<p>The debate on how best to assess clinic, or indeed if it should be assessed at all has raged for decades and shows no sign of abating. The passage of time has been unable to resolve the question of assessment, no doubt due in part to the expansion and diversification of clinical legal education. The scope of clinic and its role in both society and as a teaching method is constantly evolving and assessment methods must develop to reflect the ever changing clinical profile. In an attempt to bring its assessment regime up to date, in 2007/2008 Northumbria University’s Student Law Office modified its assessment regime, replacing outmoded criteria with grade descriptors. This paper focuses on the use of grade descriptors and criterion referenced assessment in clinical legal education, addressing whether clinic should be assessed and which of the two methods is best suited to clinical legal education. The article draws on the experiences of clinicians and students to determine what issues this change in assessment regime has raised for the assessors and the student body. It concludes that it is appropriate to assess clinic by fully grading and suggests grade descriptors are the way forward.</p>

<p>This paper discusses issues surrounding reflection, and assessment of reflection, in clinical legal education. The first section of the paper examines what reflection is and why it plays an important role in learning. It considers the educational theory underlying reflection and how this can help to inform the way in which reflection is employed in individual programmes. Suggestions are noted for how to encourage students to reflect. There is discussion of issues concerning assessment of reflection including whether it is acceptable to assess reflection at all, and if so, how fair and consistent assessment might be achieved given its inherently subjective nature.</p><p>The second section of the paper discusses a case study on assessment of reflective work within the clinical law programme at Northumbria University. The study considers the implications of current assessment methods and whether they achieve acceptable levels of consistency between markers.</p>

Teaching method acts as a fundamental catalyst of engineering the students learning at all levels. The present research explores the effect of lecture and word wall approaches on elementary level students in their academics with respect to their conceptual comprehension. The purpose of the study was pre-testing and post-testing experimental research that is equivalent group, while in the sample of study 50 students from class 5 were divided into two categories: 25 students in control and experimental classes.The data was collected through pretest and posttest in the form of written tests from students on weekly basis, which was analyzed via ANCOVA using SPSS. The results show that a modern teaching method, i.e. the word-wall, and a high conceptual understanding, enhances the performance of students in the experimental group. It also recommended that the students retain academic principles using modern assessment methods, adopt new teaching strategies and provide cognitive training.

The aim of this Virtual Exchange (VE) project was to bring together students from the Andrássy Gyula German speaking university (AUB) in Budapest, Hungary, and Lucian Blaga University in Sibiu (LBUS), Romania, in order for them to get to know their neighbors and reflect on the way the end of WWI is remembered 100 years later. In this case study, we discuss the way we conceived the three iterations of the VE (2018-2020), the challenges we faced on different levels, as well as the value of this teaching method for the academic field of history.

Abstract: The teaching medium is a knowledge of the teaching methods used by a teacher or instructor. Methods are the means used to achieve the established goals. Another technique is the presentation technique that is mastered by the teacher to teach or present the lesson materials to the students in the classroom, so that the lesson can be absorbed, understood and used by the students well. The better the teaching method, the more effective the achievement of the goal. Motivation is a change of energy within a person characterized by the emergence of "feeling and preceded by the response to the purpose, to get it then must be selected methods that if acceptable in teaching and learning activities well. In fact, the way or method of teaching used to convey different information in the way adopted to establish students in mastering knowledge, skills and attitudes (cognitive, psychomotoric, affective). Specific methods of teaching in the classroom, the effectiveness of a method is influenced by the purpose, student factors, situation factors, and teacher factor itself. Demonstration is a teaching method done by a teacher or someone else by showing the whole class about a process or a way of doing something. Demonstrations are always directed to the correct way of practice which is then Apliskasikan in everyday life. And recitation is also one of the learning media known as homework or students are given the task outside of lesson time. Both methods can be implemented simultaneously in the teaching and learning process.From the above statements can be concluded that in learning, students so as not to get bored then there should be variations in learning methods. Teachers must be clever in choosing a method, one of which is the Graphic method (concept map). In this case on the history of the use of Graphic method (concept map) is the right method to invite students to think and understand and apply in everyday life. Graphical Pendekata (konse map) invites us to make learning process more meaningful and conductive.        Kewords: Grafis Media, Learning History, Student Chomprehensif

Online learning occurs among traditional age students as well as among non-traditional age students. Because traditional age students learn differently from non-traditional age students, especially in the virtual environment, educators are required to employ either pedagogical or andragogical assessment methods accordingly. Using pedagogical assessment methods may not work for non-traditional age learners. Likewise, trying to apply andragogical methods to traditional age students may not work for younger learners. Available assessment methods such as objectively-scored tests, subjectively-rated tests and criterion referenced tests will be discussed as well as a new form of assessment-learner self-evaluation. To use the proper tests to assess online learning, educators are required to possess both pedagogical and andragogical knowledge.

Abstract Basically students have a positive assumption on the way that the subject teacher uses the way in teaching and delivering materials. Based on the results of the initial research at SMK PGRI 3 Kediri, it is known that the value obtained by students is less than the maximum. Where the learning results obtained by students are still below the minimum completion criteria (KKM) of seventy-five (75). This research aims to know the influence between teacher methods in teaching and the level of independence in students' learning, as well as changes in student learning outcomes in accounting subjects at SMK PGRI 3 Kediri. The research method used in this study is quantitative method with double regression approach. Where the object is a grade X student of 25 students. The results of this study generally showed a positive influence or have a significant influence on the methods and ways used by teachers in teaching, as well as the influence between the independence carried out by students during learning on the results obtained by students in learning in school. Furthermore, students' perception of the methods used by teachers in teaching and showing self-reliance in learning, simultaneously has a positive and significant influence.
