Effects of Practical Experience and Sequential Skills in Map Reading     

Liaw Beng Teck 《Asia Pacific Journal of Education》1989,10(1):55-59

The study was carried out to examine the effects of practical experience and sequential skills on achievement in map reading among secondary one pupils in Singapore. A total of 144 pupils in four secondary one (Express) classes participated in the study. Each class ws randomly assigned to one of the four treatment groups, where two teaching methods, i.e. practical learning and direct-teaching, and two types of curriculum structure, i.e. hierarchical sequence and non-hierachical sequence, were compared. The experiment consisted of eight weeks of teaching after which a post-test and a delayed post-test were administered to establish the effects of each treatment. Findings showed that practical experience and sequential skills in map reading would have a positive effect on pupil performance and retention of the acquired skills.  相似文献

Changing the English language curriculum in Brunei Darussalam   总被引：1，自引：0，他引：1  

Ng Seok Moi 《International Journal of Educational Development》1994,14(4)

This paper describes the development of a language project in Brunei Darussalam, a project aimed at improving English language learning and fostering positive reading interests. In-service teachers were trained to change from traditional textbook-based techniques to an activity-based approach integrating the practice of aural-oral and writing skills. The major components of project implementation will be discussed to demonstrate the optimization of available resources, particularly available expertise in teacher skill and language competence. This project provides an interesting example of an attempt to satisfy the practical demands of policy-makers while adhering to research standards of evaluation studies.  相似文献   

Teacher demand: crisis what crisis?     

Beng Huat See  Stephen Gorard  Patrick White 《Cambridge Journal of Education》2004,34(1):103-123

This paper is based on two studies of teacher recruitment and retention commissioned by the General Teaching Council of Wales and the ESRC. Using official statistics from a variety of secondary sources, it shows trends over time in teacher numbers in England and Wales, and examines teacher vacancies, pupil‐teacher ratios and teacher wastage. It concludes that although individual indicators, examined in isolation, are an inadequate basis for assessments of the situation, there is no evidence in the data of any ‘crisis’ of teacher supply or demand in Wales (or indeed most of England). There are regional, occasional and subject‐specific disparities, but there are now more teachers than ever before, while the number of pupils in schools is falling. The paper, therefore, considers a variety of possible explanations for the widely‐held belief that there is a serious shortage of teachers.  相似文献   

Designing a humane multimedia interface for the visually impaired     

Claude Ghaoui  M. Mann  Eng Huat Ng 《European Journal of Engineering Education》2001,26(2):139-149

Whilst graphical user interfaces (GUI) have gained much popularity in recent years, the need of the visually impaired to use applications in a non-visual environment is great. This paper promotes the provision of interfaces that allow users to access most of the functionality of existing GUIs using speech. This has been achieved by the design of a speech control tool that incorporates speech recognition and synthesis into existing packaged software, such as Teletext, the Internet or a word processor. The tool developed has taken the menu structure as a means of demonstrating what is accessible by the use of speech input and output. The tool provides the facility to dump screen text into clipboard and read it out loud. Adapting existing GUI applications in this way requires successful integration of speech, which in turn requires a profound understanding of the medium and the development of human engineering techniques.  相似文献   

Voices of donors: Case reports of body donation in Hong Kong     

Chiu HY  Ng KS  Ma SK  Chan CH  Ng SW  Tipoe GL  Chan LK 《Anatomical sciences education》2012,5(5):295-300

Body donation is important for medical education and academic research. However, it is relatively rare in Hong Kong when compared with many Western countries. Comprehensive research has been performed on the motivation for body donation in Western countries; however, there is still insufficient research on body donation in Hong Kong to provide information on how to increase the body‐donation rate. To understand the factors involved in the decision to donate one's body, the authors interviewed a registered donor and the daughter of another donor in Hong Kong. The authors interpreted the information collected in light of the available published reports, which mostly focus on body donation in Western countries. Despite the consistency of some demographic factors and motivations between the participants in our study and those investigated in the published reports from Western countries, there are differences in education level and socioeconomic status between the donors in our study and those from Western studies. The authors also suggest that Confucianism and Buddhism in Chinese culture may motivate potential body donors in Hong Kong. Other important factors that influence the body‐donation decision may include family members' body donation, registration as organ donors, and good doctor–patient relationships. Although case report studies have their limitations, this study allows us to explore the complexity of events and establish the interconnectivity of factors involved in body donation, which could not be achieved in previous survey‐based studies. © 2012 American Association of Anatomists.  相似文献   

Iterative method on well bore boundary in numerical modeling of variably saturated flow     

王俊  黄岁樑 《天津大学学报(英文版)》2012,18(2):104-111

An iterative method was developed for incorporating the well bore boundary into the finite difference model of water flow in variably saturated porous media. Six cases were presented involving groundwater pumping or injection to demonstrate the advantages of the iterative method over the traditional method. For the iterative method, the total flux gradually approached the well discharge and the flux profile was non-uniform. And the iterative method took into account the variation of well bore water table. Compared to the traditional method, the iterative method can simulate the variably saturated flow caused by pumping or injection more realistically.  相似文献   

Internationalization of the Counseling Profession: Meaning, Scope and Concerns     

Kok-Mun Ng  Brigid M. Noonan 《International journal for the advancement of counseling》2012,34(1):5-18

The present study sought to clarify the meaning and delineate the scope of internationalization of the counseling profession. Using a qualitative approach, the study recruited a panel of eight experts to help generate a consensus statement on the meaning of internationalization to the counseling profession and to delineate a five-theme scope of internationalization. The panel further highlighted concerns about some aspects of the process of internationalization, related to promoting U.S./Euro-centrism, as well as recognizing positive progress that is culturally respectful and beneficial for the counseling profession across the world, including the United States.  相似文献   

An examination of school leadership in Singapore through the lens of the Fourth Way     

Pak Tee Ng 《Educational Research for Policy and Practice》2012,11(1):27-34

School leadership is an important factor in educational reform and school transformation. This article aims to examine the challenges of school leadership in Singapore through the lens of the Fourth Way. In particular, this article makes reference to three messages in the Fourth Way and examines the paradoxes and challenges faced by school leaders in Singapore associated with each message. The article argues that the government both drives and steers the education system; that democracy and professionalism, and bureaucracy and market coexist; and that educators embrace both accountability and responsibility.  相似文献
