This article aims to explore the reinforcement of confidence through dreams book. In the early condition, the students have low self-confidence. To increase theself-confidence of the students, the teacher begins to explore the dreams of the students and make the students realize their dreams through dreams book. Through qualitative descriptive, this research described how to implement dreams book in the learning process. The teacher asked the students to make simple book consisted of four pages. As the evaluation, the teacher used some assessments, such as observation, self-assessment, and friend assessment. The teacher asked the student to fill out the sheet of self-assessment rubric and friend assessment rubric. For the observation, the teacher made observation rubric. From the result of this evaluation, the teacher concluded that self-confidence of the students showed improvement. As much as 34% and 36% of students obtain score 3 and 4, respectively. Therefore, the students who get a score above the KKM (Kriteria Ketuntasan Minimal) is 80%. It means that the score in every indicator of self-confidence showed improvement.Keywords: Self-confidence, dreams book

The practice of radicalism in Indonesia has increased among all age groups included adolescents. The study found that adolescents or the young generation are mostly affected by radicalism and extremism. The aim of this study is to find out the implementation of English Self-Assessment Based on Pluralism in Preventing Youth Radicalism. This study uses a descriptive analysis method. The instrument of this study is students’ self-assessment worksheet focused on pluralism materials. Based on the analysis conducted, it can be concluded that by implementing English Self-Assessment rubric, the religious understanding of the students is good criteria.

We describe an organising principle for online learning materials we term coherently organised digital exercises and expositions. Larger in scale than individual lessons but smaller than a programme of study, this innovation in instructional practice is increasingly guiding our thinking in the development of university mathematics courses. Essentially we have taken the book and put it inside automatically assessed online quizzes. In doing this we embrace the potential provided by new technology to implement evidence-based practices such as spaced retrieval practice. This paper discusses details of this innovation, and how we have implemented it. On the basis of these experiences, we believe this innovation has the potential to change the model of education for university mathematics courses in substantial and non-trivial ways.

Assessment Rubric

In this paper, we investigate the effectiveness of employing rubric as a self-assessment technique of the project method, which covers a wide range of knowledge, skills and abilities in a variety of learning objects and activities. The assessment rubric is defined as a descriptive rating guide, which consists of specific pre-defined performance criteria (Petropoulou, Kasimatis&Retalis, 2015). It is an alternative assessment technique, which produces a valid evaluation through a process of determining attainment based on pre-defined qualitative classifications of specific criteria (Mitchel&Crawford, 1995). In this study, the assessment rubric was used as a self-assessment technique in the implementation of a project entitled "Utopia and Reality", conducted in ASPETE (School of Pedagogical and Technological Education) during the year 2017-2018.The students of two undergraduate departments of ASPETE (Civil Engineering Educators and Mechanical Engineering Educators) participated in the study. The rubric that was employed in the study included the following criteria (each with pre-determined quality levels; Kasimatis&Papanikolaou, 2012):Quality and Content completeness, Scientific validity, Structure and Organization, Form and Presentation.The quantitative analysis of the data revealed statistically significantly differences in the students’ self-assessment levels (as identified by the rubric) with respect to the students’ gender and the department of study. Moreover, the tool allowed the students to evaluate the end product of their efforts, thus allowing for their realizing the usefulness of the rubric as a self-assessment tool.   Keywords: self-assessment, project, rubric, assessment criteria, reflection

Objective: Spaced retrieval practice (SRP) is one of the most replicated and effective mnemonic strategies in the cognitive psychology literature, but its benefits have not yet been realized in healthcare settings. This study used a randomized, between-subjects design to examine the hypothesis that can SRP improve memory for health-related information among clinically-referred persons with HIV (PWH), who often have difficulty acquiring new health knowledge. Method: A consecutive series of 41 PWH referred to a county-funded neuropsychology clinic were enrolled. Participants were randomly assigned to learn four statements about the treatment of a mock health condition in either a massed study control condition (n=20) or an SRP condition (n=21) in which they received two distributed free recall training tests supplemented with self-generation for missed items. The primary outcome was participants’ free recall of the four treatment statements after a 20-min delay filled with non-verbal tests. Results: PWH participants in the SRP condition were four times more likely than controls to recall at least one treatment statement at the 20-minute delay. SRP was not related to post-test recognition or health-related decision-making performance, but was associated with moderately better self-efficacy for decision-making. Conclusions: Findings from this pilot study show the potential of SRP to improve learning and memory for health-related information among PWH in clinic.

Using assessment to inform teaching and to measure learning outcomes is of critical importance in higher education. However, many tertiary educators are not sufficiently knowledgeable or prepared to do this confidently. This paper suggests that tertiary educators could be given tools and encouraged to exert agency in their own assessment literacy development. It examines the application of one potential tool, the SALRubric (Edwards, 2017), which describes stages of development in ten dimensions of summative assessment literacy. The tool’s structure and intent make it possible for the rubric to be modified to incorporate other content and context-dependent dimensions of assessment within a tertiary setting. A process through which appropriate dimensions could be identified is described so that the resulting co-constructed rubric could be used for both peer assessment and self-assessment by tertiary educators. Initial work using the SALRubric indicates that this has the potential to lead tertiary educators to an increased awareness of dimensions of assessment literacy and more active engagement in their teaching, thereby enhancing learning for their students.
