Development Of Students

The major issue addressed in this study is the alignment between the institutional conception of education and the students’ conceptions of education, decomposed into three parts: conceptions of knowledge, conceptions of teaching and learning, and conceptions of assessment. Subjects in this study were 324 students enrolled in a four-year hospitality management programme. Three instruments were administered to measure students’ conceptions of education. Results indicate that the three sets of conceptions seem to fit in the traditional-constructivist dichotomy with students showing a congruent pattern in the three sets of conceptions. Finally, first-year students hold more traditional conceptions of education than senior students. The implication for educational innovations is that serious attention should be paid to the development of students’ conceptions of education.

Abstract The paper presents results of the survey monitoring individual concepts of e-learning of university students. The survey ran at the Faculty of Informatics and Management, University of Hradec Kralove, Czech Republic. The research sample consisted of 104 respondents who enrolled in the first year of bachelor study programme of Applied Informatics and master study programme of Information Management. In the first phase, students did not design their mind maps by themselves but the Khan’s model of e-learning was used. This model includes 17 terms which are structured in eight dimensions. In the first phase students worked with these terms and structured them into their own concept; adding other terms or omitting any of them was encouraged. In case of completely different concept, students might have designed their own mind maps. The results showed students’ concept of e-learning had not been completely built despite their field of study is Informatics, i.e. they are expected to have close relation to modern technologies in general, including the field of education.

Insight Into

Students embarking on a bioscience degree course, such as Animal Science, often do not have sufficient experience in mathematics. However, mathematics form an essential and integral part of any bioscience degree and are essential to enhance employability. This paper presents the findings of a project looking at the effect of mathematics tutorials on a cohort of first year animal science and management students. The results of a questionnaire, focus group discussions and academic performance analysis indicate that small group tutorials enhance students’ confidence in maths and improve students’ academic performance. Furthermore, student feedback on the tutorial programme provides a deeper insight into student experiences and the value students assign to the tutorials.
