Exploring video games and learning in South Africa: An integrative review     

Bayeck  Rebecca Y. 《Educational technology research and development : ETR & D》2020,68(5):2775-2795

This study is a review of video games studies completed in South Africa. This paper looked at existing research on video games in South Africa in order to understand the research approaches used, and the learning outcomes found in respect to findings from studies in the western world. Interestingly, the study shows similarities in the learning outcomes, yet a great emphasis on educational games targeted to address issues relevant to South Africa. This research also reveals that context, as argued in sociocultural theory, shaped the content of the games designed, populations studied, type of game to associate with video games, and learning.

New project system for undergraduate electronic engineering     

Dirk M. Chiu  Shen Y. Chiu 《European Journal of Engineering Education》2005,30(3):385-392

A new approach to projects for undergraduate electronic engineering in an Australian university has been applied successfully for over 10 years. This approach has a number of projects running over three year period. Feedback from past graduates and their managers has confirmed that these projects train the students well, giving them the ability and confidence to work independently and collectively in the industrial world. Due to their importance to universities, staff and students alike, together with the potential heavy financial burden on the universities, careful planning has to be undertaken before implementing such projects. This paper presents some detailed suggestions on how such projects should be administered and operated as well as setting out possible criteria to assist supervisors in evaluating the final product from such projects.  相似文献   

Coping efficacy and psychological problems of children of divorce   总被引：5，自引：0，他引：5  

Sandler IN  Tein JY  Mehta P  Wolchik S  Ayers T 《Child development》2000,71(4):1099-1118

Three models of the relations of coping efficacy, coping, and psychological problems of children of divorce were investigated. A structural equation model using cross-sectional data of 356 nine- to twelve-year-old children of divorce yielded results that supported coping efficacy as a mediator of the relations between both active coping and avoiding coping and psychological problems. In a prospective longitudinal model with a subsample of 162 of these children, support was found for Time 2 coping efficacy as a mediator of the relations between Time 1 active coping and Time 2 internalizing of problems. Individual growth curve models over four waves also found support for coping efficacy as a mediator of the relations between active coping and psychological problems. No support was found for alternative models of coping as a mediator of the relations between efficacy and symptoms or for coping efficacy as a moderator of the relations between coping and symptoms.  相似文献   

Salient Effects of Practice Poster Sessions on Counselor Development: Implications for Research Training and Professional Identification     

P. PAUL HEPPNER  S. CRAIG ROONEY  LISA Y. FLORES  JEFFREY M. TARRANT  JACQUELINE K. HOWARD  AMY M. MULHOLLAND  RUSSELL THYE  SHERRI L. TURNER  KATHERINE M. HANSON  RODERICK L. LILLY 《Counselor Education & Supervision》1999,38(3):205-217

This study examined the effects of a 2-step practice poster session on first-year doctoral students' self-efficacy beliefs about making professional presentations, and evaluated the usefulness of an active-learning teaching assignment. Quantitative and qualitative data were collected from participants after each of 2 practice poster sessions. The results (a) suggest that the relatively brief training exercise significantly increased participants' self-efficacy to give scholarly presentations, and (b) replicate earlier reports about the usefulness of the learning assignment.  相似文献   

Motivational factors in learning American sign lanquage     

Lang H  Foster S  Gustina D  Mowl G  Liu Y 《Journal of deaf studies and deaf education》1996,1(3):202-212

This study focuses on factors that motivate and demotivate professionals to learn American Sign Language (ASL). Using a qualitative approach known as the Critical Incident Technique (CIT), faculty and staff were asked to reflect on their sign language learning expericences, and their responses were examined for motivational patterns. Principal motivating factors were intrinsic in nature, including a desire to perform well in one's position, personal goals, and an interest in sign language per se. Integrative factors were also important, especially an interest in social interactions with deaf people. Principal factors that demotivated the respondents were more extrinsic in nature, dealing with workload, scheduling issues associated with the sign language curriculum, instruction, and the attitudes of self and others. We draw implications from the findings for the enhancement of sign language instruction programs.  相似文献   

Recognition of substantial equivalence of engineering competence: the Canada—France mutual recognition agreement     

Wendy Ryan-Bacon  Gilles Y. Delisle 《European Journal of Engineering Education》2001,26(3):219-230

Recognition at the full professional level of engineers coming from two different countries with totally different systems is a very difficult task. However, in the context of globalization of all human activities, particularly engineering services, it is essential that well-developed countries take very serious efforts using an open-minded approach to establish the parameters that will permit the ultimate objective of international recognition to be achieved. While there are many ways to move toward this objective, one recognized method of making very important steps is certainly the signature of mutual recognition agreements by major players in the trade of engineering services. In this context, this paper presents the features of a bilateral agreement that has been signed between France and Canada for the recognition of engineers at the full professional level from both countries. This agreement is the first of its kind for Canada. Many features of the agreement are worthy of note for others trying to identify the parameters to achieve an agreement between two countries having very different systems. How this success was achieved is explained, giving full attention to those factors that contributed to the conclusion of this agreement.  相似文献   

Mathematics classrooms in Japan, Taiwan, and the United States   总被引：6，自引：0，他引：6  

J W Stigler  S Y Lee  H W Stevenson 《Child development》1987,58(5):1272-1285

Observations were conducted in Chinese, Japanese, and American classrooms during mathematics classes. Activities in 20 representative classrooms were observed in each of 2 grades (1 and 5) and in each country. Some observations focused on individual children and others on the teachers. Large cross-cultural differences were found in many variables related to classroom structure and management. These differences paralleled differences in achievement in mathematics among the 3 countries. A number of these variables also were significantly related to average level of mathematics achievement within the American classrooms.  相似文献

Walsh Operational Matrices for Fractional Calculus and Their Application to Distributed Systems     

C.F. Cheng  Y.T. Tsay  T.T. Wu 《Journal of The Franklin Institute》1977,303(3):267-284

The Walsh operational matrix for performing integration and solving state equations is generalized to fractional calculus for investigating distributed systems. A new set of orthogonal functions is derived from Walsh functions. By using the new functions, the generalized Walsh operational matrices corresponding to √s, √(s²+ 1), e^-s and e^-√s etc. are established. Several distributed parameter problems are solved by the new approach.  相似文献
