Student Test

The use of test scores as a performance measure in high-stakes educational accountability has become increasingly popular since the enactment of the No Child Left Behind Act of 2001 (NCLB), which imposed sanctions such as the threat of losing federal funds unless a state implemented a school accountability system that measures student progress continuously. Since then, many in the education community have questioned whether differences in student test scores reflect actual discrepancies in the long-term well-being of individuals. In this review, we try to address this question in the light of the extant literature that examines the relationship between test scores and later life outcomes. We show that while there are certainly studies that contradict the causality of this relationship, there is also abundant evidence suggesting a causal link between test scores and later life outcomes. We conclude that any debate about the use of test scores in educational accountability (1) should be framed by use of all relevant empirical evidence, (2) should also consider the predictive validity of nontest measures of student success, and (3) should keep in mind that the predictive validity of test scores could be stronger in some contexts than others.

PURPOSE: To evaluate the shear bond strength (SBS) of metallic brackets bonded with Transbond Plus Self-Etching Primer (TPSEP) and Transbond Plus Color Change (TPCC) under contamination with a mixture of saliva and blood. MATERIALS AND METHODS: 42 human premolars were randomly divided into 2 groups (n=21). Group 1 (G1) were bonded under no contamination, and Group 2 (G2) was contaminated with saliva/blood before bonding. Both groups were bonded according to the manufacturer’s instructions and were cleaned with pumice before bonding. The shear bond strength (SBS) tests were performed after 24 hours in distilled water at 37°C and after thermocycling. RESULTS: Both groups showed a homogeneous distribution in the Levene’s test (p>0.05). The main shear bond strength value of G1 was 8.89 MPa with a standard deviation of 2.27; the value for G2 was 6.00 MPa with a standard deviation of 2.62 MPa. There was a significant difference between G1 and G2 (t-student test p<0.05). IRA scores indicated that the main value was IRA 0, and no significant difference (α=0.05) was found between the groups. CONCLUSION: Contamination of blood mixed with saliva significantly decreases the shear bond strength, but even so, the performance is clinically acceptable.

Lateral Sclerosis

Background: amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) is a motor neuron degenerative disease with high mortality and few therapies. One of these is riluzole, inspite of uncertainty effectiveness. Objective: the aim of this study was to evaluate the survival rate associated with the use of this medication in the treatment of ALS. Methods: The study was based on a narrative review of the scientific articles that used randomized controled trials with riluzole for ALS. We selected articles published in english during the period of January 1th, 2000 to December 31th, 2020. The MeSH terms “amyotrophic lateral sclerosis” or “motor neuron disease” and “riluzole” or “rilutek” were used in Pubmed and Lilacs databases. Studies that used only patients with advanced stage ALS were excluded. The t-Student test between sample means was applied to determine the significance of the difference between the survival time (years) of the riluzole and placebo treatment, for a 95% confidence level. Results: through the search, four articles were obtained (Table 1). Conclusion: Data analysis showed that riluzole is only effective in the first year. From the second onward, it does not exceed the results of the placebo.

The topic of social entrepreneurship is of great importance due to the diverse problems that society faces, which require the development of effective projects with a social conscience that is oriented to contribute to community well-being. The aim of this research was to analyse the social entrepreneurial intentions of students from the business area in a higher education institution, with the purpose of identifying significant differences regarding gender. The study is empirical, descriptive, and exploratory, using a quantitative approach. The   sample consisted of 228 students, of which 45.61% are male and 54.39% are female. The statistical method was applied through the t-student test, which allows us to accept the hypothesis that there is a significant difference in the social entrepreneurial intentions between men and women.

This study was employed to enhance learning motivation and mathematical problem-solving abilities of class VIII A students of SMP Negeri 7 Purwokerto through SFAE learning with problem-solving strategies. The subjects of this study were 31 students of class VIII A SMP Negeri 7 Purwokerto. This study is a Classroom Action Research (CAR), which was conducted collaboratively and participative. The action research was carried out in 3 cycles, with each cycle consisting of 2 meetings. Students were given a questionnaire to measure learning motivation and a test to measure their mathematical problem-solving abilities at the end of each cycle. Data collection techniques in this study include observation, questionnaires, tests, and documentation. Data analysis was carried out by descriptive qualitative and quantitative. The finding showed that implementing of SFAE learning with problem-solving strategies could increase students’ learning motivation and mathematical problem-solving abilities. The study found that (1) The average percentage of the overall learning motivation questionnaire is steadily increased from 61.71% in cycle one to 68.10% in cycle two and 76.03% in cycle three. (2) The average percentage of student tests for problem-solving abilities in cycle one also significantly increases from 35.21% to 53.20% in cycle two and 79.61% in cycle three. The average student test rate for each indicator of problem-solving ability has met the study’s success criteria.
