An authentic assessment is expected to have a positive impact on students' learning and motivation. One strategy to provide practical assessment for authentic tasks is by engaging the students to the community where they are familiar and comfortable. The students� involvement in community services is able to effectively provide vibrant existence information for improving the sense of responsibility among students before they become part of the community. However, evidence from the community services� activities complicated the assessment process where many documents need to be checked and verified. In our work, we designed an online authentic assessment framework of students� involvement in the community activities in terms of the affective domain. The affective domain addresses the grasp of attitudes and values that fuels teaching and learning (T&L) processes. Our assessment tool aims to provide a clear assessment guideline to evaluate the students� ability on analyzing real issues. It also makes the assessment process easier where the evaluation materials can be assembled, previewed, edited and published instantly through online. We hope that the incorporation of student involvement in community services into course assessment shall make the learning process more inspiring.

Assessment is a crucial aspect of any teaching and learning process. New tools such as educational games offer promising advantages: they can personalize feedback to students and save educators time by automating the assessment process. However, while many teachers agree that educational games increase motivation, learning, and retention, few are ready to fully trust them as an assessment tool. A likely reason behind this lack of trust is that educational games are distributed as black boxes, unmodifiable by educators and not providing enough insight about the gameplay. This chapter presents three systematic literature reviews looking into the integration of assessment, feedback, and learning analytics in educational games. It then proposes a framework and present a fully developed engine. The engine is used by both developers and educators. Designed to separate game and assessment, it allows teachers to modify the assessment after distribution and visualize gameplay data via a learning analytics dashboard.

INTRODUCTION: This is a brief of a year-long evaluative study and service analysis undertaken by Disability Support Link (DSL), Waikato DHB.APPROACH: This briefing provides an insight into the evaluative study on the associated impact of cessation of community day services which are key components within the disability sector’s service provision. These day services provide an integral outlet of meaningful activities for disabled adults whose current needs impact on their employment. The focus was on analysing repository information over the last decade. The data sources include documented narratives from the needs assessment process and longitudinal resourcing information. In addition, contemporary literature on the role of day activity centres were sourced to identify similar work within this area. The subsequent findings were submitted to the Ministry of Health of Aotearoa New Zealand.FINDINGS: An association was found between service users’ lack of access to day services and initial short-term savings to publicly funded disability services budget. However, initial savings were essentially overshadowed by subsequent, increasing, costs over time. There are also associated impacts on disabled adults, such as reports of increasing isolation, decreasing sense of meaningful structured day activities, declining daily functions and possibly resultant maladaptive behaviours. Notably, these issues are not just about funding and resourcing as they impact on disabled people’s rights and social connections.CONCLUSION: This study indicates that cessation and or reduction of day community services derived initial short-term cost savings but subsequent long-term increased support needs requires more costly support packages. Future efficacy lies in further reviewing the positive impact of health-related community day services for people with disabilities; an iteration of day service contracts that produces meaning to the individual and cost efficiency to public health spending.

Abstract.ASSESSMENT OF PROSPECTIVE TEACHERS ABOUT AFFECTIVE DOMAIN IN NATURE FIELD TRIPS AS TEACHING AND LEARNING ACTIVITIESScience field trips of students have a positive impact about learning-teaching of Biology and Geology area. Nevertheless, few teachers carry out such activities in the right way. One reason could be the lack of studies concerning to activities focusing in the cognitive and affective teacher domains, especially in the first step of teacher education. Preliminary studies of our research group have shown that future teachers have wrong pedagogical concepts about these activities, sometimes related to their own experience as students. We study the assessment of prospective teachers about affective domain in nature field trips as teaching and learning activities. We analyzed 130 prospective teachers, 81 primary prospective teachers and 49 secondary prospective teachers. We use a single reflection on the merits of the science field trips with respect to the classroom. These prospective teachers were very much in agreement with the importance of these activities in enhancing their pupils’ affective domain. The 49.22% reported that science field trips generated improvements in the affective domain. Although this percentage is higher in secondary prospective teachers than primary prospective teachers (55.10% vs. 49.68%), the differences were not significant. No significant differences were found regarding gender of prospective teachers. Currently when it dominates a negative view of science among students is an important role for these activities. Therefore it is necessary to work these science field trip in-prospective teachers as they play a key role in the teaching and learning of these subjectsKeywords: Science field trip; affective domain; Teaching and learning activities; teacher training.Resumen.Las salidas al medio natural son de gran importancia en la enseñanza-aprendizaje de la Biología y Geología. Sin embargo, todavía son pocos los profesores que integran estas actividades en su docencia y en muchos casos lo hacen de forma poco provechosa. Además, apenas hay estudios centrados en el dominio cognitivo y afectivo de los profesores en este campo, y en particular durante las primeras etapas de su formación. Existe, por tanto, una carencia de información sobre la realización de estas actividades. Estudios preliminares de nuestro grupo de investigación han mostrado que los futuros docentes presentan concepciones pedagógicas erróneas e irreflexivas sobre estas actividades, a veces relacionadas con su propia experiencia como alumnos. Estudiamos la valoración por los profesores en formación del dominio afectivo en las salidas al medio natural como actividades de enseñanza-aprendizaje. Analizamos 130 profesores en formación, 81 profesores en formación de educación primaria y 49 de secundaría. Utilizamos una reflexión individual sobre las ventajas de las salidas al medio real con respecto a las aulas. El 49,22% señalaron que las salidas al medio natural generaban mejoras en el plano afectivo. Aunque este porcentaje es más alto en los profesores de secundaria que los de primaria (55,10% vs. 49,68%), las diferencias no fueron significativas. Tampoco se detectaron diferencias significativas en cuanto al género de los profesores. Actualmente cuando domina una visión negativa de las ciencias entre el alumnado es importante el papel de estas actividades. Por tanto es necesario trabajar estas salidas al medio natural en profesores en formación pues juegan un papel fundamental en la enseñanza-aprendizaje de estas asignaturasPalabras clave: salidas al medio natural, emociones, formación del profesorado, enseñanza aprendizaje del medio natural

The Impact

Turning to the new educational paradigm, the research paper considers the conditions for ensuring the effective-ness of authentic assessment of students ' achievements within the competence approach and the transition from traditional knowledge control to tests developed on the basis of the theory of pedagogical measurements. Special attention is paid to independent assessment as a tool for stimulating learning activities, as well as to the justifica-tion of the pattern design method used in the develop-ment of measurement tools. The experimental basis of the study is based on the results of an independent assess-ment of educational achievements of students of the sen-ior level of secondary vocational education in social studies in several educational organizations. As a result of the survey of participants in independent testing, the formation of a stable positive learning motivation is not-ed. The relationship with the assessment of the impact on educational motivation is confirmed by the respondents ' attitude to the authentic assessment procedure on the part of participants in the assessment process: school-children, teachers, and parents. As a result, it was re-vealed that all subjects of the educational process evalu-ate the impact of the proposed method of assessment on educational motivation from a positive side.

The Subject

In an ideal world, assessment should be synonymous with effective learning and reflect the intricacies of the subject area. It should also be aligned with the ideals of education: to provide equitable opportunities for all students to achieve and to allow both appropriate differentiation for varied contexts and students and comparability across various contexts and students. This challenge is made more difficult in circumstances in which the contexts are highly heterogeneous, for example in the state of Queensland, Australia. Assessment in music challenges schooling systems in unique ways because teaching and learning in music are often naturally differentiated and diverse, yet assessment often calls for standardization. While each student and teacher has individual, evolving musical pathways in life, the syllabus and the system require consistency and uniformity. The challenge, then, is to provide diverse, equitable, and quality opportunities for all children to learn and achieve to the best of their abilities. This chapter discusses the designing and implementation of large-scale curriculum as experienced in secondary schools in Queensland, Australia. The experiences detailed explore the possibilities offered through externally moderated school-based assessment. Also discussed is the centrality of system-level clarity of purpose, principles and processes, and the provision of supportive networks and mechanisms to foster autonomy for a diverse range of music educators and contexts. Implications for education systems that desire diversity, equity, and quality are discussed, and the conclusion provokes further conceptualization and action on behalf of students, teachers, and the subject area of music.

Social media applications have been increasingly gaining significant attention from online education and training platforms. Social networking tools provide multiple advantages for communicating, exchanging opinions, and discussing specific issues. Social media also helps to improve the processes of teaching and learning through sharing educational programs. In this study, we used a quantitative research technique based on the partial least-squares (PLS) linear regression method to determine the influence of using social media as an online discussion and communication platform for academic purposes by assessing the relationships among the skills obtained through social media, the usage of social media, and the purpose of social media. A total of 200 students participated in this study (88% female and 12% males), and a purposive sampling technique was used to select a suitable population for the study. The results show that 61.5% of the participants use the web daily for more than five hours, mainly for social communication (meaningful dialog and discussion skills) and entertainment. The students agreed that social media develops their creative thinking, but it has no positive impact on their academic performance.

The Impact

High failure and dropout rates are reported in introductory programming (IP) courses in different studies despite extensive research attempting to address the issue. In this study, we introduced an ADRI (Approach, Deployment, Result, Improvement) approach in the teaching and learning process of an IP course to improve learning and success rates. All three entities of the didactic triangle (student, instructor, and content) were involved in the research to better understand and execute the proposed approach. The IP course materials were redesigned based on the ADRI approach, and an editor was developed to promote the new approach and encourage students to complete the various stages required in the approach. Two surveys were conducted, and final exam grades over four semesters were compared with determine the impact of including the ADRI approach in the course. We concluded that the ADRI approach provides a positive impact on outcomes that the students achieved during the course. It engages students in practicing their programming skills and provides a new presentation style for examples and exercises which discourages students from taking programming shortcuts. It not only helps to reduce the failure and, significantly, the dropout rates from the IP course but also impacts positively on all students who passed the IP course.

This study was conducted to determine the effectiveness of instructional aids in the teaching and learning (T&L) of Principles of Accounting among form four students. This is quasi-experimental study involving 60 form four students in a secondary school in Klang, Selangor. The instructional aids utilized are concept charts, brief notes, powerpoint slides and supported by the text book. Pre-test and post-test were conducted to assess students’ performance before and after the treatment. The findings of the study found that the performance of experimental group is significantly better than the control group using the traditional approach. Consequently, the positive impact of using various aids in T&Lcannot be denied. Teachers should take the time to incorporate instructional aids in T&L to assist students learning. School administrator must provide the facilities required to encourage teachers to employ instructional aids in T&L.
