This paper is a quantitative research-based study of home learning using YouTube. Because of the coronavirus situation in 2020, students were not able to attend school. In “The Plan” section we explain that the authors of this paper made 36 English lesson videos with the Osaka City Board of Education and uploaded them to YouTube for educational purposes. In “The Videos” we discuss the video production details. In the “Dissemination” we reveal that there were 230,000 total views of these videos targeted to 108,073 students. We also show student viewing habits. In the “Analysis” we examine the relationship between video technology and modern education. Our conclusion is that this method is effective initially because the number of views was very high. However, over time, there was a sharp drop in the number of views and this method became much less effective. 本稿はYouTubeを利用した家庭学習の定量的測定に基づく研究ノートである。現代の動画技術と教育の関係性を検証する。2020年の新型コロナウイルスの影響により生徒は登校することができなくなった。本稿の著者は大阪市教育委員会と共同し、36本の英語レッスン動画を作りYouTubeにアップロードした。動画の制作方法については後述する。10万8,073人の生徒がこのビデオを23万回以上視聴したことが明らかになった。視聴傾向として、投稿初期は視聴回数が多く、この方法の有効性が認められた。しかし時間が経つにつれ視聴回数が激減し、この方法の効果が大幅に低下した。

<p>This study was designed to determine the influence of home learning on Chinese preschoolers’ literacy skills is likely to be moderated by the level of teacher’s teaching experience. There were 136 preschoolers aged ranged between three to six years old with their parents and teachers recruited in this study using a Multi-Stage Cluster sampling technique. The results of the Hierarchical Multiple Regression analysis indicate that teacher’s teaching experience has a significant moderating effect on the strengths of the relationship between home learning and preschoolers’ literacy skills. Further research is needed to investigate more deeply to identify whether these relationships are upheld over time and with diverse sample. </p>

While many analysts use PK scales to make claims about what people know and why it matters, others use subjective interviewer assessments. The ANES is a common source of these assessments. The ANES asks its interviewers to offer “a five-level summary evaluation of each respondent’s level of information level.” Interviewers rate each respondent as “very high,” “high,” “average,” “fairly low,” or “very low.” Data from these assessments appear in widely cited academic articles on political ignorance. In one such article, Bartels (1996: 203) argues that this variable’s use is preferable to PK scales. He claims that interviewer assessments are . . . no less (and sometimes more) strongly related than factual information scales are to relevant criterion values such as political interest, education, registration, and turnout (Zaller 1985: 4). Given the added difficulty of making comparisons from one election year to another using scales based on rather different sets of available information items of variable quality, the simpler interviewer ratings seem preferable for my purposes here. . . . Other scholars have augmented the case for using interviewer assessments in attempts to understand the relationship between knowledge and other factors. As Claassen and Highton (2006: 415) write: . . . To measure political information, we rely on NES interviewer ratings of respondents’ levels of political information. This indicator has two primary virtues. First, it is present in each of the surveys we analyze providing a consistent measure across survey years. Second, it has proven to be a valid measure. Bartels used it to provide important insights into public opinion toward … information effects in presidential voting (Bartels, 1996). Given our focus on changing information effects over time, we share the view that because of the “added difficulty of making comparisons from one election year to another using scales based on rather different sets of available information items of variable quality, the simpler interviewer ratings seem preferable.” . . . In a footnote (2006: 415n), they continue the argument: . . . For the purposes of this paper, we also prefer the interviewer rating to measures of policy specific information. . . .

Most studies indicated that the values ​​of atmospheric variables have changed from their general rates due to pollution or global warming etc. Hence, the research indicates the changes of direct solar radiation values ​​over a whole century i.e. from 1900 to 2000 depending on registered data for four cities, namely (Mosul - Baghdad - Rutba - Basra. Moreover, attemptsto correlate the direct solar radiation with the temperature values have been ​​recorded over that period. The results showed that there is a decreasing pattern of radiation quantities over time throughout the study period, where the value of direct radiation over the city of Baghdad 5550 w/m2 was recorded in the year 1900, but this ratio decreased clearly to approximately 5400 w/m2 in the year 2000, which is perhaps due to the increase of general pollution rates in the atmosphere. The results also showed that the city of Rutba recorded the highest annual rate of radiation quantities, and Baghdad with Mosul recorded the lowest radiation ratios compared to the rest of the cities, in addition to that there was a large convergence of radiation ratios between them to some extent. The results showed that there is a sharp drop in radiation ratios, specifically in the years1980and 1990. As for the extent of the relationship for solar radiation with temperature levels throughout the study period, it was found that there is an inverse relationship between them, and this confirms that the cause of high temperatures is not because of increased solar radiation, but it may rather due to other reasons such as increased greenhouse gases.

Abstract- The purpose of the study was to determine if the training perspective on trainers’ methodology had a significant mediating effect on the relationship between competency potential and career progression of the technical vocational trainers in Davao Region, Philippines. The design used was non-experimental quantitative research utilizing correlation technique. Descriptive statistics, pearson r, regression, mediation through sobel test and medgraph were the tools employed to attain the objectives of the study. The 407 respondents were found to show very high levels of competency potential, training perspective and career progression. It was found out that the three variables were significantly related. However, the result failed to achieve full mediation of training perspective on the relationship between the correlated variables. This implies that training perspective only mediated partially the relationship between competency potential and career progression. The result signifies that direct effect on career progression maybe due to the combination of competency potential and other variables not covered in the study.

Intelligence-as-knowledge in adulthood is influenced by individual differences in intelligence-as-process (i.e., fluid intelligence) and in personality traits that determine when, where, and how people invest their intelligence over time. Here, the relationship between two investment traits (i.e., Openness to Experience and Need for Cognition), intelligence-as-process and intelligence-as-knowledge, as assessed by a battery of crystallized intelligence tests and a new knowledge measure, was examined. The results showed that (1) both investment traits were positively associated with intelligence-as-knowledge; (2) this effect was stronger for Openness to Experience than for Need for Cognition; and (3) associations between investment and intelligence-as-knowledge reduced when adjusting for intelligence-as-process but remained mostly significant.

Abstract. Person–job (or needs–supplies) discrepancy/fit theories posit that job satisfaction depends on work supplying what employees want and thus expect associations between having supervisory power and job satisfaction to be more positive in individuals who value power and in societies that endorse power values and power distance (e.g., respecting/obeying superiors). Using multilevel modeling on 30,683 European Social Survey respondents from 31 countries revealed that overseeing supervisees was positively associated with job satisfaction, and as hypothesized, this association was stronger among individuals with stronger power values and in nations with greater levels of power values or power distance. The results suggest that workplace power can have a meaningful impact on job satisfaction, especially over time in individuals or societies that esteem power.

When people are told that their negative memories are worse than other people’s, do they later remember those events differently? We asked participants to recall a recent negative memory then, 24 h later, we gave some participants feedback about the emotional impact of their event – stating it was more or less negative compared to other people’s experiences. One week later, participants recalled the event again. We predicted that if feedback affected how participants remembered their negative experiences, their ratings of the memory’s characteristics should change over time. That is, when participants are told that their negative event is extremely negative, their memories should be more vivid, recollected strongly, and remembered from a personal perspective, compared to participants in the other conditions. Our results provide support for this hypothesis. We suggest that external feedback might be a potential mechanism in the relationship between negative memories and psychological well-being.
