In view of the problems traditional teaching mode, SPOC (small private online course)-based hybrid mode and practice exploration in circuit analysis course were carried out among 19-level undergraduate students electrical engineering its automation conjunction with school’s platform project Circuit Analysis. The shows that SPOC-based has realized transformation from teacher teaching-centered to...

his research studies the preferred learning style of both teacher and students in subject Additional Mathematics. The study focuses on two types styles: student-centered teaching teacher-centered teaching. involved 200 between ages 12 17 years old. A modified Principle Adult Learning Scale (PALS) developed by Gary J. Conti was used to assess perception toward their teacher’s styles. data analys...

In writing applications to supplement PeopleSoft functionality at the University of Wisconsin-Madison, we were reminded that a user-centered iterative approach was the only way to ensure success. But what strategies can system designers employ to truly work from a user perspective? This paper will discuss our approach and its results. Electronic collaboration between the Graduate School and 120...

In Croatian classrooms it is possible to observe teaching scenarios that follow the features of constructivist and traditional teaching theories and many variants and combinations of teaching didactics that are student centered and those that are teacher centered. Teachers struggle to find their way in the selection and design of a media environment that fulfils the developmental needs and ways...

Academics’ conceptions of teaching (ACTs) and academics’ approaches (ATAs) are essential factors in informing behaviors. However, empirical evidence from longitudinal research exploring the causal link between ACTs ATAs is lacking. In current study, we employed a cross-lagged panel model approach three waves to assess four hypotheses (i.e. stability, causal, reversed, reciprocal models) concern...

This note reflects on similarities between best practice in teaching mathematics and in coaching children's soccer. The focus is on two examples: The key role, importance, and design of problem solving activities, and the necessary restraint on what kind of feedback and corrections to provide in a student centered classroom or practice. A central observation is that, in the end, learning and te...

Typically, an introductory programming course is a required course for business college undergraduate students majoring in information systems. Different instructors may have different approaches to teaching this course: Some give lectures and assign programming exercises, while others only assign programming exercises without giving lectures. This research deliberately compared the effects of ...

Gender differences have attracted attention in today’s educational research and practice. Very few studies, however, explore the gender differences in the use of technology in higher education. The authors conducted a study on technology adoption at a large Canadian university. One of its purposes was to inform our understanding of how gender matters in the process of technology adoption in pos...

China was accepted as provisional status of the Washington Accord with full voting rights in 2013. After that, the major of "Pharmaceutical Engineering" in Beijing University of Chemical Technology applied for the engineering accreditation first as an example in China. The graduate attribute (GA) is the most important to judge whether a major can pass the accreditation. Biochemistry plays an im...
