The unit “Solution and its Colligative Properties” is found to be difficult for most of the Grade 12 students.  To make the learning experience joyful- three experiential learning activities are designed. It plays a positive role in strengthening and enhancing the academic performance in Chemistry. The objective of the present paper is to inspect the impact of the designed three experiential learning activities on attainment of intended specific learning outcomes. Totally 40 students participate in the study. The purposive sample technique is used to draw the sample of the present study.  Sample learners are divided into two groups: study group and control group. Each group consists of 20 students.  Both groups are taught the unit “Solution” through online mode due to COVID pandemic. The pretest – “formative assessment” is conducted.  The result of the formative assessment divulges that the learners face challenges in the conceptual understanding of the unit. The researcher designs three activities for experiential learning to enhance the deep conceptual understanding. Students of the study group are exposed to the experiential learning activities for the period of one week. The present paper is experiential in nature. Formative assessment is conducted before and after the treatment.  Data is collected by using two formative assessments and one summative assessment. Statistical tool used are mean, mean difference and standard deviation.

AbstractMathematics discussions are important for helping students to develop conceptual understanding and to learn disciplinary norms and practices. In recent years, there has been increased attention to teaching prospective teachers to lead discussions with students. This paper examines the possibilities of designing a formative assessment that gathers information about prospective elementary teachers’ skills with leading problem-based mathematics discussions and makes sense of such information. A decomposition of the practice of leading discussions was developed and used to design the assessment. Nine first-year teachers who graduated from a range of different teacher education programs participated in the study. The findings reveal that our formative assessment works to gather information about teachers’ capabilities with leading discussions and that the associated tools support making sense of the information gathered. This suggests that such tools could be useful to support the formative assessment of the developing capabilities of prospective teachers.

The aim of the present study is to investigate the effect of experiential learning activity in deep conceptual understanding of science in comparison with conventional teaching model. In the present experiment quasi experimental and post-test research design is implemented. Totally 80 students participate in the study: 40 girls and 40 boys. The sample is categorized into two: study and the control group. Each group consists of 40 students: 20 boys and 20 girls. The study group is taught “Gases Law” by using experiential learning activities and the control is taught by using the conventional method. Data is collected by using a questionnaire and it consists of 20 multiple choice questions. The collected data is analyzed by using descriptive statistics. The examination of the data illustrates that there is no noteworthy difference in the mean score between the study group and the control group. Independent ‘t-test’ is applied to compare the student’s achievement in post-test. The mean score of the study group, who are exposed to the experiential learning activities, in Science Achievement post-test is 17.35. It is higher than that of (t=6.65; p&gt;0.01) the learners in the control group. The mean of the control group is 14.45. Therefore, it is concluded that the experiential learning activities as a teaching model enhances the deep conceptual understanding of science.

<p class="Normal1">This paper provides a critical and contextualised exploration of assessment for learning (AfL) as an important area of scholarship in higher education, particularly in online learning environments. Although AfL can speak to a range of education discourses, the specific focus here is on the performativity and experiential learning discourses around individual and collective notions of AfL in online settings (e-AfL). We argue that e-AfL practices that emphasise performativity and are used primarily for technicist purposes impoverish their potential to promote learning. We explore the existential notion that e-AfL can transcend formulaic and procedural interpretations of formative assessment in higher education. Rich, divergent approaches to e-AfL can support students in higher education courses to develop their funds of identity, thereby enhancing learner reflexivity and agency.</p>

Abstract The recent studies in science learning has a specific interest with 4C’s which are communication, collaboration, critical thinking and creativity. This study explored the students’ 4C’s as they engage with physics concepts relating to alternating currents. This engagement entails students’ interpretation for descriptive questions. Following action research cycle, the study begin with planning the intervention using “ECRA” technique and conducted the activities with 38 Matriculation College students. The analysis attempt to make a connection between students’ ability to construct representational aspects of scientific description with formative achievement. This study systematically describes students’ understanding on the representations signify in the descriptive questions. Data collected from this study were Work Report, review of answers tutor questions, and interviews during observation stage. The finding suggests that, the ECRA technique is enabling students to obtain higher percentage in formative assessment by allowing them to developed richer conceptual understanding. Hence this study suggest that the representational issues in physics questions constructed in essay can be moderated with ECRA technique.

Physics misunderstandings still occur in high school students now. Therefore, it requires complete learning so that students' conceptual physics can be stable and embedded in everyone. This study aimed to diagnose the extent to which students' conceptual understanding of physics on the topic of static fluid is. This study used a survey approach to form a written test for 100 senior high schools in two schools in Central Maluku Regency. The results showed that there were still many students who experienced fluid misconceptions in cases 2, 3, and 5 to achieve a good level. Therefore, deep learning is needed so that students' conceptual physics will be good and not forgotten
