web-based portfolio assessment system to elevate project-based learning performances

This research aimed at designing and improving the web-based integrated peer and self- assessment. WesPASS (web-based peer-assessment system), developed in this research, allows students to assess their own or their peers’ performance and project assignments and to report about the result of these assessments so that they correct their assignments. This study employed design-based research. The participants included 102 fourth grade primary school students and their 4 teachers from 2 state and 2 private primary schools in Ankara, Kecioren (Turkey) who employed the system and were engaged in a questionnaire survey to assess its quality. The findings were analyzed through quantitative data analysis. The findings revealed that the system can be used by elementary school students for peer and self-assessment system. The participants stated that WesPASS is simple and user-friendly, and it accelerates the assessment process by employing information technology and allows to share opinions

English Instruction

CSIEC (Computer Simulation in Educational Communication), is not only an intelligent web-based human-computer dialogue system with natural language for English instruction, but also a learning assessment system for learners and teachers. Its multiple functions—including grammar-based gap filling exercises, scenario show, free chatting and chatting on a given topic—can satisfy the various requirements for students with different backgrounds and learning abilities. After a brief explanation of the conception of our dialogue system, as well as a survey of related works, we will illustrate the system structure, and describe its pedagogical functions with the underlying AI techniques in detail such as NLP and rule-based reasoning. We will summarize the free Internet usage within a six month period and its integration into English classes in universities and middle schools. The evaluation findings about the class integration show that the chatting function has been improved and frequently utilized by the users, and the application of the CSIEC system on English instruction can motivate the learners to practice English and enhance their learning process. Finally, we will conclude with potential improvements.

Academic Information

In the world of information technology has changed the lifestyle in the aspect of our lives especially in the educational world. E-Raport is an academic information system used to input web-based student value data. The current value data input system is a benchmark for the creation of quality output and able to compete with other schools. One of the benchmarks that can be the competitiveness for other schools is the result of student learning assessments that are handled by each class. Problems that occur in the input of the value of Raport at SDN Sukanagara is currently still a manual that is the value of Raport recorded in the book Raport, so it takes a long time and a lot of energy needed. Research has the purpose of designing a value information system that facilitates the checking, recording and reporting of the computerized value of the students. Computerized Raport value reports can minimize errors in student data processing. This WEB based online raport is very easy data information and can be accessed anytime and anywhere, the system design works to insert and save value Report data and attendance and display info from school. The system uses data collection methods such as interviews, library studies, and system design, which are context diagrams, and prototypes. The information system of online Raport SDN Sukanagara is expected to be able to bring positive impact to the educational world, especially for SDN Sukanagara in the development of information technology applied in the world of education.

Information Technology Curriculum

Currently colleges and universities are facing a number of problems, including ill designed curricula that do not address demands from the job market. There is also tremendous pressure from society on academic institutions to provide an education that results in guaranteed employment, especially given the soaring price of higher education. Currently, a number of academic institutions are facing the problem of grade inflation, which has resulted in the grade point average (GPA) model losing its value (Mansfield, 2001). Therefore, academic educational institutions are looking for alternative ways to provide an education that attracts students in a highly competitive world. Several US academic institutions have adopted the outcome based educational model to move away from the GPA driven model. Furthermore, accreditations organizations (such as North Central Association of Colleges and Schools) are requiring academic institutions to present a method to assess students’ learning outcomes, particularly in the general education courses.

Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk mengetahui keterlaksanaan pembelajaran fisika di MAN pilot project DIY dalam implementasi Kurikulum 2013 berdasarkan latar belakang akademik guru ditinjau dari (1) pemahaman terhadap Kurikulum 2013, (2) perencanaan, (3) pelaksanaan, (4) penilaian, (5) upaya yang dilakukan untuk meningkatkan pemahaman pada implementasi Kurikulum 2013 dan (6) hambatan yang dihadapi pada implementasi Kurikulum 2013. Jenis penelitian ini merupakan penelitian survei dengan pendekatan deskriptif kualitatif dan kuantitatif. Populasi penelitian ini adalah guru fisika kelas X di MAN pilot project DIY yang menerapkan Kurikulum 2013. Teknik pengumpulan data yang digunakan adalah angket, observasi, wawancara dan dokumentasi. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa pemahaman mengenai Kurikulum 2013 berada pada kategori sangat baik. Perencanaan berada pada kategori baik, pelaksanaan berada pada kategori baik, penilaian berada pada kategori baik. Upaya guru fisika di MAN pilot project di DIY yaitu mencari informasi mengenai rasionalisasi kurikulum 2013, pendekatan saintifik, administrasi pembelajaran dan penilaian otentik baik secara mandiri maupun dari kegiatan pelatihan. Hambatan yang dihadapi guru yaitu kurangnya ketersediaan buku/panduan mengenai pendekatan saintifik, guru kesulitan dalam membuat instrumen penilaian portofolio, dan guru belum maksimal dalam memfungsikan instrumen penilaian sikap.Kata Kunci: keterlaksanaan, Kurikulum 2013, latar belakang akademik guru The Feasibility of the Physic Learning Process in Implementing Curriculum 2013 Based on the Teachers’ Academic Background AbstractThis study aims to determine the feasibility of the physic learning process in implementing Curriculum 2013 based on the teachers’ academic background at the pilot project MAN in DIY in terms of (1) understanding of the Curriculum 2013, (2) planning stage, (3) implementation stage, (4) assessment stage, (5) the effort of the phisycs teachers in pilot project MAN to integrat the knowledge about Curriculum 2013 in phisycs learning process; (6) the obstacles found by the phisycs teachers in the implementation of Curriculum 2013.
