Education Environment

In the current education environment, learning takes place outside the physical classroom, and tutors need to determine whether learners are absorbing the content delivered to them. Online assessment has become a viable option for tutors to establish the achievement of course learning outcomes by learners. It provides real-time progress and immediate results; however, it has challenges in quantifying learner aspects like wavering behavior, confidence level, knowledge acquired, quickness in completing the task, task engagement, inattentional blindness to critical information, etc. An intelligent eye gaze-based assessment system called IEyeGASE is developed to measure insights into these behavioral aspects of learners. The system can be integrated into the existing online assessment system and help tutors re-calibrate learning goals and provide necessary corrective actions.

Assessment Tasks

Assessment practices need to change in mathematics classrooms that adopt the curriculum standards recommended by the National Council of Teachers of Mathematics (NCTM). An assessment system that focuses on broad learning outcomes, uses tasks that are aligned with instructional practices, involves students actively in the process, and informs teachers' instructional and curricular decisions is recommended. Such an assessment process requires teachers to identify important mathematical ideas, along with performance standards that describe what students must do to demonstrate that those ideas have been learned. Open-ended questions, observations, interviews, pre- and post-assessments, self- and peer-assessments are strategies that can be used to gather evidence of students learning. Documentation strategies are needed to help teachers organize and manage assessment data. NCTM has provided six standards for assessment that teachers can use as guidelines to help them evaluate the appropriateness of assessment tasks.

Abstract: Pandemic Covid-19 made government implemented the regulation of education that learning process only conduct by distance education, thus one of the method in this programme was by online learning. The objective of this research was to digging information about the online learning process by elementary teachers. Using the descriptive qualitative method with subjects of 37 teachers in Bogor City. Data was collected by survey with 2 type of questions (open and closed questions). The results shows, that before pandemic Covid-19 the implementation of online learning in elementary schools were very low, but after pandemic the readiness of teachers regarding the goverment regulation is well accomodated even though teachers still have shortcoming with the authenticity of learning outcomes from assignments. Furthermore, teachers still cannot fully conduct evaluation by online assessment particularly to evaluate the affective and social aspects.

Teachers make various efforts to improve student learning outcomes. Therefore, it is needed a learning action that can enliven the students' motivation in achieving good values, individually or in groups. One way is to implement cooperative learning. In this learning students are required to work together in small groups to solve a problem and the group's primary goal is toward success. STAD type cooperative learning is based on an idea where students work together in a group and participate personally in the learning activities of their group members. Based on the background of the problems can be formulated as follows: "if the implementation of cooperative learning model STAD can improve learning outcomes of students in class V SDN 06  IPA in Perawang Barat in green plant matter?"               The purpose of this research is to improve learning outcomes IPA fifth grade students of SDN 06 Perawang Barat on green plant material.The research method was classroom action research.This research was conducted at SDN 06 Perawang Barat.The research time is from February to May 2014.

Teachers use injunctive norms when telling students what they should be doing. But researchers find that sometimes descriptive norms, information about what others are doing, more powerfully influence behavior. Currently, we examine which norm is more effective at increasing self-regulated studying and performance in an online college course. We found injunctive norms increased study behaviors aimed at fulfilling course requirements (completion of assigned activities), but did not improve learning outcomes. Descriptive norms increased behaviors aimed at improving knowledge (ungraded practice with activities after they were due), and improved performance. These results imply norms have a stronger influence over behavior when there is a match between the goal of the behavior (fulfilling course requirements vs. learning goals) and the pull of a stated norm (social approval vs. efficacy). Because the goal of education is learning, this suggests descriptive norms have a greater value for motivating self-regulated study in authentic learning environments.

- The article presents the main results of a system level evaluation of learning outcomes concerning compulsory Vocational Training (VT) 3-years courses final formal examinations. This evaluation, carried out by the Education and Vocational Training Department of an italian Province (Varese), specifically deals with the use of single student learning standardized outcomes as a crucial component - if properly designed, managed and processed - of the evaluation of a local institutional VT system as a whole. This is quite a challenging task in Italy due both to the territorial differences existing in VT policies and institutional responsibilities and to the weakness of system evaluation culture, models and experiences in VT specifically and in education in general. The evaluation, conducted with the supervision of the two authors, will be presented and briefly discussed mainly by a methodological perspective. It will focus on the way in which learning contexts, training contents and trainees characteristics have been included into the evaluative analysis as factors potentially able: a) to explain, at a system level, the learning outcomes of the students; b) to offer the local stakeholders a comprehensive set of information and evidences to be used for the improvement of VT policies, programmes and single interventions.Key words: educational and vocational training, learning outcomes assessment, system evaluation, comparison, explicationParole chiave: istruzione e formazione professionale, valutazione di sistema, valutazione degli apprendimenti, comparazione, spiegazione

Purpose This paper aims to propose a new assessment system module for handling the comprehensive answers written through the answer interface. Design/methodology/approach The working principle is under three major phases: Preliminary semantic processing: In the pre-processing work, the keywords are extracted for each answer given by the course instructor. In fact, this answer is actually considered as the key to evaluating the answers written by the e-learners. Keyword and semantic processing of e-learners for hierarchical clustering-based ontology construction: For each answer given by each student, the keywords and the semantic information are extracted and clustered (hierarchical clustering) using a new improved rider optimization algorithm known as Rider with Randomized Overtaker Update (RR-OU). Ontology matching evaluation: Once the ontology structures are completed, a new alignment procedure is used to find out the similarity between two different documents. Moreover, the objects defined in this work focuses on “how exactly the matching process is done for evaluating the document.” Finally, the e-learners are classified based on their grades. Findings On observing the outcomes, the proposed model shows less relative mean squared error measure when weights were (0.5, 0, 0.5), and it was 71.78% and 16.92% better than the error values attained for (0, 0.5, 0.5) and (0.5, 0.5, 0). On examining the outcomes, the values of error attained for (1, 0, 0) were found to be lower than the values when weights were (0, 0, 1) and (0, 1, 0). Here, the mean absolute error (MAE) measure for weight (1, 0, 0) was 33.99% and 51.52% better than the MAE value for weights (0, 0, 1) and (0, 1, 0). On analyzing the overall error analysis, the mean absolute percentage error of the implemented RR-OU model was 3.74% and 56.53% better than k-means and collaborative filtering + Onto + sequential pattern mining models, respectively. Originality/value This paper adopts the latest optimization algorithm called RR-OU for proposing a new assessment system module for handling the comprehensive answers written through the answer interface. To the best of the authors’ knowledge, this is the first work that uses RR-OU-based optimization for developing a new ontology alignment-based online assessment of e-learners.

This chapter describes how the government of Uruguay believes that all children have the right to have technology at their fingertips and that all children have the right to connectivity and access to the internet, that it is as important to have electricity and running water as to have access to the internet, and that it would have a high impact on the country's technological deployment and, obviously, on education and teaching. The parts of the chapter are concerned with the technology and pedagogy relationship: how to improve pedagogy through technology, the importance of teaching English and math online with help of education inspectors and the teachers using modern platform—virtual classrooms, books in digital format, digital technology laboratories—that allows collaborative work, work on projects, logical thinking, an online assessment system. All these integrated tools transfer to the biggest investments which the author calls “global learning network.”

Abstract Objective – As reference services continue to evolve, libraries must make evidence based decisions about their services. This study seeks to determine the value of reference services in relation to student learning acquired during research consultations, by soliciting students’ and librarians’ perceptions of consultation success and examining the degree of alignment between them. Methods – The alignment of students’ learning outcomes (reported skills and knowledge acquired) with librarians’ expectations for student learning during consultations was assessed. An online questionnaire was conducted to gather responses from students who had sought consultation services; 20 students participated. In-person interviews took place with eight librarians who had provided these consultations. The online questionnaire for students included questions about students’ assessments of their self-identified learning goals through consultation with a librarian and their success at applying the knowledge and skills gained. Librarian interviews elicited responses about students’ prior research experience, librarians’ objectives for student learning, librarians’ perceptions of student learning outcomes, and perceived consultation success. The responses of both the students and the librarians were coded, matched, and compared. Results – Students and librarians both considered the consultation process to be successful in advancing learning objectives and research skills. All students reported that the consultations met their expectations, and most reported that the skills acquired were applicable to their projects and significantly improved the quality of their work. Librarians expressed confidence that students had gained competency in the following skill sets: finding sources, search strategy development, topic exploration, specific tool use, and library organization and access. A high degree of alignment was observed in the identification by both students and librarians of “finding sources” as the skill set most in need of enhancement or assistance, while some disparity was noted in the ranking of “search strategy development,” which librarians ranked second and students ranked last. Conclusion – The data demonstrate that both students and librarians perceived individual research consultations as an effective means to meet student learning expectations. Study findings suggest that as reference models continue to change and reference desk usage declines, research consultations remain a valuable element in a library’s service model and an efficient use of human resources.
