Researchers must carefully screen data before conducting statistical analysis to address issues that could impact results. This involves evaluating accuracy, assessing effects of missing or outlier data, and determining if the data fits assumptions. Specifically, researchers should check for errors, missing patterns, extreme outliers, normality, linear relationships, and equal variability across values. Addressing these quality issues through data screening allows researchers to have confidence in their analysis and conclusions drawn from the data.

Topics:
1. Grading and Reporting System
2. Statistics
Overview
In this chapter, the assigning of grades to students and how it should be done in relation to
the intended learning outcomes have been achieved and that grading policies of schools must also
be taken into consideration in developing a grading system.
Section Intended Learning Outcome
At the end of this section, you should be able to:
Demonstrate skills in preparing and interpreting grades
Assess the effectiveness of parent-teacher conference as a venue for reporting learner's
performance
Chapter Intended Learning Outcome
At the end of this chapter, you are expected to demonstrate skills in interpreting test results
and reporting of grades.
GRADING SYSTEM
- a system that is used to assess the educational performance of a child which is entirely
based upon points alone
REPORTING SYSTEM
- a process of communicating comprehensive information about students progress and
learning at a point in time
The guiding premises in developing grading and reporting system are provided below:
1. The primary goal of grading and reporting is communication.
2. Grading and reporting are integral parts of the instructional process.
3. Good reporting is based on good evidence.
4. Changes in grading and reporting are best accomplished through the development of a
comprehensive reporting system
In developing and implementing the grading and reporting systems, these premises must be
taken into consideration to have a meaningful output and help in the attainment of the student
learning objectives, to which the assessment objectives cascaded.
K to 12 GRADING OF LEARNING OUTCOMES
The K to 12 assessment is leaner-centered and carefully considers its learning
environment system.
The 21st century skills such as research, analytical/critical, practical and creative are part
of the indicators included in the K to12 assessment.
Both cognitive and non-cognitive skills which includes values, motivation, attitude,
behavior traits, and interpersonal relations are part of the assessment.
Formative assessment (assessment FOR learning) is given importance to ensure learning.
Learners are encourage to take part in the process of self-assessment (assessment AS
learning)
Summative forms of assessment (assessment OF learning) are also part of the curriculum
assessment under the K to 12.
The K to 12 curriculum prescribes that the assessment process should utilize the wide
variety of traditional and authentic assessment tools and techniques for a valid,
reliable, and realistic assessment of learning.
In K to 12 curriculum, assessment will be standards-based to ensure that there is
standardization in teaching and learning. Department of Education (DepEd) issued an order
(DepEd Order No. 31. s. 2012) stating that Assessment will be done in four levels and will be
weighted accordingly.
Total Survey Error across a program of three national surveys: using a risk m...Sonia Whiteley
The Australian Government recently announced the Quality Indicators for Learning and Teaching (QILT) program for higher education as part of the 2014-15 budget. The QILT research program consists of an integrated suite of surveys that follow over one million students from their entry into the higher education system, to graduation and into employment. The surveys underpinning the indicators include:
• The University Experience Survey (UES) (which will become the Student Experience Survey (SES) in 2015),
• The Graduate Outcomes Survey, and (GOS)
• The Employer Satisfaction Survey (ESS).
Each of these surveys are at different stages of maturity. The SES is well established in the higher education sector. The ESS is in a post-pilot phase. The GOS is currently in development. Australia’s 40 universities have previously been involved in national student and graduate surveys. However more than 100 private higher education providers that are in-scope for QILT have little experience with this type of survey program.
As survey managers, our challenge is to deliver high quality survey outcomes on budget and with minimal error while supporting an extensive change management process across the sector. Using a Total Survey Error (TSE) framework to evaluate the design of each survey and develop a structured approach to making decisions about continuous improvement is already part of our research practice. Attempting to address all of the potential survey errors during a single cycle of data collection would be costly and make it difficult to determine which mitigation strategy was effective. A risk management approach has, therefore, been developed to assess each error of representation or measurement so that it can be prioritised for remediation. The integration of TSE and risk management frameworks across the QILT surveys will be discussed.

This is a presentation by Dada Robert in a Your Skill Boost masterclass organised by the Excellence Foundation for South Sudan (EFSS) on Saturday, the 25th and Sunday, the 26th of May 2024.
He discussed the concept of quality improvement, emphasizing its applicability to various aspects of life, including personal, project, and program improvements. He defined quality as doing the right thing at the right time in the right way to achieve the best possible results and discussed the concept of the "gap" between what we know and what we do, and how this gap represents the areas we need to improve. He explained the scientific approach to quality improvement, which involves systematic performance analysis, testing and learning, and implementing change ideas. He also highlighted the importance of client focus and a team approach to quality improvement.

The Roman Empire A Historical Colossus.pdfkaushalkr1407
The Roman Empire, a vast and enduring power, stands as one of history's most remarkable civilizations, leaving an indelible imprint on the world. It emerged from the Roman Republic, transitioning into an imperial powerhouse under the leadership of Augustus Caesar in 27 BCE. This transformation marked the beginning of an era defined by unprecedented territorial expansion, architectural marvels, and profound cultural influence.
The empire's roots lie in the city of Rome, founded, according to legend, by Romulus in 753 BCE. Over centuries, Rome evolved from a small settlement to a formidable republic, characterized by a complex political system with elected officials and checks on power. However, internal strife, class conflicts, and military ambitions paved the way for the end of the Republic. Julius Caesar’s dictatorship and subsequent assassination in 44 BCE created a power vacuum, leading to a civil war. Octavian, later Augustus, emerged victorious, heralding the Roman Empire’s birth.
Under Augustus, the empire experienced the Pax Romana, a 200-year period of relative peace and stability. Augustus reformed the military, established efficient administrative systems, and initiated grand construction projects. The empire's borders expanded, encompassing territories from Britain to Egypt and from Spain to the Euphrates. Roman legions, renowned for their discipline and engineering prowess, secured and maintained these vast territories, building roads, fortifications, and cities that facilitated control and integration.
The Roman Empire’s society was hierarchical, with a rigid class system. At the top were the patricians, wealthy elites who held significant political power. Below them were the plebeians, free citizens with limited political influence, and the vast numbers of slaves who formed the backbone of the economy. The family unit was central, governed by the paterfamilias, the male head who held absolute authority.
Culturally, the Romans were eclectic, absorbing and adapting elements from the civilizations they encountered, particularly the Greeks. Roman art, literature, and philosophy reflected this synthesis, creating a rich cultural tapestry. Latin, the Roman language, became the lingua franca of the Western world, influencing numerous modern languages.
Roman architecture and engineering achievements were monumental. They perfected the arch, vault, and dome, constructing enduring structures like the Colosseum, Pantheon, and aqueducts. These engineering marvels not only showcased Roman ingenuity but also served practical purposes, from public entertainment to water supply.

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.
2. Epilogue
➢ Researchers must consider several important issues before he or she wishes
to subject data to multivariate analysis.
➢ Issues must be carefully considered, analyzed and addressed prior to the
actual statistical analysis; only after these quality assurance issues have been
examined can the researcher be confident that the main analysis will be an
honest one, which will eventually result in effective conclusions derived from
the data.
3. Why Screen Data?
1. To evaluate the accuracy of the data
2. To assess the effects of missing data
3. To assess the effects of extreme values on the analysis
4. To assess the adequacy of fit between the data and the assumptions of the
specific procedure.
4. Evaluating the Accuracy of Data
❑ The results of any statistical analysis are only as effective and reliable as the
data analyzed regardless of the data collected.
❑ If inaccurate data are used, the researcher will not be able to distinguish the
extent to which the results are valid simply by examining the output
5. Assessing Effects of Missing Data
❑ Why do we have missing data?
❑ Equipment failure
❑ Incomplete responses
❑ Data entry
❑ Even though errors do occur within research many researchers fail to
understand the gravity errors have on the overall outcome of the research.
❑ The best thing to do when a data set includes missing data is to examine it.
❑ Using data that are available, a researcher should conduct tests to see if
patterns exist in the missing data
6. Assessing Effects of Missing Data
❑ Delete cases or variables that have caused a problem if only a few has been
missing
❑ If the situation is where the missing values may be concentrated to only a few
variables, then deleting the entire variable from the data file may be an option
considering that it does not affect the overall analysis and results
❑ We estimate the missing values and then use these values during the main
analysis.
❑ Prior knowledge
❑ Calculate the mean
❑ Using a regression approach involves several independent variables are used
to develop an equation that can be used to predict the value on a dependent
variable
❑ Objective, yet unrealistic
❑ The predictors must be good ones!
7. Analyzing the Effects of Outliers
❑ Why do we have outliers?
❑ Data entry error
❑ The subject is not part of the population of interest
❑ The subject is not
❑ The problem with outliers is that they can distort the results of a statistical test.
This is due largely to the fact that many statistical procedures rely on squared
deviations from the mean
❑ A single outlier, if extreme enough, can cause the results of a statistical test to
be significant or insignificant depending on the extreme and can seriously
affect the values of correlation coefficients.
❑ Outliers can exist in both univariate and multivariate situations, among
dichotomous and continuous variables, and among independent variables as
well as dependent variables
8. Analyzing the Effects of Outliers
❑ Why do we have outliers?
❑ Data entry error
❑ The subject is not part of the population of interest
❑ The subject is not
❑ The problem with outliers is that they can distort the results of a statistical test.
This is due largely to the fact that many statistical procedures rely on squared
deviations from the mean
❑ A single outlier, if extreme enough, can cause the results of a statistical test to
be significant or insignificant depending on the extreme and can seriously
affect the values of correlation coefficients.
❑ Outliers can exist in both univariate and multivariate situations, among
dichotomous and continuous variables, and among independent variables as
well as dependent variables
9. Analyzing the Effects of Outliers
❑ Univariate outliers can also be detected through statistical methods by
standardizing all raw scores in the distribution.
❑ Multivariate outliers are more subtle and therefore, more difficult to identify
10. Assessing the Adequacy of Fit
❑ To meet the robustness, the following must be met:
❑ Normality
❑ Graphical methods such as histogram or a QQ plot.
❑ Kolmogorov-Smirnov/Shapiro-Wilk (must be > .05)
❑ Linearity
❑ Assessed by depicting the straight line relationship between data
❑ Creating a scatterplot for every variable
❑ The assumption of linearity is important in multivariate analyses due
to the fact that many if the analysis techniques are based on linear
combinations of variables
❑ Homoscedasticity
❑ Homoscedasticity is the assumption that the variable in scores for
one continuous variable is roughly the same as all the values of
another continuous variable.
❑ Levene’s test provides a test of the hypothesis that the samples
come from populations with the same variances (must be > .05)
