Effects of Rubrics on Academic Performance, Self-Regulated Learning, and self-Efficacy: a Meta-analytic Review

Rubrics are widely used as instructional and learning instrument. Though they have been claimed to have positive effects on students’ learning, these effects have not been meta-analyzed. Our aim was to synthesize the effects of rubrics on academic performance, self-regulated learning, and self-efficacy. The moderator effect of the following variables was also investigated: year of publication, gender, mean age, educational level, type of educational level (compulsory vs. higher education), number of sessions, number of assessment criteria, number of performance levels, use of self and peer assessment, research design, and empirical quality of the study. Standardized mean differences (for the three outcomes) and standardized mean changes (SMC; for academic performance) were calculated from the retrieved studies. After correcting for publication bias, a moderate and positive effect was found in favor of rubrics on academic performance (g = 0.45, k = 21, m = 54, 95% CI [0.312, 0.831]; SMC = 0.38, 95% CI [0.02, 0.75], k = 12, m = 30), whereas a small pooled effect was observed for self-regulated learning (g = 0.23, k = 5, m = 17, 95% CI [-0.15, 0.60]) and for self-efficacy (g = 0.18, k = 3, m = 5, 95% CI [-0.81, 0.91]). Most of the moderator variables were not significant. Importantly, to improve the quality of future reports on the effects of rubrics, we provide an instrument to be filled out for rubric scholars in forthcoming studies.

Aim: It is known that the relationship between self-efficacy and quality of life in patients with pulmonary tuberculosisat Pertamina Bintang Amin Hospital in Bandar Lampung 2020.Methods: This type of research was quantitative with a cross sectional approach. The population was all pulmonary TB patients at the Pertamina Bintang Amin Hospital Bandar Lampung, with a sample size of 62 people. Data analysis in this study used the chi-square test.Results: The results of the univariate analysis showed that most of the respondents’ self-efficacy was in poor condition, namely as many as 33 people (53.2%). Most of the respondents’ quality of life was in the medium category, namely 27 people (43.5%). The results of the bivariate analysis showed that the p-value = 0.001). 1) demographic factors such as the type of education level are an indicator of the potential vulnerability of pulmonary TB infection, 2) Most of the respondents’ self-efficacy was in poor condition, namely 33 people (53.2%). Most of the respondents’ quality of life was in the medium category, namely 27 people (43.5%), and 3) there was a relationship between self-efficacy and the quality of life of patients with pulmonary tuberculosis.

Developing a Regression Model of Cooperative Learning Methodology in Pre-Service Teacher Education: A Sustainable Path for Transition to Teaching Profession

There is a growing interest in the study of active methodologies, especially cooperative learning. It will allow for skills related to the positive interdependence between the components of a group, individual responsibility, the encouragement of interaction, and the development of social skills to be put into practice by pre-service teachers, as well as for the sharing and assertiveness of the ideas of teamwork. The purpose of this study is to predict those variables that significantly positively affect pre-service teachers’ perceptions about the use of cooperative learning methodology in their initial training at university once it has been put into practice in the classroom for 3 months. For this, a quasi-experimental design was implemented to enable its practice, and subsequently the perceptions of the pre-service teachers were collected through the use of a questionnaire. The sample was composed of 140 pre-service teachers from the Faculty of Education of the University of Almeria (Spain). The overall results of the study determined that the interest of pre-service teachers in their subject, age, attendance of practical classes, and the type of education level they have had access to positively affect the perceptions of pre-service teachers, while positive academic performance causes a decline. These findings highlight the need to continue research, mainly on the question of why working in cooperative groups causes a decrease in academic performance.

Association of caries experience in adolescents with different preventive measures

To assess the preventive measures which were associated with the striking caries decline observed in Marburg (Germany) between 1982 and 2002 and to investigate the relationship between caries prevalence and the type of educational level. 1,237 twelve-year-old children were examined in four different types of schools. D3MFT and the number of teeth with fissure sealants were registered. Information about preventive measures carried out in the past was collected by structured questionnaires. To compare the mean caries scores of various subgroups, Mann-Whitney U-tests and ANOVA were performed. Variables associated with caries were included in a binary logistic regression analysis. In 2002 the mean D3MFT score amounted to 0.78. In 80.7% of the pupils fissure sealants were observed, on average 3.5 teeth with sealants were recorded per child. There were significant differences between the mean D3MFT scores and the mean number of teeth with fissure sealants among the various school types. Use of fluoride supplements in the past, use of fluoridated table salt and fissure sealants were the factors in the binary logistic regression analysis which were significant in preventing caries.
