“…Behaviorists view the conditioning of the learning environment as influencing the process and learning outcomes. Learning condition using a learning kit as a stimulus is closely related to the three propositions presented by Thorndike, namely the law of readiness, the law of exercise, and the law of effect (Brown & Feder, 1934;Proger et al, 1971). By using a learning kit, both teachers and students become more prepared in learning because teachers and students understand the direction of learning.…”

Curriculum and the pandemic require teachers to teach poetry text using e-learning kits that allow the use of technology. Virtual face-to-face Learning kits prepared by teachers must be reconstructed according to the conditions of students in e-learning. However, practical and effective learning kit needs to be studied further. Thus, this study aimed at developing an e-learning oriented poetry text learning kit that was practical and effective in Indonesian language learning. The subjects of this study were teachers and the tenth-grade students. Observation, questionnaire, and test methods were used to obtain data. The results by the teacher and students showed that the learning kit made was very practical. Effective learning kits are used in learning. There is a significant difference between learning outcomes in the experimental and control groups. The average value of the experimental class was 83, which was higher than the control class, which only reached an average grade of 74. The poetry text learning kit was oriented towards practical e-learning strategies and is effectively used in learning as an alternative to online learning.

“…Therefore, researchers have developed a number of IQ tests that can be administered to large groups of people at once. Because of cost effectiveness, group tests such as the Otis-Lennon School Ability Test and the Lorge-Thorndike Intelligence Test enjoy wide usage at all educational levels (Proger et al, 1971).…”

This study aims to assess the suitability of students in Bachelor of Science in Statistics program. Seemingly, several students who enrolled in the said program does not possess the qualities of being mathematically inclined. Hence, this study was conducted. By complete enumeration, the study employed all BSS students from different year level. Secondary data were used such as two psychological tests from the University Student Services Office which measures the intelligence and numerical aptitude. A primary data was also employed through an instrument called Brainard Occupational Preference Inventory which measures the interest of students in the field of statistics. The gathered data were then analyzed with the aid of some descriptive measures and correlational methods. Results revealed that there are only a few (11.9%) who have high levels of intelligence and numerical aptitude but they happen to have low level of interest in statistics. Of those students highly interested (47.6%) in the field of statistics one-fourth (11.9%) of them have low levels of intelligence and numerical aptitude. It is found out that there is a significant linear relationship between intelligence and numerical aptitude among BSS students. Moreover, intelligence and interest in statistics is inversely and significantly correlated among BSS junior students. Furthermore, results showed that there is no significant linear relationship between numerical aptitude and interest in statistics across year level. Hence, the interest of the BSS students must be cultivated in order to increase their level of achievement.

To determine the relation of socioeconomic and scholastic aptitude variants to academic achievement, data were collected from 332 elementary students in a small midwestern city. Independent variables included group aptitude test scores from third grade and fifth grade admini strations, sex of subject, family socioeconomic status (SES) based on parental occupation, and school of attendance (Title I versus Nontitle I). Dependent variables included group achievement test scores from third and fifth grade administrations and teacher grades for Reading and Math at fifth grade. Group aptitude indices included total apti tude scores and the difference between verbal and nonverbal aptitude scores. The study was designed to examine: (a) whether achievement patterns were the same for males and females when different levels of SES, total aptitude, and differences between verbal and nonverbal aptitude were considered; (b) whether similar results would be found at third and fifth grades and across various achievement measures (i.e., achievement subtests and teacher grades at fifth grade; and (c) whether SES distinctions based on family characteristics versus more general sociological characteristics (i.e., school of attendance) pro vided similar information about a student's probable level of academic achievement. In general, the data support achievement differences between males and females based on the interaction between total aptitude and verbal-nonverbal discrepancies. The contrast between high verbal and high nonverbal students was most pronounced for females with low V to average total aptitude scores at third grade and for low total apti tude females again at fifth grade. A moderate degree of similarity was found between third and fifth grade results. Little similarity was found between achievement test performance and teacher grades at fifth grade. The variables of SES, school, total aptitude, and difference score accounted for approximately twice the variance in Reading Total and Math Total as in Reading Grade and Math Grade. The measurement of achievement based on SES and school were similar; with total aptitude partial led out, there was a differential effect by sex. Females were more sensitive to quality of school while males were more sensitive to quality of home.
