Modeling Instruction (MI), an active-learning introductory physics curriculum, has been shown to improve student academic success. Peer-to-peer interactions play a salient role in the MI classroom. Their impact on student interest and self-efficacy – preeminent constructs of various career theories – has not been thoroughly explored. Our examination of three undergraduate MI courses (N?=?221) revealed a decrease in students’ physics self-efficacy, physics interest, and general science interest. We found a positive link from physics interest to self-efficacy, and a negative relationship between science interest and self-efficacy. We tested structural equation models confirming that student interactions make positive contributions to self-efficacy. This study frames students’ classroom interactions within broader career theory frameworks and suggests nuanced considerations regarding interest and self-efficacy constructs in the context of undergraduate active-learning science courses. 相似文献

ABSTRACTPurpose: The present study aims to determine and compare the views of directors and users of public libraries on the use of social media for the marketing of library services.Methodology: Data collection was done through two researcher-made questionnaires, one from the viewpoints of directors and one investigating the views of users. The questionnaires’ validity was done by four libraries and Information Science professionals, and the reliability was determined by the Cronbach’s alpha coefficient. The statistical population of this research is made up of all directors and users of 12 public libraries of the city of Isfahan, one of the largest cities in Iran.Findings: In users’ viewpoints, the “interaction capability” is the most important feature that social media marketing can have in libraries. From the viewpoints of the directors, “creating a true picture of the role of the library” and “informing users about library services” are among the most important reasons for the marketing of libraries in the social media. From the perspective of both groups, the Telegram is the most appropriate medium for the marketing of library services.Results: To maintain their customers and their market position, libraries need to use more exciting tools such as social media for marketing. Library directors of this study emphasized on this fact and 79.1% of users expressed interest in receiving library information through social media.Value: The findings of this study would help the library directors to better decide on the marketing of their library services in social media.Type of the study: Scientific-Research 相似文献

This study evaluated effect of mental rotation (MR) training on learning outcomes and explored effectiveness of teaching via three-dimensional (3D) software among medical students with diverse spatial intelligence. Data from n = 67 student volunteers were included. A preliminary test was conducted to obtain baseline level of MR competency and was utilized to assign participants to two experimental conditions, i.e., trained group (n = 25) and untrained group (n = 42). Data on the effectiveness of training were collected to measure participants’ speed and accuracy in performing various MR activities. Six weeks later, a large class format (LCF) session was conducted for all students using 3D software. The usefulness of technology-assisted learning at the LCF was evaluated via a pre- and post-test. Students’ feedback regarding MR training and use of 3D software was acquired through questionnaires. MR scores of the trainees improved from 25.9±4.6 points to 28.1±4.4 (P = 0.011) while time taken to complete the tasks reduced from 20.9±3.9 to 12.2±4.4 minutes. Males scored higher than females in all components (P = 0.016). Further, higher pre- and post-test scores were observed in trained (9.0±1.9 and 12.3±1.6) versus untrained group (7.8±1.8; 10.8±1.8). Although mixed-design analysis of variance suggested significant difference in their test scores (P < 0.001), both groups reported similar trend in improvement by means of 3D software (P = 0.54). Ninety-seven percent of students reported technology-assisted learning as an effective means of instruction and found use of 3D software superior to plastic models. Software based on 3D technologies could be adopted as an effective teaching pedagogy to support learning across students with diverse levels of mental rotation abilities. 相似文献

The attempt is made to produce recombinant factor VIII but the first step in producing such product is production and purification
of rabbit’s polyclonal antibody against factor VIII. The second and third steps involve monoclonal antibody and recombinant
factor VIII production. Factor VIII is one of the most important coagulating factor where its deficiency leads to diseases
like hemophilia type A or classic. It is an inherited disease. Previously, it was obtained through fractionation of blood
plasma of blood donors. After processing, factor VIII could be used to manage such patients. Due to transfer of viral disease
like hepatitis and HIV through factor VIII obtained by fractionation, high cost of production, insufficiency of the donors
and the process of virus removal, thus production of factor VIII through recombinant technology can be useful and helpful.
The reaction between antibody and antigen is one the most specific reaction; therefore, such reaction can be employed to identify
factor VIII. Thereby, rabbits were injected several times with adjuvant-linked antigen to produce antibody. The antibody was
separated from the blood sample, purified and used to identify factor VIII in the research. 相似文献

The well-known detrimental effects of cadmium (Cd) on plants are chloroplast destruction, photosynthetic pigment inhibition, imbalance of essential plant nutrients, and membrane damage. Jasmonic acid (JA) is an alleviator against different stresses such as salinity and drought. However, the functional attributes of JA in plants such as the interactive effects of JA application and Cd on rapeseed in response to heavy metal stress remain unclear. JA at 50 μmol/L was observed in literature to have senescence effects in plants. In the present study, 25 μmol/L JA is observed to be a “stress ameliorating molecule” by improving the tolerance of rapeseed plants to Cd toxicity. JA reduces the Cd uptake in the leaves, thereby reducing membrane damage and malondialdehyde content and increasing the essential nutrient uptake. Furthermore, JA shields the chloroplast against the damaging effects of Cd, thereby increasing gas exchange and photosynthetic pigments. Moreover, JA modulates the antioxidant enzyme activity to strengthen the internal defense system. Our results demonstrate the function of JA in alleviating Cd toxicity and its underlying mechanism. Moreover, JA attenuates the damage of Cd to plants. This study enriches our knowledge regarding the use of and protection provided by JA in Cd stress. 相似文献

Drug protein binding phenomena can lead to some interesting drug—drug interactions when one drug displaces another in the
binding site. Studies of protein binding are conducted by several methods including equilibrium dialysis, ultra-filtration
and chromatographic methods. Gel filtration is a simple chromatographic method in protein binding studies. Propranolol binds
to plasma proteins by 90%–95% in circulation system and other drugs with high protein binding may displace it. In this study
protein binding of propranolol has been studied using gel filtration to Bovine Serum Albumin (BSA) alone and in the presence
of Acetyl salicylic acid (ASA), Indomethacin and mefenamic acid has been studied using gel filtration method. The results
indicated that ASA decreased protein binding of propranolol by 20% to BSA and other drugs did not displace propranolol from
the binding site. Therefore, ASA may alter pharmacological effects of propranolol. 相似文献

Students enter physics classes with negative attitudes towards physics compared to the other sciences. Female students are more likely to opt out of a second higher-level physics course. Thus, the broad goal of this work is to better understand how to have the most lasting positive impact on female students’ attitudes and motivations towards learning physics after a single physics course in high school. Through longitudinal case studies of six female students using the frameworks of episodic memory and physics identity, we explore the most impactful features of students’ high school physics experiences. The data is drawn from three years of student interviews and one initial student survey. Our results indicate that the students could remember in detail and with longevity their experiences with physics causing high arousal and negative initial valence, such as teachers presenting physics knowledge in a counter-intuitive way. The students can remember the context but not the details of their experiences with physics causing low arousal and non-neutral valence, such as their teacher sharing a story about physics. Experiences that were eventually tied to positive valence had positive impacts on female students’ physics identity maintenance, such as problem solving activities where no one was left behind. 相似文献

The geometry textbooks of the new system of secondary education in Iran differed dramatically from the old ones considering
the aims, the visions, the content, the approach, and the educational purposes. Four hundred eighty mathematics teachers participated
in a nationwide professional development program conducted by the author to facilitate the implementation of the new changes.
Based on this program, a research study was designed to investigate the teachers’ beliefs about a new reform in high school
geometry as a result of the professional development program. The data of the study were collected through teachers’ reflective
writings, project works, group discussions, reflective questionnaires, and oral communications. The purpose of this paper
is to draw upon this study and to document mathematics teachers’ beliefs about new changes. 相似文献
