Impacts Of Climate Change

Global climate change is a clear and present danger to our environment, but the impacts of climate change on human health are less known. People in Asian countries are more susceptible to the negative impacts of climate change and the subsequent environmental exposures because of the high population density, rapid urbanization, and natural geography of the region. The objective of this multidisciplinary collaborative ecological study was to explore the impact of environmental exposures such as temperature (°C), noise (db), humidity (%rh), air conditioning exposure time (hours), and distance traveled to school (km) on the comfort and academic success of school children in Singapore. Analysis of a large dataset from the Singapore National Science Experiment revealed a positive correlation between the distance traveled to school and favorable environmental conditions (moderate temperatures, low noise, low humidity, and higher amount of air conditioning time) and student academic performance. The analysis revealed that the distance traveled between home and school for public school students falls within a larger range than that for independent (private) school students. On average, students traveled farther distances to attend schools of higher academic caliber thereby increasing their exposure to environmental pollution. Student exposure to pollution can be minimized if all schools adhere to higher standards of environmental comfort and standardized academic caliber. If students can attend the school closest to their homes, they can minimize their daily pollution exposure due to traffic/commute, thereby mitigating the resultant negative health consequences.

The Impact

AbstractPedagogical agent is generally described as educational programs that guide, motivate learners while encouraging them during learning by providing feedback. The tasks (informative, guiding, or friend, etc.) and types (human-like, cartoon character, audio, text, etc.) of these modules can be classified based on various variables. Although computer-assisted instruction software is commonly used as a teaching material, research on modules integrated on such programs is scarce. Studies in the field have revealed that such computer-assisted instruction programs increase motivation of learners. In order to keep motivation levels high, these programs need to be adopted depending on the individual needs. Therefore, it can be beneficial to integrate software designed that can be personalized. In this respect, the present study was conducted with secondary school students to identify the impact of pedagogical agent on learners’ academic success and motivation. For the purpose of the study, four groups were formed. The first group received education via fixed pedagogical agent, the second group had the option to choose among several pedagogical agents, the third group received the education without pedagogical agent and finally the last group received the same education through traditional (non-computer) way. This four-week program was introduced to students via MS Excel program and the data was gathered as pre- and post-test method. The findings have revealed that interfaces impacted motivation and accordingly academic success in a positive way. As a result of the study, it is suggested that learners should be provided programs that can be personalized depending on learners’ needs and preferences.

The aim of this study is to determine the needs of Ege University (EU) students regarding orientation and academic consultancy services. The population (N=48975) of the study consists of students studying on EU Bornova Campus in 2012-2013 academic year; and the sample (n=1387) was chosen using an appropriate sampling method among the newly enrolled preparatory school students and first graders (n=8177) and among students who attend EU from 1st grade to 6th grade (n=40798). The newly enrolled students (n=352) and those continuing their education (n=1035) in the sample are students of 12 faculties, 4 high schools and 3 vocational high schools. Newly enrolled students were given questionnaires on orientation while the questionnaires handed out to students continuing their education focused on academic consultancy. The questionnaires were applied at two separate times. First questionnaires were given between May 5 and May 23, 2012; and the second run was between November 15 and January 15, 2013 with different students. According to the findings regarding orientation needs; at the beginning of the semester when the first group of questionnaires was handed out, students may have attached importance to needs like accommodation and health and wished to reach information on their departments quickly. Towards the end of the fall semester, on the other hand, they might have needed to get information about personal development for themselves. As for the findings about personal development; it could be said that newly enrolled students attach importance to career planning skills and several issues of personal development (dealing with stress, making decisions, effective time management, etc.). Students continuing their education may have had needs in this direction, albeit fewer in number. According to academic consultancy findings; EU students may not be satisfied with academic consultancy services provided in a general sense and it can be asserted that students do not benefit from their academic consultants very much. ÖzetBu araştırmanın amacı, Ege Üniversitesi (EÜ) öğrencilerinin oryantasyon ve akademik danışmanlık hizmetleri ile ilgili gereksinimlerini belirlenmektir. Araştırmanın evrenini (N=48975) EÜ Bornova Yerleşkesi’nde 2012-2013 eğitim-öğretim yılında öğrenim gören öğrenciler, örneklemi (n = 1387) ise üniversiteye yeni kayıt yaptıran hazırlık ve birinci sınıf öğrencileri (n=8177) arasından ve 1. sınıftan başlayarak 6. sınıfa değin EÜ’de öğrenimlerine devam eden öğrenciler (n=40798) arasından uygun örnekleme yoluyla seçilen öğrenciler oluşturmuşlardır. Örneklemdeki yeni kayıt yaptıran öğrenciler (n=352) ile öğrenimlerine devam eden öğrenciler (n=1035) 12 fakülte, 4 yüksekokul ve 3 meslek yüksekokulu öğrencileridir. Öğrenimlerine yeni başlayan öğrencilere oryantasyon, öğrenimlerine devam eden öğrencilere ise akademik danışmanlıkla ilgili anket uygulanmıştır. Uygulanan anketler iki farklı zamanda uygulanmışlardır. Birinci uygulamalar 5 Mayıs – 25 Mayıs 2012 tarihleri arasında ve ikinci uygulamalar 15 Kasım – 15 Ocak 2013 tarihleri arasında farklı öğrencilere yapılmıştır. Oryantasyon gereksinimi ile ilgili bulgulara göre; birinci uygulamaların yapıldığı dönem başlarında öğrenciler barınma-sağlık gibi temel gereksinimlerine önem vermiş ve bölümleriyle ilgili bilgileri hızla öğrenmek istemiş, güz döneminin sonuna doğru ise kendilerini geliştirmeye yönelik bilgileri öğrenmeye daha çok gereksinim duymuş olabilirler. Kişisel gelişimle ilgili bulgulara göre özellikle yeni kayıt yaptıran öğrencilerin kariyer planlama becerileri ve çeşitli kişisel gelişim konularına (stresle başetme, girişkenlik, karar verme, etkili zaman yönetimi gibi) önem verdikleri söylenebilir. Daha az olmakla birlikte, öğrenimlerine devam eden öğrencilerin de bu yönde gereksinimleri olduğu söylenebilir. Akademik danışmanlık gereksinimi ile ilgili bulgulara göre; genel olarak, EÜ öğrencilerinin akademik danışmanlık hizmetlerinden memnun olmadıkları ve öğrencilerin akademik danışmanlarından çok yararlanamadıkları söylenebilir.
