Switching to online learning during COVID-19: Theorizing the role of IT mindfulness and techno eustress for facilitating productivity and creativity in student learning     

《International Journal of Information Management》2021

Online learning environments facilitate improved student learning by offering IT tools to enhance student productivity- and creativity-in-learning. COVID-19 impacted social-distancing measures forced an abrupt switch to online learning in most universities, putting immense pressure on the students to creatively adapt to new ways of online learning. Despite the purported positives of online learning, in the COVID-19 scenario, students reported mixed outcomes. While some students could adapt to the ‘new normal’, others struggled to adjust to the transformed IT-enabled learning scenario. Grounding our work in IT mindfulness literature, we posit that an IT-enabled learning environment may have differential impact on students’ productivity- and creativity-in-learning, depending on the extent of their IT mindfulness. Besides leveraging the mindfulness-to-meaning theory, we hypothesize the mediating role of techno eustress in the relationship between student IT mindfulness and learning effectiveness. We test the theorized model through data collected via a two-wave survey in a university student population exclusively using IT-enabled learning environments during the pandemic lockdown period. Results indicate that IT mindfulness has significant positive relationships with both productivity- and creativity-in- learning. Moreover, these relationships are mediated by the students’ techno eustress perceptions. Theoretical and practical implications arising from our study are also discussed.  相似文献   

新发突发传染病驱动的谣言传播建模与仿真——双重网络下的研究     

谢丽  赵培忻  丁海欣 《现代情报》2021,40(10):22-33

[目的/意义] 传染病传播往往伴随着谣言,新发突发传染病更是如此。相应地,疾病防控过程同时也是谣言控制过程。对于谣言控制而言,理解其产生机制与传播规律具有基础意义。[方法/过程] 基于疾病传染与谣言传播模型,通过引入创新扩散视角,提出了新发突发传染病驱动的谣言传播描述框架,构造了个体层面上的数学模型。在实验设计的基础之上,利用智能体建模技术展开了系统的仿真实验。[结果/结论] 基于仿真实验数据的分析结果显示,除了谣言传播参数之外,新发突发传染病相关因素,包括疾病参数与流行病感知参数,亦能够对谣言传播造成具有统计显著性的影响。这一结论意味着,忽视谣言传播对于疾病传播依赖性的谣言治理策略可能并不如期望的那样有效,可能会造成治理资源的浪费,甚或造成相反的结果。  相似文献   

The response of total testing process in clinical laboratory medicine to COVID-19
pandemic     

Funda Eren  Merve Ergin Tuncay  Esra Firat Oguz  Salim Neselioglu  Ozcan Erel 《Biochemia medica : ?asopis Hrvatskoga dru?tva medicinskih biokemi?ara / HDMB》2021,31(2)

IntroductionFollowing a pandemic, laboratory medicine is vulnerable to laboratory errors due to the stressful and high workloads. We aimed to examine how laboratory errors may arise from factors, e.g., flexible working order, staff displacement, changes in the number of tests, and samples will reflect on the total test process (TTP) during the pandemic period.Materials and methodsIn 12 months, 6 months before and during the pandemic, laboratory errors were assessed via quality indicators (QIs) related to TTP phases. QIs were grouped as pre-, intra- and postanalytical. The results of QIs were expressed in defect percentages and sigma, evaluated with 3 levels of performance quality: 25^th, 50^th and 75^th percentile values.ResultsWhen the pre- and during pandemic periods were compared, the sigma value of the samples not received was significantly lower in pre-pandemic group than during pandemic group (4.7σ vs. 5.4σ, P = 0.003). The sigma values of samples transported inappropriately and haemolysed samples were significantly higher in pre-pandemic period than during pandemic (5.0σ vs. 4.9σ, 4.3σ vs. 4.1σ; P = 0.046 and P = 0.044, respectively). Sigma value of tests with inappropriate IQC performances was lower during pandemic compared to the pre-pandemic period (3.3σ vs. 3.2σ, P = 0.081). Sigma value of the reports delivered outside the specified time was higher during pandemic than pre-pandemic period (3.0σ vs. 3.1σ, P = 0.030).ConclusionIn all TTP phases, some quality indicators improved while others regressed during the pandemic period. It was observed that preanalytical phase was affected more by the pandemic.  相似文献   

重大突发事件语境下的公共图书馆应急服务研究——以新冠肺炎疫情为背景     

范楠楠  陈雅 《新世纪图书馆》2021,(2)

公共图书馆作为公益性的信息传播和服务机构,对于突发事件下的危机管理和应急服务有着不可推卸的责任和义务。文章以新冠肺炎疫情为背景,从预防与应急准备、应急处置、事后恢复与重建三个阶段对公共图书馆的应急服务现状进行调查。研究发现,不少公共图书馆积极采取行动应对疫情值得肯定,但是同时也暴露出一些问题。图书馆应该认真反思,找准差距,强化风险防范意识和安全意识,完善图书馆应急服务机制,提高应急服务能力。  相似文献   

Challenges and policies for promoting internationalization—The case of Iranian public universities     

Mohammad Moshtari  Sorour Delbakhsh  Maryam Ghorbani 《Higher Education Quarterly》2023,77(4):585-601

The global knowledge economy has turned higher education into a key player in societal development. Internationalization benefits higher education institutions in several aspects, such as improvement and visibility in international rankings, revenue generation via tuition fees and external funding, improvement of research and teaching quality, integration with academic communities and familiarization with scholarly attitudes. In this study, we provide insights into the challenges of internationalization faced by higher education institutions in Iran as a developing country. Several policies and practices have been adopted in Iran to improve internationalization efforts; however, these activities have had little impact on the quality of research and educational programs at Iran's universities. Understanding the challenges they face in a systematic way can help identify different factors and develop a set of suggestions to increase the quality and quantity of international cooperation. We formulate our suggestions based on the opportunities provided by the digitalization solutions in the aftermath of the COVID-19 pandemic and the increasing importance of the UN's Sustainable Development Goals in both global and national environments. We interviewed 15 faculty members in Iranian higher education institutions and 14 managers in charge of international affairs at universities in Iran. In addition, data extracted from three forums on Iranian higher education internationalization are analysed. Using a grounded theory approach, we group the challenges into macro-, institutional and individual levels and then suggest a number of practices and policies to increase the quantity and quality of internationalization efforts.  相似文献

The Views of Youth on Their Educational Rights: A Case Study of Secondary Students from two Northern Ontario High Schools     

Sonja?GroverEmail author 《Learning Environments Research》2005,8(2):177-193

A case study is reported involving 32 applied and academic program student volunteers aged 15–18 years from two high schools located in Northern Ontario, Canada. Students were interviewed regarding a number of educational policy and school climate issues. The study examines perceptions of rights as an aspect of the school learning environment. The need for greater school community and additional supports for struggling students was voiced by students across both program groups. Students strongly endorsed either a meritocratic or an equalitarian perspective on rights issues with both philosophies represented to some extent in both program groups. Surprisingly, students across both program groups expressed little interest in their education rights or their legal rights generally. The importance of fostering school community and student interest in rights issues is discussed. Also considered is the role of the social science researcher in providing youth a forum for the discussion of social policy issues.  相似文献
