The wide range of the Freshmen English placement test scores implies the necessity of differentiating classes. However without a careful and detailed plan, there could be trial and error which would cause harmful and complicated troubles to students. This paper will report a case of grouping Freshmen for English classes at the Engineering College of a provincial university. The main procedures include preparing and executing the placement test, grouping classes, preparing and executing a common final test, preparing grading policy, and reporting. Each procedure is going to be explained and evaluated to improve the quality of English classes and the ability of students at the Engineering College.

Current Mathematics of CSAT(College Scholastic Ability Test) faced with preparing the test system and test items according to the new curriculum. The discuss about how to construct the items and what form of items should be set was not conducted enough. To accord with these requirements, in this study, mathematics exams for university entrance in Taiwan are investigated. We look into General Scholastic Ability Test(GSAT) and Advanced Subjects Test(AST) in Taiwan. Those exams are analyzed in terms of exam system, mathematical contents, types of items, and so on. And then on the basis of this, we discuss implications on mathematics assessment type and contents, further mathematics learning.

$\sub$e/$\^$2/, that were results from those three sources of such imperfection. Especially to eliminate the differences in severity among many raters the randomization procedure of raters sample was very effective in enhancing the reliability of ratings with comparatively small groups of examinees and raters. And we also introduced the new rating methods, i.e. the 2-step diagnostic procedures to check the sizes of the reliability stability of raters and the sore adjustment method to enumerate the optimal mean values in rating the examinees.

In this study, we made the analysis of the relation with mathematical tests and scholastic attainments of gifted students using the results of entrance end comprehensives exams and so on in science education center for gifted youths. For this, we firstly made an analysis of correlation between math and math, math and science and science and science using the test results. And then, we interviewed four students. From this, we found followings. First, in every assessment except for those carried out during the semester in the center, we saw a very low or negative correlation between the students' grades in math and that in science. Second, in contrast to the correlations among other assessments, a high correlation of the students' grades in math and science appeared in regard of the assessments carried out during the semester in the center. Third, correlations between the grades of assessments in mathematics were much lower than that in science. Fourth, many students thought the assessments in the center were not as valuable as those in their schools, which are referred to in getting into a school of high grade. So some of the students who gained excellent grades showed a relatively low achievement. Fifth, students in the center regarded a vigorous communication and inquiry learning on enriched themes as the biggest merit of attending the center.

The purpose of this paper is to compare and analyze TOEIC scores of two kinds of courses opened at a university and the distribution of TOEIC scores of two groups. In addition, this paper will examine the ability of participants and the used instructional materials and equipment. The university has two kinds of TOEIC courses; one is a four-week intensive course opened in summer and winter vacations, where students participate in the classes from 9:00 a.m. to 4:00 p.m. The other is a regular TOEIC course, offering one-hour class every day from Monday to Friday during the university semester (15 weeks). This paper points out how important, the EFL/ESL teacher education, teaching materials, teaching methods and e-learning in operating more effective classes. The intensive TOEIC course and the regular TOEIC course include 120 hours and 75 hours a semester, respectively. Unfortunately, both courses have such a limited amount of time that students cannot achieve their fluent and perfect command of English. For Korean student to master English in a limited amount of both time and resources, the development of effective and qualitative EFL/ESL Intensive courses is essential.

According to the degree of teacher's understanding for the curriculum, There are a lot of differences in teaching-learning methods and assessment items are one of the representative products reflecting these differences. Therefore we need to investigate how the understanding degree of the teacher for curriculum is reflected in the paper-based assessment items through analyzing them. In this study, we analyzed midterm and final 219 exam papers of 'Calculus I' which was based on the 2009 revised mathematics curriculum and focused on items of 'the Limit of Sequences' which content area is among total 4,632 questions. We investigated how the changed curriculum is reflected in the high school evaluation. Based on the results of the analysis, we confirmed the problems derived from the paper-based assessment. Through this, we sought to draw implications for the educational policy that should be accompanied necessarily in order to stabilize the new curriculum after the revision of the curriculum.

In this thesis the following studies have been tried: 1. To estimate reliability and validity of the items of scholastic achievment tests that had been tested by the evaluation service centers. 2. To smooth the sample frequency distribution of observed scores and to estimate the frequency distribution of observed scores approximating to the Negative Hypergeometric Distribution.

Under the banner "Toward Global Excellence in Teacher Education", Daegu National University of Education has strived for the single aim of excellence in pre-service and in-service for over fifty years. Specially the department of Mathematics education aims to develope students' mathematical power which is related to elementary school mathematical concepts & theories. However not a few of the students seem to have test-anxiety which is relate to teacher recruitment examination. In these view, we conclude that students must have been suffered from test anxiety. Consequently the results of the study are follow. $\cdot$ 2nd paper-pencil test of the elementary school teacher recruitment(2010) has been emphasized on statement of examinee logocal thought about all 10 subjects. $\cdot$ 3rd test of the elementary school teacher recruitment(2010) has been focused on only speaking english of examinee. Thus we conclude that these Recruitment Examination(2010) couldn't minimize the test anxiety of the students. Therefore next test of the elementary school Teacher Recruitment should contain on mathematical problem-solving in elementary school mathematics textbooks.

In the non-face-to-face learning environment forced into effect by the COVID-19 pandemic, online learning is being adopted as a major educational technique. Given the lack of research on how online learning patterns affect academic performance, this study focuses on the number and duration of online video learning sessions as a major factor based on midterm and final exams, and with a formative assessment for each type of learning. The correlation of the learning effects was analyzed. The analysis focused on computer programming subjects, which are among the most difficult liberal arts subjects for arts and science students at the university level. The analysis of cases of actual students showed no correlation among weekly formative assessments, the number of learning sessions, and the learning duration. On the other hand, the number of learning sessions (r=.39 p<0.05) and learning duration (r=.42 p<0.05) were correlated with the midterm and final exams. Elements, such as SMS text, bulletin board, and e-mail, were excluded from the analysis because not all students have access to them. Therefore, the results can be improved if future analysis of the students' learning patterns in a non-face-to-face lecture environment is performed considering more factors/elements and the learners' needs.
