Adaptive test control is a computerized system of scientifically based verification and evaluation of learning outcomes, which is highly effective by optimizing the procedures for generating, presenting and evaluating the results of adaptive tests, based on methods of building and optimizing logical networks. Algorithms for selection and presentation of tasks are based on the principle of feedback, when the correct answer of the subject of training is the next difficult task, and the wrong answer causes the presentation of the next easier task than that to which the subject of training the wrong answer was given. It is also possible to ask additional questions on topics that the subject does not know very well to clarify the level of knowledge in these areas. The choice of testing algorithms is currently actually limited by the forms of presentation of test tasks and algorithms for evaluating test results. Achieving higher results and increasing the motivation to learn is ultimately the main goal of testing knowledge. To determine the basic algorithm, it is necessary to provide a scenario of the system. It is based on the model of taking the exam by a teacher as a model of adaptive testing. This choice of the scenario of the system is due to the fact that, firstly, this procedure is historically well formalized, and secondly, when designing tests, their developer must rely on common, known and used methods with minimal modification.

A system was built up around a minicomputer to process in real time pressure and flow signals collected during the course of three ventilatory mechanics tests: the calculation of the lung volume, the evaluation of the static lung compliance, the analysis of the forced expiratory performance. The subject is seated in an open body Plethysmograph, which allows for the instantaneous calculation of changes in the volume of his thorax and abdomen. The system is controlled through a graphics console which displays the sampled curves and the results of data processing. In addition, the signals can be stored on demand onto a magnetic tape so that the method can be tested and improved off line. The results obtained in healthy volunteers are highly reproducible. A close correspondence is found both in patients and volunteers between computer-derived and hand-calculated results. The computerized system has become a standard equipment of our Lung Function Department, where it allows for a rapid quantitative analysis of lung volumes, lung elasticity and bronchial airflow.

The subject of the work is the research on relevant factors influencing participation in the success of brownfield revitalization, especially in the territory of small municipalities. Research has so far dealt with the issue of determining disparities in the municipalities of the Czech Republic, not excluding small municipalities, but their subsequent application has usually been presented in larger cities. The focus on smaller municipalities or cities was usually addressed only in general. The introduction provides an overview of theoretical knowledge in the field of brownfield revitalization. Defining the level of knowledge of the monitored issues is an essential step for the purposes of more effective determination of disparities. Disparities will be determined on the basis of information on localities that have been successfully revitalized. The identified disparities are then monitored in the territory of small municipalities. For the purposes of processing, it was determined that a small municipality or city is an area with a maximum of 5000 inhabitants. Using appropriately selected statistical methods, an overview of disparities and their weights is determined, which significantly affect the success of revitalization. In small municipalities, the issue of brownfields is not emphasized but, in terms of maintaining community strength and reducing population turnover, the reuse of brownfields is a crucial theme.

Modern applications of computerized adaptive testing are typically grounded in item response theory (IRT; Lord, 1980 ). While the IRT foundations of adaptive testing provide a number of approaches to adaptive test scoring that may seem natural and efficient to psychometricians, these approaches may be more demanding for test takers, test score users, and interested regulatory institutions to comprehend. An alternative method, based on more familiar equated number-correct scores and identical to that used to score and equate many conventional tests, is explored and compared with one that relies more directly on IRT. It is concluded that scoring adaptive tests using the familiar number-correct score, accompanied by the necessary equating to adjust for the intentional differences in adaptive test difficulty, is a statistically viable, although slightly less efficient, method of adaptive test scoring. To enhance the prospects for enlightened public debate about adaptive testing, it may be preferable to use this more familiar approach. Public attention would then likely be focused on issues more central to adaptive testing, namely, the adaptive nature of the test.

The clinical assessment of mental disorders can be a time-consuming and error-prone procedure, consisting of a sequence of diagnostic hypothesis formulation and testing aimed at restricting the set of plausible diagnoses for the patient. In this article, we propose a novel computerized system for the adaptive testing of psychological disorders. The proposed system combines a mathematical representation of psychological disorders, known as the “formal psychological assessment,” with an algorithm designed for the adaptive assessment of an individual’s knowledge. The assessment algorithm is extended and adapted to the new application domain. Testing the system on a real sample of 4,324 healthy individuals, screened for obsessive-compulsive disorder, we demonstrate the system’s ability to support clinical testing, both by identifying the correct critical areas for each individual and by reducing the number of posed questions with respect to a standard written questionnaire.

Abstract Background: This study aimed to evaluate the effects of child neglect and abuse training on the knowledge and awareness of medical vocational schoolteachers in Turkey. Methods: This study was conducted with teachers from Kayseri, Turkey, between October 2016 and April 2017. Teachers who agreed to participate in the study received training on child neglect and abuse. Data were collected through a survey form and by the Scale for Identifying the Symptoms and Risks of Child Abuse and Neglect. Data were analyzed through the software SPSS V.20.0. For statistical analyses, student’s t test, analysis of variance and McNemar tests were performed, with p< 0.05 value being considered statistically significant. Results: Of the teachers, 63.7% were female and 80.5% were married. Teachers’ mean age was 40.5 ± 9.9 years. Of the teachers, 87.4% reported the training was adequate. Teachers’ level of knowledge on neglect and abuse and the percentage of those who reported that they would report it to the authorities when faced with such a case increased after the training. Women teachers’ scores for the neglect and abuse scale increased among those without children and who found the training adequate. Conclusions: Teachers’ knowledge level in the study group prior to the training was found higher. The subject of child neglect and abuse should be further discussed during teachers’ formal training.

Uno de los principales objetivos en la educación es lograr que los estudiantes desarrollen la capacidad de trabajo en equipo. Esta capacidad potencia la socialización entre los estudiantes y la resolución de problemas complejos. Comúnmente, la creación de estos equipos es realizada por el docente de la asignatura, quien debe tener en cuenta múltiples criterios como la presencia de un estudiante líder y equipos heterogéneos. Cuando la asignatura tiene poco estudiantes, esta tarea suele ser fácil. Sin embargo, cuando se debe tener en cuenta a numerosos estudiantes, la tarea se torna compleja y por lo general no existe garantía de que los equipos creados cumplan con los criterios deseados. En este sentido, con el objetivo de favorecer el desarrollo óptimo de esta tarea docente, la presente investigación propone una solución computacional que automatiza la creación de equipos de trabajo de estudiantes. Específicamente, la tarea de la creación de los equipos se modeló matemáticamente como un problema de optimización de tipo combinatorio y multi-objetivo, que fue resuelto a su vez por un algoritmo evolutivo basado en los conceptos de Dominancia de Pareto. Para validar las propuestas, se realizaron varios experimentos computacionales que involucran escenarios reales, relacionados con la Unidad de Aprendizaje Inglés en varias carreras de la Universidad Técnica Estatal de Quevedo. ABSTRACTOne of the main goals for Higher Education is to educate students to work in teams. Such a skill not only improves their social behavior in the community, but also the ability for solving complex problems. Usually, the process of making teams is carried out by professor of the subject, who has to take into account several criteria (e.g. the presence of leader, heterogeneity of the team according the level of knowledge, sex, among others). When the subject has just few students, this task becomes easy. However, in the case of classes with a large number of students, this task becomes complex and there is no warranty about the accomplishment of the considered criteria. In that sense, the present work proposes a computational solution that automatizes the task of student teams building. Specifically, it was approached as a multi-objective combinatorial optimization problem, which was solved using a Pareto Dominance-based algorithm. In order to validate the proposal we performed several computational experiments involving real case studies from the English subject of three careers at the Technical State University of Quevedo. Results show that the proposed approach is able to build balanced teams according to the considered criteria.

The paper presents the issues related to the green economy in the agricultural sector. In order to discuss it, an analysis of the subject literature was carried out and some selected statistical data describing the process of greening of agriculture were presented. The timeframe of the analysis covered the years 2010-2015. The GUS and Eurostat were the source of the used values. Studies have shown that almost all EU countries have increased the area of organic agricultural land in the surveyed period (except for Great Britain). In addition, the article presents the results of pilot studies conducted in the Lodz Region, aimed at diagnosing key barriers to the development of the green economy in rural areas. According to the research, the insufficient level of knowledge of farmers in this area is an important obstacle to building a green economy in rural areas.

This study was conducted with regard to the phenomenon of Islamic religious education graduates who became class teachers in Madrasah Ibtidaiyah Pangkalan Susu distric. The purpose of this research is to know: 1) Problematic graduates of PAI as classroom teachers in planning instructional. 2) Problematic graduates of PAI as classroom teachers in implementing instructional. 3) Problematic graduates of PAI as classroom teachers in conducting instructional evaluation. The type of research is using qualitative research methods with phenomenology approach. The subject of research is the graduate of Islamic Religious Education who has become a class teacher. The result of the research that problematic of PAI graduates as teacher of Madrasah Ibtidaiyah class in planning instructional in Pangkalan Susu sub-district of Langkat district is still having difficulties to make instructional plan independently. Besides these three Madrasah Ibtidaiyah also do not have a library that can provide books that qualified to be used as a source of learning. While in implementing the instructional is the similarity of teachers in the method of learning and the lack of mastery of the material. This is due to their lack of knowledge about the variety of instructional methods and the lack of mastery of the material. On the other hand these teachers rarely attend training, seminars, workshops that can provide information for development for their profession. As for the evaluation of learning is not yet meet the assessment procedures. This is because the teacher has not understood the way the preparation of the implementation Plan of instructional.
