In this work, a literature review of peer tutoring studies in Elementary Education Mathematics has been carried out. This review has focused only on those studies in which psychological variables are analysed. The main objectives of this work have been to compile these studies, to analyse the influence of peer tutoring at a psychological level on the students and to identify those variables that influence the results obtained (type of tutoring, ages of the participants, duration of the sessions...). The final review is made up of 22 studies. Among the main conclusions obtained from its analysis, it should be noted that 16 of these 22 studies reported important improvements in the psychological variables analysed (73% effectiveness), which is a sign of the potential of this methodology. The psychological variable on which the greatest improvements were detected was that of self-concept (89% of studies with evident improvements). Although the conclusions obtained can give a good sample of the potential of this methodology on a psychological level, a series of limitations are provided in this work to be taken into account. These limitations must be taken into account when analysing these conclusions from a critical perspective.

We aimed to explore psychological effects of the coronavirus pandemic on Hungarian adults in the time of the national quarantine situation in May 2020.We conducted a cross-sectional observational study with the use of an anonymous online questionnaire that consisted of 65 items. The following measuring instruments were used: Perceived Stress Scale (PSS-10); The General Anxiety Disorder Assessment (GAD)-2; The Patient Health Questionnaire (PHQ)-2; European Quality of Life Visual Analogue Scale (EQ-VAS); Self-administered inventory of complaints (Hungarian questionnaire); Shortened (Hungarian) version of the Ways of Coping Questionnaire; 2 open-ended questions to examine the participants’ mood and ways of coping during the pandemic. The data of 431 participants were analyzed, their average age was 47.53 ± 11.66 years, and the percentage of females was 90%. The mean of participants’ scores were the following: 19.34 ± 7.97 for perceived stress, 73.05 ± 21.73 for health status, and 8.68 ± 4.65 for neurotic complaints. Thirty-four and one-tenth percent of participants were depressed, 36.2% were anxious, and they tended to use problem-focused coping strategies more frequently than emotion-focused ones. We found significant correlations between all of the seven examined psychological variables. Our results highlight the importance of stress management in the psychological support of healthy adults in quarantine situation caused by the coronavirus pandemic.

Currently, online learning becomes a new trend in the Indonesian education. But, the educators are not ready to adapt to online learning, especially in online learning assessments. This study aims to describe the alternative assessments in online learning that can be implemented at elementary education along with its advantages and disadvantages. This study employed a qualitative approach with the literature review method. Researchers collected a number of reputable national and international journal articles, textbooks, handbooks, regulations, and so on from the google scholar database, science direct, eric, and others related to research problems and objectives. The analysis of the literature review uses the critical appraisal method. The results of this study showed that online learning assessments that can be implemented in elementary education were formative and summative assessments. It included cognitive assessments, performance assessments, portfolios, writings and journals, self-assessment and peers-assessments. The use of online learning assessments has many advantages such as the availability to conduct tests on demand and at any time, provides direct feedback to users, the students’ quick access to the test results, and a more accurate measurement of student learning. However, online assessment systems also have several drawbacks, such as students who have low information technology (IT) skills might be disadvantaged. For this reason, in implementing online learning and assessment, teachers and students should master information and communication technology skills.

ABSTRACTBased on a previous pilot validation, once the internal consistency of the questionnaire of engagement in physical-sport activity (IMAF) for Primary Education is improved, a confirmatory factor analysis is carried out. In addition, external validity evidences are obtained by correlating the questionnaire with the physical self-concept. Finally, the variability of the physical-sport activity engagement regarding the sex and the intensity of the practice of physical activity is analysed. All that with a sample of 100 students of sixth grade of Primary Education (41% girls; 59% boys) aged between 11 and 12 (M = 11.89; SD = .314). The questionnaires IMAF (physical-sport engagement) and CAF-A (Shorten physical self-concept) have been used. The results of the research certify an improvement in internal consistency and in the percentage of total variance explained. Additionally, the structure of the questionnaire fits the proposed three-dimensional model. Lastly, it has been demonstrated that boys and people who practice physical-sport activity with high intensity show higher values in physical-sport engagement.KEYWORDS: engagement, physical-sport activity, questionnaire, validation, Primary Education. LABURPENAAurreko baliozkotze pilotu batetik abiaturik, Lehen Hezkuntzarako kirol-jarduera fisikoko inplikaziorako galdeketaren (IMAF) barne trinkotasuna behin hobetuta faktore-analisi baieztatzailea egiten da. Horretaz gain, itaunketa autokontzeptu fisikoarekin korrelazionatzean kanpo baliotasuneko ebidentziak lortzen dira. Azkenik galdeketaren aldagarritasuna sexuaren eta jarduera fisikoko praktikaren intentsitatearen arabera aztertzen da. Ikerketan Lehen Hezkuntzako seigarren mailako 100 ikaslek (% 41 neskak; % 59 mutilak) parte hartu dute, guztiak, 11 edo 12 urte izanez. Erabilitako itaunketak IMAF (kirol-jarduera fisikoko inplikazioa) eta CAF-A (autokontzeptu fisikoa laburbilduta) izan dira. Emaitzek barne trinkotasunean eta azaldutako bariantza totalaren portzentajean hobekuntza erakusten dute. Horretaz gain, itaunketaren egitura proposaturiko eredu tridimentsionalarekin bat dator. Amaitzeko, mutilak eta jarduera kirol-fisikoa intentsitate altuan praktikatzen dutenek inplikazio kirolfisikoan balio alturagoak erakusten dituztela frogatu da.GAKO-HITZAK: inplikazioa, kirol-jarduera fisikoa, galdeketa, baliozkotzea, Lehen Hezkuntza.

This paper wants to present a critical perspective in reading the discourse that has been played on social media in the last few days. With literature review method, the KPK Taliban is a form of discourse in which ideological values which are basically the principle of a person or group in determining the direction and purpose of how to proceed, are modified in such a way as to be sold or made into public commodities for political interests. The use of the term Taliban which is associated with hardline of Islam, wants to form an Islamic government in accordance with Islamic laws, is considered have a high 'selling power' so that it can be used to reduce the image of KPK as a law enforcement agency. Like a word, every journalist will try to make interesting headline to get a high view of readers. This term can seem to describe that there has been an internal radicalization in KPK that has created a system of eradicating selective corruption based on the ideology of investigator. From this point of view, social media can be said to be an easy facilitator to explore discourses of this kind. Due to the absence of a gate keeper or news editor, anyone who has an interest in them is free to release any statement even if it is not accompanied by valid data. Even rational and critical discussions such as the basic concept of public sphere are transformed into irrational
