Week 12 - Assignment Guidance
*
Part A - Overview
The word limit of 1,250 words refer to the body of the assignment.
You are required to present a copy of the questionnaire and its coding plan in an appendix to your assignment.
The words in the body of the assignment relate to the critical justification of the questionnaire and coding plan presented, as well as other supporting documents.
*
Part A – Hints!
Write in “applied terms” by making reference to the case scenario, avoid writing in a theoretical style.
Credit will be given to additional referencing to research methods texts in support of the arguments you are making.
Think about issues relating to flow, structure, coding, question types, presentation, instructions in your justification.
Do NOT go out and collect data with your questionnaire!
Part B- Overview
The word limit of 1,750 words refers to the body of the assignment.
Any useful graphs and tables should be in the body of this report, not hidden away in the appendices!
The assignment requires you to show how you have selected the relevant graphs, tables, summary statistics and hypothesis tests, so simply submitting Excel or SPSS output with no discussion will result in few or no marks being awarded to this part of the assignment.
Part B is a practical application to a problem, so unlike your essay type subjects and Part A, does not require additional referencing.
Part B – Statistical Analysis
You are required to justify the selection of presentation techniques, summary statistics and hypothesis tests in terms of data types, sample sizes, assumptions that can or cannot be made etc.
For your hypothesis tests, present fully and if significance is found, do provide indication as to why!
Use graphs and tables sparingly within your presentation, sometimes you may be asked specifically, if so, present accordingly, otherwise use your judgement.
Part B – Statistical Analysis – Hints!
Look for key words such as difference (then consider numbers of samples, the relationship between them, sample size etc) or association (consider data types involved).
Present all findings, significant or otherwise!
Part B – Managerial Implications
These are not a repeat of your findings but applications of these findings in the decision making process, this is combined within the section containing the analysis and findings.
Apply your analysis and the case scenario to any findings and discussion, do not pluck ideas out of thin air or make very general observations about the problem.
All results can play a part in this process, significant or otherwise.
General Points I
This is an individual piece of work. Students are likely to discuss the analytical aspects of the assignment (OK – this is a positive part of the learning process), but any written results and recommendations should be undertaken without discussion and without electr.

A Strategic Approach: GenAI in EducationPeter Windle
Artificial Intelligence (AI) technologies such as Generative AI, Image Generators and Large Language Models have had a dramatic impact on teaching, learning and assessment over the past 18 months. The most immediate threat AI posed was to Academic Integrity with Higher Education Institutes (HEIs) focusing their efforts on combating the use of GenAI in assessment. Guidelines were developed for staff and students, policies put in place too. Innovative educators have forged paths in the use of Generative AI for teaching, learning and assessments leading to pockets of transformation springing up across HEIs, often with little or no top-down guidance, support or direction.
This Gasta posits a strategic approach to integrating AI into HEIs to prepare staff, students and the curriculum for an evolving world and workplace. We will highlight the advantages of working with these technologies beyond the realm of teaching, learning and assessment by considering prompt engineering skills, industry impact, curriculum changes, and the need for staff upskilling. In contrast, not engaging strategically with Generative AI poses risks, including falling behind peers, missed opportunities and failing to ensure our graduates remain employable. The rapid evolution of AI technologies necessitates a proactive and strategic approach if we are to remain relevant.
Acetabularia Information For Class 9 .docxvaibhavrinwa19
Acetabularia acetabulum is a single-celled green alga that in its vegetative state is morphologically differentiated into a basal rhizoid and an axially elongated stalk, which bears whorls of branching hairs. The single diploid nucleus resides in the rhizoid.
The French Revolution, which began in 1789, was a period of radical social and political upheaval in France. It marked the decline of absolute monarchies, the rise of secular and democratic republics, and the eventual rise of Napoleon Bonaparte. This revolutionary period is crucial in understanding the transition from feudalism to modernity in Europe.

2024.06.01 Introducing a competency framework for languag learning materials ...Sandy Millin
http://sandymillin.wordpress.com/iateflwebinar2024
Published classroom materials form the basis of syllabuses, drive teacher professional development, and have a potentially huge influence on learners, teachers and education systems. All teachers also create their own materials, whether a few sentences on a blackboard, a highly-structured fully-realised online course, or anything in between. Despite this, the knowledge and skills needed to create effective language learning materials are rarely part of teacher training, and are mostly learnt by trial and error.
Knowledge and skills frameworks, generally called competency frameworks, for ELT teachers, trainers and managers have existed for a few years now. However, until I created one for my MA dissertation, there wasn’t one drawing together what we need to know and do to be able to effectively produce language learning materials.
This webinar will introduce you to my framework, highlighting the key competencies I identified from my research. It will also show how anybody involved in language teaching (any language, not just English!), teacher training, managing schools or developing language learning materials can benefit from using the framework.

Operation “Blue Star” is the only event in the history of Independent India where the state went into war with its own people. Even after about 40 years it is not clear if it was culmination of states anger over people of the region, a political game of power or start of dictatorial chapter in the democratic setup.
The people of Punjab felt alienated from main stream due to denial of their just demands during a long democratic struggle since independence. As it happen all over the word, it led to militant struggle with great loss of lives of military, police and civilian personnel. Killing of Indira Gandhi and massacre of innocent Sikhs in Delhi and other India cities was also associated with this movement.
1. Test administrators
assigned to an oral/signed
administration of STAAR
are required to be trained in
the appropriate procedures.
2. This training does not
take the place of reading
your manual.
The manual should accompany this training!
3. Introduction, page 1
• This manual specifically addresses the administration of assessments to
students who meet the eligibility requirements for an oral/signed
administration.
• All persons who provide an Oral Administration must be trained on the
guidelines so all oral administrations are provided in the same manner.
4. EnsureThat the SameTest Form Is Used, page 2
• For STAAR, form 01 is the overage in all shipments. This is the form that
should be utilized for all oral assessments.
• For STAAR Spanish grades 3–5 there will be only one form for all
administrations; therefore, the test administrator and the students should
automatically have the same form.
• For paper versions of STAAR with embedded supports, there is only one
form.Therefore, the test administrator and the students should
automatically have the same form.
5. EnsureThat the SameTest Form Is Used
• When orally administering parts of test questions or answer choices at a
student’s request on a paper assessment for administrations where there
are more than one test form available, it is acceptable to read over the
student’s shoulder.
• When orally administering a braille assessment, the test administrator
should use the regular-print test booklet that is included with the shipment
of braille materials.Test administrators must also refer to the specific braille
instructions provided in the braille materials.
6. EnsureTest Security, page 3
• All security measures outlined in the STAARTest Administrator Manuals must be
followed. This will be covered in STAARTest AdministratorTraining.
• Any type of oral administration in which the test administrator has to view a secure
state assessment requires that the test administrator sign the Oath ofTest Security
and Confidentiality forTest Administrator document.
• This includes the bottom section of the oath for test administrators who are authorized to
view secure state assessments.
• Responding to test questions, making notes about test questions, and discussing
the content of the assessment at any time are prohibited. In addition, test
administrators may not write notes or calculations in a test booklet.
• Test administrators must not rephrase, clarify, or interpret any test content.
• Unauthorized verbal and nonverbal assistance may not be provided to students.
7. Grouping Students for aTest Administration, page 3
• An assessment may be orally administered to a small group provided that every
student in the small group is eligible for an oral administration.
• Test administrators must be made aware of the reading needs of the student as
well as any requirements that are documented in the student’s paperwork.
• This includes, if applicable to the oral administration, understanding the level of the
student’s reading support and whether that level of reading support can change during
testing, based on the documentation in the student’s paperwork.
• When reading aloud test content, the test administrator may wait to read aloud the
next question and answer choices until all students are ready.Test administrators
may also walk around the room and quietly read aloud the questions and answer
choices to students at their own pace.
• A student who receives an oral administration may complete the assessment in a
separate setting to eliminate distractions to other students and to ensure
confidentiality of the test.
8. What may be read aloud during an Oral Administration?, page 4
Test administrators may read aloud supplementary materials.
• This includes the dictionary during grades 6-8 and EOC reading and writing
assessments, as well as the state supplied math and science charts.
• Allowable accommodations may be read for eligible students as well as the dictionary
in grades 3-5.
• Math, Science, and Social Studies: the entire test may be read aloud to a
student.
• Reading: only the questions and answer choices may be read aloud. The
reading selections may NEVER be read aloud.
• Writing: No part of the revising or editing section may be read. The reading
of the prompts is allowed for any student who requests the assistance.
9. What constitutes a test question?, page 4
It is important to understand what constitutes a test question.
• A test administrator must understand that any part of the test question may
be read aloud.This applies to
• words in the questions and the answer choices,
• including words in graphics (e.g., table, graph, grid, diagram, map, photograph,
cartoon, or picture) and
• boxed text pulled directly from a selection.
10. Test Administration Procedures
• If a student needs all of the test questions read aloud, the test questions
must be read aloud in the order they are presented.
• For reading assessments, the student must independently read the
selection first, and then the test administrator may read aloud each test
question in the order presented.
• If a student is working through the assessment independently, requesting
only certain words, phrases, or sentences to be read at various times, the
test administrator will read aloud what the student requests when he or she
requests it. No particular order must be followed.
11. Test Administration Procedures
• Test administrators may read aloud any word, phrase, or sentence in the
test questions and answer choices as many times as needed.
• At the end of the assessment, the test administrator may go back to reread a question
and its answer choices at a student’s request.
• Test administrators must be familiar with content-specific terms and
symbols associated with the subject-area assessment.
• Test administrators must keep their voice inflection neutral; however,
words that are boldfaced, italicized, or printed entirely in capital letters
must be emphasized.
12. Oral Administration (GA) Code on Answer
Document, page 5
• If directed to do so by the campus coordinator, the test administrator will
code “GA” in the ACCOMM. Field as available on the student’s answer
document or in the online system, if applicable.
13. Guidelines for Reading AloudVariousTypes of
Test Questions, page 5
• The guidelines and examples in this document reflect content tested on a STAAR
assessment from various grade levels and subject areas. Not every type of test
question is addressed.
• Test administrators are allowed to generalize from these guidelines and examples when
reading aloud other types of test questions.
• Additional guidelines for signing test content to a student who is deaf or hard of
hearing are provided in the General Instructions for Administering Statewide
Assessments to StudentsWho are Deaf or Hard of Hearing document.
14. Guidelines for Mathematics, pages 6-12
**Specific examples must be reviewed
• Abbreviations
• Algebraic Expressions/Equations
• Other Equations
• Geometric Symbols
• Graphics
• Bar graphs, clock faces, coordinate grids/graphs, diagrams, money, number lines,
pictographs
• These must NOT be interpreted for the student.
• Number Lists
• Numerical Expressions
• Dashes, dates, decimals, exponents, fractions, functional notation, money, ordered pairs,
parentheses and brackets, ratios, Roman numerals, set notation and interval notation,
subscripts, symbols
15. Example, page 25
Any text in the test question and
answer choices may be read
aloud.
This example may be read aloud
as follows. “The model below is
shaded to represent three and
seven over one hundred.Which
decimal does the model
represent? A, three point zero
zero seven. B, three point seven.
C, three point zero seven. D,
zero point three seven.”
16. Example, page 26
The question may be read aloud, as
well as labels in the coordinate grid.
However, reading aloud the answer
choices must follow the guidelines in
this document.
Only individual numbers and variables
within the notation may be read aloud
if the student requests this assistance.
The test administrator may NOT read
aloud each answer choice in its
entirety.
17. Example, page 27
Any text in the test question or
answer choices may be read aloud;
however, the triangle and circle
should be read aloud as “blank.”
For example, the first equation may
be read aloud as “blank plus blank
equals 11.”
18. Guidelines for Reading, pages 13-14
It is important to note that reading aloud reading selections is NOT allowed. The
guidelines in this section refer to reading test questions and directions. In addition,
the guidelines in this section should be followed when reading aloud expository and
persuasive writing prompts.
• Abbreviations
• Numbers
• Direction Lines
• Graphics
• Diagrams, story maps
• VerbatimText
19. Example, page 27
Any text in the test question or
answer choices may be read aloud,
including the boxed text pulled
directly from the reading selection.

• Abbreviations
• Equations and scientific expressions
• Capital and lowercase letters, chemical elements and compounds, chemical equations,
scientific names
• Graphics
• Bar graphs, circle graphs, codon charts, coordinate grids/graphs, diagrams, maps,
photographs with labels, tables
• Numerical Expressions
• Dashes, dates, decimals, degrees, exponents, percents, Roman numerals
21. Example, page 28
Any text in the question may be read aloud, including the “Record” directions.
The chemical equation may be read aloud as, “C three H eight plus five O two
symbol three C O two plus four H two O.”
It is NOT allowable to indicate what the arrow represents.
22. Example, page 28
The first sentence may be read aloud in its
entirety.
For the graphic, the test administrator should say
something similar to, “Take a few moments to
look at the graphic and tell me whether you would
like anything read aloud.Then let me know when
you are ready to go on.”
If needed, the information in the graphic may be
read aloud as, “F air equals eighty four N.”
The text under the graphic and in the answer
choices may be read aloud; however, reading
aloud the answer choices must follow the
guidelines in this document.
For example, answer choice A may be read aloud
as, “zero point six six meters per second squared
backward, because…”
23. Guidelines for Social Studies, pages 20-24

For the graphic, the test administrator should
say something similar to, “Take a few moments
to look at the map and tell me whether you
would like anything read aloud. Then let me
know when you are ready to go on.”
For example, if the student needs help reading
information in the key aloud, the test
administrator should point to the words and
say, “This says over one million.”
However, symbols may NOT be described or
interpreted.
Once students are ready to go on, any text in
the test question and answer choices may be
read aloud.
