Abstract: Evaluation system is direct reflection of the success of fulfillment of the predetermined educational objective. The conventional clinical and practical examination is beset with several problems. Although marking should depend only on student variability, examiner variability significantly affect scoring.1 The Objective Structured Practical Examination (OSPE) can assess practical competencies in an appropriate, step-wise, methodical, objective and time-orientated manner with direct observation of the student's performance during planned practical test stations. OSPE is a good teaching tool that helps students to reinforce learning leading to better performance in practical exams.

Abstract: This research was a quasi-experimental design that aims to obtain a description of students' critical thinking skills between the students taught by active learning strategy which is integrated with computer simulation and the students taught using conventional learning at physics department in academic year 2017/2018. Based on the result of expert validation analysis on instructional device, it is found that all learning tools namely computer simulation, semester learning plan, student worksheet, and critical thinking instruments are valid and reliable with above 90% average value which is in a very high category. The result of the statistical analysis shows that the average score of critical thinking ability of experimental class is 19.53 in a high category while control class.......

Abstract: This study aimed at determining the effect of Reggio Emilia Approach (REA) and learning styles of the children language ability at the kindergartens in Makassar. The research design was 2 x 2 factorial designs. The population was all kindergarten children in Makassar. The sample was selected using a random technique. There were two selected kindergartens. The first was TK Teratai UNM as the first experimental group which was taught by applying REA in role play. The second was TK Rahmah as the second experimental group which was taught by applying REA in the storytelling activities in which there were 20 children in each class. Some results were found in this study. First, the language ability of children who apply REA in role-playing is higher than the children who apply REA in storytelling. Second, the language ability of the children who have dependent field learning styles is higher than the children who have independent field learning styles. Third, Language ability of children who apply REA in......

Abstract: Over the last few decades there has been a paradigm shift from teacher-centered to student-centered learning. The teachers have been more of facilitator ensuring learning objectives are met. Problem Based Learning (PBL) is considered one of the most favorable method in Student-Centered learning. From this point of view Moi University adopted the PBL. This study aims to assess the lecturers' knowledge and perception regarding problem-based learning (PBL). Participants were 65 lecturers in the College of Health Sciences. Self-administered questionnaires were used in data collection. Data analysis done utilizing SPSS 22. The overall response rate was 100 % (N=65), 38% (25) had PBL knowledge at joining program, 34 (52%) viewed program graduates as independent, innovative............
