Chin Long Fay  P.L. Teh  Fong Ho Kheong 《Asia Pacific Journal of Education》1988,9(2):1-17

This paper reports an experimental study into the effects of cooperative and individualistic approaches in teaching Mathematics and English. The study was conducted at a Vacation Learning Camp (VLC) which was held for two weeks in one of the secondary schools in Singapore. This VLC was targeted at Secondary One pupils who were classified as below average based on general ability streaming.

The individualistic teaching approach was assumed to contribute to individual efforts while the cooperative teaching approach was expected to produce cooperativeness among the subjects. The results indicated that there were no significant differences in performances in the main effects classified as the treatment groups and the sex groups in both Mathematics and English; in Mathematics, the individualistic teaching approach was more effective for the male pupils whereas the cooperative teaching approach was more effective with females. However, in English, the results were reversed.

The female pupils in the cooperative group seemed to have improved in their attitude towards learning Mathematics whereas the male pupils in the individualistic group seemed to have a more positive attitude towards learning English.  相似文献

Revamping the funding formula for special education programs in Taiwan     

Hsuan-fu Ho  Pi-Yu Chen 《Asia Pacific Education Review》2011,12(1):143-148

The purpose of this study was to determine the services required by students in special education programs and to estimate the cost of adequately funding special education in Taiwan. Questionnaires were administered to 300 special education teachers at the elementary school level to identify the services required. Thereafter, two focus group interviews were organized to determine the service categories and their cost. The results show that the costs for special education programs vary significantly according to severity of disability, and the weighting for mildly, moderately, and severely disabled students was found to be 3.7, 4.5, and 5.2, respectively. The costs also vary significantly according to the category of disability, and the weighting was found to range from 3.6 for emotionally disabled students and to 5.9 for hearing impaired students. These findings suggest that the current special education funding formula in Taiwan, which ignores these cost differences, should be revamped.  相似文献

“花开红树乱莺啼．草上平湖白鹭飞。”试想．如果没有太阳，你会感知到花开鸟飞的美景吗？也不会有什么蓝天、白云、青山、绿水、红色的苹果、黄色的柑橘、金首饰、银餐具、宽阔的马路、高大的楼房、美丽的脸蛋、华丽的时装等等。如果是在一片漆黑的夜晚里，再好看的一切，也都会失去它的魅力。  相似文献

Device Comparability of Tablets and Computers for Assessment Purposes     

Laurie Laughlin Davis  Xiaojing Kong  Yuanyuan McBride  Kristin M. Morrison 《教育实用测度》2017,30(1):16-26

The definition of what it means to take a test online continues to evolve with the inclusion of a broader range of item types and a wide array of devices used by students to access test content. To assure the validity and reliability of test scores for all students, device comparability research should be conducted to evaluate the impact of testing device on student test performance. The current study looked at the comparability of test scores across tablets and computers for high school students in three commonly assessed content areas and for a variety of different item types. Results indicate no statistically significant differences across device type for any content area or item type. Student survey results suggest that students may have a preference for taking tests on devices with which they have more experience, but that even limited exposure to tablets in this study increased positive responses for testing on tablets.  相似文献
