Abstract

This research aims to examine the effectiveness of the authentic assessment instrument based on Higher Order Thinking Skills (HOTS) integrated with character education on the theme "Heat and Its Transfer" to enhance the learning outcomes of fifth-grade students at SD Muhammadiyah Purworejo. A quantitative approach using the Quasi-Experimental method was employed, involving two groups: the control group and the experimental group. The authentic assessment instrument based on HOTS integrated with character education was implemented in the experimental group, while the control group used conventional assessment instruments. The results showed that the use of the authentic assessment instrument based on HOTS integrated with character education significantly improved the Higher Order Thinking Skills (HOTS) of the students. The average HOTS score in the experimental group was higher than that in the control group after the intervention. Furthermore, the use of this instrument also influenced the improvement of students' character. The analysis results demonstrated a significant improvement in the experimental group compared to the control group. Therefore, it can be concluded that the authentic assessment instrument based on HOTS integrated with character education is effective in enhancing HOTS and character of fifth-grade students on the theme "Heat and Its Transfer." This research has significant implications in the field of education, providing a foundation for the development of learning approaches that promote high-level thinking skills and students' character. It is recommended that this approach be implemented more widely in the learning processes of schools to support students' development in various aspects of learning.

Abstract

Quality school education depends on a host of factors like tangible learning outcomes, efficient governance, necessary infrastructure, equitable academic opportunities, etc. For evaluation of evidence-based policy making in the education sector, the Ministry of Human Development and NITI Aayog, Govt. of India developed School Education Quality Index (SEQI) and assessed performance of States and Union Territories of India. The paper describes methodologically sound measure of overall performance in school education (OPSCI), avoiding normalization/scaling, selection of weights and covers all chosen indicators to reflect overall improvement/decline of a State/country in current year with respect to base year. The proposed index considering multiplicative aggregation of the chosen indicators has wider applications, satisfies desired properties, facilitates construction of OPSCI for India, in addition to State-wise indices. Thus, it is possible to have inter-country comparisons and inter-region comparisons. OPSCI also helps in identification of critical indicators requiring managerial attentions, plotting path of overall progress across time by a State or a country, testing statistical hypothesis regarding equality of the index for two countries/States or equality of the index for a single country/State across time using conventional t-tests on the logarithms of the observations. OPSCI with theoretical advantages is recommended. Future studies suggested.

Abstract

This qualitative study investigates the incorporation of Lesson Study, a pedagogical approach from Japan, into Vietnamese primary education, with a specific focus on the perspectives of Vietnamese English as a Foreign Language (EFL) lecturers. These educators, though not directly involved in primary education, engage with it through various roles like teacher training and curriculum development. The research is based on in-depth interviews with nine EFL lecturers from two educational institutions in Vietnam. Employing thematic analysis, the study identifies five key themes: collaborative enhancement of teaching practices, navigating cultural and systemic challenges, improved understanding of student learning needs, professional growth and empowerment, and challenges such as resistance to change and time constraints. These themes underscore the potential of Lesson Study in fostering collaborative and reflective teaching practices, as well as professional development. However, they also highlight the obstacles imposed by traditional educational norms and practical limitations. The study emphasizes the necessity of support structures and resources for effective implementation of Lesson Study, advocating for adaptations to align with local educational contexts and cultural values. Contributing to the discourse on professional development in EFL teaching, this research underscores the importance of collaborative, reflective practices in educational innovation. Moreover, it stresses the significance of considering unique cultural and systemic elements in applying pedagogical methods like Lesson Study. Offering specific insights into its application in the Vietnamese primary education context, this study not only enhances understanding of cross-cultural educational transfer but also provides practical guidance for educators and policymakers. It paves the way for further research in diverse educational settings, expanding the international conversation on educational practices.

Abstract

Developing children who are autonomous learners and able to contribute constructively to decision-making, forms part of the reasons why the Ghana Education Service, in the year 2019, introduced the Standards-based curriculum for basic education in Ghana. Teachers were, thus, tasked to adopt the constructivist instructional philosophy to help realize this educational goal. Using a sequential mixed method, this research involved basic schools in the Sunyani-west municipal of Ghana as cases. The current study investigated the practice of shared control as a way of developing children’s autonomous learning abilities. The results of the study indicate that teachers hardly allowed learners to contribute to the management and planning of instruction. Teachers’ perception of the learners’ limited cognitive ability, policy constraints (lesson planning system, examination-driven nature of the curriculum), and some socio-cultural factors significantly contributed to the minimal practice of shared control during instruction. Further results show that the GES, ironically, worked against the possibility of ensuring shared control. Recommendations have, therefore, been offered for the consideration of policymakers and curriculum implementers.

Abstract

This study looked at how well functioning rehabilitation programme affect special needs students’ academic performance in Federal College of Education (Special), Oyo. A descriptive research design was employed for the study. The population of the study consisted of all the Academic staff from the School of Special Education, Federal College of Education (Special), Oyo. The sample size for the study was fifty (50) academic staff randomly selected from various departments in special education. A Self-developed questionnaire titled: Impact of an Effective Rehabilitation System on the Academic Performance of Special Needs Persons (IERSAPSP) was used by the researcher for data collection. The instrument was validated and the reliability coefficient 0f 0.86 was realized which implies that the instrument was reliable. Three research questions guided the study. The data collected were organized and analyzed using descriptive statistics frequency count and percentage. The findings showed that persons with special needs find it very difficult to adapt to school life and show signs of inappropriate or what might be considered immature behavior, but with effective rehabilitation system this will enable them to reach and maintain their optimal physical, sensory, intellectual, psychological, and social functional levels. It was recommended among others that the Government at all levels should ensure that a reasonable percentage of the Education Trust Fund Allocation is made available for the education of students with disabilities.
