<p>The main objective of this research was to develop and validate the quality of an assessment tool for evaluating the mathematical reading, analytical thinking, and mathematical writing skills of fourth-grade students. We randomly selected 222 fourth grade students across multiple schools of varying sizes to take the assessment. Multidimensional Random Coefficients Multinomial Item Response Model was applied to validate the quality of the developed assessment tool. A design-based research methodology was adopted to develop the assessment tool encompassing four phases as follows: 1) analyze how students solve mathematical problems; 2) develop the assessment tool; 3) validation of the tool; and 4) reflection. The results of this research indicate that the assessment tool consisting of 19 items and two dimensions is a reliable and valid metric to measure mathematical reading, mathematical writing and analytical ability of fourth graders. The Likelihood-Ratio test showed that the multidimensional model fits better in comparison to the unidimensional model. It can be concluded that each item is qualified to assess the students and relevant to the developed dimensional examination structure.</p>

This study intends to design and verify the quality of a model that measures mathematical proficiency and aims to set the standards in measuring levels of proficiency in the subjects of measurement and geometry. Construct modeling was employed to design a mathematical proficiency measurement model which consists of the mathematical process and the dimensions of a conceptual structure. A total of 517 Secondary Year 1 students were selected from the big data to participate as test-takers. Design-based research encompassing four phases was used to verify the quality of the mathematical proficiency measurement model. A Multidimensional Random Coefficient Multinomial Logit model was used to examine the standards-setting of the mathematical proficiency measurement model. The results indicated that the two dimensions of mathematical proficiency can be further divided into five levels, from non-response/irrelevance to strategic/extended thinking and extended abstract structure for mathematical process and conceptual structural dimensions, respectively. The assessment tool covers 18 items with 15 multiple-choice items and three subjective items in measurement and geometry. Moreover, the results also demonstrated that the validity evidence associated with the internal structure of the multidimensional model is fit. Besides, reliability evidence, as well as item fit, is compliance with the quality of the mathematical proficiency measurement model as illustrated in analysis of the standard error of measurement and infit and outfit of the items. Finally, the researchers managed to set standards for the mathematical proficiency measurement model based on the assessment criterion results from the Wright Map. In conclusion, the standards-setting of the mathematical proficiency measurement model provides substantial information, particularly for measuring those students who are above the lowest level of mathematical proficiency because the error for estimating proficiency was low.

General Quality

The aim of this paper is to examine secondary education learners’ performance in L2 writing production using the complexity, accuracy, and fluency constructs. Results show that the measures of fluency, accuracy, grammatical and lexical complexity progress in a significant way: fourth grade students outperform first graders in the aforementioned measures. Secondly, fewer correlations between the writing measures used and the general quality of the compositions are found among the older students than among the younger ones, indicating that the correlations change depending on learners’ age. Thirdly, 1st year students exhibit a higher ratio of errors, both in general and also by error category, although only two types decrease significantly in 4th year students: syntactic and spelling errors. Lastly, we find that errors tend to develop in a non-linear way.

The research background was based on observations at MI Uyun Al-hikam Prajegan, Sukorejo Ponorogo, the quality of Arabic language learning was still under the KKM The research aims to find out there is an effect of the application of the drill method to the results of Uyun Al-Hikam's fourth grade students' learning achievement. This research is Classroom Action Research (CAR) as the object of research is fourth grade students of MI Uyun Al-hikam in the form of cycle research procedures referring to four components including planning, acting observing, and reflecting and the data collection techniques use observation and tests. The results showed that the use of the drill method in Arabic language lessons could improve student learning based on the recapitulation of student test the results from cycle 1 and 2 percentage of KKM students increased to 75% which previously only 50% and from 75% only 3 students had not yet reached KKM value is 71 out of 12 students.

Counseling is an effort to provide information and explanations, which must be taken by everyone so thatthey can solve the problems they face and improve the quality of life. To facilitate counseling activities,mediais needed. Media is an effort that can be used to channel messages from senders to recipients so that they canstimulate thoughts, feelings, attention and interests in maintaining optimal health. This study aims todetermine the description of counseling with poster and animation media on knowledge about dental healthcare in fourth grade students of SDN 050736 Pulau Banyak, Tanjung Pura sub district, amounting to 30peoples with a total sample of 30 students. The type of research used was descriptive with the survey method.The results of this study found that the level of knowledge of students about maintaining dental health beforecounseling with poster and animation media, namely 23 peoples (76.6%) were in the medium category. Thenafter counseling the level of knowledge of students about maintaining dental health with media posters has agood level of knowledge there were 8 students (53.3%) and with animation media have good level ofknowledge, there were 15 students (100%). Based on this research, it can be seen that counseling usinganimation media was more effective than using poster media.

Students’ explanations of their mathematical thinking and conclusions have become a greater part of the assessment landscape in recent years. With a sample of 71 fourth-grade students at risk for mathematics learning disabilities, we investigated the relation between student accuracy in comparing the magnitude of fractions and the quality of students’ explanations of those comparisons, as well as the relation between those measures and scores on a criterion test: released fraction items from the National Assessment of Educational Progress. We also considered the extent to which reasoning and language contribute to the prediction. Results indicated a significant moderate correlation between accuracy and explanation quality. Commonality analyses indicated that explanation quality accounts for little variance in National Assessment of Educational Progress scores beyond what is accounted for by traditional measures of magnitude understanding. Implications for instruction and assessment are discussed.
