Appearance Orientation. The Appearance Orientation Scale consists of twelve items that measure the importance an individual place on how they look, attention payed to appearance, and grooming behaviors. Raters indicate level of disagreement-agreement on a 1 to 5 Likert Scale 1(definitely disagree) 2 (mostly disagree) 3(neither agree nor disagree) 4 (mostly agree) 5 (definitely agree). Example questions include “I check my appearance in the mirror whenever I can” and “it is important that I always
In research, reliability refers to the how consistent an instrument measures an outcome for a specific study. In other words, if a person takes the same anxiety test on several different occasions and the results are consistent, the anxiety test is deemed reliable. Researchers use four different methods to test reliability: test-retest reliability, alternate-forms reliability, interrater reliability, and homogeneity or internal consistency reliability (Grove, Gray, & Burns, 2015, p. 289). Test-retest
In this essay I will outline the curricular systems for the 0-5 age group in England and Scotland. I will examine in detail the planning and assessment provisions of these systems which allow early years practitioners to gain insight into children's learning and to aid them in that regard. I will draw comparison between the practices of these two countries where possible, and provide criticism of each. The Early Years Foundation Stage (EYFS) was implemented in England in 2008 and applies to all
Arts criticism is the verbal or written discourse about works and/or movements of fine art. To develop this criticism, one would need to evaluate the work of art, and then make a judgment call about it. But what exactly makes for great arts criticism? Surely an amateur freshman just starting out an arts criticism class can’t facilitate a discussion about a work of art to the same caliber as experts such as Noël Carrol and Edith Wharton. Despite living nearly a century apart, both provide similar
examined closely the uses, nature, measurement concepts and initial and outcome assessments of psychological assessments used in Counseling Psychology. Psychological assessments are used by counselors to “identify the nature of a client’s concern and to consider possible treatment approaches” (p.3). Additionally, the assessment data derived from assessments is used by counselors for planning and evaluating programs. The assessment process is therapeutic in that it assists clients in clarifying goals and
Reflection on Alternative Assessments Traditional and alternative assessments share some key elements, yet differ as well. All assessments, whether given as a test after a unit or alternative, should be measurable and be reliable and valid by having clear criteria to measure the learning targets. Traditional and alternative assessments generally differ in timing, feedback, student's involvement, and how the teacher uses the information. The time in which traditional assessments such as after the
Management by Objectives (MBO) The management by objectives (MBO) method consists of supervisors setting a list of objectives and making assessments on their performance on a regular basis, and making rewards based on the achieved results. The supervisor and subordinate members jointly identify the organization’s common goals and set the areas of responsibility of each individual in terms of results expected from that person. The overall objectives of the organization are translated into specific
People tend to compare themselves to others in present modern day. Comparison has no limits; they do not just compare their homes, their cars, their families, but also their intelligence. Sometimes questioning their own analogies and wondering why is it that they must compare and contrast? Truth is a large majority of humans cross-cultural all tend to compare each other. When comparing each other’s social intelligence and cognitive intelligence based on academic achievement professionals may find
Challenges of Client Assessment in Therapeutic Recreation Client assessment in therapeutic recreation can be defined as the act of finding and gathering information about a client and then using this information to help place them into the appropriate therapeutic recreation programs that they need in order to be successful when it comes to achieving their leisure goals. Client assessment often leads to identifying a problem(s) and then from there building an intervention and treatment plan to
The ten subtests, that makeup the SB5, form composite scores for the factor index, domain, abbreviated, and full scale (Riverside Publishing, n.d.). A nonverbal and verbal subtest make up the factor index while all five nonverbal subtests (NVIQ) and all five verbal subtests (VIQ) make up the information for the domain scales (Riverside Publishing, n.d.). The ABIQ is composed of the routing subtests and the FSIQ is a combination of all the subtests (Riverside Publishing, n.d.). Change-Sensitive Scores

general search was conducted using the combined terms “falls” and “scale” which yielded a handful of articles regarding fall assessment tool. A second search using the term “Morse fall” was conducted to broaden the scope of research, and we were able to make selections from these searches. The Science direct website also provided fast facts on the different falls assessment tools and interventions which were applied to this project. The phenomenon of falls has long been studied in order to develop
Land evaluation is the assessment of the suitability of land for a defined land uses. According to FAO (1995) Land can be defined as a delineable area of the earth's terrestrial surface, which encompasses all features of the biosphere immediately or beneath this surface; including those of the near surface- climate, soil and terrain forms; the surface hydrology which comprises shallow lakes, rivers, marshes swamps and etc.; near-surface sedimentary layers and associated groundwater reserve; the animal

Why the change? The introduction of the national curriculum in England is considered to have made a lasting impact on pupils’ achievement (DfE 2012). The introduction of the national curriculum has set higher overall expectations of young people (Barber 2002; Hopkins 2001; Tabberer 1994), have reduced inappropriate repetition of content (Chitty 2004; Evangelou et al 2008), and particularly in science, it has ensured a more balanced coverage of content in the primary phase (Harlen 2008).

of this study is related to formative assessment, the researcher will spend more time on this. The term formative assessment is not used consistently in the literature (Bennett, 2011).There are some terms used interchangeably with formative assessment such as Classroom Evaluation (Crooks, 1988), Learning- Oriented Assessment (Pryor & Crossouard, 2008), Alternative Assessment (Berry, 2008), Assessment for Learning (Asghar, 2010) or Classroom-Based Assessment (Turner, 2012).

Introduction One of key element in teaching and learning activity is assessment. There are several types of assessment. However, in the context of Aceh, most of teachers still use traditional forms of assessment, specifically summative assessment. There is critique on traditional assessment, “The critique has been based on the assumption that these forms of assessment do not support high quality of leaning associated with ‘deep’ learning, critical thinking, sustainable knowledge and lifelong learning”
efficacy and impact of risk assessment in young ‘offenders’. Introduction A risk assessment is a structured tool used to analyse young offenders who are aged between 10 to 17 years old. The individuals would have to come into contact with the young offending teams because they would be receiving a final warning, community or custodial sentence in order to get the assessment done. They are used to plan sentences and intervention and used as pre sentence reports. This assessment would determine what level
