Abstract

Psychometricians and researchers have grown increasingly concern about students’ performance. It is noteworthy from observation in the selected university of education in Nigeria that many of these students do not attend lectures for general courses particularly EDU 222 (tests and measurement) due to overcrowded lecture halls, the classroom climate factor, and other latent factors, such as exam conditions, test anxiety among others. Consequently therefore, students’ performance in EDU 222 does not significantly correlate with these challenges. The characteristics of the item parameter of the Tests and Measurement achievement test at the selected University of Education in Ogun State, Nigeria, were therefore examined in this study using measurement theories. The study employed an ex-post facto research of non-experimental design. Purposive sampling was used to select 6,203 second-year undergraduates offering EDU 222 for the 2018/2019 academic year. To analysis students’ responses to 30 multiple-choice questions on tests and measurement, factor analysis, item calibration, an independent sample t-test with a significance threshold of 0.05 were utilized with empirical reliability of 0.64. The results showed the test items satisfied the three-parameter logistics model and uni-dimensionality assumption. The findings also showed that the item response theory (IRT) eliminated 7 items due to guessing, while the classical test theory (CTT) eliminated 13 items. The test is prone to guessing, thus, helps pupils do better on the exam. To establish parameter estimates during test development, higher education institutions (HEIs) should employ the use of IRT.

Abstract

The main focus of this work is to explore the effects of students’ attitudes towards problem solving (ATPS) in algebra with respect to gender and type of school. The contribution of the predictor variables of ATPS in algebra to the prediction of problem-solving achievement (PSA) is being investigated. For the study, 200 class IX students are randomly selected from the government (GOVT) and private (PVT) schools in the Morrigan district, India. The algebraic attitude scale (AAS) is used to determine students’ ATPS, whereas the problem-solving test (PST) is used to determine students’ PSA in algebra. The AAS instrument consists of three subscales: perseverance (PE); self-confidence (SC), and willingness (WL). The t-test and multiple regression analysis are used to analyze the collected data. The finding reveals that there are statistically significant differences in students’ ATPS based on gender and type of school. The finding also reveals that PE, SC, and WL have a significant positive relationship with the PSA in algebra. Therefore, it is suggested that teachers should make an effort to provide support in the form of explanations, modeling, coaching, and other forms of assistance, as well as a conducive environment that encourages students’ overall ATPS that can enhance their PSA in Mathematics.

Abstract

Mentoring programs in education are known as the involvement of experienced persons to support students’ learning. Concerning improving literacy, mentoring programs aim to help students understand reading materials and improve their reading enjoyment and behaviors. This research aimed to investigate mentoring programs’ impact on primary students’ reading enjoyment. This study, in particular, intended to probe whether the mentoring programs significantly affected students’ reading enjoyment, whether male and female students differed on their reading enjoyment after getting mentoring intervention and whether the periods of mentoring impacted students’ enjoyment of reading. The study used secondary data of the Time to Read Program, a volunteering program conducted in Northern Ireland held by the Business in the Community in cooperation with Education Authority to promote literacy to local primary school students. The sample students in the secondary data used in this study were 250 eight-to-nine years old students. This study used the independent t-test and the ANOVA test to analyze the data. This study failed to find evidence that mentoring programs increased students’ reading enjoyment and that males and females differed in their reading enjoyment after mentoring intervention. However, this study found evidence that mentoring periods significantly improved primary students’ reading enjoyment.

Abstract

The importance of statistical learning has been widely discussed. However, little effort has been made to understand the difficulties of students in learning measure of dispersion, which is the key component to statistical learning. The present study sought to identify the reasons behind the errors committed in solving problems related to measures of dispersion, by examining students’ errors in the diagnostics tests, followed by in depth interviews to elicit their thinking and understanding. There were 85 grade-11 high school students involved in the first phase of the quantitative research and 10 students with weak performance were subsequently selected for the second phase qualitative research. The interviews were conducted using the contingent teaching model. The findings indicated that students’ committing errors in solving problems related to measure of dispersion due to lacking statistical vocabulary knowledge, weak symbol sense, rote learning, low statistical reasoning and statistical thinking ability. The results of the study and proper remedials are discussed.

Abstract

The emergence of novel coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) caused teachers shifting from conventional mode to emergency remote teaching with technology use. Nevertheless, review of technology acceptance level of teachers towards technology is limited, despite its significance in sustaining education during the pandemic. This study aimed to explore teachers’ technology acceptance level and factors affecting their intentions of accepting technology in the COVID-19 pandemic. With the adherence of preferred reporting items for systematic review and meta-analyses (PRISMA) 2020 statement and list of inclusion and exclusion criteria, 22 articles which were published from 2020 to present and related to the research focus had been identified from Scopus and Web of Science databases. The findings depicted that most teachers hold high acceptance level towards using technology to deliver lessons during the COVID-19. There were five key factors affecting teachers’ intentions in accepting technology, namely: i) Perceived usefulness; ii) Perceived ease-of-use; iii) Attitude; iv) Social influence; and v) Facilitating conditions. This study has provided insight to stakeholders on teachers’ technology acceptance during the pandemic. Future studies are recommended to conduct systematic reviews on technology acceptance from students’ perspective by identifying published papers from more databases such as ERIC and Google Scholar.

Abstract

Radical changes across almost all areas, including education, due to the COVID-19 outbreak. One of the rapid transformations is digital learning, also known as e-learning. Digital learning transformation has been taking place for more than a decade. However, little comprehensive analysis of digital transformation in teaching in public schools. To the best of the authors’ knowledge, no comprehensive analysis incorporates external and internal barriers and examines the prominent theories to study successful e-learning integration among teachers. The aim of this study was to provide a thematic and theoretical understanding of digital learning transformation among teachers in public schools. The data for the study was acquired from the Scopus databases. The study employed content and comparative analysis and advocated a grounded theory approach to inductively analyze and criticize the theme construction for answering two research questions. Based on a set of criteria to determine whether each derived study should be included or excluded, 42 articles were reviewed between 2010 and 2022. The analysis uncovered 10 themes of antecedents that were constructed as a framework based on the first-second-order barriers. Results also indicated that CHAT, TPACK, TAM, and UTAUT are the most prominent theories used to conduct digital transformation research. The findings offered significant implications for digital transformation and educational technology communities, especially for policymakers to strategize and reflect on the practice they implemented and improvised if necessary for future sustainable education and efficient teachers’ performance in teaching.

Abstract

This study was conducted to examine students’ perceptions regarding reading habits and to explore gender-wise, sector-wise, and grade-wise differences in secondary school students’ reading habits. The students (N=538) who participated in this cross-sectional survey were selected through a non-proportional stratified random sampling technique from district Lahore. The researchers developed a questionnaire comprised of four subscales (perceptions, purpose, preferences, and problems in reading) to measure students reading habits. They ensured the validity of the instrument from experts and calculated the reliability that was Cronbach’s alpha=0.802. Data were analyzed by using different statistical techniques (mean, standard deviation, and independent samples t-tests). The results of descriptive statistics indicated that students gave more preferences to reading than perceptions about reading, the purpose of reading, and problems in reading. However, the least contributing factor was problems in reading. Whereas the findings of independent samples t-tests showed a significant difference in students’ perceptions about reading habits based on gender and class. However, an insignificant difference was found in students’ perception of reading habits based on sector-wise (public and private) schools. Books of students’ interests may be provided in libraries to encourage them to read. Moreover, teachers may also arrange more reading activities to enhance students’ reading skills.

Abstract

Although substantial attention is being paid nationally to the assessment of pre-service teacher dispositions, largely to meet accreditation requirements, little is known about the extent to which standards-based dispositions change during a preparation program. A systematic approach to tracking change, or the lack thereof, using valid and reliable instruments of varying item types, can help faculty determine if candidates’ dispositions are positive and improving at the individual student and group levels. Pre-existing affective and cognitive data for six cases were analyzed for evidence of consistency with the 10 interstate teacher assessment and support consortium or InTASC standards. Dispositions improved as the cases progressed through their programs.

Abstract

Despite the significant shift to distance computer-based test as an inevitable outcome of Industry 4.0 and the public lockdown of COVID-19, little effort has been made to research this new testing mode. To address this issue, this study targets two groups of information technology (IT)-intensive and non-IT-intensive students with an aim of investigating factors that effectively encourage each group to adopt online assessment and whether their majors cause any differences in the students’ attitudes. Based on the student perception of e-assessment questionnaire (SPEAQ) with some slight modifications, a final 28-item survey was formed and distributed to 400 students. Results have shown that the factors of security, and affective factors were the top factors to impact both groups of students, while the impact of validity and practicality varied among the two groups and reliability and teaching-learning were at the bottom. Besides, there were no noticeable differences in the attitudes of students coming from different majors.

Abstract

Intralingual comparison in language learning is an effective teaching method, which introduces a new learning from what students have mastered to what they are going to learn. The study is to investigate the effects of applying intralingual comparison on the teaching of English adverbial relative clauses to Chinese Senior high school students. Data was collected utilizing both quantitative and qualitative methods in a mixed method design. Data was gathered via experimental research (n=103) and semi-structured interview (n=12). The experimental group’s posttest scores improved statistically significantly after intervention. Research findings suggest that applying intralingual comparison in teaching could be considered as an effective teaching method in improving students’ performance on learning English adverbial relative clauses. Besides, students would have more active and positive attitudes toward learning adverbial relative clauses than the traditional teaching method.
