Nowadays, information and communication technology (ICT) has become an important element in our life. Many organizations have started to appreciate the use of ICT in their organizations in making their business more competitive. Our research aims to propose an ICT-supported knowledge transfer frameworks for the family firms. The framework is meant to assist the family firm in strategizing the knowledge transfer in their firm. In this paper, we focused on the technology evaluation process which involve the evaluation and selection of suitable technologies to support the process of knowledge recall and knowledge transfer in the family firms. Knowledge recall is an important part of knowledge transfer process, a crucial step in the family firms' succession plan. The technology evaluation process consists of five steps which include 1) define functional criteria; 2) identify candidate technology based on the functional criteria; 3) assessment of possible conflicts; 4) selection or rejection of the proposed technology; and 5) evaluation results. The results from the technology evaluation process were mapped with the functional criteria and incorporated in the development of the knowledge transfer framework to help the knowledge transfer process in the family firms to become more successful and efficient.

Student-constructed test (SCT) strategy engages learners in constructing tests around the learned materials, which involves three cognitive tasks, test-planning, question-generation, and testsetting. In addition to the educational benefit of having student generate questions, prior studies substantiated the positive effects SCT strategy on the breadth, depth, interconnectivity, and elaboration of knowledge. Majority of the question-generation research devoted to exploration of enhancing students question generation performance by training and scaffolds. However, few researches investigated how to sustain students' intrinsic motivation and reduce their anxiety during the question-posing process. Furthermore, the benefits of game-based learning were evidenced in numerous empirical research; however, the potential effects of designing a board game centering on question-generation tasks still need to be studied. This study aims to design a serious board game to engage students in reflecting test-construction process. The design-based research method is adopted. Twelve college students won in a series of board game competition were invited to play the game again.

In this paper, a novel recommendation system for students and instructors is introduced utilizing a natural language processing system called Latent Semantic Analysis. This recommendation system allows students to get immediate help via recommendations for further studying which may otherwise cause students to get stuck and not progress further until the next lecture or meeting with an instructor or teaching assistant. This same system can also provide student profiles for instructors to review before meeting with a student. The implementation of system is aimed toward streamlining the process of receiving help, saving time for both students and instructors while encouraging deeper conceptual discussion with the remaining and saved time.

Physical fitness training is just as important as traditional physical education. In terms of the remedial program of physical education, this study offers an important teaching suggestion for people to avoid suffering from obesity. Centering on 1476 freshmen, people with obesity were selected from the unqualified list. Selection criteria were: Male students whose body fat exceeds 25%, with female students whose body fat exceeds 30%. In total, researchers selected 76 students (5.1%) from the unqualified list, 30 male students (39.5%) and 46 female students (60.5%), data was analyzed by adopting the Local Gray Relational Analysis (LGRA). In the case of female freshmen, the results of LGRA between body composition and each fitness sub-test showed that obesity was significantly correlated with muscular endurance and flexibility. Average weight was correlated with muscular endurance and cardiorespiratory endurance, and below average weight was correlated with flexibility and muscular endurance. On the other hand, in the case of male freshmen, the analysis revealed that obesity and average weight were significantly correlated with muscular endurance (LGRA=1 and 1, respectively), and below average weight was significantly correlated with cardiorespiratory endurance, muscular endurance and power (LGRA=1, 0.91734872, and 0.838105731, respectively).The results could mean that different body composition of students have different strengths of fitness components. This combining psychology could specify a feasible strategy on remedial program of fitness.

Respiratory diseases can be found in many countries, particular in a tropical climate country such as Thailand. Generally, the respiratory disease associated with breathing system which is several organs involved such as nose, throat, larynx, bronchial lung etc. The symptoms are consistent with organs; moreover, the nature of the symptoms is very similar. Therefore, inexperienced peoples are difficult to diagnose the symptoms correctly. In this paper, we present an information retrieval system based on the concept of fuzzy logic to be considered vagueness information and uncertainly on text document. The fuzzy logic model applied in a simple way to comprehensive query form to help input uncertainly of users. The diseased content represented as a vector space model; furthermore, cosine similarity technique is used to rank the retrieved results. To experiment, we provide an IR system that work on mentioned model. Moreover, we get query from three type's users that are general peoples, patients and doctors. The results show the average precision around 67 percent, recall 70 percent and F-measure about 70 percent.

Project Based Learning (PBL) is a teaching and learning method in which students actively solve real-world problems and gain knowledge and skills. The teaching experiences, materials, and methods for PBL have diversity and are not shared with universities. We present the Faculty Development (FD) camp for PBL, in order to share them. The FD camp provides the place of discussing the PBL to the participants, in order to solve subjects of PBL. We hold three FD camps with Open Space Technology (OST), which is a simple way to run productive meetings. Evaluations in questionnaires show that most of the participants have good impressions in the FD camp with OST. We mainly learn that the contribution of the FD camp is to build the faculty community.
基于项目的学习(Project Based Learning, PBL)是一种学生主动解决现实问题并获得知识和技能的教学方法。PBL的教学经验、教学材料和教学方法多种多样，且不与高校共享。我们为PBL提供教师发展(FD)阵营，以分享他们。FD营为参与者提供了讨论PBL的场所，以解决PBL的主题。我们用开放空间技术(OST)举办了三个FD营地，这是一种简单的方式来运行富有成效的会议。问卷的评价显示，大多数参与者对有OST的FD阵营有良好的印象。我们主要了解到FD营的贡献是建立教师社区。

The purpose of this paper is to evaluate L2 (second language) learners' proficiency objectively. It was examined to estimate language proficiency using 94 statistics extracted from English conversation data on Japanese English learners' groups in educational institution. To predict Japanese learner's English proficiency represented as Global Rating scores of the Common European Framework of Reference for Languages (CEFR), the statistics were extracted automatically and/or manually, and were classified into 5 subcategories. By using canonical correlation analysis to the subcategories, canonical score, canonical loading and cross loading were calculated, and were analyzed on correlation to the CEFR Global Rating scores. The estimation experiment was carried out using a multiple regression model trained by data set of 135 learners and 12 canonical scores with higher correlation the CEFR Global Rating scores in cross-validation. The correlation score 0.888 was shown between predicted proficiency scores and the L2 learners' actual CEFR Global Rating scores. These results confirmed the usability of the 12 statistics compressed from the total 94 statistics for the objective evaluation of L2 learner's language proficiency.
