Exploring the effects of integrating the iPad to improve students’ motivation and badminton skills: a WISER model for physical education     

Hui-Chun Hung  Kuo-Chin Lin 《Technology, Pedagogy and Education》2018,27(3):265-278

Physical education (PE) is an important subject in higher education that specifically targets motor skills in health-enhancing activities. This study aimed to explore how mobile technology could be integrated into a badminton course to enhance learners’ motivation and badminton skills. The experiment was conducted in the university badminton course and a total of 225 college students were involved in this study. The participants were divided into two groups, one who would use technology, the Tablet Course Group (TCG), and the other, the Conventional Course Group (CCG), where conventional face-to-face methods were used. Both qualitative and quantitative approaches were adopted in this study. The results indicate that learning motivation and performance in badminton skills in the TCG were significantly better than those in the CCG. The operation of iPads enabled students to change their holistic views of badminton skill learning and achieve the desired skills at their own pace, and afforded immediate visual feedback on skill learning.  相似文献

To Be As Not To Be: In Search of an Alternative Humanism in the Light of Early Daoism and Deconstruction          下载免费PDF全文

Ruyu Hung 《Journal of Philosophy of Education》2015,49(3):418-434

Humanism and humanistic education have been recognised as an issue of the utmost importance, whether in the East or in the West. Underpinning the Eastern and Western humanism is a common belief that there is an essence or essences of humanness. In the Confucian tradition, the core of humanity lies in the idea of ‘ren’; in the Platonic tradition, ‘rationality’. For some critics, this belief may lead to violence as much as justice. One way to be aware of the danger is not to follow the line of traditional humanism without question. The strategy that the early Daoists and the contemporary philosopher Derrida use is to challenge, question, rethink, re‐examine, and reposition the meaning of self. In this article, I will first argue that the idea of non‐I (or non‐self) in early Daoism is indeed a ‘question of the self’ as well as a doubt cast upon the ‘junzi’ (君子) or sage (聖賢) in Confucian orthodoxy. Then, I explore the concept of human subject in Derrida. The consonance between the Daoist undoing of the self and Derrida's deconstructing subject sheds new light on our understanding of humanistic education.  相似文献   

Exploring teachers’ meta-strategic knowledge of science argumentation teaching with the repertory grid technique     

Yu-Ren Lin  Jeng-Fung Hung 《International Journal of Science Education》2013,35(2):105-134

ABSTRACT

This study investigated two science teachers’ meta-strategic knowledge (MSK) of argumentation teaching by applying the repertory grid technique (RGT). One teacher was a novice, while the other was experienced in teaching argumentation. Using the RGT, we elicited the objectives and strategies of the two teachers regarding their argumentation teaching involving two social scientific issue (SSI) scenarios. The results showed that the experienced teacher had more varied and organised MSK for teaching argumentation than the novice teacher. Meanwhile, the novice teacher indicated a belief that the learning of argumentation should occur in a more student-centred manner, rather than relying on a traditional lecture-based environment. Consequently, she spent a considerable amount of time engaging students with their peers’ ideas through discussion and collaboration. On the other hand, the experienced teacher noticed that most of students had the ability to generate arguments, but that few knew how to argue based on evidence. Therefore, she helped students to collect data from various resources and suggested that they construct their own knowledge framework in order to improve students’ ability to incorporate their understanding of scientific knowledge into scientific argumentation.  相似文献

Adaptive learning for ESL based on computation     

Ya‐huei Wang  Hung‐Chang Liao 《British journal of educational technology : journal of the Council for Educational Technology》2011,42(1):66-87

In the conventional English as a Second Language (ESL) class‐based learning environment, teachers use a fixed learning sequence and content for all students without considering the diverse needs of each individual. There is a great deal of diversity within and between classes. Hence, if students' learning outcomes are to be maximised, it is important to know how to provide learning content using students' preferences, learning characteristics and knowledge background as a basis. A five‐step algorithm was proposed that was based on the four factors (gender, learning motivation, cognitive style and learning style) as the different learner characteristics. The percentage increase between the pretest and posttest scores was used to determine optimal adaptive learning sequences to accommodate a variety of individual differences. The algorithm included the following five steps—to obtain the learning performance, to distinguish the learning performance of the lowest and highest groups, to use the different learning sequences as a basis for categorisation, to test the four factors between the lowest and highest performance, and to reduce the number of handouts. Finally, an empirical study for validating the adaptive learning sequence was conducted. By analysing the students' characteristics and the optimal learning sequences, an attempt was made to develop an adaptive learning sequence system to facilitate students' learning and to maximise their learning outcome, thus addressing the problem of fixed learning sequences in conventional ESL instruction.  相似文献   

Pedagogical applications of Vlogs: An investigation into ESP learners' perceptions     

Shao‐Ting Hung 《British journal of educational technology : journal of the Council for Educational Technology》2011,42(5):736-746

This study set out to examine the implementation of a video blog (vlog) project in an English for Specific Purposes (ESP) course that aimed to increase students' opportunities to use the target language. Specifically, it explored students' perceptions towards vlogs and analysed the advantages and disadvantages of vlogs as identified by the students. Data sources included an attitude survey, an open‐ended questionnaire, student interviews, written peer feedback, video clips in vlogs and reflective journals. The results indicated that firstly, the students favourably perceived the vlog project because vlogs not only helped them organise and reflect on their learning products, but also allowed them to archive their learning processes. Second, they reported a number of advantages associated with vlogging, such as visual representation, relief from time constraints, self‐evaluation, professional development, wider audience, peer learning and technical capability. Third, in the opinion of the students, the challenges compromising the effectiveness of the vlog project involved technical difficulties, affective interferences, weak linkage to real‐time communication and time issues. In light of these findings, the researcher proposes two pedagogical implications for ESP instructional practices.  相似文献

运动员的心理技能在他们获取成功的过程中起着关键作用.目前已归纳出获得优异运动成绩所必需的心理品质.然而,结合乒乓球运动,对这些心理品质间的相互关系的研究却很少.因此,本文主要研究了对乒乓球运动员取得优异成绩起重要作用的几个心理品质间的相互关系.研究对象75名高中生和大学生乒乓球运动员,其中男运动员55名,女运动员20名.研究方法要求所有被试者填写运动竞赛量表(SCAT-A)、特质性心理坚韧性问卷(TMTIS)、运动心理技能问卷(APSI).对所测数据进行皮尔逊相关分析.研究结果TMTIS总量表分与APSI总量表分呈高度相关(r=0.866),而SCAT总分与它们不相关.除了注意力分量表外,APSI量表中的各分量表分均与TMTIS各分量表分呈正相关.APSI量表中的注意力与SCAT总分呈负相关.  相似文献
