Item Types

In the past years, most traditional item analysis only analyses difficulty and discrimination of each item, and test analysis only analyses overall test reliability and validity. As a result, EFL educators are lack of information on students’ response data for both students’ learning styles and item types in test questions preparation. Thus, the study presents the various item types of the English achievement assessment of Junior High School Students in Taiwan, and illustrates the various learning styles of the EFL students. The participants were randomly selected from one thousand four hundred and forty two junior high school students, who participated in Taiwan Assessment of Student Achievement in Junior High School English (TASA) held by National Academy for Educational Research (NAER). The data was analyzed based on the dichotomous scoring and the Student-Problem Chart Analysis. The result of Caution Index for Students shows that high achievement students account for one third of the sample students. However, the other students were classified as learning abnormality, inattention learning, and lack of learning adequateness, insufficiency learning, and lack of academic ability. Also, the result of caution index for problems shows that the test items of English Achievement Assessment were capable of measuring the English achievements of junior high school student and it also can differentiate high achievers from the low achiever in Taiwan. To improve the further test question preparation, only partial revisions are suggested for National Academy for Educational Research (NAER).

Screen Media

Background Excessive screen media exposures have manynegative impacts on children, including academic performance.Studies on the impacts of screen media on academic performancehave been limited, especially in Indonesia.Objective To assess screen media use and academic performanceof7th graders in a junior high school, and to evaluate other factorspotentially affecting student academic performance.Methods This was a cross-sectional study using surveys,questionnaires, and 12-day logbooks, conducted from May toJuly 2012. Students were 129 students in the 7,h grade of JuniorHigh Sch ool 115 in Jakarta and selected by consecutive sampling.Chi square test and multivariate analyses with logistic regressioncalculations were used for statistical analysis.Results The prevalences of students using screen media for > 2hours per day were 39.5% on weekdays and 64.3% on weekends.The prevalence of students using screen media that was notappropriate for their age was 69% on weekdays and 63.6% onweekends. Screen media content on weekdays and weekendshad no impact on academic performance (OR 0.56; 95%CI 0.26to 1.20; P=0.136 and OR 0.97; 95%CI 0.47 to 1.00; P=0.934,respectively) . In addition, the duration of screen media useon weekdays and weekends had no association with academicperformance (OR 0.60; 95%CI 0.30 to 1.23; P=0.161 andOR 0.90; 95%CI 0.44 to 1.86; P=0.782, respectively). Factorssignificantly associated with students' above average academicperformance were female gender (OR 3 .26; 95%CI 1.38 to7.74; P=0.007), superior intelligence quotient (IQ) comparedto average IQ (OR 4.63; 95%CI 1.66 to 12.9; P=0.003), highlysuperior IQ compared to average IQ (OR 5.45; 95%CI 1.51 to19.64; P=0.009), as well as achievement motivation and existenceof learning strategy, including intermediate vs. low motivation(OR 4.09; 95%CI 1.14 to 14.7 ; P=0.031), and high vs . lowmotivation (OR61.1; 95%CI 7.42 to 502.95; P<0.001); lack ofemotional and behavioral problems (OR 0.45; 95%CI 0.37-0.54;P= 0.01); and democratic parenting style (OR 0.45; 95%CI 0.37to 0.55; P=0.022).Conclusion There is no association between screen media useand academic performance in junior high school students. Factorssignificantly associated with above average academic performanceare female gender, superior and very superior IQ score, middleand high achievement motivation and learning strategy, lack ofemotional and behavioral problems, and democratic parentingstyle.

<p>The objectives of the research are to determine the effects of teaching methods (STAD and jigsaw) and learning styles (visual, auditory, and kinesthetic) on students’ English achievement. This research is an experimental study conducted at Junior High School Pasangkayu in 2014 with 213 sample which is selected stratified-randomly (n = 68). The results of the research are as follow: (1) English achievement of students taught with STAD is better than those of taught with jigsaw; (2) there is no significant difference in  English achievement among visual, auditory, and kinesthetic students; (3) there is any significant effect of interaction among teaching method and learning styles on students’ learning English achievement. The research also find out that for visual students, studying English achievement of students taught with STAD is better than that of students taught with jigsaw; for auditory students, learning English achievement  of students taught with jigsaw is better than that of students taught with STAD; and for kinesthetic students, English achievement of students taught with STAD is better than that of students taught with jigsaw. To sum up, STAD is more effective than jigsaw in improving students’ English achievement. STAD is suitable to improve English achievement of visual and kinesthetic students, and jigsaw is suitable to improve English achievement of auditory students.</p>
