The Trail Making Test (TMT) is widely used in neuropsychological practice as part of a battery for detecting neuropsychological dysfunction. A comprehensive review published by Horton in 1979, focused on adult performance. A critical evaluation of research investigating the use of this test in children is presented here. No clear set of instructions for test use is available for children and, while some aspects of neuropsychological function are similar for adults and children, other factors set these groups apart. Norms are not readily available for children and the relationship of test performance to age, education level and IQ in adults suggests that these are critical variables, particularly in South Africa.

This study was designed to analyze the relationship  of students’ learning motivation and their academic performances in science. The study made use of 21 junior and senior Biological Science students to conclude on the formulated research problems. The respondents had a good to very good motivation in learning science. In general, the extent of their motivation do not vary across their sex, age, and curriculum year. Moreover, the respondents had good academic performances in science. Aptly, extrinsic motivation was found to be related with their academic performances among the indicators of motivations in learning science.

The article discusses the study of the relationship of ADHD in children and adults with their learning motivation at the neurological and behavioral levels. On the basis of the results of research presented in modern foreign literature, two categories of reasons for the decline in learning motivation among students with ADHD are identified: external and internal. The purpose of this article is to emphasize that the system of motivation in patients with ADHD has deeper impairments than is commonly believed due to neurological disorders of the brain, as well as complex social problems, and present these results as an explanation of motivational and educational problems faced by students with ADHD. The article also presents possible directions for coordinating the reasons for the decline in academic motivation in ADHD and psychological theories of its formation (SDT, AGT and SCT). The possibilities of applying these theories for psychological and pedagogical solutions to the problems of motivation among students with ADHD are shown. The results of the analysis of the reviewed scientific papers indicate the need for a comprehensive account of the factors that reduce motivation in developing a system of recommendations for students with ADHD – for organizing their learning environment and planning the individual trajectory of their development.

This paper addresses the issue of whether it is appropriate for universities or junior colleges to set foreign language proficiency requirements for graduation and offers a historical review of the relationship of test validity and test use. Examples of how to evaluate the appropriateness and consequences of test use are presented in order to discover what factors must be taken into account that contributes to the decision-making process. Finally, a model that specifies what evidence needs to be collected in support of a valid test decision is offered to help make decisions of test use more convincing and accordingly more beneficial to those individuals and groups who are affected by the tests.

Abstrak: Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk mengetahui hubungan motivasi belajar dengan hasil belajar mahasiswa angkatan 2015 prodi fisika pada mata kuliah mekanika. Jenis penelitian ini termasuk dalam penelitian korelasional yang bertujuan untuk melihat hubungan antara dua variabel. Dalam penelitian ini terdapat dua variabel, yaitu variabel bebas (Independent Variable) motivasi belajar (X) dan variabel terikat (Dependent Variable) yaitu hasil belajar mahasiswa pada mata kuliah mekanika (Y). Populasi yang digunakan pada penelitian ini adalah semua mahasiswa prodi pendidikan fisika. Sampel penelitiannya adalah seluruh mahasiswa prodi fisika angkatan 2015 yang mengambil mata kuliah mekanika. Data hasil belajar dikumpulkan dengan tes hasil belajar berbentuk tes essay dan motivasi belajar dikumpulkan dengan bentuk angket motivasi. Data dianalisis menggunakan Product Moment yang dikembangkan Karl Pearson dengan bantuan SPSS. Analisis selanjutnya mencari koefisien determinasi di mana rumus yang digunakan adalah rumus “Coefficient of Determination”. Analisis terakhir adalah mencari makna hubungan variable X terhadap Y dengan pengujian lanjutan yaitu uji signifikansi. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan terdapat hubungan yang positif (kuat) antara motivasi belajar dengan hasil belajar yang dapat dilihat dari nilai koefisien korelasi sebesar 0,745. Besar hubungan variabel motivasi belajar dengan hasil belajar adalah sebesar 55,50% yang dilihat dari nilai koefisien determinasinya. Uji signifikansi menunjukkan nilai t hitung lebih besar dari t tabel (3,162,262) yang berarti terdapat hubungan yang signifikan antara motivasi belajar dengan hasil belajar. Abstract: This study aims to determine the relationship of learning motivation with learning physics student outcomes class 2015 studies in the subject of mechanics. This type of research is included in correlational research that aims to know the relationship between two variables. In this study there are two variables, that is independent variable (learning motivation) and dependent variable (student learning outcomes in the subject of mechanics). The population used in this study were all students physics education program.

The next analysis looks for the coefficient of determination in which the formula used is the "Coefficient of Determination" formula. The last analysis is to find the meaning of relationship variable X to Y with advanced testing is the test of significance. The results showed there was a positive (strong) relationship between learning motivation and learning outcomes that can be seen from the correlation coefficient of 0.745. Great relationship of learning motivation variable with learning result is equal to 55,50% which seen from determination coefficient value. Test significance shows the value of t arithmetic greater than t table (3.16 2.262) which means there is a significant relationship between learning motivation and learning outcomes.
