Samhället idag har på senare tid fått en förändrad syn på kunskap och i förlängningen vilka sorts kunskaper dess medborgare ska besitta. Idag efterfrågas medborgare besitta mer än bara kunskaper, samhället efterfrågar utbildning för att dess medborgare ska kunna agera i den snabba takt samhället utvecklas i. Detta har gjort att skolutbildningens roll har blivit större än att bara förmedla reproduktiva kunskaper till sina elever, den ska hjälpa eleverna utveckla färdigheter, verktyg samt producera ny kunskap som ska hjälpa dem i sitt fortsatta liv som samhällsmedborgare.

The purpose of this study is to explore students’ perceptions and experiences of the school-subject Swedish. Ten qualitative interviews with students in school year nine have been carried out and the results of these interviews constitute the basis of this study.   The result shows that students have a straight-forward attitude towards Swedish as a school-subject. The students identify skills such as reading, writing and speaking, and work in school mainly concerns perfecting these skills. The students think of Swedish as a subject with a clear purpose and find it important and useful.   The r

External representations (ERs), such as diagrams, animations, and dynamic models are vital tools for communicating and constructing knowledge in biochemistry.

In this article, first we describe a model of seven factors influencing students’ ability to learn from ERs.

This paper seeks to identify one of the key problems faced by academic institutions seeking accreditation. The accreditation process requires academic institutions to conduct a self-study analyzing how well a given program is meeting the learning outcomes the accreditation board uses in its assessment. This self-study by schools often contains qualitative or subjective data and does not directly correlate the learning outcomes being measured to student performance. The lack of quantitative measurements at a granular level means that it is difficult for the academic institution to prove that it

Formal assessment in education focuses on summative assessment in the form of grade allocation. This has limitations on the learning process for students. Formative assessment should also be incorporated into learning as an integral part as it offers many benefits. Reflective learning in the form of self-assessment is central to the process of formative assessment. Students, however, tend not to engage in the process of self-assessment. This skill can be developed by educators in an educational setting, but educators tend not to create an environment in which students can self-assess. The s

Abstract:
In South Africa (SA), access to the accounting profession is characterised by inequality, resulting from a multitude of socio-economic and historical issues. Assessment serves as the primary gate-keeping mechanism of the profession. However, more than twenty years after the end of apartheid, pass rates remain skewed by factors such as language and race. Accounting education research offers some quantitative studies which investigate diversity in academic performance by school-leaving results or by race, for example, and a number of studies which consider language in the accounting curriculum.

There are few studies on FA in the Arabian region, and there are no studies about student teachers’ perceptions of FA.

Abstract:
This illuminative evaluation utilises a mixed-method design to explore the first assessment experience of first year student nurses and consider how aspects of this experience impact on their self-beliefs regarding academic ability. The study investigates the experience of a cohort of student nurses as they go through their first summative assessment of theory on their Nursing diploma course at a post-1992 University in the West Midlands of the United Kingdom. It aims to elicit, from their perspective, aspects of the assessment process that enhance their confidence and self-belief about abilit

Abstract:
The state of Oregon, like many states, requires its districts’ teacher evaluation systems to include measures of student learning as well as a measure of teachers’ professional practice. State guidelines require use of state test data in assessed grades as one of the measures, but allow districts flexibility in which additional assessments to use and which source of information to prioritize when evaluating teachers. This study used existing data from one school district to compare students’ performance on a state reading and literature assessment to their performance on reading curriculum-b

Abstract:
In epidemiological studies of an exposure-response association, often only a mismeasured exposure is taken on each individual of the population under study. If ignored, exposure measurement error can bias the estimated exposure-response association in question. A reliability study may be carried out to estimate the relation between the mismeasured and true exposure, which could then be used to adjust for measurement error in the attenuated exposure-response relationship. However, taking repeated exposure measurements may be expensive. Given a fixed total study cost, a two-stage design may be a

Abstract:
Learning in school is in many respects done through language. However, it has been shown that the language of school assignments is seldom explicitly discussed in school. Writing tasks are furthermore assigned without clear guidelines for how certain lexical choices make one text more powerful than another. The present study is a contribution to a linguistic and pedagogical discussion of student writing. More specifically the focus is on the use of evaluative language in texts written by students in the school subject of Swedish in grades 5, 8 and 11. The major investigations of the study have
