Reducing the prior-knowledge achievement gap by using technology-assisted guided learning in an undergraduate chemistry course     

Anna J. Lou  Susanne M. Jaeggi 《科学教学研究杂志》2020,57(3):368-392

There have been many practical obstacles for teachers to implement evidence-based educational technology, especially in STEM classrooms. By implementing learning principles related to Cognitive Load Theory, we developed an innovative Technology-Assisted Guided Learning (TAGL) approach and its web-based instructional tool, combining expertise from educational research and best teaching practices to enhance guided student-centered learning in chemistry. A total of 185 community college students were randomly assigned to learn stoichiometry through either TAGL or one of two active control interventions, traditional direct instruction and Khan Academy, a widely used web learning platform. We found that the TAGL group significantly outperformed both active control groups immediately after instruction, and furthermore, despite the fact that all groups received additional instruction in stoichiometry, the beneficial effects of TAGL compared to the control groups were maintained a month later. Notably, TAGL was able to eliminate the achievement gap between students with low prior knowledge and students with high prior knowledge. Furthermore, prior-knowledge activation was found to be especially beneficial for students with low prior knowledge. Our work contributes to existing research in learning theories and provides new insight toward the development of more effective and adaptive instructional designs. By translating research into practice, this study demonstrates the great potential of using innovative computer-based technology to improve student learning for all.  相似文献

‘This could be our reality in the next five to ten years’: a blogpost platform as an expectation generation device on the future of insurance markets     

Gert Meyers  Ine Van Hoyweghen 《Journal of Cultural Economy》2018,11(2):125-140

William James (1919) characterises hypotheses as either live or dead. A hypothesis is live when it is taken into account as a ‘real possibility’. We follow James’ suggestion to not attribute intrinsic properties to hypotheses, but rather investigate how they came into being and look at the effects they generate. Expectations of digital technologies are a topic of vivid debate in the insurance industry. Before these expectations can become ‘live’, they have, in the first place, to be generated by market devices. We investigate how the reinsurance blogpost platform Open Minds functions as an ‘expectation generation device’ on the future of insurance markets. Combining Beckert’s work on the role of fictional expectations with the pragmatist turn in sociology of markets, we propose to study ‘expectation generation devices’, provoking expectations on economic markets. In our empirical analysis, we demonstrate the explicit fictional character of the Open Minds contributions, and analyse how a contained space of openness is generated to provoke expectations. We demonstrate how Open Minds can become live through circulation to other expectation generation sites in the insurance industry and beyond. We conclude by reflecting on the importance of expectation generation devices as a particular type of market devices.  相似文献   

The Impact of More,Better, Faster,Cheaper: How the PCC Influenced Everything That Followed     

Carol G. Hixson 《Cataloging & classification quarterly》2020,58(3-4):294-302

Abstract

The beginnings and the early years of the Program for Cooperative Cataloging (PCC) had a profound impact on the approach taken to cataloging in North America and around the world. The commitment to standards, cooperation, and expanded access also had an impact that went far beyond cataloging operations. One library dean traces the evolution of her vision and contemplates how the PCC’s principles have shaped her entire career and have affected the libraries in which she has worked.  相似文献   

电子书用户使用意愿影响模型构建与实证     

杨方铭  张志强 《图书情报工作》2020,64(9):85-94

[目的/意义] 探究用户使用电子书意愿的影响因素，以有助于电子书产业走出缓慢的发展困境。[方法/过程] 以UTAUT2、使用满足理论为基础，从需求满足和外部情景因素两个层面构建影响因素模型，并将需求满足细化为内容需求、社交互动需求和休闲娱乐需求3个测量变量。采用问卷调查方法收集有效样本1 013份，使用AMOS21软件对模型进行验证。[结果/结论] 研究发现，需求满足、阅读习惯、价格价值、社会影响对使用意愿有正向影响作用，而激励措施对使用意愿有负向影响作用，努力期望对使用意愿的影响不显著，并依据研究结果提出促进电子书产业发展的建议。  相似文献

已婚妇女就业意愿对其育后就业决策的影响     

郭舒婧 《保定学院学报》2020,(1):22-28

“全面二孩”政策的实施对大多数女性的生活和生育产生了很大的影响。大多数生育后的女性要面临的一个重要选择就是出去就业还是在家带孩子?运用社会性别理论提出假设:大多数妇女育后选择是否就业主要取决于丈夫的家庭利益,而不是其个人的就业意愿;城镇已婚育龄妇女就业意愿对其育后就业决策更有积极影响;教育程度高的已婚育龄妇女就业意愿对其育后就业决策更有积极影响。通过实证研究和二元logistic回归模型分析,结果显示,三个假设都得到了部分验证。  相似文献
