To find out the competencies a person has, we need a tool called evaluation. There are two things that need to be distinguished in evaluation, the meaning is measurement and assessment or interpretation. To be able to measure correctly, you need the correct measurement tool too. The correct measuring device must meet several requirements, including: valid,reliable, and practical. There are several types of measuring devices. In addition there are subjective measurement tools (essays), objectives (multiple choice, matchmaking, short content, and right-wrong), and performance, now it is beginning to be known as portfolio measurement tools. The portfolio is a collection of the work of a student as a result of carrying out a performance task, which is determined by the teacher or by students with the teacher, as part of an effort to achieve learning goals, or achieve competencies specified in the curriculum. Key Word : Learning, Assessment, Portofolio

Measurement is the process of comparing measuring devices against measured objects. For measurement of magnitude, a measurement tool is needed. In this research activity, the object to be measured is the temperature at the metal expansion. To realize this goal, it is necessary to study the temperature measuring device on the metal expansion. The sensor used for temperature measuring devices is LM35 which is equipped by Arduino and LCD. Based on the test results obtained voltage values measured by a multimeter with an LCD display close to 100 percent or about 99.99 percent. With these results, it can be concluded that the temperature measurement meter is in accordance with the expected research objectives.

The study’s purpose was to compare the results of G&K studies of some measurement instruments, used in the current study and also check their reliability. These are a multiple-choice test, a structured grid, and a performance task applied for measuring students’ performance. It is based on Generalizability Theory (GT). The population was the 6th grade students in Antalya, a city in the Mediterranian area in Turkey. During the 2014-2015 school years, forty students (23 girls and 17 boys) from two 6th grade classes randomly selected from two middle schools. The first author was the instructor and it took a month to teach “Let’s Circuit Electricity” unit in a regular classroom environment. For the study’s purpose, a multiple-choice test, a structured grid, and a performance task, developed by the researchers, were utilized to measure students’ achievement in each. The structured grids and performance tasks were graded by three teachers. According to the findings, KR-20 reliability coefficient of the multiple-choice test was .68; while G coefficient .68 and Phi (Φ) coefficients was .64. The Cronbach’s Alpha coefficients for structured grid and G coefficient were .96 and .91, respectively whereas Phi (Φ) coefficient was as .83. Cronbach’s Alpha coefficient for performance task was found as .89; G coefficient as .89, and Phi (Φ) coefficient as .86. According to the results of decision studies, variation of G and Phi coefficient for all three measurements were in line. We also found that three graders’ results were consistent with each other for the structured grid and performance tasks’ grading results.

Background. Despite the strong link between health literacy and cardiovascular health outcomes, health literacy measurements remain flawed and fragmented. There exists a gap in the knowledge when formulating a valid measurement to capture the broad concept of health literacy. The existence of various tools for health literacy measurement also hampers the availability of health literacy data. Additionally, little research is available on a valid measurement tool for cardiovascular health literacy. Objective. This study aims to provide an overview of the health literacy measurement tools used in the context of cardiovascular health. Method. A scoping review was conducted. Two electronic databases, Medline and Embase, were searched to identify studies that described a tool for the measurement of health literacy in the context of cardiovascular health. Results. After reviewing the available studies, 53 studies met the inclusion criteria. A total of 26 health literacy measurement tools were identified in the studies. Among the 26 tools, 16 used an objective measurement approach, 9 adopted a subjective approach, and 1 employed a mixed approach. Additionally, 28 studies used tools to measure print literacy, 15 studies measured print literacy and numeracy, and 5 studies measured print literacy, oral literacy, and numeracy. Conclusions. STOFHLA, TOFHLA, and REALM were the mostly commonly used tools in the selected studies. The majority of tools were based heavily on reading skills and word recognition. Researchers should focus on the development of more comprehensive and reliable health literacy measurement tool(s) specific to cardiovascular health to assist health care providers to more efficiently and accurately identify people with cardiovascular problems who have inadequate health literacy.

Child domestic work (CDW) is a hidden form of child labour. Globally, there were an estimated 17.2 million CDWs aged 5–17 in 2012, but there has been little critical analysis of methods and survey instruments used to capture prevalence of CDW. This rapid systematic review identified and critically reviewed the measurement tools used to estimate CDWs in Low- and Middle-Income Countries, following PRISMA guidelines (PROSPERO registration: CRD42019148702). Fourteen studies were included. In nationally representative surveys, CDW prevalence ranged from 17% among 13–24-year-old females in Haiti to 2% of children aged 10–17 in Brazil. Two good quality studies and one good quality measurement tool were identified. CDW prevalence was assessed using occupation-based methods (n = 9/14), household roster (n = 7) and industry methods (n = 4). Six studies combined approaches. Four studies included task-based questions; one study used this method to formally calculate prevalence. The task-based study estimated 30,000 more CDWs compared to other methods. CDWs are probably being undercounted, based on current standard measurement approaches. We recommend use of more sensitive, task-based methods for inclusion in household surveys. The cognitive and pilot testing of newly developed task-based questions is essential to ensure comprehension. In analyses, researchers should consider CDWs who may be disguised as distant or non-relatives.

Organizations are challenged to develop new organizational skills such as flexibility or expertise in order to quickly respond to changes in technology, competition and customer preferences. Companies cannot be competitive or successful if their business and information systems and technology (IS/IT) strategies are not strategic aligned. Nowadays, the importance of intangible assets is higher than traditional physical assets and performance measurement tools need to capture this new reality. Measuring organizational performance is a continuous challenge for both managers and researchers. Balanced scorecard (BSC) is a powerful tool that gives to managers a fast, but comprehensive view of the business including operational measures on customer satisfaction, organization's innovation, activities improvement, as well as financial measurements. In this paper the authors address the BSC and promote the discussion about the strengths and the limitations and pointing out new developments to overcome the today´s business trends.

In Chapter 9, various approaches to teaching signs to non-speaking or minimally verbal persons are examined, including general exposure, an incidental or milieu approach, games and group activities, and specific training sessions. Learning goals are identified not only for the main or primary user of the system, but also for that person’s communication partners (family members, caregivers, friends) and persons in the wider environment. Guidelines for using the Simplified Sign System with the target populations are provided in order to establish good and consistent communication practices that will help to maximize users’ success with the system. Such guidelines or strategies include ensuring a positive signing environment, establishing visual contact, using key word signing, accepting errors in sign formation from the main user, rewarding progress, using facial expressions and environmental cues or contextual information to enhance vocabulary acquisition, and adapting the rate and frequency of signing. Finally, the authors anticipate and address many of the questions or concerns that teachers or caregivers may have as they embark on a program of using Simplified Signs.

A new and extremely effective teaching-learning-assessment methodology is introduced for continuous active learning in outcome based education (Teaching, Learning and Evaluation-OBTLE). This method addresses the modern methods of education like personalized learning, participatory learning, peer evaluation, revised Bloom's Taxonomy, and all graduate Attributes including the corresponding competencies and performance indicators. Most importantly this method encourages socratic questioning which facilitates inquiry based learning, which is being projected as the future of learning in any context. The method may be extremely useful to identify and take remedial measures for students who may need additional attention from teachers.

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.
