This document summarizes a conference paper about the impact of NAPLAN testing on Indigenous students in Australia. It finds that Indigenous students consistently score below non-Indigenous students in NAPLAN. This is referred to as "the gap". The document examines reasons for this gap and explores whether schools choose inclusive programs that respect Indigenous learning styles or programs focused on improving NAPLAN scores when aiming to close the gap. It recommends the paper will analyze preferred Indigenous learning styles, inclusive strategies, and tensions between Indigenous styles and standardized testing.
The Case for IT Training within Guinea’s Ministry of Agriculture: Evaluating ...Maurice Dawson
This article critically analyzes a project executed for the The John Ogonowski and Doug Bereuter Farmer-to-Farmer Program which provides technical assistance with volunteers from the United States to farmers, agricultural institutions, and government organizations involved in agriculture such as the Ministry of Agriculture. In Guinea, the focus is on computer literacy as more sectors of agriculture rely on computing technology. These skills needs range from basic computing tasks such as creating databases to more advanced items such as programming Global Positional Systems. This study looks at findings, based on the analysis of the System Usability Scale results from a sample of 16 participants. The findings demonstrated that the training proved to be effective for the participants and continued training is necessary. As a result of training 62.5% of the participants ranked above average, as opposed to 43.6% prior to training.

Students’ performance in mathematics has been an issue of great concern to most countries,
especially the developing nations. So many programmes have been put in place to improve performances and to
also encourage student to study the course in tertiary institution. In this study we investigate the relationship of
semester, department of a student, age and load unit on marginal mathematics performance o f undergraduate
students. A marginal model was formulated using four working correlation structure where the exchangeable
working correlation structure was selected as the best that models the dataset using quasi information criteria.
The semester, age and load unit were found to be related to the marginal performance in mathematics
Comparative And Non Comparative Evaluation In Educational TechnologyYousuf Salim
The document summarizes two studies: a comparative study of students' perceptions of online learning components in a traditional classroom course, and a non-comparative study of whether introducing ICT strategies reduced teacher workloads. The comparative study surveyed 58% fourth-year and 39% third-year business students on their experiences with an online learning unit. It found overall student satisfaction and perceived benefits of the online units. The non-comparative study was based on surveys and interviews of school staff and found that effective use of ICT can help address workload issues if well-planned and supported, and has helped teacher efficiency.

Teacher attrition rates have been steadily increasing since 1988 and cost the United States an estimated $7 billion annually. The most common reason teachers cite for leaving the profession is lack of support. Providing targeted and effective professional development can help curb teacher attrition by over 50% and significantly improve student outcomes. Online professional development is as effective as traditional methods, more cost efficient because it saves on expenses like travel, and can be personalized to individual teachers' needs.
Nearly 50 percent of all new teachers quit within just five years. The resulting losses, both financial and in student performance, are staggering. Find out how professional development can help curb teacher attrition and improve student learning!

Conclusion and Recommendations
Editor's Notes
The purpose of this presentation is to share some background information regarding NAPLAN in order to prepare you for my conference paper entitled ‘Culture Clash within the Classroom: A Study of Indigenous Learning Styles and the Impact on NAPLAN’
Naplan is a state wide test. It stands for "National Assessment Program - Literacy and Numeracy". In more simple words, they are tests of English and Maths that every student in the country completes. NAPLAN happens every year in May, and all students in Years 3, 5, 7 and 9 have to complete the tests. -The aim of NAPLAN is to test students' progress and ability in reading, writing, spelling, grammar, punctuation, and all areas of mathematics. -NAPLAN ranks students and compares them to every other student of the same grade Australia wide.
-NAPLAN can and should be an assessment to use for teaching purposes -to recognise the skills that students have, and what they are ready to learn.. however, NAPLAN data has been used more controversially, taking the focus away from the individual student. -One of these uses of NAPLAN data is the creation of MySchool reports. This is a website that compares schools based on NAPLAN data. There are early signs that the MySchool rankings have panicked some parents into withdrawing their children from schools with poor results. Competition for places in better performing public schools, such as selective schools in NSW, is intense. Enrolments in private Catholic and independent schools have begun to proportionally increase again, after several years of decline. The division of schools is dramatically worsening, with those in working class areas generally registering the worst NAPLAN results and their students and staff suffering the greatest pressure. -While NAPLAN already encourages competition between schools, Julia Gillard is actively promoting policies that seek to divide teachers using teacher performance pay. This week’s budget contains provisions to pay bonuses of between $5,400 and $8,100 to the “top performing” 10 percent of teachers from 2014. NAPLAN results will be among the criteria used to determine who receives the bonuses. As the autonomy of principals over teacher hiring is extended nationally, schools with low NAPLAN scores will struggle to attract experienced staff, while high performing schools will inevitably seek out the so-called top performing teachers.
-Another thing the NAPLAN data does is make a gap in achievement between Indigenous and non-indigenous students evident. -In general, the achievement of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander students at or above the national minimum standard is below that of other students at every year level and in all three key domains. -The gaps between the percentage of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander students and non-Indigenous students attaining the national minimum standard for all year levels and domains ranged from 16.7 percentage points to 30.2 percentage points. -This graph represent the NAPLAN results of Indigenous and non-Indigenous students by Year level across the three domains and is an example of the gap. -This gap causes great distress among teachers due to the emphasis on NAPLAN data for the previously mentioned reasons. Schools with high Indigenous enrolments therefore have lower than average test scores than those schools that have low indigenous student enrolment.
The Council of Australian Government (COAG) s National Indigenous Reform target that is specific for literacy and numeracy achievement is to halve the gap for Indigenous students in reading, writing and numeracy by 2018. The way the government examines this progress, is the sole use of NAPLAN data. Schools are required to maximise teaching and learning outcomes for indigenous students by delivering programs suited to individual student and school needs. Because the achievements are data driven, it places a great deal of stress onto schools to choose programs that will help close the gap. Do they choose programs that are inclusive of indigenous students? Strategies that will cater for their learning styles and help them retain their knowledge? Or do they choose programs and strategies that will improve the NAPLAN data? My paper will discuss the discontinuity between how indigenous students learn, and how they are assessed.
-topics that will be addressed include: An Education History from Both Sides The culture clash within the classroom is in reference to the Indigenous culture and the European based culture, of which the education system is descended from. The paper will briefly outline the origin of education from the Indigenous Australian culture and the European culture in order to see how they clash so violently. Reasons for ‘the gap’: Difficulties Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Students face in the Australian school system ----Difficulties that Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander students face in the Australian school system will be addressed and linked to the lack of inclusivity of learning styles and culture. Examining the preferred learning styles of Indigenous students The paper will then examine the preferred learning styles of indigenous students. Strategies and programs inclusive of Indigenous learning styles and culture To be inclusive of Indigenous students, teachers need to teach to their style of learning. The next section of the paper suggests some strategies and programs that cater for their learning needs. Indigenous Learning Styles versus NAPLAN However, catering for Indigenous students learning styles does not necessarily mean the gap between indigenous and non-indigenous students will close. The Indigenous Learning Styles versus NAPLAN section will discuss some issues associated with being inclusive of Indigenous learning styles. Conclusion and Recommendations The paper will then make recommendations that involve sharing efforts and rewards to make the education system as well as the testing system more inclusive for our Aboriginal students in order to close the gap between indigenous and non-indigenous students. Thank you for your time. I hope that you enjoy reading my paper.
