Decomposing Difficulty of Reading Literacy Test Items

The current study investigates the question of test difficulty decomposition depending on the characteristics of items (such as: format, belonging to the type of text to which the item belongs) and the reader's actions required to answer it (search for information in the text, simple conclusions, complex conclusions, critical interpretation of the text). The sample of the study consisted of fourth grade elementary school students in Krasnoyarsk, who completed the computerized test of reading literacy "Progress" in the spring of 2022. Research method: psychometric modeling using the LLTM+e model. Research hypothesis: the decomposition of item difficulties will help to prove that the reading actions required to complete the tasks will form a hierarchy of difficulties similar to traditional taxonomies (B. Bloom), that is, reading skills aimed at analyzing, synthesizing, interpreting information will give tasks greater difficulty than simple conclusions, and those, in turn, will make tasks more difficult than the reader's actions to find information in the text. The results show that the assignment of items to the group of reader's actions is a significant factor. The size of the effects does not allow us to speak of a strict hierarchy, but when other attributes are controlled, the tasks for information retrieval in an explicit form are easier for students than the tasks for complex conclusions and for critical understanding of the text.

The Relationship between Learning Activities and Mathematical Problem-Solving Abilities in Elementary School

This research investigates the relationship between elementary school students' learning activities and mathematical problem-solving abilities. A quantitative functional correlation method was utilized with 52 fourth-grade students. Questionnaires were used to measure learning activities, while problem descriptions were used to assess mathematical problem-solving abilities. The IBM SPSS Statistics 22.0 application and the Spearman Rank method were used for data analysis. The study results indicate a positive relationship between learning activities and mathematical problem-solving abilities. The regression equation showed a proportional relationship, where higher learning activities resulted in better problem-solving abilities. The coefficient of determination indicated that 8.2% of the variance in problem-solving abilities could be attributed to learning activities. The t-test results demonstrated a significant relationship between learning activities and mathematical problem-solving abilities. Therefore, this study concludes that learning activities significantly impact the mathematical problem-solving abilities of fourth-grade elementary school students in Banjarwatu, Bogor Regency.

Students’ Visual Representation of Lights and Visions

Visual representations are used by scientists to communicate scientific conceptions and are used by teachers to teach science in the classroom. The 2013 Curriculum textbook reduces this visual representation. Meanwhile, visual representations will help students develop a comprehensive understanding of the concept. This case study research aims to reveal cases of misconceptions in the visual representation of students at an X elementary school. We used observations of fifty-nine fourth-grade elementary school students to find students with different cases of misconceptions. Eleven students were further identified using interviews and drawing tests. We analysed the data qualitatively based on the collection of these two types of data. We found misconceptions in the representation of luminous objects and how students draw visions of luminous objects and non-luminous objects. Research results showed that we found cases of misconceptions similar to the findings from previous studies. While light and vision are prerequisite concepts, a student's conception of vision is affected when he has a misconception about light. Content can be developed by paying attention to the various modes of representation, conceptual change, and learning progression in the future. The pattern of learning progression can be studied in more detail using the microgenetic method.

A Comparison of Sleep Duration Accuracy Between Questionnaire and Accelerometer in Middle Childhood.

Purpose Healthy sleep is vital to children's well-being, and assessing sleep efficiently and accurately can help understand children's lifestyles. Due to the difficulty in objectively measuring sleep duration using wearable sensors in large-scale surveys of children, self-administered questionnaires are often used in Japan; however, their accuracy is uncertain. We evaluated and compared the accuracy of questionnaire-based sleep times to those of wearable sensors. Methods This observational study was conducted between November 2019 and January 2020. A self-administered questionnaire on lifestyle habits and ActiGraph GT3X+ (ActiGraph, Inc., Pensacola, USA) accelerometer data were collected from 40 fourth-grade elementary school students in Kagawa Prefecture, Japan. We analyzed measurements for 256 days out of 280 days (40 persons × 7 days) after excluding days when the rate of wearing the accelerometer was < 90%. Results The median sleep duration per accelerometry was 453 minutes, and the median time in bed was 519 minutes. Questionnaire-based time in bed was 11 minutes longer, with relatively high inter-individual variability. The difference in bedtime was 26 minutes earlier, and wake-up time was 12 minutes earlier for the questionnaire. The average sleep efficiency was 87.4%, and one-third of the children had sleep efficiency < 85%. Conclusion The difference in sleep duration by questionnaire compared to accelerometry was approximately 10 minutes, suggesting the questionnaire may determine sleep duration with accuracy.
