Investigating control and scientific performance of educators in universities

Academic practice showed that the control work in an advanced instructive foundation gains an articulated scientific direction, which permits us to discuss a solitary control and insightful action of instructors. The point of this exploration is to consider the control and logical movement of educators as the intentional, educated cycle regarding acquiring data, contemplating the status and improvement patterns, recognizing the need to change the course of the instructive interaction, to guarantee the outcome - the nature of understudies' schooling. The work depends on perception, investigation of the control and scientific movement of educators, speculation, systematization, amalgamation, educational test, master appraisal technique, quantitative and subjective examination of exploration results, and testing. The adequacy of the control and insightful movement of educators is guaranteed by the execution of the fundamental elements of the instructive cycle throughout control and scientific action dependent on refreshing the abstract situation of a person. Also, the usage of focused preparing of educators for the excellent execution of control and logical exercises.

A Comparison of English Reading Texts in Textbooks and Grade 9 National Exams

This study aimed to investigate the English reading texts in Team-Up in English 1-3 and Grade 9 National Exams or English Ordinary National Educational Test (O-NET) examinations (2014-2017) in terms of reading text types and also take a look at tenses and aspects in the reading texts. Reading texts were collected and analyzed quantitatively by frequency count and qualitatively based on the categories of NSW (New South Wales) Government Education (2011). Twelve tenses and aspects were used to analyze tenses and aspects of the reading passages. Result revealed that the most frequently found text type in both the textbooks and the O-NET examinations was Information Report. Most tenses and aspects found were present simple, and past simple.

SOCIAL THEORIES AND DISCURSIVE AND NON-DISCURSIVE SOCIAL PRACTICES: AN EDUCATIONAL TEST

The article is devoted to identifying the potential of using the results of the study of non-discursive social practices to understand the behavioral basis for the possible practical use of social theories. The example of the field of education focuses on the distinction between cognitive, affective and psychomotor dimensions of social communication. Assumptions have been made about the underestimation of the affective, and especially the psychomotor realm, to identify the resource and limits of discursive practices. Classical studies in educational psychology, primarily the works of Benjamin Bloom, David Krathwohl, Anita Harrow and their followers, are involved in philosophical analysis as its object. Educational practices are bodily practices no less than discursive ones. However, it is impossible to reduce these practices to the entering either to the self-sufficient universe of the text or into the self-sufficient universe of the body. The realm of the emotional serves as a link between the bodily and the cognitive, and applying to the emotional experience of values can be the best way to consolidate both bodily and cognitive practices. One of the important conclusions is the recognition not only of the relative autonomy of the cognitive, affective and psychomotor realms in the theoretical aspect, but also the identification of their practical interdependence. The sphere of education appears as a model for observing how a person masters the levels and, parallel and mutually determined, dimensions of the pyramids of the development of personal abilities. Achieving perfection by a person in one dimension is impossible without the simultaneous development of his abilities in the other two. Discourse appears for the person as a situation in which he/she experiences the integral result of the development of his/her abilities in all three dimensions — cognitive, affective and psychomotor.

APLIKASI CROSS VALIDATION PADA MODEL SKILL SISWA

One of the activities in the educational test is making a diagnosis to determine whether or not a person's skills are present. This study specifically aims to design student skill models in basic mathematics courses and perform validation using a leave-one-out cross validation to select an accurate model. The diagnostic test questions used in this study ranged from moderate to difficult. The findings of this study indicate that the method of fixed test questions in order of questions from easy to difficult is better than the method of design of the initial fixed test questions.

Teacher Development Through Coaching and Mentoring Integrated with the 21st Century Instructional Strategies

The research aimed to develop and evaluate teacher concepts and performances before and after training through coaching and mentoring procedures integrated with the 21st century instructional strategies of project-based learning, problem-based learning, and research-based learning. The subjects were 96 teachers teaching at schools under the jurisdiction of Si Sa Ket Primary Education Office 3, Si Sa Ket Province, Thailand, purposively selected from 11 schools with lower average scores of ordinary national educational test (ONET) than those of the national level. The results revealed the teachers gained better concepts since the posttest scores were significantly higher than those of the pretest at the .01 level. The teachers’ performances were at a level of pass with distinction, they satisfied with the training session at a higher level, and their composed lesson plans were at a fair level.
