Chapter 30 focuses on issues relating to norm-referenced measures, in particular the use of norms in international assessments. This chapter highlights some of the complex issues involved in norming scores. While the initial sections of the chapter review some general issues of norm construction and use, this is not a chapter on the mechanics of how to produce norms. Rather, it focuses on issues of when and how to use norms, what aggregations of samples to base them on, and how norm-referenced scores should be interpreted. In particular, it considers issues relating to the development and use of international norms. Test norms are often essential for stakeholders to understand the meaning of test scores by providing information about the standing of the test taker relative to other members of the population. Finally, the chapter notes that culturally related variance may reflect either measurement bias or effects of cultural style.

Taking Care

Not all schools are obsessed with ensuring high test scores for students. Some schools have designed themselves around a priority of creating safe, empathetic learning environments. The Chrysalis Charter School in Palo Cedro, Calif., has a mission of developing a culture of kindness. The Minnesota New Country School in Henderson, Minn., has embraced mindfulness practices as a strategy for defusing the emphasis on competition and helping students tune into their own learning and behavior.

Classroom Level

At the district level of a school system, there are immense pressures to add value to the community as a whole. This is achieved through high test scores, graduation rates, and the production of a vital workforce that will propel the community financially. This is a daunting task when the rate of information growth is increasing exponentially faster than educators can adapt. Offering STEM education is an effective means of meeting this demand. This chapter will outline steps that will facilitate the implementation of STEM throughout a school district, school, and classrooms.

Using the background of the problem is this research is the lack of knowledge of theachers and students about how use the application Google Classroom (GC) in learning activities, but there are still students do not have google account to log in the application GC. This research is a descriptive qualiative research. This study aims to determine how the quality of mathematics learning in the use of the application GC of combinatorics material for class XII IPA students of SMA Negeri 1 Pasir Penyu. The subjects of this study were selected based on the student’s daily test scores on combinatoric material using the application GC, where the subjects of this study included six students of class XII IPA 3 consisting of two students who had high test scores, two students who had mean test scores and two students who had low test scores. Data collection techniques are interview guidelines and questinnaire sheets. Furthermore, the data obtained will be analyzed based on indicators of the quality of mathematics learning. Data analyzed techniques in this study were data reduction, data presentation, and data verification. Based on the final results of the questionnaire sheets scores and the average posttest so that the average of both is 71,5 whit good categories, it can be concluded that the quality of mathematics learning in the use of the application GC of combinatorics material for class XII IPA 3 students of SMA Negeri 1 Pasir Penyu is good.

Eleven patients with clinically diagnosed multiple sclerosis were simultaneously evaluated with history, physical, and neurologic evaluations and a series of objective neurophysiology tests. Patients were then scored independently on clinical stage of their disease using a system based on symptoms in history or findings on physical or neurologic examination. Test scores on objective tests were compared with clinical scores with each evaluator. Patients with high test scores on clinical evaluation usually had high test scores on objective testing. Symptoms and physical findings were then correlated with abnormalities on objective tests. Objective abnormalities in visual evoked response and auditory evoked response on several occasions preceded the development of symptoms. All patients except for two had more than one abnormality on objective testing, suggesting a high likelihood that objective tests are helpful in the diagnosis of early-stage multiple sclerosis.
