Traditional Assessments

One significant difference characterizing the 2013 Curriculum from the former one is the use of authentic assessment to measure the students expected learning outcomes. The old-fashioned mode of assessments such as multiple choice, or completion is regarded insufficient to capture the language skills mastery of the students. Students' demonstration of the mastery of various domains of learning objectives has not necessarily equated with a demonstration of their capacities in real-world settings. Ideally, what is tested should mirror what really is required outside the classroom. So far reading mastery is always tested through traditional mode of assessment like multiple choices (MC). The new curriculum recommends a different perspective of assessment which is called alternative assessment. However, the shift from the traditional assessments to authentic assessments seems to challenge some constraints on the part of the teachers. Many teachers are not quite familiar with the new concepts andpractices within the emerging paradigm. It is due to the absenceof a clear guideline for doing such assessments. The goal of this paper is to propose a theoretically grounded method to conduct alternative assessments which are developed from a pair of standard competences listedin theEnglish syllabus for Senior High School level

The Impact

A quasi experiment with interview was adopted to study the aptness of using 3D animations as an instructional method to introduce programming concepts to students at the Senior High School level. This research work was conducted with 100 students of Akroso Senior High School in the Birim central municipality of the eastern region of Ghana who were generally programming novice. Programming concepts considered included programming environments, loops, functions sequential and conditional execution of programs. A paired t-test carried out on the results of the performance test presents a p-value of 0.008 indicative of a numerically significant difference between the mean marks of participants during the experiments that used 3D animation method as against the experiments that used the text base method. Results from the interview showed that the instructional method used had impact on the performance of the learners. The use of 3D animation method presented programming concepts in a form that the learners can understand, motivates them to pursue programming related courses at a higher level and also impacts positively on their performance.

The aim of this study is; to investigate the effects of differential training method on hand and leg visual reaction time in high school tennis trainees. 24 trainees (12 girls, 12 boys) attending a tennis course in a high school participated in the study voluntarily. It was determined that the mean age of the participants was 15.00±0.00 years, their body weight was 63.46±10.64 kg, their height was 1.65±0.06 m, and their body mass index was 23.26±2.91. According to the results of the pre-tests, 2 homogeneous groups of 12 people were created. One group formed the Differential Group (DG), the other the Traditional Group (TG), and each group included 6 girls and 6 boys. The training sessions were held 3 days a week (90 minutes each) and lasted 10 weeks in total. In the study, the visual reaction time (separately for hand and leg) was performed as a pre-test and a post-test using the Fitlight TrainerTM device. Paired Sample t test was used to examine the difference between pre-test and post-test of the same group. Independent Sample t test was used to measure the intergroup interaction between pre-tests and post-tests. To interpret the statistical significance level, p < 0.05 was accepted. As a conclusion; it was observed that both training methods shorten the visual reaction time, but there was no significant difference between the groups in pre-test and post-tests.

Abnormalities with processing social concepts as children may display with Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) and Nonverbal learning disorder (NSLD). The purpose of the study was to observe how children with disabilities and nondisabled children viewed gender stereotypes. Images of gender-advertised toys and clothing items were utilized to determine gender-biases held by preschoolers (ages 3-6), upper-elementary level students (ages 10-12), and high school level students (ages 15-18). This project raises awareness of cultural stereotypes in society and their impact on childhood perception development. 177 students were shown images of gender-advertised clothing and entertainment items and asked to categorize each object as a boy, girl, or both. Students with disabilities had less gender bias compared to their nondisabled counterparts. The children in all groups had increased stereotyped responses to clothing items as opposed to toys. The preschoolers displayed the most stereotypical responses, the upper-elementary schoolers responded with the least biased responses as they had gained more exposure to toy and clothing options, and the highschoolers solidified their opinions with moderate stereotypes, notably in clothing items. Presenting increased non-stereotypical opinions, there was a significant difference in gender perception in students with disabilities. The difference in responses to gender perception between students with and without disabilities assimilated in all categories by high school age, meaning there was no significant difference in gender perception by this stage.

Analisis data menggunakan instrumen tes awal (pretest), tes akhir (posttest) dan angket. Hasil analisis data menunjukkan, nilai rata-rata siswa sebelum menggunakan media realia pada kelas eksperimen 30,48, pada kelas kontrol 27,69. Setelah menggunakan media realia nilai rata-rata kelas eksperimen menjadi 78,02, pada kelas kontrol 59,90. Perhitungan statistik komparasional, sebelum menggunakan media realia t hitung lebih kecil dari t tabel yaitu 1,22<2,64. Setelah menggunakan realia nilai t hitung lebih besar dari t tabel yaitu 7,52>2,64. Hal tersebut menyatakan ada perbedaan yang signifikan pada kelas eksperimen dan kelas kontrol setelah menggunakan media realia. Hasil angket menunjukkan persentase sebesar 76%-95% (sebagian besar) responden memberikan tanggapan positif mengenai pembelajaran dengan media realia. Penggunaan media realia sangat efektif dalam meningkatkan penguasaan kosakata benda yang berkaiatan dengan budaya khas Jepang.   The learning of foreign language in a learning material is prioritizing the introduction of vocabularies. In the Japanese language learning at the high school level, Japanese cultures are taught with the purpose of introducing and enhancing students’ cultural insight. Some objects vocabularies are needed to be understood in order to make ease students to learn Japanese typical cultures. The first observation conducted in this research shows that the Japanese vocabularies learning is difficult to be learnt by using book as the media of learning. Learning media has an important role in delivering learning material. Realia becomes the alternative media to enhance students in mastering Japanese vocabularies. This research employed the true experimental quantitative methods with the population of students in SMA NEGERI 1 LEMBANG in the academic year 2015/2016. The sample of this research were selected randomly with 84 students employed both as the experimental class in X MIA 2 and X MIA 3 as the control class. The instruments used in the data analysis were prettest, posttest and questionaires.The data analysis shows that the average score of students before using Realia as the learning media in the experimental class was 30.48 and 27.69 in the control class. After realia was used as the learning media, the average score of the experimental class increases until 78.20 and 59.90 in the control class. Meanwhile, the t calculation of comparational statistic calculation before using realia was smaller than the t table which is 1.22<2.64. After using realia as the learning media the t score became greater than t table which is 7.52> 2.64. It shows that there is a significant difference between experimental class and control class after using realia as the learning media. The questionnaire results shows that 76% -95% (most) of the respondents give positive feedback towards the learning with using realia as the media of learning.

Assessment is a complex process dependent upon an entire network of practices. It presumes a variety of strategies and procedures and requires multiple indicatorsand sources of evidence. There are two methods of assessement: Traditional assessments and Alternative assessments. Each one has its own potential for enhancing student learning. Traditional assessment is used to determine what students know at the end of a chapter, unit, or series of lectures on a topic in which assessment measures emphasize the interconnections, coherence, and understanding among skills, concepts, and procedures, as well as among knowledge, abilities, and dispositions. We can assess with the goal of increasing that learning. In fact we should think of assessment as a means for enhancing student learning aligns assessment with instruction.

The aim of this study is to search core exercise&rsquo;s affect which is done regulary with female students for 8 weeks on students&rsquo; balance programs. 20 volunteer female participants who were students of Osman Nuri Yalman High school (ten of them were experimental group and ten of them were control group) were included in the study. In the survey, experimental method with pretest-posttest desing was used. Core exercise was applied on experimental group three days a week during 8 weeks on the other hand no exercise was done with control group. SPSS (Ver.20) packet program was used while analyzing data statistically. Before the analysis, normality distribution was determined by being used skewness-kurtosis and hitogram and significance level was controlled according to the greenhouse-geisser and two-way repeated measures of anova values. According to the results of the survey, significant difference was found between two groups&rsquo; pre-test&ndash;post-test balance values (F(2.69, 48.36) = 42.25, p &lt; .05). The post-test balance values of the group in 8 directions increased significantly. When the pos-test balance values between the two groups were compared, the post- test balance values of the experimantal group participants were significantly higher than the control group participants (F(1.18) = 6.20, p &lt; .05). Consequently; it can be said that core training applied to the high school level female students three days a week for 8 weeks can have a positive effect on balance performance.
