Early Algebra Affects Peer Composition

Although research indicates that individual students benefit when they enroll in early algebra classes, evaluations of broad-based algebra acceleration often report negative effects. Using a regression discontinuity design, we replicate the positive effects of eighth-grade algebra placement on student achievement found in prior studies. We then demonstrate that eighth-grade algebra placement positively affects the achievement level of students’ classmates, as well as the experience and value added of students’ math teachers. Peer composition effects may help to reconcile the apparent contradiction between the positive effects of algebra on individual students and negative effects of algebra acceleration since these estimated effects are large enough to plausibly explain the majority of the effects of eighth-grade algebra on student test scores.

Pendekatan Formula: Strategi Peningkatan Kemahiran Penulisan Karangan Bahasa Melayu Pelajar Kolej Vokasional

The acquisition of essay writing skills holds compulsory significance for all Malaysian Vocational Certificate (SVM) students at Vocational Colleges (KV), as these skills are embedded within the SVM Malay language course curriculum. Generally, students at KV exhibit a range of weak to moderate mastery levels in essay writing, particularly in terms of structuring and organizing essays in a systematic manner. Evidently, lackluster student performance was accentuated when a subset of students failed to respond adequately to essay prompts during the End of Semester Assessment, emerging as a substantial contributor to the failure rates within the Malay language subject. A survey unveiled a deficiency in systematic essay writing proficiency, resulting in student hesitancy and disinterest in addressing essay-related queries. In response, the researcher introduced a formulaic approach to essay writing with the aim of elevating student performance. A sample of 24 students from the Electronics Technology Program was selected randomly to participate in this study. Consequently, a study was conducted employing pre-test and post-test assessments to evaluate the effectiveness of the introduced formulaic approach within the study sample. The gathered data revealed a notable shift in student achievement levels, evidenced byimprovements in grades post-intervention and alignment with the prescribed scoring criteria. Initially absent in pre-test outcomes, the attainment of an 'A' grade by the study sample became evident following the post-test, wherein the formulaic approach was integrated into the teaching and learning process. This study establishes that students are capable of proficiently and systematically honing their Malay essay writing skills. Through the implementation of a structured methodology, it becomes apparent that learners can effectively bridge identified gaps, thereby enhancing their overall mastery of the subject matter. Consequently, this research holds implications for pedagogical practices geared towards fostering heightened competency in essay writing among SVM students

Can basic design be the base of urban planning education?: A case-oriented quantitative measurement model

The study of design is considered as a scientific activity; however, the integration of urbanism with design thought has remained limited, which can easily be observed in the contemporary urban areas, especially in the developing countries. Thus, increasing design thinking ability and the integration of spatial planning should be a priori within urban planning and design education, and thus be practiced preventing the emergence of chaotic urban spaces. The widespread view is that basic design education increases the planning and design skills of students; therefore, it is offered during the first stage of planning education. Within the scope of the basic design courses, students experience using and transferring the formatting tools such as line, stain, texture, color, volume, light-shadow, abstraction, and perspective effectively. They learn design principles such as suitability, unity, sovereignty, contrast balance, repetition, direction, measure, range, value, motion, and hierarchy. Gestalt visual perception principles adopted by the Bauhaus school of design are often applied in basic design education. The process is completed by providing technical drawing lessons on principles and abstraction parameters. Teaching is a planned process, and objectives are determined through the cognitive-affective and psychomotor learning areas known as Bloom’s Taxonomy of Learning Domains. So, is the current education paradigm accurate and measurable? Is it possible to utilize it to improve planning and design education? For this purpose, this study researches the contribution of basic design learning outcomes to the urban planning studios and the relationship between achievement levels of students in relevant courses through knowledge and attitude tests. The research model is a case study, based on the relational analysis of quantitative data, which quantitatively propounded that the relationship between two different teaching processes is linear and positive.

Association of Physiological Performance, Physical Fitness, and Academic Achievement in Secondary School Students.

This study aimed to compare the physiological performance and physical fitness based on the academic achievement levels of secondary school students and to explore the effect of gender on the relationship between physiological performance, physical fitness, and academic achievement. In this cross-sectional study, 304 children aged 13-14 years were recruited. To assess physical fitness, students performed a 20 m sprint test, a pro-agility test, a one-mile endurance run/walk test, and a countermovement jump test. At the end of the one-mile endurance run/walk test, the estimated VO2peak value of the participants was calculated. The physiological performance of the students was determined by measuring their resting heart rate and blood pressure. Students were grouped into three categories based on their academic achievement levels. The assessment of academic achievement considered their scores from the previous academic year. The scores were divided into three levels: poor (average score of 69 points or less), average (scores ranging from 70 to 84 points), and good (scores of 85 points or higher). The study revealed a notable disparity among students' VO2Max measurements based on their academic achievement (F = 8.938, p < 0.001, η2 = 0.056). However, we observed that the group with poor academic achievement displayed lower diastolic blood pressure values than the groups with average and good performances. Finally, no significant gender differences were evident in the relationship between academic achievement and any of the physical and physiological parameters.
