Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book describes the concept of mastery learning in the classroom and the various foundations upon which it is built. Five chapters discuss: (1) "Understanding Mastery Learning" (e.g., the learning/memory base, the measurement base, theoretical bases, and the brain base); (2) "Examining the Standards: Math, Science, Social Studies, and English Language Arts" (e.g., mastery as a beginning, beyond mastery, and standards); (3) "Planning Standards-Based Lessons using Mastery Learning" (e.g., overlap among state and national standards, enrichment and remediation, and planning lessons using six elements of mastery learning); (4) "Implementing Standards and Mastery Learning in the Classroom" (13 steps to implementing mastery learning); and (5) "Professional Development and Mastery Learning" (e.g., a plan for action and a professional development agenda and teaching for mastery). The appendix looks at what the literature can tell (e.g., two approaches to mastery learning, empirical evidence, research examples, and memory by fast and slow learners). (Contains approximately 160 references.) (SM).

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book introduces and explores major topics in contemporary educational measurement: criterion-referenced testing, item response theory (IRT), computer-based testing, cross-lingual and cross-cultural assessment, and accountability testing. Psychometric experts describe forward-looking measurement practices and provide a contextualized understanding of how and why they were developed, how they can be used, and where they may go in the future. In addition to presenting key concepts and formulas, the volume covers established and emerging applications and discusses recurrent challenges that require additional research. A helpful glossary of abbreviations is included. The book is grounded in the work of Ronald K. Hambleton.

This book was released on 2013-12-01 with total page 462 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Over the last 20 years there have been a large number of technical advances and changes in the field of educational and psychological testing. According to Anne Anastasi, The decade of the 1980's has been a period of unusual advances in ,psychological testing. Technological progress, theoretical sophistication, and increasing pro fessional responsibility are all evident in the fast-moving events in this field (A. Anastasi, Psychological Testing, Sixth Edition. New York: Macmillan, 1988). On the psychometric front, advances in topics such as item response theory, criterion-referenced measurement, generalizability theory,· analy sis of covariance structures, and validity generalization are reshaping the ways that ability and achievement tests are constructed and evaluated, and that test scores are interpreted. But \Jsychometric advances, as substantial and important as they have been, are only a fraction of the major changes in the field of testing. Today, for example, the computer is radically chang ing the ways in which tests are constructed, administered, and scored. Computers are being used to administer tests "adaptively." That is, the sequence of questions an examinee is administered depends upon his or her performance on earlier administered items in the test. Tests are "adapted" to the ability levels of the examinees who are being assessed. One result is shorter tests with little or no loss in measurement precision. Computers are also being used to store or bank test items. Later, items of interest can be selected, and the computer is used to print copies of the test.

Download or read book Master protocol for surveillance of pfhrp2 3 deletions and biobanking to support future research written by World Health Organization and published by World Health Organization. This book was released on 2020-03-24 with total page 47 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Rapid diagnostic test (RDT) kits offer great potential for the immediate diagnosis of malaria infections. Rapid diagnosis allows for prompt treatment, especially in rural settings. Histidine rich protein 2 (HRP2) is an abundant protein expressed only by P. falciparum and is the target for the most commonly used RDTs. While HRP2 RDTs generally have the highest sensitivity of the RDTs for P. falciparum malaria, parasite strains in several countries have been identified that have deletions in the genes encoding HRP2 or the similar HRP3 protein. The purpose of this document is to present an updated standardized protocol that P. falciparum-endemic countries can use to determine the prevalence of parasites with pfhrp2/3 gene deletions causing negative HRP2 RDT results among symptomatic falciparum patients. Two versions are available which allow for a surveillance-only approach or a surveillance combined with biobanking for future research approach.
Download or read book Master Techniques in Upper and Lower Airway Management written by William H. Rosenblatt and published by Lippincott Williams & Wilkins. This book was released on 2015-03-09 with total page 691 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Airway management is one of primary responsibilities of anesthesiologists and nurse anesthetists in the OR. The care of patients with airway disease is an especially significant challenge. These patients often represent the highest risk population in anesthetic practice because of the potential for catastrophic and possibly fatal airway loss. This book will provide a video-illustrated, practical guide to the management of routine and complex patients and procedures. Each case will begin with a general discussion of the important topics encountered in the case. Then the case will be presented along with a series of questions. Images and video will present the patient's anatomy as well as use of intubation and other management equipment. Video and images will present relevant portions of the operative procedure. Each question will then be fully answered.
Download or read book Alternative Approaches to the Assessment of Achievement written by David McArthur and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 1987-03-31 with total page 292 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Ingrained for many years in the science of educational assessment were a large number of "truths" about how to make sense out of testing results, artful wisdoms that appear to have held away largely by force of habit alone. Practitioners and researchers only occasionally agreed about how tests should be designed, and were even further apart when they came to interpreting test responses by any means other than categorically "right" or "wrong." Even the best innovations were painfully slow to be incorporated into practice. The traditional approach to testing was developed to accomplish only two tasks: to provide ranking of students, or to select relatively small proportions of students for special treatment. In these tasks it was fairly effective, but it is increasingly seen as inadequate for the broader spectrum of issues that educational measurement is now called upon to address. Today the range of questions being asked of educational test data is itself growing by leaps and bounds. Fortunately, to meet this challenge we have available a wide panoply of resource tools for assessment which deserve serious attention. Many of them have exceptionally sOphisticated mathematical foundations, and succeed well where older and less versatile techniques fail dismally. Yet no single new tool can conceivably cover the entire arena.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This title is directed primarily towards health care professionals outside of the United States. This series of books reflects the trend towards a core curriculum and self-directed learning. The content is restricted to the 'must know' core information presented in a synoptic style. The diagrams that support the text are in a style that the reader can remember and reproduce in examinations. Each chapter ends with a selection of self-assessment material and full explanatory answers. These consolidate and expand on the chapter contents. This volumes presents an integrated coverage of basic and clinical immunology. Despite the use of problem- and/or topic-based curricula students still respond to the security of a well-ordered presentation of the basic information by traditional discipline. Concise text of the essential core material Accompanying self assessment material ideal for self-directed learning Simple line drawings of a style that can be easily reproduced in examinations New smaller format to fit on bookshop shelves. New internal design to look more up to date. Much stronger series cover design to encourage bookshops to display as a series. Increased self-assessment Includes the new OSCE style questions that are increasingly used in examinations. More consistent use of learning objectives.
