Method Of Assessment

The problem of the study. The conventional assessment methods used in evaluating the academic achievement of students have been saddled with deficiencies. Research methods. This study examined the effect of assessment for learning method on students’ academic achievement in carpentry and joinery works in technical colleges in Edo and Delta States, Nigeria using quasi-experimental research design. The population for this study comprised of 430 students and the sample size was 68 vocational II carpentry and joinery students from two intact classes randomly drawn from the 12 technical colleges in Edo and Delta States. The instrument used for data collection was Carpentry and Joinery Works Achievement Test (CJWAT) developed by the researcher from NBTE curriculum. The instrument was tested by three experts. The reliability of CJWAT was calculated using Kuder Richardson formulae 21 (KR-21) and a reliability coefficient of .78 was achieved. Mean and standard deviation were used to address study questions whereas one-way and two-way Covariance Analysis (ANCOVA) were used to evaluate hypotheses at a .05 level of significance. Results. The study's findings revealed that the learning method assessment (9.43) had a higher achievement score than the traditional method of assessment (5.25), indicating that the learning method assessment had a greater impact on student achievement in carpentry and carpentry than the traditional method of assessment. One-way ANCOVA result, F(1,77) = 56.75, p = .000 indicates a significant difference between the two assessment methods with regards to students’ achievement in carpentry and joinery trade. Female students (9.34) find the Assessment for Learning Method to be marginally more effective than male students (9.30). On the other hand, the Two-way ANCOVA result, F(1,75) = 1.83, p = .180 shows no significant difference between the academic achievement scores in carpentry and joinery trade of the students’ based on gender. It is therefore concluded that there is a significant difference between the mean achievement scores of students assessed with Assessment for Learning method and those assesses with the conventional assessment method in favour of assessment for learning method and no significant difference between the mean achievement scores of male and female students assessed with assessment for learning method at post-test. Conclusion. It was proposed, among other items, that the government and all stakeholders organize and fund seminars, conferences and workshops for technical teachers on a regular basis to attend and learn how to adopt assessment for learning method in educational institutions through the application of rubrics and portfolios.

This paper describes a health promotion project with young people from three secondary schools in the western metropolitan region of Melbourne. The project uses drama as a tool to promote social connectedness with family, peers, schools, and community. It draws on the results of an evaluation based on the production of "At All Costs". Drama facilitators from Footscray Community Arts Centre worked with students to workshop and develop issues and themes relevant to young people, Interviews, focus groups, and surveys were conducted to evaluate the benefits and impact of the project on the performers and audience of one of the secondary schools involved.

Critical Link

Aquaponics is a typical bio-integrated system that forms a critical link between the recirculating aquaculture with hydroponic vegetable, flower, and/or herb production. It establishes a type of symbiotic relationship between aquatic animals with that of plants with in a system. Recent advances by researchers all around the globe have curved aquaponics into a working model of sustainable food production. This innovation named aquaponics respects principle of sustainability as well as gives a possibility to increase economical efficiency with an additional productivity. For the improvement of man’s health, we must reconsider the agricultural sciences in such a way that we can develop technologies friendly for the environment.

The aims of this research were to: (1) find out the response of students to metacognition-based industrial electronic learning in growing the ability of Higher Order Thinking Skills (HOTS) in vocational secondary schools, (2) describe the learning outcomes of the students in the field of industrial electronics based on metacognition with direct learning method, and (3) generate the effectiveness of metacognition-based industrial electronics learning in growing HOTS capabilities in vocational secondary schools. The research was Quasi-experimental type, while the research design used Pretest-Posttest Control Design with the research subject was the students of Public Vocational Secondary Schools in Makassar City in the field of Industrial Electronics Expertise. Data collection techniques were conducted by questionnaire and learning outcomes test. The result showed that: (1) the students’ response of experimental class was higher that control class, (2) the learning outcomes of experimental class was higher than control class, and (3) the use of metacognition-based tools for industrial electronics learning was effective. This learning method could grow the HOTS capabilities of the students in solving the problems of industrial electronics circuit.
