The Analysis of Rubric Feasibility Using Video Snippets of Learning Process
Get PDFMultiple interpretations can cause a decrease in the quality of rubrics. This research aims at developing an appropriate rubrics description for the measurement of students' scientific attitudes. The process of developing the rubrics was done by using the video snippets of learning process. A total of 23 observers whose final year students were involved in analyzing the video snippets of learning process. They assessed eight indicators of the scientific attitude of ten students through the video snippets. The feasibility of the rubric is considered based on the responses given by 85% of the observers who have the similar answer to the scientific attitude of students in the video snippets of learning process. The description test of the rubrics was analyzed descriptively, which then obtained two rubrics that obtained answer differences less than 85% of the observers. Therefore, this research focuses on investigating the two rubrics. This research implies that there needs to be a clear description of the rubrics in relations to the time of observation of the number of students and behaviors

Movement-Versus Sporting-Based Physical Education in Elementary Schools: Does Either Ensure Quality?
Get PDFWithin the physical education literature, there remains to be contentions between the effectiveness of sporting- and movement-based approaches. Whilst both have noted strengths and weaknesses, there is little research into whether either is leading to quality physical education in Australian elementary schools. This paper therefore examines two of the common models based approaches to teaching physical education in elementary schools against the five interrelated propositions of the Australian Curriculum to determine if either pedagogical approach is leading to quality physical education. This paper draws on current literature, curriculum frameworks and pedagogical recommendations to determine the value of a models based approaches to physical education in relation to quality. Examinations indicate that both the sports and movement based approaches can address the five key propositions that underpin the Australian Curriculum, however quality is dependent on appropriate implementation by qualified and skilled teachers. Teacher education and pedagogical knowledge is paramount for the implementation of quality physical education. Further investigation and exploratory research is required to determine if the model based approaches are being effectively being introduced by both generalist and specialist health and physical education teachers in elementary school settings
The Development of Disciplinary Control Book for Elementary School Students
