The purpose of the study is to develop an instrument for junior high school mathematics teachers to evaluate their technological pedagogical content knowledge. The survey tool is based on Koehler and Mishra's TPACK framework and strengthened mathematics content knowledge and pedagogical content knowledge in the framework. 526 junior high school mathematics teachers in Taiwan were recruited to validate the survey. Confirmatory factor analysis was applied to examine the validity. The results showed that survey tool reached good validly and reliability. We also explored gender, age, and seniority and other demographic factors to reflect current junior high school mathematics teachers' TPACK in Taiwan.

Using informetrics and citation analysis, the present study explores and compares characteristics and types of citations in the humanity journal articles that published in Taiwan. Research articles published in 2011, from top humanity journals, assessed by the Institute of Humanities and Social Sciences, National Science Council in Taiwan, were collected and analyzed. The analysis was done by structure of journal article and location of citations. In addition to citations appearing in the text, the phenomena of citation type will be compared and discussed in the latter part. The results of this study revealed articles of literature, history, philosophy and arts were mostly argumentative, while linguistic articles tended to comply with IMRAD (Introduction, Methods and Materials, Results, And Discussion) formats. Introducing primary materials from original works, humanity scholars tended to cite for factual descriptions or to support authors’ perspectives. Secondary materials, such as later studies on the original works by other scholars, were seen the most in the disciplines of linguistics while the least in that of history. In general, the distribution of citation types is similar between articles in domestic and foreign journals; merely minor differences occurred among disciplines. While citing characteristics and information needs of humanities scholars revealed in this study may contribute to collection development of libraries or refinement of information services to researchers, suggestions based on analysis of research results may also serve as reference for standardization of writing and publication of journal articles in Taiwan. Aiming at further exploration of citations, this study is expected to provide a better understanding of the nature of citations and to serve as a foundation for future empirical studies.
摘要本研究运用资讯计量学与引文分析法,探讨与比较台湾人文期刊论文的被引特征与类型。本研究收集并分析了2011年发表于顶级人文期刊的研究论文,这些论文由台湾国家科学委员会人文社会科学研究所评估。通过论文结构和引文位置进行分析。除了文中出现的引文外,后一部分还将对引文类型的现象进行比较和讨论。本研究结果显示,文学、历史、哲学和艺术类文章以议论文为主,而语言类文章则倾向于遵循IMRAD (Introduction, Methods and Materials, results, and Discussion)格式。人文学者倾向于引用原著中的主要材料来描述事实或支持作者的观点。第二手材料,如其他学者对原著的后期研究,在语言学学科中最多,而在历史学科中最少。从总体上看,国内外期刊文章的引文类型分布基本相似;各学科之间的差异很小。本研究所揭示的人文学者的特征与资讯需求,对于图书馆的馆藏发展或研究者资讯服务的精细化,亦可为台湾期刊论文写作与出版的规范化提供参考。本研究旨在进一步探索引文的本质,为今后的实证研究奠定基础。

Introduction: Evidence-Based Medicine (EBM) is hurtling towards a cornerstone in lifelong learning for healthcare personnel worldwide. This study aims to evaluate the literature searching anxiety in graduate students in practicing EBM. Method: The study participants were 48 graduate students who enrolled the EBM course at a Medical University in central Taiwan. Student’s t-test, Pearson correlation and multivariate regression, interviewing are used to evaluate the students’ literature searching anxiety of EBM course. The questionnaire is Literature Searching Anxiety Rating Scale, LSARS. Results: The sources of anxiety are uncertainty of database selection, literatures evaluation and selection, technical assistance request, computer programs use, English and EBM education programs were disclosed. The class performance is negatively related to LSARS score, however, the correlation is statistically insignificant with the adjustment of gender, degree program, age category and experience of publication. Conclusion: This study helps in understanding the causes and the extent of anxiety in order to work on a better teaching program planning to improve user’s searching skills and the capability of utilization the information; At the same time, provide friendly-user facilities of evidence searching. In short, we need to upgrade the learner’s searching skills and reduce the anxiety. We also need to stress on the auxiliary teaching program for those with the prevalent and profound anxiety during literature searching.

This study aimed to explore the impact of age and adaptive design on elementary students' reading of e-books. This study was a two-way experimental design where the first factor was learner age (4th and 5th grade) and the second factor was e-book adaptive design (adaptive, non-adaptive visual, non-adaptive verbal). The e-books used in this study targeted six major classes of nutrients as content. This study was guided by the following question: Is there any interaction between age and e-book adaptive design on learning achievement (recall and transfer) and learning motivation (attention, relevance and confidence)? A sample of one hundred 4th and 5th graders participated in the study, and participants were randomly assigned into one of three groups. They were asked to do a pre-test first, and then they read their assigned e-books for twenty minutes. After they finished reading, they were given a post-test. The results showed significant interactions between age and the e-book adaptive design. For the 4th graders, the adaptive e-book group worked best in recall, transfer and attention scores. For the 5th graders, there was no significant difference among these three e-book designs. This revealed that the adaptive design is more critical for younger children. This study hoped to broaden theories on multimedia learning for young learners and serve as a reference for elementary school teachers and e-book designers.
