To academics of higher education institutes, motiving, enhancing and improving student learning have never been easy. Different types of course work or continuous assessment or assessment for learning activities are designed to lead students to achieve the intended learning outcomes of respective courses. Depending on the nature of courses, these activities vary and they can either be done individually or in groups. The question is whether these activities can achieve their stated goals or if they can, how much these activities can lead students to achieve the intended learning outcomes as reflected by a summative assessment, normally it is a timed final exam or a take-home final essay. The purpose of this paper is to investigate the correlations between formative assessment activities and the summative assessment. Data of an introductory statistics course of different cohorts of a private degree-granting institute in Hong Kong were used in this study. The results indicate that individual assignments have a strong relationship with the exam score, while group projects do not. More surprisingly, group projects are negatively related to exam scores. The implication is that academics should rethink how to make group work a better and fairer assessment for individual student’s contribution.

<p><em>One of the objectives of teaching and learning activities is to improve learning outcomes or student achievement. For this reason, it is very necessary for a teacher to do various ways so that these goals are achieved, including by applying various kinds of learning models that can increase the activeness of students in learning activities in the hope that this will also have an impact on improving student learning outcomes. How to increase the activity of students in low grades is a challenge for teachers because they see their relatively low cognitive development as well as the nature of boredom that is often faced by students in learning activities. An example of a learning model that can be applied to increase the activity of students in low grades in particular is by using the Problem Based Learning (PBL) learning model. With the application of this PBL learning model, students individually and in groups will use various thinking skills to solve problems, especially in learning activities.</em></p>

This study aims to improve student learning outcomes in mathematics subjects by using space wake media in fifth grade students at SDN. No. 025/XI Gedang Village. This research is a classroom action research conducted in two cycles. Each cycle consists of four activities, namely planning, implementation, observation, and reflection. The study involved 20 fifth grade students year 2017/2018 at SDN. No. 025/XI Gedang Village, Sungai Penuh District, Sungai Penuh City, Jambi Province. This research was conducted for three months from September to November of 2017. Data collected in this study is students learning outcomes. Data were collected by observation and test. Furthermore, the data were analyzed by using descriptive analysis and simple statistical test. The results showed that student activity in learning improved. The increasing of student activity can be seen from from the increasing spirit of students in following the series of learning activities. Students are more active during lesson activities, students are able to ask questions, and students are able to answer the test questions well. Increasing of student learning activities are also in tandem with improving student learning outcomes. The average score of student learning outcomes increased from 61.50 before the action was given to 76.0 in cycle I and increased again to 80.25 in cycle II. Likewise with learning mastery. Learning completeness increased from 25.00% before the action was given to 80.00% in cycle I and increased again to 100.00% in cycle II. Thus, the use of build space media in the mathematics subjects can improve activity and learning outcomes of fifth grade students at SDN. No. 025/XI Gedang Village year 2017/2018.

Organic chemistry has the long-standing reputation as a challenging course, and organic synthesis is an aspect of organic chemistry that requires students to make the most links between concepts and requires the highest order of thinking. One-on-one interviews were conducted with students from a second undergraduate organic chemistry course in which participants solved synthesis problems using a think aloud protocol. Those problems had been previously designed to scaffold students' acquisition of synthesis problem-solving skills. The research question for this study asked whether students worked through the synthesis learning activities as designed, toward the intended learning outcomes. The results show that in some questions, students used or tried to use desirable problem solving skills, such as using reaction mechanisms and chemical principles to explore possible solutions. However, with other question types, students (i) relied on familiarity with the reactions in question and lacked a problem-solving strategy when they could not recall the answer or (ii) avoided the purpose of the question and attempted to provide an answer that the professor “wanted.” Strategies for promoting desired synthesis skills and addressing other issues are discussed.
