Learning And Achievement

<p><em>The purpose of this study was to investigate the relationship between arts students’ English proficiency level and their self-efficacy. Many studies have proved that self-efficacy is a significant predictor of learning and achievement (Multon, Brown, &amp; Lent, 1991; Pajares, 1996, 1997; Schunk &amp; Pajares, 2005). Does this apply to arts students? Arts students spend most of their time practicing skills related to their professions. They have great confidence with what they were doing in their own fields, but they have to sacrifice the time that could be spent studying English. Therefore, are arts students’ self-efficacy correlated with their English proficiency levels? A total of sixty-eight students participated in this study. They were equally divided into two groups: High Proficiency Learners (HPL) and Low Proficiency Learners (LPL). The results show that there was no significant correlation between students’ English proficiency levels and their self-efficacy levels. The results did not support Bandura’s theory. However, the findings did indicate that although arts students’ English proficiency levels were poor, especially for students in the LPL group, they did believe that they had the ability to achieve a certain task. They did well in their professions but not in English. Further studies and more qualitative and quantitative data on arts students are needed.</em></p>

Høj kvalitet og forskningsbaseret undervisning for at sikre studerendes engagement og præstation i den afsluttende eksamen er højt på universiteternes dagsorden. Formålet med dette interventionsstudie var at designe og teste en fag-koordineringsmodel, som aktivt integrerer de forskellige uddannelseselementer og dermed ideelt styrker muligheden for de studerendes dybdelæring og performance ved den afsluttende eksamen. Både kvalitative og kvantitative data indikerer positive virkninger af relationel koordinering i kursusplanlægningen. De kvalitative data påpeger overordnet tilfredshed blandt undervisere og studerende med indsatsen omkring relationel fagkoordinering, og kvalitative udsagn fra eksaminatorer samt kvantitative data peger på, at de studerende klarer sig bedre i deres afsluttende eksamen sammenlignet med studerende fra tidligere år. High-quality and research-based teaching that stimulates student commitment and performance in the final exam is high on the university agenda. The purpose of this intervention study was to design and test a course co-ordination model, which integrates the various/sub-course elements and thereby ideally strengthens the possibility of deep learning and high performance. Both qualitative and quantitative data provide indications of the positive impact of relational coordination in course planning. Qualitative data indicate overall satisfaction with the intervention among lecturers and students, and the qualitative data from examiners together with quantitative data show that the students perform better in their final exam as compared to student performance from previous years.

This paper will address the development process of a qualitative evaluation tool to aid in the thorough analysis of library resources at the University of Maryland. Specifically, our project looks at the use and added value of this tool for the building, reflecting, and analyzing the connections between qualitative and quantitative data. This will allow for more meaningful justifications of budgetary decisions compared to cost and use metrics alone. Given the necessity for meticulous review of continuing resources, our project addresses a request for enhanced transparency from the university faculty and library oversight bodies and serves as a useful tool for accountability and justification of impactful decisions for stakeholders internally and externally. We will discuss the extant literature and the need for this type of tool, the development process including the output planning and data input format, the initial reception of the project, and future goals and planning for our initial usage. Additionally, we will demonstrate the use of the tool, model output, and discuss options for visualizations, storage, and retrieval of input data.

In this paper, first-hand experience of a three-year project in Indonesia is used to explore the relationship between public health and primary care—disciplines which are too rarely considered in partnership. The Healthy Start for Child Survival Project in Lombok, Indonesia, which has now been running for two years, has integrated them in a way which utilises the strengths of both approaches. The result is a comprehensive series of practical and appropriate health interventions based on the collection of qualitative and quantitative data. Avenues of intervention revolve around active outreach involving both antenatal and postnatal strategies, including strategies to reduce morbidity and mortality from tetanus, hepatitis and acute respiratory infection. The positive effects of these interventions are now visible in the huge improvements to the health status of the local child population. The final stage of the project is designed to identify ways in which the health of the local population can be further improved, and to ensure the sustainability of these interventions after the project has been completed. The extent to which the knowledge gained could be applied to public health and primary care in Australia is discussed.

"The research focuses on the relationship between human body and space when mediated by enabling technologies. In the context of wearable devices and prosthetic objects, innovation is linked to integration between body, objects and the data. To identify an effective communication process between man and space, two insights were developed: pressure haptic and rhythm. Haptic pressure is a communicative vehicle to keep attention on main tasks. Rhythm can create a natural dialogue between body and space through the mechanisms of rhythmic entrainment, rhythmic imitation, synchrony. The foot, due to its functional and perceptual characteristics, was chosen as the platform for experimentation. Two prototypes were constructed and tested. The qualitative and quantitative data collected are analysed and discussed in relation to the research objectives. The intervention presented here is called footactil rhythm and seems to have a high application potential in several areas."

AbstractThis paper examines the impact underground literature (yeraltı edebiyatı) has on influencing the opinions and beliefs of Turkey’s youth regarding issues of contemporary importance. In order to understand the relevance of this genre to Turkish youth culture, we have not only examined the debate surrounding the topic in popular and academic circles, but also asked the readers themselves their opinions about their experience with the genre (in both its imported Western and homegrown Turkish variants) and its relevance to their lives. For our purposes, the effect of such texts on readers is the primary focus, and ours is the first mixed-media study to conduct a methodological, data-based investigation into the composition and opinions of underground literature’s readers. Thus, our study supplements a lack in the existing scholarship by offering concrete qualitative and quantitative data that will better elucidate our knowledge of the relationship between underground literature and Turkish youth attitudes, as well as the potential the genre might hold for the future of Turkey’s youth.
