“…Our evaluation scheme can be categorized as a combination of summative and formative assessments. The summative evaluation [ 66 ] focuses on measuring the performance of the developed system and its components using numerical metrics after their implementation, while the formative evaluation [ 66 ] aims to provide a deeper understanding of the NLP models, their effectiveness and identify areas for potential improvement through an examination of the output during the development process.…”

Background Substance use, including the non-medical use of prescription medications, is a global health problem resulting in hundreds of thousands of overdose deaths and other health problems. Social media has emerged as a potent source of information for studying substance use-related behaviours and their consequences. Mining large-scale social media data on the topic requires the development of natural language processing (NLP) and machine learning frameworks customized for this problem. Our objective in this research is to develop a framework for conducting a content analysis of Twitter chatter about the non-medical use of a set of prescription medications. Methods We collected Twitter data for four medications—fentanyl and morphine (opioids), alprazolam (benzodiazepine), and Adderall® (stimulant), and identified posts that indicated non-medical use using an automatic machine learning classifier. In our NLP framework, we applied supervised named entity recognition (NER) to identify other substances mentioned, symptoms, and adverse events. We applied unsupervised topic modelling to identify latent topics associated with the chatter for each medication. Results The quantitative analysis demonstrated the performance of the proposed NER approach in identifying substance-related entities from data with a high degree of accuracy compared to the baseline methods. The performance evaluation of the topic modelling was also notable. The qualitative analysis revealed knowledge about the use, non-medical use, and side effects of these medications in individuals and communities. Conclusions NLP-based analyses of Twitter chatter associated with prescription medications belonging to different categories provide multi-faceted insights about their use and consequences. Our developed framework can be applied to chatter about other substances. Further research can validate the predictive value of this information on the prevention, assessment, and management of these disorders.

Scholarships have been playing an important role in higher education because of its positive incentives. As the essential element of scholarships, scholarships evaluation has a direct influence on the effect of scholarships. Educational workers have worked on improving scholarships evaluation for function maximization, and they have gained theoretical and practical achievements. Built on related studies, the paper is to briefly introduce the current situation of scholarships in Chinese colleges from three aspects: purpose, program and process, to describe three obvious difficulties scholarships evaluation having faced: Matthew effect caused by changeless criteria, unfairness in reviewing non-academic criteria, and the dominance of summative assessment, and to relate three corresponding strategies educational workers have put forward: making Catfish effect by establishing dynamic evaluation system, increasing fairness by quantitating non-academic criteria, and weakening the dominance of summative assessment by introducing foreign educational assessment theories. It is worth to further explore how to gain better balance between achieve effectiveness and demonstrate practicality.

“…Formative assessment aims to continuously check students' understanding in the process of educational activities and to improve teaching with learning-supportive feedback. This approach has been included in the art education literature for a long time as a process or pre-assessment (Beattie, 1997;Hurwitz and Day, 1995;Wilson, 1971;Zimmerman, 1997).…”

Hence, in this study, the characteristics, scope, application, and evaluation of alternative assessment techniques of Game-Oriented Learning, Peer Assessment, and Collaborative Learning in evaluating the artistic learning of the photography student are emphasized. Thus, it is thought that it will provide a new perspective to art teachers in determining real learning situations and deficiencies in the photography department as well as in the visual arts education.
