Development of Pisa 2015 Based Chemical Literacy Assessment Instrument For High School Students

This study aims to develop valid and reliable chemical literacy assessment instruments based on PISA 2015. The development procedures carried out were 1) research and information collecting, 2) planning, 3) development preliminary form of product, 4) preliminary field testing, and 5) main product revision. Instrument of development result was validated(content validity and empirical validity). Content validity assessment data was obtained from the validity test results from two chemistry lecturers. Empirical validity test data were acquired from68 grade XI students as test subjects who came from five high schools in Malang. An empirical validity test was used to obtain the level of validity, reliability, discrimination index, difficulty level, and effectiveness of distractors of the items developed in the instrument. The instrument of development results consisted of 20 multiple choice items and 4 attitude questionnaires. The results of the content validity test indicated a valid instrument (the average score for the aspects of substance, construction, and language was 83.9). The results of the empirical validity test showed that multiple-choice items had a correlation value of 0.37-0.77, categorized as valid, and the reliability value was 0.86, classified as highly reliable. The discrimination index obtained was five items ranked as sufficiently good and 15 items categorized as good, while five items classified as easy item, 14 moderate items, and one difficult item, all distractors were functioning. The empirical validity test results in the form of an attitude questionnaire showed a correlation value of 0.65-0.69, so they were valid, and the reliability value was 0.59, classified as quite high criteria. Instrument development results proved to be valid and reliable, so it is feasible to be used to measure students' chemical literacy skills.ReferencesAmerican Association for the Advancement of Science (AAAS).

Bibliometric studies on single journals: a review

This paper covers a total of 82 bibliometric studies on single journals (62 studies cover unique titles) published between 1998 and 2008 grouped into the following fields; Arts, Humanities and Social Sciences (12 items); Medical and Health Sciences (19 items); Sciences and Technology (30 items) and Library and Information Sciences (21 items). Under each field the studies are described in accordance to their geographical location in the following order, United Kingdom, United States and Americana, Europe, Asia (India, Africa and Malaysia). For each study, elements described are (a) the journal’s publication characteristics and indexation information; (b) the objectives; (c) the sampling and bibliometric measures used; and (d) the results observed. A list of journal titles studied is appended. The results show that (a)bibliometric studies cover journals in various fields; (b) there are several revisits of some journals which are considered important; (c) Asian and African contributions is high (41.4 of total studies; 43.5 covering unique titles), United States (30.4 of total; 31.0 on unique titles), Europe (18.2 of total and 14.5 on unique titles) and the United Kingdom (10 of total and 11 on unique titles); (d) a high number of bibliometrists are Indians and as such coverage of Indian journals is high (28 of total studies; 30.6 of unique titles); and (e) the quality of the journals and their importance either nationally or internationally are inferred from their indexation status

Challenges to Teaching Credibility Assessment in Contemporary Schooling

Part of the Volume on Digital Media, Youth, and CredibilityThis chapter explores several challenges that exist to teaching credibility assessment in the school environment. Challenges range from institutional barriers such as government regulation and school policies and procedures to dynamic challenges related to young people's cognitive development and the consequent difficulties of navigating a complex web environment. The chapter includes a critique of current practices for teaching kids credibility assessment and highlights some best practices for credibility education

New product development in an emerging economy: analysing the role of supplier involvement practices by using Bayesian Markov chain Monte Carlo technique

The research question is whether the positive relationship found between supplier involvement practices and new product development performances in developed economies also holds in emerging economies. The role of supplier involvement practices in new product development performance is yet to be substantially investigated in the emerging economies (other than China). This premise was examined by distributing a survey instrument (Jayaram’s (2008) published survey instrument that has been utilised in developed economies) to Malaysian manufacturing companies. To gauge the relationship between the supplier involvement practices and new product development (NPD) project performance of 146 companies, structural equation modelling was adopted. Our findings prove that supplier involvement practices have a significant positive impact on NPD project performance in an emerging economy with respect to quality objectives, design objectives, cost objectives, and “time-to-market” objectives. Further analysis using the Bayesian Markov Chain Monte Carlo algorithm, yielding a more credible and feasible differentiation, confirmed these results (even in the case of an emerging economy) and indicated that these practices have a 28% impact on variance of NPD project performance. This considerable effect implies that supplier involvement is a must have, although further research is needed to identify the contingencies for its practices
