By asking questions, students can practice many cognitive processes, and these processes may reflect clues about their thinking skills. In order to understand students’ cognitive levels in thinking, questions can be used as agents. Doing so, this study focuses on examining students’ questions in terms of cognitive levels of Bloom’s revised taxonomy, namely, remember, understand, apply, analyze, evaluate, and create. For this purpose, the study followed a qualitative research design with 106 high school students and eight language and literature teachers. To capture the relevant data, students were given two types of texts (narrative and informative), then asked to generate text-based questions as well as their answers. Along with students, teachers were interviewed to find out how they direct students to ask comprehension questions according to instructional strategies they used in asking questions. The data were analyzed through descriptive and content analysis. The results showed that participant students mainly asked questions addressing at the analyze level for the narrative text, and at the understand level for the informative text. These levels are assumed as lower-order thinking skills according to the taxonomy, and possible reasons were discussed with further recommendations.

Hippocampal atrophy and neuron loss are common symptoms of Alzheimer's disease (AD). The hippocampal region is well known for producing oscillations at different frequency bands due to the neuronal network architecture. However, the mechanism of Ripple high frequency variation in hippocampal region with the course of AD disease has not been correctly assessed. We proposed time-frequency analysis using wavelet transform and constructing Granger causality network to analyze the characteristics of Hippocampal sharp wave-ripple (SPW-R) complexes in APP/PS1 mice at different cognitive levels. We use wavelet transform to overcome the shortcoming that the traditional Short Time Fourier Transform cannot deal with the unsteady signal frequency, and construct the Granger causality network to verify our results. By analyzing ripple frequency band energy changes and directional transfer function matrix in hippocampal CA1 region of mice with different cognitive levels, we found that the loss of ripple high frequency energy and decreased network connectivity in hippocampal CA1 region of APP/PS1 mice were correlated with the degree of memory loss. We believe that from mild dementia to severe dementia. The decreased cell activity in APP/PS1 mouse CA1 region leads to changes in Ripple high-frequency time-frequency energy and network connectivity for theoretical reasons. Our results provide support for assessing cognitive loss in APP/PS1 mice from the perspective of Ripple high frequency in hippocampus CA1 region.

Stunting is a nutritional status that is based on the Body Height index by Age (TB / U). The incidence of stunting that has taken place since childhood has a very strong relationship with slow motor and IQ (intelligence) is lower. The level of development of children has a higher quality than normal resources this has increased cognitive levels, poor learning and psychosocial achievement. The purpose of this study is to see whether there is a relationship between stunting events and the level of development of toddlers aged 36-48 months in TK Pertiwi Majene 2019. This type of research is observational analytic research with a cross-sectional study with the method of Exhaustive Sampling and the instruments used are microtome and graphs used. used as a KPSP questionnaire developmental level questionnaire. The sample used was toddlers aged 36-48 months as many as 38 people. The results of the analysis approved by Chi-Square showed rejected with a significant value of 0.37, which means greater than 0.05 (p> 0.05). It is possible to conclude that there is a significant relationship between the incidence of stunting with the level of development of toddlers aged 36-48 months. Suggestions for further researchers to be able to add factors that can influence the occurrence of stunting as well as adding samples to get more significant results.

The examination is a key activity in determining what the learner has gained from the study. Institutions of higher learning (IHL) perform this activity through various assessment methods (test/examination, practical, etc.). The world today is focused on automation of exam generation which is ongoing with dire need during this period of the COVID-19 pandemic when education is greatly affected, leading to embracing online learning and examination. A text/exam comprises questions and answers that focus on evaluation to determine the student’s conversant level in the area of study. Each question has a cognitive level as described by (Armstrong, 2016) in the revised Bloom’s taxonomy. Questions chosen have cognitive levels based on the level of study and standardization of the exam. There is, therefore, a need to consider the question’s cognitive level along with other factors when generating an examination by incorporating deep learning algorithms.

Research issues of specificity and efficiency of the computer monitoring of knowledge as a high-priority method of diagnostics of the level of students’ educational attainments are made actual. The essence of the interrelated notions such as “ computer monitoring of knowledge”, “ computer testing”, “ test assignment” is revealed.On the basis of analysis of available references the objective of computer testing is defined, the reasons of figuring out the objective results which are achieved by the means of two constituents that are proper prepared test and actionable hardware system are set. At the same time the general properties of test such as validity, complexity, reliability, stability, representativeness, significancy, truthfulness, test hypothesis and discriminant are assigned. As a rule, test consists of two parts: informational and operational. The technology of constructing test tasks is characterized, it presupposes observance of number of rules: each test task should evaluate the achievements of an important and significant educational goal; it should check the appropriate level of knowledge acquisition, as well as higher cognitive levels and the time allocated for the test task which should be spent on finding the answer, but not on understanding the condition of the question. Along with that, the efficiency of computer testing is analyzed, which depends on the variability and multiplicity of created test tasks. Based on the results of the research we have the reason to confirm that computer testing being promising direction of modern educational process becomes constituent of the modern knowledge diagnostics. It broadens the means of control and evaluation of the level of educational achievements, it is an alternative to traditional methods of monitoring, it can be carried out taking into account different types and forms of control as a tool of operational management.Computer testing enables to audit knowledge of a large number of people simultaneously in a short span of time; random selection of questions from the course unit; processing of test results on a personal computer using a rating scale.

This study investigates in a qualitative manner the psychosocial benefits perceived by the parents of children enrolled in a private Aftershool (AS) program in Romania. The theoretical background includes aspects of school-family-community collaboration and characteristics and legislative frames supporting Afterschool programs in Romania and in the EU space. By using an online focus group approach, the objective was to identify the dimensions of the children-related benefits of the Afterschool program perceived by the parents (6 participants) at social, emotional and cognitive levels, as well as to identify their needs and suggestions regarding the compassion-based educational activities that the AS program might offer to their children. The results indicate a general satisfaction with the AS program, as well as the readiness of the parents to get involved in activities oriented towards community together with their children and the personnel of the AS program.

Abstract:This study aims to describe the distribution of cognitive levels of questions in the 2018 Revised Class XII Mathematics Textbook for Congruence and Similarity Based on Bloom's Taxonomy. Bloom's Taxonomy used is a revised Bloom's Taxonomy with cognitive process dimensions consisting of: remembering(C1), understanding(C2), applying(C3), analyzing(C4), evaluating(C5), and creating(C6). This type of research was descriptive research with a qualitative approach. Sources of data in this study were questions about the material congruence, similarity and competency test questions contained in the mathematics textbooks of class XII students. The research was carried out with the method of collecting documentation data and using research instruments in the form of analysis sheets and analysis conformity sheets. The results showed that the distribution of the cognitive level of questions on the congruence and similarity material contained the cognitive level of understanding(C2) as much as 18.2%, applying(C3) as much as 50% and analyzing(C4) as much as 31.8%, with the dominant cognitive level being cognitive level of applying(C3) and does not include cognitive levels of remembering(C1), evaluating(C2) and creating(C6). So it was found that the distribution of the cognitive level of the questions on the material of congruence and similarity topic did not vary or was not proportional. with the dominant cognitive level being cognitive level of applying(C3) and does not include cognitive levels of remembering(C1), evaluating(C2) and creating(C6). So it was found that the distribution of the cognitive level of the questions on the material of congruence and similarity topic did not vary or was not proportional. with the dominant cognitive level being cognitive level of applying(C3) and does not include cognitive levels of remembering(C1), evaluating(C2) and creating(C6).

The practice of gross motor coordination allows the infant to perform experiential actions to reach maturity, evidencing the passage from practical action to the action of thinking. In this way, feelings and sensations are promoted; discovering one's own body, space and time. The objective of the research was to describe the level of gross motor coordination presented by five-year-old children from I.E.I. N° 0345, Lima and I.E.I. N° 166 "Warma Kuyay", Callao, 2020. The research approach was quantitative, basic type and comparative descriptive design. The technique used was observation and the instrument was the checklist validated through the expert judgment technique and the reliability was 0.911, according to Cronbach's alpha. The results obtained describe the differences presented by five-year-old students in relation to gross motor coordination; the main indicators being the prioritization of the body through movement and the orientation to the development of motor activities, especially in the first years of life. This, because it favors the physical, emotional, socio-affective and cognitive levels, which evidences the differences between the samples investigated.

This article describes certain fragments of verbal-lexical and linguistic-cognitive levels of linguistic personality of the bilinguals with alexithymia. The goal lies in their determination, description, and comparison with the corresponding fragments of linguistic personality of the Russians with alexithymia for outlining the parameters that correlate or do not correlate with nationality and alexithymia status of the respondent. The research leans on the linguistic, quantitative and qualitative content analysis of autobiographical texts. The essential condition for including in the number of respondents was a pronounced alexithymia status (diagnosed in accordance with the Toronto Alexithymia Scale), affiliation to Altai or Yakut ethnic group, and command of the corresponding language (bilingualism). The following conclusions were made: certain cognitive and lexical-semantic parameters remain constant, while morphological and punctuation parameters among Altai and Yakut people cease to be the criterion of the pronounced alexithymia status of a person. The acquired results can be used as a complementary instrument for the diagnosis of alexithymia and its correction. The relevance of this research is substantiated by incidence of the phenomenon of alexithymia and the need for conducting comparative study of the texts of persons with alexithymia who belong to different ethnic groups, which allows determining the framework of such supplementary instrument of diagnosis as text analysis.
