Classroom observation instruments are often used to evaluate teachers' instructional practices and provide feedback to inform interventions or research studies, or professional development efforts. While designed as research tools, many classroom observation instruments can provide important information to support teachers' learning and instructional change by providing a focus for formative assessment or self-evaluation of practice. In this paper, we review two classroom observation tools and the protocols for their use with an implementation example for one of the tools. These tools are more foreign to the field compared to others but have features that might serve as affordances in relation to the purposes of a specific investigation.

A lot of educators claim that the open education should be performed in elementary classroom, but it is true that they do not suggest the specific direction of practicing open education in case of mathematics subject. Although a project lesson is recommended, there is little case that suggests the direction of practice and the evaluation method of project lesson. Therefore this study searchs for the possibility of practicing open education in elementary mathematics classroom by reviewing the portfolio assessment and suggesting the specific case of applying the portfolio assessment to project lesson. A portfolio is a folder in which is recording solution process, student's self reflection, and teacher's comment, about topics and problems more than one. Students can see their own varying aspects and recognize their own merits and demerits, sincerities, and potentialities by portfolio assessment. Futheremore, teacher can both grasp the student's cognitive situation and give them the professional advice about the cognitive development. That is, they can perform the instruction underlining the learner's ability and personality, by identifying what Vygotsky calls 'the proximal zone of development' through portfolio assessment. Consequently, portfolio assessment is an alternative evaluation method for integrating process and product of learning, and can be used as an important tool for developing the learner's potential possibility of self-realization.

This study extracts the plan that is suitable to open education through the assessment and analysis of the open education environment. For this, the questionnaire survey of teachers at the elementary school in Kyengsang-bukdo was used. The results of this study can be summarized as follows; 1) In the estimation of satisfaction on the classroom environment for open education, although the score of "Comfortableness" is high, the scores of "Variety", "Convenience", and "Silence" are low in satisfaction. 2) The image on the classroom environment is highly regarded in general in "Stability", "Nobleness" and "Activity". However, it is necessary to devise some methods to improve the image on "Stability", when removing the wall between classrooms and corridors. 3) To improve the satisfaction and image associated with classroom environment, it is important to maintain suitable size of school and density of classroom. 4) The factors of satisfaction and those of image are correlated each other. Thus, to enhance the total image on the open class, it is necessary to improve the whole classroom environment.

The increasing size and complexity of modern construction projects demands mature capabilities of onsite personnel with regard to recognizing unsafe situations. Construction safety training is paper or computer-based and suffers from a distinct gap between the classroom training environment and real-world construction sites; even trained personnel can find it difficult to recognize many of the potential safety hazards at their jobsites even after receiving construction safety training. Immersive technologies can overcome the current limitations in construction safety training by reducing the gap between the classroom and a real construction environment. This research developed and tested a new Augmented Reality (AR)-based assessment tool to evaluate the hazard recognition skills of students majoring in construction management as part of a construction safety course. The quantitative and qualitative results of this research confirmed that AR-based assessment can become a very effective assessment tool to evaluate safety knowledge and skills in a construction safety course, outperforming both paper and computer-based assessment methods. The students preferred AR-based assessment because it provides a realistic visual context for real world safety hazards.

The purpose of this study is to develop authentic assessment model of school mathematics completed an integral part of the classroom in the real situation to do authentic assessment about students's mathematics learning ablity. To do this, it is performed literature researches on authentic assessment system of school mathematics, situation cognition class design model, Lincoln & Guba's the forth generation assessment model, NAEP high ability assessment model, Guliker & Bastiaens & Kirschner's authentic assessment model. And it is extracted authentic assessment elements of school mathematics from them, and it is developed authentic assessment model completed an integral part of the classroom in the real situation. This authentic assessment model of school mathematics is confirmed the proper model in assessing mathematical activities and achievement by applying authentic assessment tasks with class's integrated part, and each factor and phase was regarded as the proper thing in the teaching and learning for experts in studies of mathematical education.

This case study exemplifies science classroom observation and analysis. Data from two-day classroom observation, pre- and post-instruction interviews with the teacher and instructional materials were used to analyse the features of a science classroom. A teacher's classroom practices were examined in terms of the following six categories: (1)curriculum and science content, (2)teaching and learning methods, (3) teacher' s knowledge about learners, (4)classroom environment, (5)assessment, and (6)teacher's efforts for professional development. The teacher in this case study not only improved his own classroom practices, but also took an active role in teachers' in-service education to share his practical knowledge with others. Implications that valid evaluation(or observation) frameworks of classroom practices have on teacher education and teachers' inservice education are also discussed. These evaluation frameworks should provide teachers with a vision of highly accomplished practices.

The purpose of this study is to research the concepts of reading ability and debate ability, and the components of both abilities and to make the performance assessment's standards to apply them to the classroom for reading debate in the school libraries. For doing this, I studied the necessity of reading debate, assessment, and the components of reading/debate abilities. The components of the reading and debate abilities were derived from the theoretical researches and the performance assessment's standards for the reading debate were proposed in the viewpoint of the teacher librarians and classroom teachers in the school libraries in order that the teacher librarians and teachers could apply them to the reading debate classes and assess the performance achievement of the students.

We developed a web-based virtual laboratory system for electronic circuit experiments on the client/ server distributed environment. Through our virtual laboratory, the learners will be capable of learning the concepts and theories related to electronic circuit experiments and how to operate the experimental equipments such as multimeters, function generators, digital oscilloscopes and DC power suppliers. The proposed virtual laboratory system is composed of four important components: Principle Classroom to explain the concepts and theories of electronic circuit operations, Virtual Experiment Classroom to provide interactive multimedia contents about the syllabus of off-line laboratory class, Assessment Classroom, and Management System. With the aid of the Management System every classroom is organically tied together collaborating to achieve maximum learning efficiency. We have obtained several affirmative effects such as high learning standard, reducing the total experimental hours and the damage rate for experimental equipments.

The Assessment using the observation is one of the common ways to know what the student knows and dose not. Using the obserbational Assessment, Teachers, analyzing student's growth, provide appropriate feed-back, and so they try to record every activities. but, accumulatively recording the result of observational assessment face time·spacial limits. and it is difficult to apply in a real classroom situation. Taking these into consideration, I'd like to take a look at the idea of check-list assessment that could record data observing student and contrive a practical ways of application.
