Abstract Reading is one of many ways to understand science. The interest in reading is an inner encouragement to read, however reading interest does not come naturally instead it must be driven. The research is aimed at oxploring whether there is a correlation between reading interest and learning achievements ( test scores of Indonesian Language ) of Students of PL Don Bosko Semarang. The SPSS test result on the correlation between reading interest and scores of Indonesian Language tests showed sig score 0.012 < 0.05, therefore H0 is refuted. It can be concluded that there is a positive correlation between reading interest and and Test score of Indonesia Language.Key words : Reading, Reading Interest, Correlation, Learning Achivements (Test score)

Objective: To create a stroke education video and study its impact in stroke clinic with regards to patient satisfaction and knowledge acquisition. Background: Excellent medical care includes providing patient education, but most clinics do not emphasize this. We are exploring the use of video education in the stroke clinic, as this patient population may particularly benefit from secondary stroke prevention teaching. Methods: Ischemic stroke patients coming for routine hospital follow-up were enrolled and randomized to either watch an educational stroke video or receive standard care. Patients were stratified by education level, with one group having completed high school or less, and the other having completed any post high school training. Both groups took a pre- and post-visit knowledge test as well as a post-visit satisfaction survey. We hypothesized that knowledge acquisition, judged by improvement in test score, and satisfaction scores would both be greater in the video group. Test scores were expected to positively correlate with satisfaction. Results: Forty patients were enrolled to date. Preliminary data demonstrated patients were positive (n=15) or neutral (n=5) about the video. Both groups were highly satisfied with their visit, and a two-tailed t-test demonstrated no difference in satisfaction between groups (p=0.89). A linear regression showed a trend for the highly educated patients in the video group having improved test scores after the visit (p=0.069). Further enrollment of patients is needed to better assess this. In both groups, there was a correlation between post-test scores and satisfaction scores (R=0.37, p=0.03). Conclusions: Based on this preliminary data, stroke patients enjoy video education in clinic. However, as patients in both groups were highly satisfied, it remains unclear whether video education increases overall satisfaction. Highly educated patients may bennefit from video education, but further enrollment will clarify this. A positive correlation between post-visit test score and satisfaction indicates that clinics should prioritize patient education.

The Department of Education’s table “State Education Statistics” reports mean test scores by state and mean resource inputs by state. The means are calculated from quite different groups of students, a process we call inconsistent aggregation. We investigate the bias in regression coefficients caused by inconsistent aggregation, first using theoretical calculations, and then by artificially aggregating data from the High School and Beyond sample.

Zajonc has proposed that the decline in high school achievement since 1965 can be explained by the trend from 1947 to 1962 toward larger, closer-spaced families. This deduction is based on the Zajonc-Markus theory relating child spacing to intellectual development. The present study tested this theory with data on students in Iowa high schools. The size of the interval between children was found in selected instances to be related to achievement in families of three or more children, but the results were not consistent for every family size nor from child to child in the birth sequence. Overall, the results raise doubt that population trends in child spacing account for the decline in achievement test scores.

Abstract In this article, common test results over the years 2000 – 2016 are analysed. The test questions for new entrants were based on secondary school mathematics. The students took the test in the first lesson of the higher mathematics course. The test results were analysed by years, by tasks and by specialities, and their differences were found. The test results’ dependence on state-exams score was studied and other types of dependence were looked at. It was found that the test score has a strong correlation with a state-exam but with high school mathematics mark and with later higher mathematics course marks has very weak correlation. During these 16 years, the questions that have been the most difficult for students have not changed. The highest test scores were found among students who had chosen the most popular specialities (with the highest competition).

Fourteen children who misarticulated some phones of the /s/ phoneme were tape recorded articulating several lists of items involving /s/. The lists included the Mc-Donald Deep Test for /s/, three lists similar to McDonald’s but altered in broad context, and an /s/ sound production task. Scores from lists were correlated, compared for differences in means, or both. Item sets determined by immediate context were also compared for differences between means. All lists were found to be significantly correlated. The comparison of means indicated that both broad and immediate context were related to test result. The estimated “omega square” statistic was used to evaluate the percentage of test score variance attributable to context.

So far, in implementing school strategies, they tend not to utilize Information and Communication Technology (ICT), despite the availability of ICT resources available. Stages of strategic management are needed to generate the vision, mission, objectives, policy, program, budget, and procedures as well as control and evaluation process as an effort to utilize ICT to improve school quality. Based on the interpretation and the results of the study, it is concluded that schools have organized stages in strategic management that enable schools to have a quality profile. The impact of effective utilization of ICTs for schools is the achievement of effective school management, as per the National Education Standards, which is characterized by effective planning, implementation, control, and evaluation of school ICTs.The purpose of this study is to get a general description, describe, and reveal the Strategic Management of Information and Communication Technology Utilization to Improve the Quality of School Learning in Ciledug Al Musaddadiyah Vocational High School and Garut 1 Vocational High School, both on environmental analysis, strategic formulation, implementation and strategic evaluation. The research method used in this research is the case study method, because the problems studied occur in the place and situation of Ciledug Al Musaddadiyah Vocational School and Vocational High School 1 Garut. The use of case study models in this study is based on the consideration that to provide an overview of the strategic management activities of the use of ICTs carried out at vocational high schools with the ultimate goal of being able to improve the quality of school learning. Based on observations in the field of SMK 1 Garut and SMK Al Musaddadiyah Ciledug Garut is one of the public schools and private schools that have these advantages.
