Background: Various studies show that self-assessment containing scientific processes applied in physics learning will affect the scientific attitude and the physics learning outcomes of the students. It is also found that Initial knowledge also contributes to determining the level of scientific attitudes and the physics learning outcomes of physics. However, initial knowledge needs to be controlled so that the pure effect of self-assessment in learning physics on scientific attitudes and learning outcomes of physics is known. Aim: This study examines the effect of the implementation of self-assessment with science processes on scientific attitudes and physics learning outcomes by controlling initial knowledge. Methods: This research was conducted with a quasi-experimental approach to 143 1st grade high school students majoring in science in Singaraja City using a single factor independent group design with the use of covariate. The sample of the research was chosen by using a multistage random sampling technique. The instruments used were the scientific attitude questionnaire, the initial knowledge test, and the physics learning outcome test. The data were processed using multivariate covariance analysis. Results and Discussion: The results showed that there were differences in scientific attitudes and learning outcomes of students who took physics learning with self-assessment containing the science process and students who took physics learning with the conventional assessment after controlling their initial knowledge, either independently or simultaneously. The prior knowledge of the students contributed to scientific attitudes by 22.8%, and to physics learning outcomes by 19.4%. Conclusions: it can be concluded that self-assessment containing scientific processes in physics learning affected scientific attitudes and learning outcomes by controlling initial knowledge.

The main purpose of this study was to explore the factors that affect grade10 students‟ academic achievement in science education at Ilu Aba Bora Zone of General Secondary Schools. To attain this objective, descriptive survey research method was employed. The subjects of the study were 360 (172 male and female 155 students, 25 science teachers, 2 laboratory technicians and 6 school principals). Stratified sampling followed by simple random sampling (lottery method) technique was employed to select the sample students, purposive sampling technique was used to select the schools and availability sampling method was employed for science subject teachers, laboratory technicians and school principals. To gather the necessary data, questionnaire, and interview, observation and document analysis were used. The gathered information was analyzed using both quantitative and qualitative methods of data analysis. The result of the study showed that students were stagnantly engaged in traditional methods of teaching science education. Of major teaching science methodologies, small group (one to five) discussion (M = 4.0) method was the most dominant approach followed by gapped-lecture and whole class discussion, which are not pedagogically supported in teaching science education of the modern time. Out of laboratory sessions, with statistically no significant difference between male and female students, they favored science education negatively and poorly involved in practicing it. 85.97% of activities in science educations of grade 9 and 10 were absolutely not done in the laboratory, which hinder students‟ understanding to handle science education easily. The study also revealed that, non-proficiency in English Language becomes an obstacle for students to grasp the concepts of science education. Although the professional supports of science teachers to their students were relatively fair (M = 3.2), they have not used their maximum potential to implement science education effectively. Parental involvement, peer pressure, schools support (regular attendance, providing facilities, evaluating the effectiveness of teaching learning, giving guidance) and other stakeholders commitment to enhance students‟ science education were very near to the ground. Lastly, absence of laboratory chemicals, rooms, apparatuses, technicians and well organized laboratory manuals were negatively affected the effective implementation of science education and students‟ academic achievement as well. Thus, based on the findings of the study, recommendations were forwarded to alleviate the aforementioned problems.

Attitude Towards Mathematics

While assessing mathematics performance, attitude towards mathematics and Mathematics learning are frequently cited as factors contributing to success. The present study has been conducted to investigate students’ attitude towards learning mathematics in the higher secondary schools of Assam, India. It is sought to understand the influence of Gender and School Environment (Government and Private) in the study of the subject Mathematics. ATMS (Attitude Towards Mathematics Scale), developed by Dr. S. C. Gakhar, and Dr. Rajni was used to find out the attitude of students towards learning mathematics and their achievement in mathematics both in terms of gender as well as school management pattern. Out of a population of 340 students studying at the higher secondary (10+1) level in the Balijana Block of Goalpara District, a sample of 102 students (56 boys and 46 girls) were selected through Stratified Random sampling technique. One Provincialized, one Government and two Private schools were selected based on purposive sampling technique. The achievement of the students in Mathematics at higher secondary level depends on the gender of the students. The study revealed that achievement level of the male students in Mathematics at higher secondary level is more than that of their female counterparts. The achievement of the students in Mathematics at higher secondary level depends on the school environment. The achievement level of the students in private schools is better than the Government schools. The male students show more positive attitude towards learning Mathematics than the female students. Among the eight components, in few components students of Government schools show more positive attitude than Private schools. Whereas, in some components students of Private schools show more positive attitude than students of Government schools. Therefore, attitudes towards mathematics can be developed through encouraging students and motivating them for learning through constructivism and innovations. Teachers, school environment and home environment should be conducive and shouldn’t hamper students’ mathematical performance throughout their schooling
