Context: Athletic taping skills are highly valued clinical competencies in the athletic therapy and training profession. The Technical Skill Assessment Instrument (TSAI) has been content validated and tested for intrarater reliability. Objective: To test the reliability of the TSAI using a more robust measure of reliability, generalizability theory, and to hypothetically and mathematically project the optimal number of raters and scenarios to reliably measure athletic taping skills in the future. Setting: Mount Royal University. Design: Observational study. Patients or Other Participants: A total of 29 university students (8 men, 21 women; age = 20.79 ± 1.59 years) from the Athletic Therapy Program at Mount Royal University. Intervention(s): Participants were allowed 10 minutes per scenario to complete prophylactic taping for a standardized patient presenting with (1) a 4-week-old second-degree ankle sprain and (2) a thumb that had been hyperextended. Two raters judged student performance using the TSAI. Main Outcome Measure(s): Generalizability coefficients were calculated using variance scores for raters, participants, and scenarios. A decision study was calculated to project the optimal number of raters and scenarios to achieve acceptable levels of reliability. Generalizability coefficients were interpreted the same as other reliability coefficients, with 0 indicating no reliability and 1.0 indicating perfect reliability. Results: The result of our study design (2 raters, 1 standardized patient, 2 scenarios) was a generalizability coefficient of 0.67. Decision study projects indicated that 4 scenarios were necessary to reliably measure athletic taping skills. Conclusions: We found moderate reliability coefficients. Researchers should include more scenarios to reliably measure athletic taping skills. They should also focus on the development of evidence-based practice guidelines and standards of athletic taping and should test those standards using a psychometrically sound instrument, such as the TSAI.

This study was designed to investigate the reliability of individual and composite scores obtained with the Objectives-Based Motor Skill Assessment Instrument. Generalizability theory was used to determine if the test scores were reliable across raters and occasions. Two D studies were conducted to ascertain whether an increase in the number of raters from 10 to 20 would increase the reliability. Twenty raters were required to evaluate the fundamental motor skills of 10 subjects across two occasions from videotapes. In 92% of the individual skill scores, the between-subject variance component contributed the most to total variance. Therefore, it can be concluded that the test is extremely reliable across raters and occasions. Examination of the generalizability coefficients for the two D studies indicates that the reliability is not largely affected by increasing the number of raters.

This research aims to develop instruments for assessing lower and upper service engineering skills in volleyball games for 6th-grade students in elementary schools. This research uses research and development methods, with the following development steps: (1) information gathering in the field, (2) analyze the information collected, (3) developing initial products, (4) expert validation and revision, (5) small-scale trials and revisions, (6) large-scale trials and revisions, (7) manufacturing of final products. The subject of this research is 6th-grade students of elementary students. Data analysis for the validity test was carried out with CVR (content validity ratio) and reliability using Alpha Cronbach. This research resulted in a handbook of instrument assessment tools for service techniques of lower and upper service in volleyball games for 6th-grade elementary school students, which contained instructions for use, student assignments sheets, assessment guidelines, assessment rubrics, and scoring tables, which have high validity. (1) And under service reliability initial attitude: r = 0.975, implementation: r = 0.961, follow-up motion: r = 0, 955. Upper Service for initial attitude: r = 0.961, implementation: r = 0.974, follow-up motion: r = 0.989.

This aims of this research is to develop and produce assessment  scientific communication skills instruments in physics learning of X grade senior high school is valid so it can be used to measure the scientific communication skills possessed and controlled by the students.This research is development of research use 4D model. This research is done through 4 stages, which are (1) analysis stage, (2) planning stage, (3) development stage, and (4) spread stage.This instrument assessment contains a descriptiontheory,concept definition, operationaldefinition, the latice instrument assessment scientific communication skill, assessment sheets of scientific communication skill, rubric assessment,scoring, and recapitulation score of scientific communication skill than have been validated by experts and tested.From the results of expert validation obtained an average 75,55% percentage which show the criteria of scientific communication skill assessment instrument is very valid. This instrument is tried of 32 students of class X MIA 1 in SMA N 3 Demak and done by conducted by 1 physics teacher. The results of trial shown that percentage of products developed base on response obtained average percentage of 88,83% with very valid criteria. While, the result of validity analysis show that there are 4 (9,3%) item statement is not valid because rxy <0,35, whereas 39 (90,7%) Other statement items are valid with rxy> 0,35. Invalid statements include item number 24, 29, 36, and 43. In the reliability analysis obtain value result rcritic = 0,84432, while rtable = 0,35. From the analysis of the reliability values obtained rcritic > rtable it can be concluded that the assessment instruments already reliable scientific communication skills.

As a prospective teacher, students need to be trained in basic teaching skills before doing Field Experience Practice (PPL). Therefore, it is necessary to conduct research on the level of mastery of basic skills of teaching students. The purpose of this study is to know the basic skills of teaching students, the subjects of Biology Learning Process Practice, Biology Education Study Program, Teacher Training and Education Faculty, Widya Mandira Catholic University, Academic Year 2016/2017. This research is a quantitative descriptive research. The instrument used is the basic teaching skill assessment instrument. Data were collected by observation method and analyzed by descriptive quantitative. The results showed that the average ability to open the learning and attitude in the learning process is very good, with the value of each 3,625 and 3,675; Mastery of teaching materials and learning process is quite good with the value of each 3,475 and 3,575. While the evaluation aspect is quite good with the value of 3,5375 and the ability to close learning is good with a value of 3.4.

Recent literature indicates that an increasing number of individuals with mental retardation problems are involved in various processes for community reintegration as defined by movement to less restrictive (more normal) programming environments. To facilitate this process, a three phase behavior assessment and prescription system is proposed. This system is designed to monitor the specific functioning levels of persons with mental retardation problems. At the screening (pre-selection) level, a skill assessment instrument has been formatively validated which provides basic data from obtaining specific levels of skill functioning in several behavioral categories. This data means individual persons can be identified as to their profiting from available institution/ community celeration programs and provides information for new programs needed to further reintegration efforts. At the programming (pre-selection) level, a detailed skill assessment instrument has been developed. This more intense behavioral observation assessment is used to determine individual entry levels into specific celeration programs and to monitor skill acquisition as a function of the teaching. At the community entry (pre-release) level, a skill assessment instrument is conceptualized which will identify those skills that translate into necessary prerequisites for various community living alternatives. At each level reliability, validity, time efficiency, and direct relevance to least restrictive environmental programming is emphasized, with the highest level of living with human dignity as the goal.
