Multiplex Relationships

Relationships play a strong role in rural communities and education, and multiplex relationships – relationships that can overlap due to multiple contexts of interaction in a rural school – are unique to the rural setting. This study focused on multiplex relationships and their impact on science classroom performance, as measured by science standardized test scores, through the lens of Social Capital Theory. Quantitative survey results from rural science teachers regarding number of student relationships and state-based science test scores were correlated.  Additionally, qualitative survey answers from a subset of respondents were used to construct a more complete picture of the essence of these relationships and their perceived impacts. Results indicate multiplex relationships do not impact science test score achievement however, teacher accounts of classroom experiences with students illustrate a strong perception that multiplex relationships increase their ability to help students succeed.

R Programming

Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk: (1). Memaparkan karakteristik tes IPA yang dikembangkan, dan (2) memaparkan program komputer yang telah dikembangkan dalam menentukan skor tes siswa dengan teori tes modern. Tes IPA terdiri dari 600 butir soal dan telah diujicobakan di SMP se-Solo Raya dengan responden 1.800 siswa. Teknik analisis data yang digunakan adalah program R. Program komputer yang telah dikembangkan diujicobakan di SMP Negeri 4 Polokarto. Hasil analisis tes IPA dengan program R menunjukan: (1) tingkat kesulitan butir dalam kisaran -2,001 sampai 1,713, (2) daya beda butir dalam kisaran 0,553 sampai 2,394, dan (3) terkaan butir dalam kisaran 0,000 sampai 0,379. Program komputer yang dikembangkan dapat menentukan skor tes siswa menurut teori tes modern dengan baik. DEVELOPING OF COMPUTERIZED NATURAL SCIENCE TESTAbstractThis study is aimed at: (1) describing the caracteristics of Natural Science test developed, and (2) describing a computer program which had been developed to determine the test scores of students with modern test theory. Natural Science test consists of 600 items and had been tested in junior high school throughout Solo Raya with 1,800 respondents. Data analysis technique which was used is R programming. The computer program had been developed and tested in SMP Negeri 4 Polokarto (Polokarto 4 Junior High School). The results of the analysis of Natural Science program test with R programming show that: (1) item difficulty is in the range of -2.001-1.713, (2) discriminatory power of items is in the range of 0.553-2.394, and (3) the supposition of items is in the range of 0.000-0.379. The computer program developed can determine students’ test scores according to the modern test theory well.

The purpose of this study was to determine if participation in the National Wildlife Federation’s (NWF) Schoolyard Habitat Program (SYHP) had an effect on the science standardized test scores or science grades of fourth-grade primary school students in Houston, TX. To conduct the study, five pairs of Houston elementary schools were selected as either treatment or control schools. The treatment group included a total of 148 fourth-grade students whose teachers reported using the NWF’s SYHP. The control group consisted of a total of 248 fourth-grade students whose teachers used a traditional science curriculum. To measure academic achievement, scores on a standardized science test and science grades were compared between the treatment and control students. Results from this study indicated Caucasian students scored higher than minority students on the Stanford standardized science exam. Significant differences existed in the Stanford standardized science exam scores between male and female students for the treatment group only. Overall, the results from this study also showed that the SYHP was equally as effective at science instruction as the traditional curriculum within the Houston Independent School District (HISD) after teachers gained familiarity with using the habitat for instruction.
