As higher education institutions are pressured to evaluate the responsiveness of their curriculum programs, there is a challenge of first order to define responsiveness. This challenge, however, is compounded by the paucity of a tested evaluation model that addresses it. Thus, this paper aimed to evaluate the responsiveness of the Bachelor of Elementary Education curriculum by attempting the applicability of the model called &quot;illuminative evaluation.&quot; Following the stages and components within the social anthropological framework of the model, multiple methods such as interviews, document reviews, and surveys were employed. The main data analysis technique used was the thematic analysis. The results revealed that illuminative evaluation contextually defined the concept of responsiveness and it effectively uncovered concealed aspects that indicate discrepancies within the curriculum. Thus, given these research outcomes, this work contributes new knowledge to the tradition of evaluation theory and provides practical evidence for the improvement of the curriculum under evaluation. The recommendations are offered at the end of the study.

Sociology of education is a matter of discussion in terms of whether it is an independent field or it is a subdiscipline of educational sciences or sociology. In this respect, the development of sociology of education is a challenging process which goes through some never-ending continuity and discontinuity, and it is sometimes considered to be a process that consists of blurriness, fluidity, and sometimes it is regarded as a complex process. In this regard, the fundamental purpose of this study is to find out the development of sociology of education in England and the USA. This study is designed as a historical research. As a result of the study, It can be said that sociology of education as a discipline in these countries has not been established upon a joint developmental process as it has had some continuity and discontinuity in its relationship with education or sociology departments. It may be stated that from time to time macro subject matters gained a popularity and sometimes micro issues become important in the agenda of sociology of education because of the fact that different understandings of the field and different traditions.

The purpose of this qualitative study is to understand how school principals perceive their supervisors' feedback in the formative principal evaluation process. It spotlights the benefits of supervisors giving effective feedback to school principals as a key component in formative evaluations. In addition, it uses a qualitative case-study design situated within the context of the Al-Ain school district, which is supervised by the Abu Dhabi Education Council in the United Arab Emirates. The data was collected using several data collection methods, namely interviews, documents, and field notes. Six school principals participated in the study, and a thematic analysis of their comments and other information that they provided yielded four themes that reflected the quality of feedback they received: (1) feedback in absentia, (2) superficial or irrelevant feedback, (3) negative or judgmental feedback, and (4) constructive and individualized feedback. The evidence concludes that feedback aimed at improving the leadership practices of principals is limited, and there is no embedded professional learning dialogue wherein such feedback exists. This study adds to the body of leadership literature and sets forth implications for enhancing and redesigning feedback delivery in the formative evaluation process to improve principals' practices and support their professional growth.

The aim of this study is to compare high-intensity interval running exercises for physical education students in the field and the pool in terms of their effects on anaerobic power and blood lactate. 20 amateur male athletes that is student at physical education department participated in this study on a voluntary basis (Age: 22 ± 4 years, Height: 176 ± 8 cm, Weight: 72 ± 10 kg). The participants were divided into two groups, which were the pool group (n = 10) and the field group (n = 10). The athletes, who participated in the study, were administered a training program consisting of high-intensity interval running in the pool and the field during a period of eight weeks. Wingate test was administered to the participants and their lactate measurements were obtained before and after the 8-week training program. Data obtained were analyzed using the SPSS 22.0 package program. In order to determine the chronic effect of the training environment on anaerobic capacity and lactic acid activation, the difference between the findings obtained before and after the training was calculated. The independent sample-t test was performed to determine the difference between the groups. According to the results, aquatic exercises produced more positive gains on anaerobic power and lactic acid activation; however, there was no statistically significant difference between the groups (p &gt; 0.05). In conclusion, it can be argued that the trainings in the pool could be included in the training programs as an alternative to field training due to the physical properties of water; and better results can be obtained to a certain extent.

Today, more than ever before, English-language educators recognize the importance of using digital resources to teach students in a variety of modalities. Current circumstances have caused schools, universities, institutes, and colleges all over the world to rethink the way they teach and learn. Teaching with technology has suddenly evolved from a gradual shift toward incorporating digital tools into a roaring avalanche, which can overwhelm educators who have only face-to-face (f2f) teaching experience. This article seeks to encourage teachers who are not yet tech savvy to start researching and using online software resources that link to smartphones (and laptops and tablets) in order to successfully teach English anywhere in the world, remotely or otherwise. It discusses resources in the form of websites, blogs, and digital tools to help teachers successfully transition and adapt their expertise to the current situation. These digital tools are flexible: they can be used for f2f, hybrid f2f/online, or 100 percent online teaching interactions, provided that teachers and students have access to the Internet. After an overview of the rise of instructional technology, the article offers advice for implementing educational technology and introduces various types of free digital tools, with explanations of what they do, why they are important, and how both teachers and students can use them. The article concludes with a short list of free and relevant pedagogical websites.

The main purpose of this study was to design and verify the quality of an assessment aimed at diagnosing scientific misconceptions among students enrolled in 10th-grade biology subjects. A sample consisted of N=200 students from schools under the administration of the Office of Secondary Educational Service 31, Nakhon Ratchasima province. We employed the design-based approach, which consists of four phases, namely, construct map, item design, outcome space, and Wright map. Multidimensional Random Coefficient Multinomial Logit Model (MRCMLM) was used to evaluate the quality of the assessment tool. The assessment tool consists of two dimensions, namely, knowledge and reasoning. The assessment tool is comprised of 40 items, with 20 items tapping each of the dimensions. Findings form item analysis and modeling revealed sufficient evidence on the internal structure and validity of the instrument. It can be concluded that the unidimensional model is more appropriate than the multidimensional model for diagnosing scientific misconceptions in the genetics topic for dichotomously scored with four options in each item. The polytomous scored type should be further investigated to determine the best fit model in the items relating to evidence-based reasoning for supporting students' answers.

This study examined the quality and types of mathematical tasks used for classroom instruction in an upper secondary school -- gymnasium. All the mathematical tasks presented in nine different school classrooms during the first semester of the school year 2018/2019 were analysed against a 5D analytical framework. The dimensions of the individual task analysis were contextual features; the answer forms required; forms of presentation; types of required mathematical activity and cognitive demands involved. Performed analysis gived perspective on the learning opportunities offered in classroom instruction for building mathematical competencies specified in the current state education curriculum. The results indicate that the selection of tasks was not in accordance with the curriculum requirements. Mostly, teachers used close-ended, non-applicative, lower-level cognitive tasks presented in symbolic form, promoting operations and calculations as a central activity. These types of tasks are usually associated with knowledge and skills of lower orders. In this case, classroom instruction had low potential and very little room left to build a significant portion of competencies and learning outcomes of higher orders.
