Private tutoring through the internet: globalization and offshoring   总被引：1，自引：0，他引：1  

Alexandre Ventura  Sunhwa Jang 《Asia Pacific Education Review》2010,11(1):59-68

The private tutoring industry has come forward as the third great sector of education. The common sense representation about private tutoring is changing. The growing search for supplementary educational support services and the technological innovation have created a new paradigm. This paper focuses on one of the most interesting faces of this new phenomenon: the rise of private tutoring through the internet. The very promising market is considered by some analysts as a true explosion on the offer and demand levels. Many families are feeling increasingly unable to provide their children the “extra help” they need to meet the requirements of further steps in the education system. So, for several reasons, they are outsourcing and even offshoring this so important and competitive task. The field is full of learning and market opportunities. This is the new globalized world of the less shadow and progressively growing private tutoring in the XXI century.  相似文献

Food policy in cyberspace: A webometric analysis of national food clusters in South Korea     

Jang Hyun Kim  Han Woo Park 《Government Information Quarterly》2014

This study analyzes the Triple Helix (TH) structure of an online national food cluster. Although the university–industry–government (UIG) approach provides useful insights into innovation and its diffusion, few studies have examined how such systems are organized and operate in cyberspace. Foodpolis is an export-oriented national food cluster targeting markets in Northeast Asia, including China and Japan. Foodpolis encompasses national food industry complexes and government-led agricultural and food R&D institutes whose goal is to advance food-processing technologies. This study employs the webometric analysis method to reveal the communication pattern of interactions between participating actors. The study evaluates web mentions and hyperlink networks to investigate links to and from the website of Foodpolis (Foodpolis.kr) by using the NodeXL software package. The results for links to and from Foodpolis do not indicate sufficient interactions between UIG websites and Twitter accounts. Instead, the website and Twitter account of Foodpolis were linked to its own online café, websites of individuals, and government websites. The results suggest that UIG actors should employ online communication channels in a more proactive manner for diffusing innovative initiatives such as Foodpolis.  相似文献   

Exploring ICT Use and TPACK of Secondary Science Teachers in Two Contexts     

Yahui Chang  ;Meng-Fang Tsai  ;Syh-Jong Jang 《美中教育评论》2014,(5):298-311

The aims of the study were to census and compare the technological pedagogical and content knowledge （TPACK） of secondary science teachers and their most used information and communication technology （ICT） in two contexts, Taiwan and Shaanxi Province in China. A questionnaire was employed to examine secondary school science teachers＇ most used ICT and their TPACK in science teaching. Eight hundred and six secondary science teachers from Taiwan and 164 teachers from Shaanxi participated in the study. The analytical results showed that multimedia was the most used ICT in Taiwan, followed by PowerPoint （PPT）, Internet platforms, and interactive whiteboards （IWBs）. In Shaanxi, PPT was the most used ICT reported by science teachers, followed by multimedia, IWBs, and Intemet platforms. The findings indicated that in Taiwan, science teachers＇ TPACK was statistically significant in relation to different types of ICT, whereas in Shaanxi, science teachers＇ TPACK did not demonstrate significant difference. In Taiwan, science teachers who reported their most used ICT to be multimedia were found to show significant differences in TPACK according to gender and teaching experience. In Shaanxi, science teachers who reported their most used ICT to be PPT did not show any significant difference on TPACK by gender; however, they showed significant differences on TPACK in regard to teaching experience. The research implications of this study are provided below along with suggestions for future research.  相似文献   

The Time Has Come to Create Meaning‐Making Centers on College Campuses     

Robert J. Nash  Jennifer J. J. Jang 《About Campus》2013,18(4):2-9

Robert J. Nash and Jennifer J. J. Jang argue that students have a great need to find a “meaning to live for,” à la Victor Frankl, and make a case for creating a space for students and educators to contextualize learning experiences dealing with the universal, existential questions of life.  相似文献

Using computer vision techniques on Instagram to link users’ personalities and genders to the features of their photos: An exploratory study     

Yunhwan Kim  Jang Hyun Kim 《Information processing & management》2018,54(6):1101-1114

Instagram and other photo-based social networking sites have emerged as a popular medium. Previous studies mainly focused on social media texts, but the current study deals with the relationships between the characteristics of Instagram users and the features of their photos. The Big Five personality traits and gender were employed as the variables for user characteristics. Content category, the number of faces, the emotions on the faces, and the pixel derived features were employed as the variables for photo characteristics. An online survey of 179 university students was conducted to measure user characteristics, and 25,394 photos in total were downloaded and analyzed from the respondents’ Instagram accounts. Results suggested that content category is associated with extraversion and gender of users. The number of faces is associated with extraversion, agreeableness, and openness of users. Extraversion, agreeableness, and openness of users were partly associated with emotions expressed on the faces in their photos. Correlations were observed among some pixel features and extraversion, agreeableness, conscientiousness, and gender of users. It was also observed that the Big Five personality traits, except for gender, can be predicted by above variables. Implications and limitations are discussed and suggestions for future research are suggested.  相似文献   

历史上档案管理目标价值与原件概念衍变     

蒋卫荣 《档案学研究》2014,28(5):24-28

理论上说,历史上档案管理工作是与档案产生同步的。但是,不同历史时期的档案工作从内涵到形式皆有差异。这是由档案工作的目标价值与相应的价值理念决定的,即保持档案信息内容的准确性、安全性并能为各类利用需求提供可靠保障。近现代传统的文书档案管理中的核心概念——"档案原件"也不是一以贯之存在的,相反,这一概念在近代以后才得以确立。近代之前,虽然不能说绝对没有原件概念,但在档案管理实践环节中,多数时候并不突出强调"原件"概念则可以确定。自电子文件兴起及推广后,档案管理的目标定位由原来的实体管理为主转换成信息管理为主,档案原件意识又有所淡化。从"档案原件"概念的否定之否定演变过程反映了历史上档案管理理念的数次重大变迁与转型。  相似文献

Influence of team identification,game outcome,and game process on sport consumers’ happiness     

Wonseok Jang  Daniel L. Wann  Yong Jae Ko 《Sport Management Review》2018,21(1):63-71

The purpose of the study is to examine the relative effects of game process (i.e., boring versus exciting) and outcome (i.e., losing versus winning) on sport consumers’ happiness depending on their level of team identification. The authors investigated how sport consumers’ levels of happiness are different after recalling (Study 1) and imagining (Study 2) a game when the positivity of the game process and the outcome contradict each other. Results indicate that sport consumers with high team identification exhibited greater degrees of happiness after recalling and imagining a boring win game compared to an exciting loss game. Meanwhile, sport consumers with low team identification exhibited similar degrees of happiness between a boring win game and an exciting loss game.  相似文献
