During the past decades, technological resources have been improved to support the teaching of mathematics. While the improvement of technological resources, the World Wide Web provides teachers and students many resources that engage students in rich mathematics experiences. There are a vast number of educational resources available through the Internet for students and teachers, which should be implemented in the classroom to support and improve algebra instructions. This study seeks to identify the extent of the middle school teacher’s awareness of using the Internet to teach and develop students’ learning of algebra. The participant’s teachers in this study are teaching in schools located in a rural Appalachian region of a Midwestern state in the United States.  The study found that the Internet’s function in the algebra classroom within this particular group of middle childhood teachers are used for purposes that do not contribute to algebra instruction.
在过去的几十年里,技术资源得到了改善,以支持数学教学。在提高技术资源的同时,万维网为教师和学生提供了许多资源,使学生参与丰富的数学体验。通过互联网,学生和教师可以获得大量的教育资源,这些资源应该在课堂上实施,以支持和改进代数教学。本研究旨在了解中学教师使用网际网路教导及发展学生代数学习的意识程度。在这项研究中,参与者的老师在位于美国中西部州阿巴拉契亚农村地区的学校任教。研究发现,互联网在代数课堂上的作用,在这一特殊的幼儿教师群体中,被用于对代数教学没有贡献的目的。

Selection Determinants in Education Major Graduates Occupations. 教育专业毕业生职业选择的决定因素。
Pub Date : 2017-03-31 DOI: 10.19030/CIER.V10I2.9913
Wei-Ting Huang, H. Ho
Taiwan’s teacher training system currently faces a serious disorder. The excessive number of teacher education programs being set up in universities by the Ministry of Education has dramatically increased the number of teachers. The situation, coupled with the country of low birth rate and high retirement age, brings about fewer teaching vacancies than the number of available teachers. The over-expansion of universities has resulted in a situation that almost every secondary school graduate can access higher education institutions, which subsequently produce a great number of graduates, far exceeding the vacancies in the workplace. This plus with the recent economic recession intensifies competition among individuals hunting for jobs. Thus, it is imperative to identify the ideal jobs for graduates, and the first step is figuring out the main determinants for selecting jobs and the relative importance of these determinants. A self-developed questionnaire was administered to 200 education major graduates in Taiwan. The result indicated that high job stability was perceived to be the most important factor among participants. Also, the education students considered school teacher or administrator to be the ideal jobs.
台湾的教师培训体系目前面临着严重的混乱。教育部在大学里设立的过多的教师教育项目使得教师数量急剧增加。这种情况,再加上国家的低出生率和高退休年龄,导致教师空缺少于可用教师的数量。大学的过度扩张造成了这样一种情况:几乎每一个中学毕业生都可以进入高等教育机构,高等教育机构随后产生了大量的毕业生,远远超过了工作场所的空缺。加上最近的经济衰退,这加剧了个人求职的竞争。因此,确定毕业生的理想工作是势在必行的,第一步是找出选择工作的主要决定因素以及这些决定因素的相对重要性。采用自行设计的问卷,对200名台湾教育专业毕业生进行问卷调查。结果显示,受访者认为工作的稳定性是最重要的因素。此外,教育学生认为学校教师或行政人员是理想的工作。

In the 21 st Century, Educators are called to thinking in broader terms about the purpose of technology in engaging learners to work on tasks that are meaningful to them. Through technology, as described in this paper, the researcher has attempted to broaden student engagement level by developing a more engaging online game framework. The research attempted to increase engagement by modifying a less goal oriented maze game into a sporting challenge called Downhill Skier. In creating simulation software for the individual sport of downhill skiing, the Downhill Skier app was developed using the elm programming language. Since Elm is a relatively easy programming language to learn, Elm code can be modified and shaped to ones intended purpose. Using the EGameFlow Survey, an instrument that has been tested for internal and external validity, the research demonstrated that engagement levels were increased, in seven of the eight categories that EGameFlow measures, by changing the nature of the game from a maze walk through into an e-sport challenge.
在21世纪,教育工作者被要求从更广泛的角度思考技术在吸引学习者从事对他们有意义的任务方面的目的。正如本文所描述的,通过技术,研究者试图通过开发一个更具吸引力的在线游戏框架来扩大学生的参与水平。该研究试图通过将目标导向较低的迷宫游戏修改为一种名为“下坡滑雪”的运动挑战来增加用户粘性。在为个人速降滑雪运动创建模拟软件时,速降滑雪应用程序是使用elm编程语言开发的。由于Elm是一种相对容易学习的编程语言,因此Elm代码可以根据预期目的进行修改和塑造。通过使用EGameFlow调查(一种经过内部和外部有效性测试的工具),该研究表明,通过将游戏的性质从迷宫式转变为电子竞技挑战,在EGameFlow测量的8个类别中,有7个类别的用户粘性水平得到了提高。

A regional University in the United States implemented an AQIP (Academic Quality Improvement Program) Action Project with a goal of developing processes for effective leadership communication. An MBA (Masters of Business Administration) class conducted a university-wide communication audit to assist with the AQIP project. Quantitative and qualitative data were collected, analysed and presented to the AQIP Task Force. The audit was a win-win opportunity for the students and broader university community. University leadership learned about communication strengths and opportunities within the organization and received recommendations on ways to strengthen communication in the areas of communication channels, information flow, and feedback. As a result, the Task Force implemented tools and processes to enhance communication within the University. The audit also provided MBA students with an opportunity to connect classroom theory with workplace practice. As a result of this service-learning project, students acquired knowledge about organizational communication, worked collaboratively with University employees and practiced communication skills as they developed and defended decisions and recommendations.

Exploring Strategies That Influence Children’s Physical Activity Self-Efficacy 影响儿童体育活动自我效能感的策略探讨
Pub Date : 2017-03-31 DOI: 10.19030/CIER.V10I2.9919

Insufficient physical activity during the elementary school years has been associated with a number of health problems (Strong et al., 2006).  During the school day, the recess period provides the greatest opportunity for children to engage in physical activity (Robert Wood Johnson, 2007). Nonetheless, most children spend the majority of their recess time in active.  One strategy for increased physical activity during recess is to develop related interventions that reinforce physical activity from the school itself.  While some research studies have identified modifiable factors, research suggests that a greater level of physical activity self-efficacy is the strongest predictor of increased physical activity among elementary-aged children (Coakley, & White, 1992; Mulvihill, Rivers, & Aggleton, 2000; Trost, Pate, Saunders, Ward, Dowda, & Felton, 1997; Trost, 1999; Zakarian et al., 1994).  Research suggests that strong influences on this age group include a teacher’s encouragement and competent adult modeling (Chase 1995, Lirgg & Feltz, 1991; Trost et al. 2003). The purpose of this study is to compare whether a teacher’s encouragement alone and modeling by a competent adult alone influence children’s recess time physical activity self-efficacy. In our study, this construct is measured through barrier self-efficacy (adult encouragement and other) and task self-efficacy (light, moderate, and vigorous). One hundred sixty-one students were assigned randomly to one of three groups: 1) modeling 2) encouragement, and 3) comparison. We collected pretreatment and posttreatment self-efficacy data as well. There was no significant interaction between the treatment and gender on self-efficacy. However, there was a significant main effect detected for treatment on adult encouragement barrier self-efficacy.  Findings suggest that when teachers encourage children to be active, they may internalize the encouragement and become less dependent on external sources of encouragement to motivate them to be active during recess.
小学期间身体活动不足与许多健康问题有关(Strong等人,2006年)。在上学期间,休息时间为孩子们提供了参加体育活动的最大机会(Robert Wood Johnson, 2007)。然而,大多数孩子花大部分的休息时间在活动。在课间休息期间增加体育活动的一个策略是开发相关的干预措施,从学校本身加强体育活动。虽然一些研究已经确定了可改变的因素,但研究表明,较高水平的体育活动自我效能感是小学年龄儿童体育活动增加的最强预测因子(Coakley, & White, 1992;Mulvihill, Rivers, & Aggleton, 2000;特罗斯特,佩特,桑德斯,沃德,道达,费尔顿,1997;Trost, 1999;Zakarian et al., 1994)。研究表明,对这一年龄组的强烈影响包括教师的鼓励和称职的成人榜样(Chase 1995; riggg & Feltz, 1991;Trost et al. 2003)。本研究的目的是比较教师单独的鼓励和有能力的成人单独的示范是否影响儿童的休息时间体育活动自我效能感。在我们的研究中,这种结构通过障碍自我效能(成人鼓励和其他)和任务自我效能(轻度、中度和强烈)来衡量。161名学生被随机分为三组:1)建模、2)鼓励、3)比较。我们还收集了治疗前和治疗后的自我效能感数据。治疗与性别对自我效能感无显著交互作用。然而,治疗对成人鼓励障碍自我效能有显著的主效应。研究结果表明,当教师鼓励孩子们积极活动时,他们可能会内化这种鼓励,从而减少对外部鼓励来源的依赖,以激励他们在休息期间积极活动。

The main focus of this study was the assessment performed by recent alumni as an important component of online degree program outcomes assessment. A model of components of the online learning environment was developed and tested to predictive various levels of educational outcomes of online degree programs separately for bachelor and master degree programs' alumni. The educational outcomes include direct educational outcomes and attributed educational outcomes. The model was then validated in predicting summative outcomes assessment. The model played an important role in understanding degree program's online educational outcomes and its predictive validity across all outcomes and degree levels is very high. The alum assessment of the quality of the learning model was found to be the most dominant predictor of educational outcomes for all assessment criteria and for all levels of degree programs. Finally, the explanations and implications of these findings were discussed.

The alum assessment of the quality of the learning model was found to be the most dominant predictor of educational outcomes for all assessment criteria and for all levels of degree programs. Finally, the explanations and implications of these findings were discussed.","PeriodicalId":91062,"journal":{"name":"Contemporary issues in education research (Littleton, Colo.)","volume":"32 1","pages":"67-76"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2017-01-24","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"85951160","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Ross A. Malaga, Nicole Koppel
The use of video to deliver content to students online has become increasingly popular.  However, educators are often plagued with the question of which format to use to deliver asynchronous video material.  Whether it is a College or University committing to a common video format or an individual instructor selecting the method that works best for his or her course, this research presents a comparison of various video formats that can be applied to online education and provides guidance in which one to select.
使用视频向学生在线传递内容已经变得越来越流行。然而,教育者经常被使用哪种格式来传送异步视频材料的问题所困扰。无论是学院或大学采用通用的视频格式,还是个别教师选择最适合他或她的课程的方法,本研究都对可应用于在线教育的各种视频格式进行了比较,并提供了选择哪种视频格式的指导。
