The study determined the unidimensionality using Item Response Theory (IRT) also compared the number correct and item pattern scoring methods of Senior School Certificate Examination (SSCE) examinee estimated scores from WAEC and NECO chemistry items in Osun State, Nigeria. This is with the view of providing empirical explanation on the appropriateness of decisions made statistically from examinee scores using classical test and item response theory approaches. The study adopted a descriptive survey design. A sample of 1,105 students was randomly selected from a population of 36,182 students who sat for the 2017/2018 SSCE chemistry paper 1 in Osun State. An adopted version of June/July 2015 NECO (Type 1) and May/June 2015 WAEC (Type 2) SSCE Chemistry (Objective) Paper 1 titled Chemistry Achievement Test (CAT) were utilized for data collection. Data collected were analyzed using STEU implemented in DIMTEST mean, standard deviation, paired sampled t-test, MIRT and equate IRT packages of R language. The results showed that the traits measured by the two groups of items were significantly different from one another (multidimensionality). Also, results showed that IRT (item pattern) scoring method has significant effect on the examinees scores in WCI (t = 13.06, p < 0.05) and NCI (t = 7.667, p < 0.05) than CTT (number correct) scoring method. In conclusion, the study established that there is no statistical equivalence between IRT (item pattern) and CTT (number correct) scoring method on WAEC and NECO chemistry items in Osun State.
本研究运用项目反应理论(IRT)确定了单维性，并比较了尼日利亚奥逊州高中毕业证书考试(SSCE)考生WAEC和NECO化学项目估计分数的正确率和项目模式评分方法。这是为了使用经典测试和项目反应理论方法对从考生分数中做出的统计决策的适当性提供实证解释。本研究采用描述性调查设计。从参加奥松州2017/2018年SSCE化学试卷1的36182名学生中随机抽取了1105名学生。采用2015年6月/ 7月NECO (Type 1)和2015年5月/ 6月WAEC (Type 2) SSCE化学(Objective) Paper 1题为化学成就测试(CAT)的版本进行数据收集。收集的数据使用STEU进行分析，采用R语言的DIMTEST均值、标准差、配对抽样t检验、MIRT和等量IRT包。结果表明，两组项目测量的特征存在显著性差异(多维度)。此外，IRT(项目模式)计分法对WCI (t = 13.06, p < 0.05)和NCI (t = 7.667, p < 0.05)的影响显著高于CTT(数字正确)计分法。综上所述，本研究确定了奥孙州WAEC和NECO化学项目的IRT(项目模式)评分法和CTT(数字正确)评分法在统计上不存在等效性。

The study area of the research consists of 35 8th grade students studying at Alaçam Secondary School in Sakarya, Sapanca district. İn this study, 8 questions were asked to determine the adolescents’ exposure to cyberbullying and the factors affecting this situation. Since the interviews were applied in a computer environment, the data were recorded digitally, then they were converted into written documents and data were analyzed by means of descriptive analysis method. As a result of this research;It is observed that the leading factors affecting the cyberbullying exposure of adolescents are that they do not share this situation with the school administration or teachers in the school environment. The fact that most of the adolescents do not care about the cyberbullying situation they have suffered was indicated as an effective factor. The unconscious use of social media and online gaming sites have also been indicated as a major influence on cyberbullying. In order to prevent adolescents from being exposed to cyberbullying,, it is thought that should inform their families and school administration in any incident and it is necessary to inform them about cyberbullying by the school counselling service.

Article History: Received 11.11.2020 Received in revised form 07.08.2021 Accepted Available online 01.07.2022 Any change or threat in society makes people nervous and causes changes in their behavior . Especially if the change is health related, individuals are more careful and meticulous about protecting themselves and their families. With the Covid-19 pandemic outbreak, individuals began to behave differently; they started to work from home, do all their shopping online and avoid public areas. They started to behave particularly carefully in the case of going to hospitals where there are many other people due to the pandemic. In this study, the opinions of 30 families who had applied to the pediatric emergency service three times or more in the month before the Covid-19 outbreak were analysed after the outbreak. Evaluation of the results shows that 83% of the statements made by the families about protecting their children from diseases and the precautions which they follow when the children become sick clearly showed that staying away from enclosed and crowded environments protects their children from contracting diseases. As a result, during the Covid-19 pandemic, the social distancing policy shows us that the restriction on leaving the house for children under 18 is effective.

Article History: Received 26.05.2021 Received in revised form 16.01.2022 Available online 01.07.2022 This study examined the transformed continuous assessment CA scores of Osun State junior secondary schools with a view to providing information on the procedure for transforming CA scores for better comparability of scores among rural and urban secondary schools. The study adopted the ex-post-facto research design. The population for the study comprised all junior secondary school class III students who had CA scores during 2010/2011 session in both rural and urban secondary schools in Osun State. The sample consisted of 1200 students selected using multistage sampling technique. A proforma titled Continuous Assessment Scores Retrieval was used to collect CA scores of the selected students in English Language and Mathematics. Data collected were analyzed using percentages and Pearson’s Product moment correlation statistics. The results showed that the transformed CA scores of rural and urban secondary schools were above the mean score in Mathematics (62.70%) and English Language (66.0%). The result also showed that there was a significant positive relationship between the transformed CA scores and raw CA scores obtained by students in Mathematics and English Language (r=1.00; p<0.05). The results further showed that there was a significant difference in the transformed CA scores of rural and urban secondary schools in Mathematics (t=5.341; p<0.05) and English Language (t=4.395; p<0.05). Finally, it was observed that Osun State Ministry of Education did not use standardized procedures (transformation models) to transform the raw scores submitted by the schools. The study therefore concluded that transformed CA scores of rural and urban secondary schools in Osun State would be comparable if appropriate transformation models were used.
