Smart Tv

Smart-TVs mit immer eindrucksvolleren Fähigkeiten sind der Trend im Bereich der Consumer Electronics. Die intelligenten Geräte sind nicht nur eine technische Neuerung, sondern sie stellen traditionelle Konzepte in Wirtschaft, Recht, Politik und Gesellschaft vor große Herausforderungen. Die bisweilen auch als „Hybrid-TV“ bezeichneten Gerate stehen für eine neue Dimension der Konvergenz und rücken als Forschungsgegenstand in den Fokus ganz unterschiedlicher medienwissenschaftlicher Disziplinen. Technisch muss man sich zunächst einmal klarmachen, wie die Verschmelzung von Fernseh- und Online- Welt tatsächlich funktioniert und welche Begrifflichkeiten die neue Fernsehwelt hervorgebracht hat. In wirtschaftlicher Hinsicht stellt sich dann unter anderem die Frage, wie weit Charakteristika der Internet-Ökonomie bei einem Verknüpfen von Internet und Fernsehen Implikationen für die Erlös- und Refinanzierungsmodelle des TV haben. Ob die noch immer rundfunkzentrierten Vorgaben des Medienrechts die mit Smart-TV einhergehenden Fragen tatsachlich noch sachgerecht adressieren, ist fraglich, was einen Blick auf die medienpolitische Entwicklung erforderlich macht. Schließlich besteht Erörterungsbedarf dahingehend, wie sich der stärkere Grad der Individualisierung von Inhalten und die damit verbundene Zersplitterung der Rezeptionswirkung auf die Gesellschaft auswirken.

PurposeThe purpose of this paper is threefold. Firstly, a new concept, teacher buoyancy, is introduced. Based on the significance to study how teachers bounce back from minor and frequent setbacks (vs. major adversities emphasized in resilience) in their daily work and the research on buoyancy by Martin and Marsh, a dual-component framework to conceptualize this new concept is introduced. Secondly, the development of a new instrument, the Teacher Buoyancy Scale (TBS), to measure it is presented. Thirdly, results of a study using the TBS are reported, which provide insights into how teacher buoyancy can be fostered.Design/methodology/approachThe study employed a quantitative design. A total of 258 teachers taking a part-time initial teacher education (ITE) program completed the TBS. Their responses were analyzed by exploratory factor analysis (EFA). In addition to descriptive statistics and reliability coefficients, Pearson correlation coefficients were calculated to examine the relationship among the factors.FindingsThe data analysis indicated five factors, namely, Coping with difficulties, Bouncing back cognitively and emotionally, Working hard and appraising difficulties positively, Caring for one's well-being and Striving for professional growth. These factors can be readily interpreted by the dual-component framework. Correlations among the factors further revealed that enabling factors can be subdivided into more proximal personal strengths relating to direct coping, and more distal personal assets pertaining to personal well-being. It is the latter that correlates most highly with perceived teacher buoyancy.Originality/valueThe most original contribution of this paper is the proposal of the new concept of teacher buoyancy which is teachers' capacity to deal with the everyday challenges that most teachers face in their teaching. The delineation between buoyancy and resilience sharpens the focus of the problem domain that is most relevant to teachers. The development of the TBS provides a useful and reliable instrument to examine teacher buoyancy in future studies.

Touch-screen GUIs have become a key feature of modern consumer electronics. The purpose of this study is to investigate the effect that reducing the number of icons on the GUI of a popular soda machine has on drink selection time and user satisfaction. Twenty subjects participated in the study, with 10 assigned to the control and experimental groups respectively. Time to make a drink selection was recorded and compared between groups using unpaired t-test. User satisfaction was measured using a five-point scale questionnaire. The results suggested that user satisfaction, except for the display dependability category, is not affected by the reduction of the number of icons on the soda machine GUI and no change was observed in drink selection time.
