Assessment usually plays an indispensable role in the education and it is the prime indicator of student learning achievement. Exam questions are the main form of assessment used in learning. Setting appropriate exam questions to achieve the desired outcome of the course is a challenging work for the examiner. Therefore this research is mainly focused to categorize the exam questions automatically into its learning levels using Bloom’s taxonomy. Natural Language Processing (NLP) techniques such as tokenization, stop word removal, lemmatization and tagging were used before generating the rule set to be used for this classification. WordNet similarity algorithms with NLTK and cosine similarity algorithm were developed to generate a unique set of rules to identify the question category and the weight for each exam question according to Bloom’s taxonomy. These derived rules make it easy to analyze the exam questions. Evaluators can redesign their exam papers based on the outcome of the evaluation process. A sample of examination questions of the Department of Computing and Information Systems, Wayamba University, Sri Lanka was used for the evaluation; weight assignment was done based on the total value generated from both WordNet algorithm and the cosine algorithm. Identified question categories were confirmed by a domain expert. The generated rule set indicated over 70% accuracy.

The ability to make evidence-based decisions, and hence to reason on questions concerning scientific and societal aspects, is a crucial goal in science education and science communication. However, science denial poses a constant challenge for society and education. Controversial science issues (CSI) encompass scientific knowledge rejected by the public as well as socioscientific issues, i.e., societal issues grounded in science that are frequently applied to science education. Generating evidence-based justifications for claims is central in scientific and informal reasoning. This study aims to describe attitudes and their justifications within the argumentations of a random online sample (N = 398) when reasoning informally on selected CSI. Following a deductive-inductive approach and qualitative content analysis of written open-ended answers, we identified five types of justifications based on a fine-grained category system. The results suggest a topic-specificity of justifications referring to specific scientific data, while justifications appealing to authorities tend to be common across topics. Subjective, and therefore normative, justifications were slightly related to conspiracy ideation and a general rejection of the scientific consensus. The category system could be applied to other CSI topics to help clarify the relation between scientific and informal reasoning in science education and communication.

During the National Sports Week XVIII held in September 2012, wrestling athletes from WestJava Province could not meet the expected performance; since they got only one gold and twobronze medals. The athletes performance usually affected by three factors; physicalcondition, technique, and mental condition. To achieve the best result, the gold medal, athletesshould have good predominant physical condition indicators, such as muscle strength,endurance, power, and flexibility. The purpose of this study is to know the physical conditionof West Javas wrestling athletes in the National Sports Week XVIII. The method used wascross-sectional descriptive study using secondary data obtained from Sports MedicineDepartment of National Sports Committee of Indonesia in Bandung. The data are chosen frompredominant physical condition indicator explained before, along with cardio-respiratoryendurance. After that, we compared the data we obtained with National Sports Committee ofIndonesias standards and categorized it specific type; less, enough, good, very good, andperfect. Male and female athletes had different category system. After analyzed, we found thatseveral predominant physical components of wrestling athletes of West Java Province inNational Sports Week XVIII had not met the requirement for good and perfect category andneeded to be improved. In conclusion, athletes should be able to get a gold medal if theirpredominant physical component achieves the good and perfect category.
