The Internet penetrates deeply into the everyday life due to the availability of broadband networks and mobile devices. The widespread of the Internet, along with the development of innovative services, social networking, and tools （known as Web 2.0）, gives rise to the phenomenon of the digital world. A university striving not to be ＂an ivory tower＂ should meet the needs of the ＂Net Generation＂, prepare the graduates for professional work and life in the digital world and comply with the social demand for providing lifelong learning services, especially, in the vulnerable crisis times. MESI （Moscow State University of Economics, Statistics, and lnformatics） started implementing ICTs （information and communication technologies） both in the academic and administrative processes more than 15 years ago. Today, its unified e-learning environment allows rendering educational services to students of all levels and forms （both on-campus and off-campus） and 24 × 7 × 365 support （24 hours-7 days in a week-365 days in a year）. Information system for administration comprises electronic document management systems, students＇ records, and the results of their individual learning activities for the current, interim, and final assessment. The university management system empowers centralized management of its Moscow headquarters and branches, as well as regulation of teaching/learning process. Long-term development of education in Russia is directly dependent on large-scale introduction of e-learning tools, design and implementation of new methods of organization of educational process on its base, creating and using an appropriate electronic teaching and learning practices, and new approaches to the management of the education system and educational institutions. 相似文献

The transformative use of ICT （information and communication technology） in the educational setting is demanding continually assessing bottlenecks and conducive conditions with the aim of consolidating the pre-conditions and to dry the drawbacks from their root. As a result, this qualitative research approach employed to explore enablers and barriers of using ICT in initial teacher preparation in the context of JU （Jimma University）, Ethiopia. The study employed in-depth interviews with student teachers and teacher educators. Participants＇ perception of ICT as a vehicle for quality learning and multiple access to ICT use pointed as supportive conditions. Whereas, mismatch of methodologies being used in teacher education and schools, resource constraints, marginalizing teacher education program, unsuccessful experience of learning via ICT, and lack of clear directive and expertise on the use of ICT were some of the major issues forwarded by the participants. Redesigning of the teacher education program in the way of using ICT is clearly indicated, the system that forces and reinforces the use of ICT in place is among the recommendations forwarded. 相似文献

We designed and used a series of activities （named activities to teaching electric field （ATEF）） based on the Physics by Inquiry （PBI） strategy to teaching the electric field concept with university students. We used a concentration factor tool to assess the effectiveness of those activities used during three weeks of instruction. Results indicate that students who had traditional teaching obtained a very tiny gain （less than 1%）; concentration factors indicate that most of their responses fall into a random area, which is not favorable. On the other hand, the experimental group using our activities had greater gains （〉 10%） than the control group. Concentration factors showed that after instruction, students＇ mental models changed toward a favorable pattern about comprehension of electric field concept and Coulomb＇s law. A hypothesis test of two samples indicated that there is a significant difference between both traditional teaching and ATEF based on PBI. 相似文献

L2 （second language） writing teaching and research is greatly influenced by the advent of computer technology. This paper reviews papers, in the field of DDL （data-driven learning） in L2 writing, published in international journals and in Chinese journals, and differences are found in research methodology, research perspective, and research realm. Based on the analysis of the differences, the study aims at finding out the effects of the application of DDL in L2 teaching classroom. The present study, employing semi-structured writing and learning journals, explores how English learners perceive the use of corpora in their writing process. Based on the statistics, it is concluded that DDL in L2 writing is beneficial for vocabulary acquisition. However, corpus consultation does not work well for all learners. Learners＇ attitudes toward the use of corpus are various. The major findings may find application in teaching practice, and implications for teaching are discussed. 相似文献

Abstract The compliance of an integrated approach, principal component analysis （PCA）, coupled with Tagu chi＇s robust theory for simultaneous optimization of cor related multiple responses of wire electrical discharge machining （WEDM） process for machining SiCp rein forced ZC63 metal matrix composites （MMCs） is investi gated in this work. The WEDM is proven better for its efficiency to machine MMCs among others, while the particulate size and volume percentage of SiCp with the composite are the utmost important factors. These improve the mechanical properties enormously, however reduce the machining performance. Hence the WEDM experiments are conducted by varying the particulate size, volume fraction, pulseon time, pulseoff time and wire tension. In the view of quality cut, the most important performance indicators of WEDM as surface roughness （Ra）, metal removal rate （MRR）, wire wear ratio （WWR）, kerf （Kw） and white layer thickness （WLT） are measured as respon ses. PCA is used as multiresponse optimization technique to derive the composite principal component （CPC） which acts as the overall quality index in the process. Consequently, Taguchi＇s S/N ratio analysis is applied to optimize the CPC. The derived optimal process responses are confirmed by the experimental validation tests results. The analysis of vari ance is conducted to find the effects of choosing process variables on the overall quality of the machined component.The practical possibility of the derived optimal process conditions is also presented using SEM. 相似文献

Effective assessment is vital in educational activities. We propose IWAS （intelligent Web-based assessment system）, an intelligent, generalized and real-time system to assess both learning and teaching. IWAS provides a foundation for more efficiency in instructional activities and, ultimately, students＇ performances. Our contributions are summarized as （1） Given the causes （student knowledge levels and learning styles）, BN （Bayesian Networks） technique is utilized to automatically reason on the probabilities of the presence of the effects （learning outcomes）; （2） The absence of teaching practice assessments is addressed via the feedbacks from three different levels, aiming to correlate the teaching assessment with the learning assessments for the improved effectiveness in instructional activities; （3） Under a client/server architecture, IWAS is decomposed into a set of independent modules; through the standard inter-module interfaces, the flexibility of easy maintenance makes IWAS a generalized system adaptable to different domains; and （4） Web technologies are integrated to deliver the formative feedbacks to users in a timely manner 相似文献

Hermetic packaging is often an essential requirement to enable proper functionality throughout the device＇s lifetime and ensure the optimal performance of a micro electronic mechanical system （MEMS） device. Solid-liquid interdiffusion （SLID） bonding is a novel and attractive way to encapsulate MEMS devices at a wafer level. SLID bonding utilizes a low-melting-point metal to reduce the bonding process temperature; and metallic seal rings take out less of the valuable surface area and have a lower gas permeability compared to polymer or glass- based sealing materials. In addition, ductile metals can adopt mechanical and thermo-mechanical stresses during their service lifetime, which improves their reliability. In this study, the principles of Au-Sn and Cu-Sn SLID bonding are presented, which are meant to be used for wafer-level hermetic sealing of MEMS resonators. Seal rings in 15.24 cm silicon wafers were bonded at a width of 60 gin, electroplated, and used with Au-Sn and Cu-Sn layer structures. The wafer bonding temperature varied between 300 ℃ and 350 ℃, and the bonding force was 3.5 kN under the ambient pressure, that is, it was less than 0.1 Pa. A shear test was used to compare the mechanical properties of the interconnections between both material systems, in addition, important factors pertaining to bond ring design are discussed according to their effects on the failure mechanisms. The results show that the design ofmetal structures can significantly affect the reliability of bond rings. 相似文献

There are many studies that focus on factors affecting achievement. However, there is limited research that used student characteristics indices reported by the Programme for International Student Assessment （PISA）. Therefore, this study investigated the predictive effects of student characteristics on mathematics performance of Turkish students. In PISA studies, sampling design, sampling weights, and plausible values have to be taken into consideration in order not to have biased multiple regression results. In order to conduct multiple regression analyses in PISA, software called the International Association for the Evaluation of Educational Achievement （lEA） International Database （IDB） Analyzer is required to be used because the dependent variable consists of several plausible values. This study aims to identify student characteristics that are significant in predicting mathematics performance in Turkey. Results showed that being successful in mathematics is a combination of several factors in which students＇ beliefs, motivation, and other factors must be organized to achieve mathematics. Among these beliefs and motivation, strong self-efficacy, positive self-concept, and minimum level of anxiety seem to be the key for success. 相似文献

The research questions being asked are： 1. How do architectural students learn with mobile technology？ and 2. What predictors lead to satisfaction in a mobile learning （M-Learning） environment？ It is understood that environment and culture contribute to the development of cognition. Critical pedagogical and constructivist theories ground this research with the view that ＂one learns from their experiences with their environments＂. The methodology used in this research includes both quantitative and qualitative methods： case studies and surveys. This research investigates how mobile technology is influencing learning. Outcomes of this research include a better understanding of how students learn with present technology, their preferred mobile devices, barriers to M-Learning, methods by which students learn best, and suggestions on how to improve M-Learning. Other outcomes of this research are the identification of variables leading to student satisfaction with M-Learning. 相似文献

Fabrication method and device of ultra-small gradient-index （GRIN） fiber probe were investigated in order to explore the development of ultra-small probes for optical coherence tomography （OCT） imaging. The beam- expanding effect of no-core fiber （NCF） and the focusing properties of the GRIN fiber lens were analyzed based on the model of GRIN fiber probe consisting of single-mode fiber （SMF）, NCF and GRIN fiber lens. A stereo micro- scope based system was developed to fabricate the GRIN fiber probe. A fiber fusion splicer and an ultrasonic cleaver were used to weld and cut the fiber respectively. A con- focal microscopy was used to measure the dimensions of probe components. The results show that the sizes of probe components developed are at the level of millimeter. Therefore, the proposed experimental system meets the fabrication requirements of an ultra-small self-focusing GRIN fiber probe. This shows that this fabrication device and method can be employed in the fabrication of ultra- small self-focusing GRIN fiber probe and applied in the study of miniaturized optical probes and OCT systems. 相似文献

This paper presented an automatic gain control(AGC) circuit suitable for FM/cw ladar. The proposed architecture was based on two-stage variable gain amplifier(VGA) chain with a novel DC offset canceller circuit, which contained an improved Gilbert cell and a Gm-C feedback loop. To keep the VGA with a linearity in dB characteristic, an improved exponential gain control circuit was introduced. The AGC was implemented in 0.18 μm standard CMOS process. Simulation and measurement results verified that its gain ranged from-20 dB to 30 dB, and bandwidth ranged from 100 kHz to 10 MHz. Its power consumption was 19.8 mW under a voltage supply of 3.3 V. 相似文献

In this study, we examined the likelihood of a TAME （extended technology acceptance model）, in which the interrelationships among computer self-efficacy, perceived usefulness, intention to use and self-reported use of computer-mediated technology were tested. In addition, the gender- and age-invariant of its causal structure were evaluated. The data were collected from a self-reported questionnaire administered to 477 administrative staff of a public university in Malaysia. The results of structural equation modeling supported the adequacy of TAME. Although the TAME＇s causal structure was applicable to both male and female staff, age group appeared to moderate the structural relationships among the constructs of interest. 相似文献

Intuitive and efficient interfaces for human- robot interaction （HRI） have been a challenging issue in robotics as it is essential for the prevalence of robots supporting humans in key areas of activities. This paper presents a novel augmented reality （AR） based interface to facilitate human-virtual robot interaction. A number of human-virtual robot interaction methods have been for- mulated and implemented with respect to the various types of operations needed in different robotic applications. A Euclidean distance-based method is developed to assist the users in the interaction with the virtual robot and the spatial entities in an AR environment. A monitor-based visualization mode is adopted as it enables the users to perceive the virtual contents associated with different interaction methods, and the virtual content augmented in the real environment is informative and useful to the users during their interaction with the virtual robot. Case researches are presented to demonstrate the successful implementation of the AR-based HRI interface in planning robot pick-and-place operations and path following operations. 相似文献

Average retention after a didactic lecture is around 5% of the content. Active learning like discussion forums and teaching others make the retention rate to surpass 70%. Peer-Assisted Learning （PAL） is an effective method that makes active learning interesting and productive. However, drawbacks like minimal focus, bad structuring of content materials, poor time management, and other channels of distraction can limit the effectiveness of the sessions. Using our experience in the use of this teaching tool, student feedback, and literature review, we drafted a check list for the successful and meaningful use of PAL. Content material was decided on students＇ felt needs, like requests for revision of a particular topic or module. The content material was structured allowing periods of purposeful distraction by weaving in information on movies, sports, and novels, thereby, directing students to desired knowledge. The facilitators were trained to ensure that the focus of the group was not compromised, the timings were maintained, and involvement of all was secured. The use of Wi-Fi and referral books from the library was encouraged to shift the paradigm from passive learning to active application-based learning, and the feedback from the facilitators and participants was seriously considered to improvise future sessions. From the research results, we have found that these strategies were useful and envisaged that the application of these tips can help maximize learner engagement and learning. PAL is associated with cognitive, pedagogical, attitudinal, social, and economic benefits. Students take onus of their learning and even start to enjoy the process. This helped AIMST University stage the first national level convention on PAL in 2012, and our team of student facilitators attributes winning international quizzes based on the experience gained from PAL sessions. 相似文献

The translation of an instrument from one language to another is a challenging yet useful procedure, especially for constructs not widely studied in the target language. Culture shock is one such construct. The Culture Shock Questionnaire （CSQ） developed in England was translated to Turkish. Translation/back translation with 12 translators, the committee approach, and empirical testing in the university student population were the techniques employed. The results support CSQ as a potential instrument in the Turkish language as well as suggest that challenges in the translation of a research instrument, like challenges in the translation of other texts, involve serious dilemmas about the extent of loyalty to the original instrument. The current study recommends the use of multiple techniques in translation and reports on committee decisions in detail. 相似文献

Wind energy is one of the fast growing sources of power production currently, and there is a great demand to reduce the cost of operation and maintenance. Most wind farms have installed supervisory control and data acquisition （SCADA） systems for system control and logging data. However, the collected data are not used effectively. This paper proposes a fault detection method for main bearing wind turbine based on existing SCADA data using an artificial neural network （ANN）. The ANN model for the normal behavior is established, and the difference between theoretical and actual values of the parameters is then calculated. Thus the early stage of main bearing fault can be identified to let the operator have sufficient time to make more informed decisions for maintenance. 相似文献

Since Krashen put forward the Affective Filter Hypothesis, more and more concern has been paid to the anxiety problem in Second and foreign language teaching and learning. Meanwhile, CL （cooperative learning） has gained much attention in recent years, both at home and abroad. Most researches （Oxford ＆ Ehrman, 1993; Kagan, 1994; Slavin, 1995） on CL indicated that CL is a classroom procedure which can lower anxiety and improve learning outcomes. Although the researches abroad have suggested that CL has a positive impact on reducing foreign language learning anxiety, few empirical researches on CL have been conducted in China. Moreover, according to the author＇s observation, anxiety is most obvious in oral English activities. Therefore, this thesis attempts to investigate some Chinese non-English freshmen＇s foreign language learning anxiety. Two classes are involved in the study： one as the experimental class instructed with CL method, the other as the control class taught with the traditional teaching method. By using a classical instrument, the FLCAS （foreign language classroom anxiety scale）, this study examined the subjects＇ foreign language learning anxiety. According to the analysis and comparison of the first and second FLCAS, the author finds CL has a significant effect on reducing students＇ foreign language learning anxiety. 相似文献
