A Formative Assessment Example: Word Association Test

This research was carried out to determine the effectiveness and functionality of the word association test (WAT), which is a formative assessment tool that is frequently emphasized on today’s modern education systems. The study group consisted of 60 students in a public school in Kocaeli in the school year 2018-2019. Participants were identified using convenience sampling technique. The data of the study were obtained by using pre-test and post-test quasi-experimental design with no control group. The data were categorized by subjecting to content analysis. The findings were tabulated using the cut-off technique and analyzed using the Wilcoxon signed-rank test. When the results of the study were examined, it was concluded that conceptual change and development occurred in participants’ minds and there was a significant difference in the results of the Wilcoxon test performed before and after the implementation. It was observed that the students wrote 1669 words before the implementation, and the number increased to 2193 after it. This shows that the students associate the key concept of “migration” with more words after the implementation and thus there is a wider connotation related to migration in their minds. In addition, the results of this research reveal that the WAT is suitable for formative assessment and can be used in educational studies.

ABSTRACT Toilet training is an effort to train children to be able to control and urinate (BAK) and defecate (BAB). Toilet training is one of the main tasks of children at toddler age. Toilet training is one of the main tasks of children in toddler age which is very important to be done to create independence in children in controlling BAK and BAB and children know the parts of the body and their functions. Data in 2012 shows that ± 60% of parents do not teach toilet training to children from an early age. The aim of the study was to find out the effectiveness of toilet training education on maternal behavior and toilet skills in toddler age training (18-36 months). The study was conducted in July-August 2018. This type of quantitative research used the design of the Quasy pretest and posttest experiment with non-equivalent control group design. Samples were 36 mothers and 36 children with purposive sampling technique. Data analysis used Paired t test, Wilcoxon test, Man-Whitney test an Independent t test. The results showed that toilet training education through lecture methods, modules and maze games was more effective than toilet training education through lecture and leaflet methods on children's knowledge and abilities. Conversely, for the role of mothers in supervision there is no significant difference in effectiveness. Health education is recommended in health promotion programs to increase maternal knowledge, the role of mothers and the ability of toilet training children independently.

Health education is one of the techniques to increase someone’s knowledge level due to the aim of improving knowledge and well understanding regarding microplastic and microplastic pollution. This research aimed to analyze the effect of health education towards the knowledge regarding macroplastic and microplastic pollution among students at the medical record and health major in the college of health sciences Imelda in terms of health education. This research used a quantitative approach with a Quasi-Experimental Study Design of a non-equivalent control group. The population was all the students with the medical record and health information major. The sampling technique used was purposive sampling, all the first-year students. The group of the sample consisted of two groups- the intervention and the control group. The intervention group consisted of 73 people who have given health education. Control group consisted of 73 people who have not given any health education. The statistic test used was the Wilcoxon test. The statistic result on the knowledge variable among the experiment group who had a good knowledge level refer to the pre-test score only 4.1 %. After given health education, the increasing number of people who had a good knowledge level (76.1%). The good knowledge level among the control group only showed 1.4% (pre-test and post-test). The result showed there was a significant increase after given health education among the experiment group (p=0.00). However, another result showed there was no significant difference among the control group (p=1.00). Health education towards macroplastic and microplastic pollution had a significant influence to the knowledge level for students. It is recommended for further research to examine the role of knowledge towards attitudes and behaviors or actions in the management of macro and microplastic waste pollution. Based on the results of the pre-test where respondents still have less and moderate knowledge while the issue of plastic waste in Indonesia requires full attention and more participation from the community from society, it is necessary to get the attention of educational institutions to further elaborate and educate students in pollution macro-plastic and microplastic waste.
