This article focuses on the theoretical research and practical teaching in training and improving students’ ability of practical writing in higher vocational colleges through analyzing present curricular status of writing courses. It clarifies the idea of teaching reformation and finds out a series of teaching methods possessing practical significance. It also makes a reference to the teaching ...

There is a growing need for research examining the e!ective implementation and management of teleworking as it is increasingly being used as an organizational work structure. The enhanced functionality of many information technologies facilitates the completion of work across geographically dispersed teleworkers while simultaneously providing a vehicle to overcome social isolation that has been...

The class qusi-experiment was conducted to determine whether using scaffolding teaching strategy enhanced student understanding of statistics concepts for students enrolled in an introductory course. In this two-year longitudinal study, students received scaffolding intervention in experimental group and traditional teaching method in control group. In particular, learning effectiveness differe...

One of the ways of promoting students’ interest in physics is the performance of experiments. This paper is concerned to experiments which could be used in physics classes taught at basic education. A questionnaire was created to determine to what extent basic school physics teachers are willing to incorporate experiments into their teaching method repertoire. The questionnaire underwent a pilo...

Much research in education has been done on the study of different language teaching methods. However, there has been little investigation using computational analysis to compare such methods in terms of readability or complexity progression. In this paper, we make use of existing readability scoring techniques and our own classifiers to analyze the textbooks used in two very different teaching...

This review paper analyzes significant studies in learning style and e-Learning fields in order to synthesize an answer to the question “Does considering learning styles improve e-Learning performance especially for K-12 mathematics education?”. Included studies can be categorized into the following topics: learning style models, learning style detection methods, considering learning styles in ...

Reading, as the major channel to obtain linguistic knowledge, has long been paid much attention to in foreign language teaching and learning. With the deeper research on reading process, both reading theories and reading teaching methods have been improved a lot. In this thesis, the writer carried out an experiment with the lexical cohesion theory applied in English reading class so as to find ...

The problem of how a teacher and a learner can cooperate in the process of learning concepts from examples in order to minimize the required sample size without “coding tricks” has been widely addressed, yet without achieving teaching and learning protocols that meet what seems intuitively an optimal choice for selecting samples in teaching. We introduce the model of subset teaching sets, based...

A visual method for adding fractions is introduced. The similarities between this and another method are studied. A formal definition is introduced in an intuitive and visual way. The multiplication is discussed as well as analogies between addition and multiplication with union and intersection of two sets. A final discussion on the philosophy of the method and a comparison with another method...

This study explored the effects of online academic help-seeking (OAHS) and flipped learning (FL) on students’ development of involvement, self-efficacy, and self-directed learning. A quasi-experiment was conducted to investigate whether students’ involvement, self-efficacy, and self-directed learning increases over time with intervention by OAHS, FL, and their combination. Three classes of firs...
