Abstract:

Standardized evaluations are a widely used tool in education and assessment. These evaluations are carefully designed to present uniform questions and instructions to all participants, ensuring consistent measurement of a student’s knowledge or skills in a specific area. They play a crucial role in assessing and enhancing students’ proficiency in the English language. Hence The purpose of this study is to examine the washback effect of standardized testing in the English language subject.

The subject matter of the article are tribological and material tests of gas-nitrided constructional steels, including 38HMJ and AISI52100, cooperating frictionally with C45 toughened steel or 100Cr6 hardened steel. All friction tests were carried out using the standardized “3 cylinders – cone” method. The results of the obtained tests showed a slightly more beneficial effect of the cooperation of nitrided constructional steels with 100Cr6 hardened bearing steel.

The objective assessment of academic achievements is carried out by means of standardized procedures, students being in equal conditions. The Russian State exam is different from the traditional final exam both in its contents and form. A correct test is a set of balanced test tasks the features of which are defined on the base of a representative sample of students. Tasks the complexity of which is lower than 20% should not be included into tests as they are too difficult (less than 20% of the tested fulfilled them) as well as tasks the complexity of which is higher than 80% as they are too e

Abstract:

Both school and district administrators use the results of standardized, large-scale tests to inform decisions about the need for, or success of, educational programs and interventions. However, test results at the school level are subject to random fluctuations due to changes in cohort, test items, and other factors outside of the school’s control. This study examined year to year changes in school level results on standardized tests delivered in Ontario, Canada. G-theory analyses found that test scores are not stable enough for meaningful conclusions to be made based on year to year changes

Elementary students in North Carolina are not required to take social studies standardized tests. As a result, assumptions about social studies instruction have emerged.

Data from a multi-university, longitudinal study examining the state of social studies in elementary grades are highlighted. Selected findings from the statewide research provide a framework for considering the assumptions.

AbstractIntroductionThe behavioral variant of frontotemporal dementia presents clinical specificities and difficulties for its early diagnosis in the initial stages due to the overlap of symptoms with other psychiatric pathologies. The delay in diagnosis places the subject in a state of vulnerability because the treatment will not be adequate and the alteration in the psycho-functional capacity can expose him to risks.ObjectiveThe objective of this research was to describe the importance at the forensic and health level of the neuropsychological evaluation of social cognition in people with be

Abstract:

This study investigates how well the Problem-Based Inquiry Method (PBIM) improves academic performance, learning motivation, and critical thinking abilities. Innovative techniques are required since traditional education methods frequently fall short in fostering intellectual curiosity and higher-order cognitive skills. Inquiry-based learning and problem-solving are combined in PBIM to encourage active student participation. A control group (n=67) that received traditional instruction was contrasted with an experimental group (n=66) that used PBIM in a quasi-experimental design. Motivation sur

Abstract:

The contours of the school choice debate are by now familiar to public policy students, but a lack of agreement about the appropriate weights to be given to the variables affecting the subject continues to splinter their ranks. On the surface, there appears to be a consensus that the latest scores on standardized tests will resolve the uncertainty as to which type of education, public or private, is most effective, but a dip into the literature quickly dispels any such hope. The only thing clear is that nonpublic schools, even with one financial hand tied behind them, do not perform any more p

Abstract:

Although students in Singapore receive formal science instruction in Primary 3 or 4 (age 9 or 10) and secondary school (age 13 to 16), they are exposed to thermal physics phenomena from an early age. Subsequently, understudies frequently structure elective or deficient logical originations connected with warm physical science a long time before they start learning it in the science homeroom. Because it does not take into account students' preexisting beliefs about thermal physics, the group of educators who participated in this study believed that traditional instruction would be largely i

Abstract:

Over the past decade, several states have created comprehensive accountability systems designed to increase student learning in public schools. These accountability systems are based on "high-stakes" standardized testing of a state curriculum. Rewards and interventions for local educators are based largely upon students' performance on these tests. Using the recent accountability reforms in Georgia as a backdrop, this article considers the role of local flexibility within such an accountability system--flexibility over paperwork, resources, personnel, and curriculum for local educators.

Abstract:

Knowing a prerequisite structure among skills in a subject domain effectively enables several educational applications, including intelligent tutoring systems and curriculum planning. Traditionally, educators or domain experts use intuition to determine the skills' prerequisite relationships, which is time-consuming and prone to fall into the trap of blind spots. In this paper, we focus on inferring the prerequisite structure given access to students' performance on exercises in a subject. Nevertheless, it is challenging since students' mastery of skills can not be directly observed, but can o

In recent years, significant attention has been given to the purported effects of administrative segregation (AS)—previously known as solitary confinement (SC)—on mental health. These effects have been the subject of commentary by courts, legislators, politicians, and the press. However, research into this area has been limited, and studies have lacked strong evidentiary design. In this paper, we review the research into the purported effects of AS. We evaluate the strength of each study’s design by the presence of certain elements: baseline measures, standardized tests, control groups, statis
