The Effectiveness of Learning Passing Volleyball for Student on Website-Based

Volleyball is a sport that is quite popular in Indonesia, and this is why this sport is always given at various levels of schools in Indonesia. However, it is still not possible for learning to be carried out directly because the spread of the corona virus in Indonesia is still increasing, requiring learning to be carried out online. The website is one of the media that can be used in volleyball game courses. The question is whether this website is effectively used in volleyball lectures. The purpose of this study was to find out the extent to which the effectiveness of volleyball passing learning using the website was. This study used experimental method, where this experimental method is a research by giving some special treatment to the research subjects used. The one case study has been used in the research. The subjects used in this study were students of physical education, health and recreation STKIP Pasundan with a total of about 120 people. Subjects were given treatment for 8 meetings in accordance with the semester learning plan for the passing technique. The instrument in this study was a test of passing down and up to the wall for 60 seconds. The data analysis technique uses a percentage. The findings showed a rise in students passing learning goals. The results of STKIP Pasundan students' physical education, health, and recreation have improved significantly of the website's material.

디지털교과서 활용 수업의 효과

This study collected related results from academic journals and academic papers published in Korea over the past 10 years and analyzed them using meta-analysis methods, in order to verify the effects of classes using digital textbooks. First of all, the analysis results showed that the average effect size was large. In other words, digital textbooks were having a positive impact on education. Second, if you look at the effects of digital textbooks by dividing them into affective competencies, cognitive competencies, and academic achievements, the effect of affective competencies is greatest, and the following are cognitive ability and finally academic achievement. Third, there was no regional difference in effect size, but consistently high effect size. In addition, digital textbook research was dominated by master s thesis. Fourth, according to the cumulative meta-analysis, the effect of the digital textbook class was stable only when it was taught at least 16th hour. The digital textbook effect study is the most common in elementary schools. However, as digital textbooks for middle and high schools are being made, research should be done at various levels of schools. Based on the above analysis results, the limitations and suggestions were presented.

Perancangan Web Design Aplikasi E-Learning dengan Metode Prototype pada Tingkat SMA

Technology has experienced very rapid development at this time and has brought changes and has a positive and negative impact on human life. One of the fields currently contaminated by technological developments is the field of education, especially in Indonesia, where at first the learning system was still manual-based and is currently developing into an online learning system. It is clear that various levels of schools and universities have used technology to support their learning process and apply it. One of the uses of technology in the field of education is learning management systems (NGOs) such as e-learning. The use of e-learning as a learning medium has a function to improve the quality of student learning and help improve student understanding in learning. However, there are still many schools that have not implemented e-learning in their teaching and learning process, such as high school (SMA). Therefore, the design of this e-learning application web design is expected to help several schools that require an online learning system that is user friendly so that schools can be better prepared to follow current development trends.

Meningkatkan Kemampuan Problem Solving Siswa-Siswi SMA Negeri 7 Semarang melalui Bebras Challenge

Associative and directed thinking are two important ways when a person thinks of an idea that is directly continuous with the emergence of other ideas and in the end has been coherently determined the direction of problem solving. Things like that are often experienced by everyone, especially high school students. The various school assignments they have to do, socialize with school friends, and interact with family at home are so complex that the problems exist that require students to think critically and solve problems well. Bebras Challenge is one of the contests that directs participants, especially high school level, to practice problem solving skills through learning activities by working on problems. The Bebras Challenge activity was attended by various levels of schools, from the lowest levels of Elementary School to Senior High School. SMA Negeri 7 Semarang was one of the participants who took part in the Bebras Challenge, students were encouraged to practice problem solving skills in the contest. The end result of the Bebras Challenge activity is to improve students' abilities in dealing with various problems, one of which is that in the field of subjects in schools, they are able to answer questions in different ways and have the same final result .

Code-Switching in the Classroom: The Perspectives of Bhutanese Teachers

Code-switching (henceforth as CS) is the use of two or more languages in conversation. It is sometimes known as ‘language mixing’. CS may occur between sentences, known as 'inter-sentential' CS; and it may also occur within a sentence, known as 'intra-sentential CS. Cs is a linguistic feature of Multi-lingual societies, as they are gifted with more privileges to use various languages. CS in Bhutan is prevalent in offices, schools, institutes and market places, formally or informally, knowingly or unknowingly. This paper highlights the attitude of Bhutanese teachers towards CS in the classroom in the process of teaching and the purposes of CS in teaching. The data for the study comprises the responses of the attitudinal test questions designed based on a Likert Scale of 20 teacher- respondents (n=20) from the various levels of Schools in Bhutan. The findings indicate that the prevalence of CS in the classrooms is used to interpret complex ideas, translate questions, seek confirmation, check students understanding, also to build solidarity and CS is most prevalent in primary education. Therefore, CS is a unique linguistic requirement in education but there is a negative towards the use of CS in the classroom in Bhutan.

An Investigation into Female Students’ Less Participation in English Language Class: Waja Kero Junior Primary School Grade 8 Students in Focus

The growing interest in gender issues, relationships, family constructs etc can be seen in academia and elsewhere. The power of literary texts, plays, films and dramas in the formation and perception of women’s images is immense. These perceptions change with time and ideology. Change in ideology, always mark a paradigm shift in the way we understand and interpret social, economic and political agendas. The introduction of Marxist ideology in a society is an example. Even though Education is most important to pursue the objective of women’s empowerment, gender imbalance that prevails at various levels of schooling has been a hampering factor. Besides enrollment, gender disparity manifests in areas of class participation and achievement in primary education institutions. In Ethiopia, even if through several interventions, the enrollment of female students at various levels of schooling has dramatically been increased, questions like in class participation and achievement remain unanswered. This piece of writing, while investigating the issues of representation vs. participation has an objective of assessing why female students’ participation in class is low compared to male counterparts. Applying feminist qualitative research, this study identified that shyness, language proficiency, family background, instructor’s affiliation to active students, environment, and lack of value attached to participation in class were having impacts on female students participation in class. In contrast, representation in class compared to male counterpart was not a decisive factor. And the researcher concludes that, unless otherwise interventions to enhance females’ education in Ethiopia further investigate the issues of in class participation and achievement, the so far efforts have been only tip of the iceberg especially at Waja Kero primary school in rural Ethiopia. Waka Kero primary classroom has been regarded as male public space. This has affected the academic achievement of female students, which in turn is likely to influence negatively their social, economic and political visibilities. As such, females’ participation in the classroom activities becomes an inviting topic to be explored. The current study, thereby, aimed to unveil the reasons of highly inhibited and highly exuberant female students in the classroom. In so doing, observations and interviews were carried out on students studying at the primary school of Waja Kero. The findings revealed that inhibition, depreciation of participation, devaluation of speech in mixed environment, and peers’ negative comments were the main factors hindering female students’ participation. Factors that have been rated as strong promoters of participation, however, were: positive perception of participation, modern thinking, well-rounded knowledge about the topic, the type of topic studied, accessible teachers, and learner-centered approach.

Magnets and magnetic field around them: what can we learn from simple experiments

Small neodymium magnets are useful tools enabling us to do a lot of experiments usable in physics teaching and learning. Simple experiments with these magnets can be done quickly and at minimal cost. Such experiments are usually used to demonstrate or investigate just qualitative features of magnetic field. However, simple experiments, when combined with small pieces of theory, offer much more than that. In the workshop, the participants went from very simple qualitative observations to experiments that, being still simple and low-cost, enable the measurement of the force between magnets and even to estimate the value of magnetic field B inside magnets and around them. The workshop was led in an inquiry-based style and offered a teaching-learning sequence that teachers can adapt for various levels of schools.

Dialogue and language as factors contributing to transformative learning in academic tutoring

Abstract Among a number of teaching practices, personalized education is gaining in popularity owing to its enticing appeal of a novel, humanistic attitude with unparalleled pedagogical results unlike those observed in traditional standardized mass education models. As part of the fourth moment in the history of education (according to the timeline in Davis, Sumara and Kapler, 2015), personalized education under the guise of tutoring or educational coaching is boldly re-entering schools and the academic world. Observing the daily practices of tutors and educational coaches on various levels of schooling, we can note a number of features which contribute to the emergence of a model where learning becomes an autonomous, lived experience. In this model communication is understood as a collaborative dialogical practice, which leads us to see learning as a result of interactivity in the learner-tutor dyad afforded by geo-spatial conditions, physio-psychological elements and language. All these contribute to the occurrence of transformative results as evidenced in student post-tutoring narratives. In this paper we present learning in the dialogical tutor-tutee paradigm as a distributed, embodied, and enacted meaning-making process rather than mere ‘sending’ and ‘receiving’ of substantive information (e.g., De Jaegher and DiPaolo, 2007; Neuman and Cowley, 2013). Described as such, the method fits in the paradigm of self-regulated learning. We therefore postulate the claim that personalised education as exemplified by tutoring is co-agential and prompts learning on multiple timescales. Consequently, cognition and learning in tutoring is enactment of knowledge, while coordinating speech rather than knowledge transmission

Representation vs. Participation of Female Students in Class: A Comparative Feminist Investigation

Even though Education is most important to pursue the objective of women’s empowerment, gender imbalance that prevails at various levels of schooling has been a hampering factor. Besides enrollment, gender disparity manifests in areas of class participation and achievement in higher education institutions. In Ethiopia, even if through several interventions, the enrollment of female students at various levels of schooling has dramatically been increased, questions like in class participation and achievement remain unanswered. This piece of writing, while investigating the issues of representation vs. participation has an objective of assessing why female students’ participation in class is low compared to male counterparts. Applying feminist qualitative research, this study identifies that shyness, language proficiency, family background, instructor’s affiliation to active students, environment, and lack of value attached to participation in class were having impacts on female students participation in class.

Influence of Adult Children’s Family Size, Family Life Cycle and Income on Care of Elderly Parents in Nigeria

The study examined the influence of adult children’s family size, stage in family life cycle and income on the provision of care to elderly parents among adult children working in University of Calabar, Nigeria. The cross-sectional study adopted a purposive sampling technique to select 350 consenting respondents. Family size was operationalized as the total number of children in the household consisting of the number of children still living in the house and those who are outside but still dependent on the respondent for some form of support. Stage in family life cycle was operationalized as the distribution of children in each education level (nursery, primary, secondary and higher institution) according to age range of adult children. Adult children income was measured as income of the respondents. Data were analysed using descriptive statistics and chi square test of significance. Findings revealed a significant relationship between adult children’s family size and provision of care to the elderly. The more the number of children in the household within the indicated age ranges of adult children, the less the amount of care given to the elderly. Although income of adult children was not a significant predictor of provision of care given to elderly parents, the measured financial responsibility of adult children in respect of the number of children in the household still dependent on them for some form of support, indicated by the number of children in various levels of schooling, inversely affected adult children’s care of elderly parents.

Implementación del Programa Nacional de Bilingüismo 2004-2019: un balance intermedio

The Colombian National Bilingual Education Program is intended to improve the learning of English as a foreign language at the various levels of schooling. Yet, very few systematic studies have been done within schools to reveal their true circumstances with respect to that program. Our study, conducted in the city of Santiago de Cali, used surveys, interviews and an international test to ascertain what academic directors have done from an administrative standpoint and to identify the level of teachers' proficiency in English, among other aspects designed to reveal the profile of the faculty involved in the program. The sample was comprised of 56 schools that represent the 22 municipal districts into which the city is divided administratively. They are located in low and middle-income neighborhoods. The management of resources and human talent was found to be insufficient to support the processes devised to implement this educational policy. Furthermore, the levels of language proficiency on the part of the teachers generally fall short of the GDP targets, which call for professionally active teachers to have a vantage or upper intermediate level of proficiency (B2) by 2019, according to the Common European Framework of Reference for Languages (CEFR). Moreover, there is a gap between English teaching in private and public schools, which goes against the spirit of the policy on education. These findings point to the need for an urgent review of the conditions in which a foreign language is taught, so action for improvement can be taken if the goal is for students to become more proficient in English.

Doubly Robust Estimation of Causal Effects with Multivalued Treatments: An Application to the Returns to Schooling

SummaryThis paper provides doubly robust estimators for treatment effect parameters which are defined in a multivalued treatment effect framework. We apply this method to the unique dataset of the 1970 British Cohort Study (BCS70) to estimate returns to various levels of schooling. The analysis is carried out for female and male samples separately to capture possible gender differences. Average returns are estimated for the entire population, as well as conditional on having a specific educational achievement. For males, relative to no qualification, we find an average return to O‐levels of 6.3%, to A‐levels of 7.9% and to higher education of 25.4%. The estimated average returns to O‐level and A‐level relative to no qualification are insignificant for females, whereas the return to higher education is 19.9%.Copyright © 2014 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.

<b>A compreensão anisiana do ‘padrão escolar’ brasileiro </b> - doi: 10.4025/actascieduc.v36i1.22198

Current research analyzes Anisio Teixeira´s ideas for the Brazilian high school as provided by his conferences given in the 1950s and later published by him. Although it may be stated that Teixeira scantily changed positions taken early in life, it seems that during this particular decade he provided a more comprehensive notion of the historical process for a national education. Current investigation discusses not merely his formulations for high school, which during that period also included the four stages of the primary school, but a global formulation denominated the ´Brazilian school standard´. Although various levels of schools remained segmented, in his opinion these segments had a lively inter-communication.

Determinants of Gender Productivity among Smallholder Cowpea Farmers in Baga, Kukawa Local Government of Borno State

This study was carried out to investigate the determinants of gender productivity among smallholder cowpea farmers in Baga, Kukawa Local Government Area of Borno State, Nigeria. A random sample of 70 respondents comprising 35 male and 35 female cowpea farmers were the source of data for the study. Descriptive statistics and multiple regression analysis were used for the data analysis. The results showed that most respondents were smallholders with about 80% and 86% of male and female respondents respectively having less than 5 ha of farm land. About 74.3% of the male and 71.4% of the female were above the age of 40 years while 74.3% of the male and 82.9% of the female respondents were educated to various levels of schooling. Mean input per hectare used by men exceeded the input used by women and the average output per hectare of the men (1220Kg) exceeded that of the women (1050Kg). Farm size, seed and labor were significant determinants of cowpea production among both men and women respondents. It was recommended that women in the area be given more access to production inputs through grants or loans in cash and kind to help them improve their cowpea production output.

A Benefit Incidence Analysis of Public Spending on Education in Pakistan Using PSLM Data

Education is one of the most important means of economic development, and there is consensus among policymakers that it is better to be educated than not. The debate on education is not, therefore, whether it is good or bad, rather it centers on whether the state should intervene in its provision. Public provision of education at the school level is generally considered one of the most important investments for creating social opportunities to help the wider population actively participate in various economic activities. This study investigates whether public spending on education in Pakistan is pro-poor at various levels of schooling. We find that public spending at the primary and secondary level is progressive, while higher education spending is regressive. These results hold at the national and provincial level. Based on these findings, we recommend that the government increase its spending on primary, secondary, and technical education. Higher education, however, should be provided on merit, and the private sector should be encouraged to provide high-quality education.

Analysing Collaborative Processes and Interaction Patterns in Online Discussions

This paper deals with collaborative, networked learning in a graduate distance learning course. We are interested in understanding how learning is affected by the quality of collaborative processes and the patterns of interaction in collaborative online discussion environments. For the purposes of this paper we are focusing on the interactions and collaborative processes occurring in an asynchronous online seminar which is about the design of teaching/learning software in the context of a science education course. The participants in the study, a total of nine students are mainly science teachers and they took part in this online seminar over a two week period to discuss the design of some selected pieces of software used for teaching and learning of science at various levels of schooling. In our analysis, we used a classification system validated in our earlier work and extended our approach for the purposes of this study using a rating scheme developed for assessing the quality of computer supported collaboration processes by other researchers (see Meier et al., 2007; and Rummel et al., 2011). Content analysis of the contributions to the online seminar showed that the two categories, namely 'acknowledging a fellow student by replying and or referring to their contribution' and 'motivation of students (indicated by a mention of their individual commitment to group task)' were the biggest categories. The frequency of 'joint knowledge building category' in this analysis indicates that students are committed to the task. During the activity they presented reports on their analyses with an aim to critically review the issues and themes arising form these analyses. When we compared this online seminar to a comparable one in the previous year, we noticed that both acknowledgment and motivational categories were much smaller. In addition to content analysis, we carried out an interaction analysis of the first online seminar to identify the patterns of relationship between students and visualise the relationship by using the connections between members. This study may indicate the importance of motivation/individual commitment of students during a collaborative task and we are in the process of analysing other conferences in the same course to see the effect of motivation on the quality of collaborative learning/processes and the interaction patterns in the online seminar.

What Knowledge Exists about Drinking Water and Academic Achievements in Schools in Ghana, Sierra Leone and South Africa?

 Abstract—Knowledge exists about water and its relationship with poverty, health and sanitation, as well as ecological integrity. However, little knowledge exists about correlation between safe drinking water and academic achievements in schools. Investigations show little attention on water education in schools, even when international institutions are beating chests about creating and financing principles, declarations and conferences in recognition to importance of water, especially during last two decades in 20 th century and first decade into the 21 st century. The leading aim of study is to understand knowledge about drinking water and academic achievements in schools in Ghana, Sierra Leone and South Africa. Specific objective is to find out knowledge from students' responses during interviews and test scores at various levels of schooling using chi-square (x 2 ) and correlation coefficient (r) for analysis. These models are to help establish the relationship between these variables by testing hypotheses to show directions and strengths of these correlations. The data gathering methods include five ways. First, is testing students before sampling and initial instructions without drinking water. Second, testing after drinking water while participating in schooling exercises. The third method uses personal interactions and interviews to gather qualitative data. Fourth, uses psychologies of drinking water during tests and examinations. Last method uses interviews involving psychologists, psychiatrists, medical doctors, nurses, surgeons, physicians and other medical practitioners. Final results are positive with (x 2 =7.973>5.991) at 95% level of confidence, as r=0.997, and qualitative analysis show r=0.588, suggesting existence of relationship between drinking water and academic achievements. Results show drinking water improves academic achievements in schools. Respondents are in three countries with different latitudes, locations, climates and ecologies. This study shows how this high-prize diet contributes to academic achievements in learners.

Investigation the impact of chess play on developing meta-cognitive ability and math problem-solving power of students at different levels of education

The aim of this study was to analyze the effect of learning of chess play on developing meta-cognitive ability and mathematical problem-solving capability of students at various levels of schooling. To this end, 86 school-boy students were randomly selected and they taught chess for six months, and another group of 94 students randomly selected for control group. The subjects were assessed via meta-cognitive questionnaire of Panaoura, Philippou, and Christou (2003) and mathematics exams. The results indicated that chess player students showed more achievement in both meta-cognitive abilities and mathematical problem solving capabilities than other non-chess player students. In addition, a positive and significant relationship was found between students’ meta-cognitive ability and their mathematical problem-solving power. These results suggest that we can use chess as an effective tool for developing higher order thinking skills.

THE ROLE OF HUMAN CAPITAL IN CHINA'S TOTAL FACTOR PRODUCTIVITY GROWTH: A CROSS-PROVINCE ANALYSIS

This paper studies the role of human capital in China's provincial total factor productivity (TFP) growth over 1985–2004. The stochastic frontier approach is employed to measure the productivity growth of Chinese provinces. Human capital is measured both qualitatively and quantitatively. In particular, enrolment rates at various levels of schooling are used to represent human capital composition. After controlling for endogeneity, we find that human capital has significant and positive effects on the TFP growth of Chinese provinces. However, when education quality is incorporated, productivity growth appears to be significantly enhanced by quality improvements in primary education only. Regional impacts of human capital are found to differ at various levels of schooling. In the eastern region of China, productivity growth is significantly associated with secondary education. TFP growth in the central region is mainly promoted by primary and university education. Yet in the western region, primary education plays the most prominent role.
