Stakeholders’ efforts and research attempts at improving the situation have not yielded desired results. It was on this premise, the researchers sought to predict school-based assessment practice of senior secondary teachers from their SBA knowledge and attitudes towards SBA in Ijebu Division of Ogun State, Nigeria. Descriptive survey design was adopted. A sample of four hundred (n=400) teachers were selected as participants using simple random sampling techniques. The three instruments for data collection were Teachers Knowledge of Assessment Technique (r = .62), Teachers Attitudes towards SBA scale (r = .74) and School-Based Assessment Practice of Teachers Questionnaire (r = .69). The results indicated that both predictors account for 5.1% (R = .051; P<.05) of variance in the criterion. Only SBA knowledge in the hypothesized model was a significant predictor (B = .223; P<.05) of school-based assessment practice of teachers. Therefore, it was recommended that the government policy which prescribes that only professional teachers are retained in the profession be strictly enforced.","PeriodicalId":298189,"journal":{"name":"Asian Journal Of Assessment In Teaching And Learning","volume":"41 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2018-12-30","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"125073990","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The Learning Analytics is also able to provide information about decision making to understand and optimise the learning process. Early childhood education is believed to be very important because the learner is open and always tries new things and is considered very meaningful for future processes in the development of all aspects of their personality. In this study, we aimed at investigating the application of learning analytics and how the learning process on child development in early childhood education. The Article Search Process is carried out on two databases, ScienceDirect and IEEE. In this study, the most important keywords are Learning Analytics and early childhood. The results of the search are 45 articles: (31/45) ScienceDirect and (14/45) IEEE, from 2012 to 2017. They are thoroughly explored in the Learning Analytics process, data collection and pre-processing, analysis and action, and post- processing. The process of data collection is done by implementing Online Systems or Game-Based Learning: 58% e-Learning systems, 27% Learning Analytics systems, and 15% Game-based learning. Many research was conducted on samples from Post graduate, High school and Elementary school. The results showed that early childhood education had the advantage of the use of the new technology and in enchancing the child’s knowledge and skills. Such as creativity and logical intelligence in the introduction of shapes and numbers. In the further study, the concept of Learning Analytics in the form of assessment and feedback that is given to support the improvement of the objectivity in the learning process by collaborating with educational games which can be another beneficial to the early childhood education. Objective assessment and feedback may be the monitor and prediction which will also be analised for the efficiency and effectiveness in the learning proces through the use ofthe technology.","PeriodicalId":298189,"journal":{"name":"Asian Journal Of Assessment In Teaching And Learning","volume":"97 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2018-12-23","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"115816431","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Due to the lack of research on the post hoc analyses of classroom assessments to diagnose L2 learners’ strengths and weaknesses in the multidivisible skill of reading comprehension, and also its significance in high-stakes tests, this article offers the implementation of samples of high-stakes tests in the classroom environment due to its beneficial consequences and washback for the learners to increase their educational chances. Therefore, the present article is intended to shed light on the mental processes which the examinees went through in responding to the multiple choice questions of four reading comprehension passages, elicited from the recent Iranian University Entrance Exam 2015. Time-series design was conducted to forty female students aged between 16 and 17 years old who made the control and experimental groups in an EFL context at a high school to help them enhance their reading comprehension skills and strategies by giving proper diagnostic feedback and intervention. The analysis of data collected through triangulation of methods, namely interview, think-aloud, and self-assessment confirmed the usefulness of consistent cognitive diagnostic assessment (CDA) for both teacher and students. Moreover, the CDA analysis led to the development of a number of online reading comprehension strategies which are normally belittled in non-interactive assessments. Finally, the article suggests the use of consistent CDA as a dependable and trustworthy procedure to diagnose and enhance L2 learners’ reading comprehension processes.","PeriodicalId":298189,"journal":{"name":"Asian Journal Of Assessment In Teaching And Learning","volume":"34 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2018-12-09","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"129118056","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
