Measuring Teachers’ Motivation Toward Professional Development through Integration of Mobile Technology
Get PDFThe integration of technology in teacher training is an integral part of motivation in the 21st century. The integration of mobile technology in teacher training and professional development can bring about a meaningful change in their career. This study examines how, in the academic environment of Sindh, Pakistan, in-service training sessions contribute to the professional skill development and motivation of instructors. The study has two primary aims. The first involved examining how teacher training programs affected instructors’ willingness to continue in the classroom and to enroll in training programs. The second involved examining how these sessions affected teachers’ ability to advance their careers and develop their confidence and self-efficacy. Data for the study were gathered using a survey research approach. To gather information from 450 teachers in Sindh, Pakistan—both private and public—a structured questionnaire was created. The information gathered from the survey was examined using statistical analysis. The study’s findings demonstrate that in-service teachers are not as motivated or proficient in their professional development as they should be by training sessions through the integration of mobile technology. The main motivators for the instructors to attend these workshops are their financial and social advantages. According to the study, several essential elements of successful teacher preparation are absent from these in-service training sessions. As a result, the study suggests that training programs abandon their conventional methods and modernize to better meet the demands of teachers today through the use of technology, which most teachers avoid using. More than merely formal meetings, training sessions should be scheduled to prepare instructors for actual learning objectives. Future academics of teacher training programs may find value in the study’s conclusions with the application of mobile technology by providing appropriate pre-training sessions for the use of technology

Design and Comparison of Low-Cost Urine Level Detection Systems for Critical Patients
Get PDFWith the rise in size of the elderly population suffering from urinary incontinence and the number of bedridden patients, individuals providing assistance to the aforementioned groups suffer from the “caregiving burden” due to the time-demanding nature of home health care. The current study proposes a low-cost Internet of Things (IoT)-based urine monitoring system for detecting a critical urine level in a urine collection container and sending an SMS text message to alert the caregiver. Remotely informing the caregiver of the patient’s urine level provides freedom of mobility. The proposed system consists of an Arduino microcontroller connected to a sensor measuring system and a SIM800L module with a SIM card. Three sensor measuring systems are suggested: Water Level Sensor, Ultrasonic Distance Sensor, and Weighing Scale Sensor. To compare the performance of the systems, 110 detection recordings from each system are used to construct a confusion matrix. The accuracy, precision, specificity, recall, and F-measure are computed for each system. Numerical and graphical analysis of the measurements show that the Water Level Sensor measurement system (accuracy: 0.96, precision: 0.98, specificity: 0.98, recall: 0.95, F-measure: 0.96) is the most reliable system, followed by the Weighing Scale Sensor (accuracy: 0.93, precision: 1, specificity: 0.936, recall: 0.88, F-measure: 0.93)
Future of Work: Working from Home. Empirical Evidence from the Chinese Economy
Get PDFThe present analysis elucidates the estimates of the proportion of the non-agricultural workforce that can potentially work from home (WFH) in China. The current analysis explains the estimates of China’s non-agricultural workforce’s ability to WFH to address the inadequate research on remote work adaptability in emerging economies. The considerable demographic and regional disparities in WFH potential we found are noted here. To measure the possibility of WFH, our empirical outcomes revealed that the probability of working remotely from home is higher for youth and middle-aged workers residing in urban areas and belonging to nuclear families. Education is observed to strongly interconnect with working remotely—individuals with higher education are more likely to WFH. In addition, workers working in white-collar occupations have a higher probability of WFH than those in lower-skilled occupations. Further investment in developing information and communication technology (ICT) infrastructure in the economy to improve the productivity of the country’s workforce is an essential area of policy action that emerges from the analysis
The Problem and Countermeasures of Insufficient Digitalization of Customer Service in Chinese Rural Banks: Taking Z Rural Bank as an Example
Get PDFWith the progress of society and the rapid development of technology, people’s demand for online and digital banking is also constantly increasing. However, there are factors such as insufficient technology investment and a lack of business technology composite talents in rural banks, which have led to serious deficiencies in the online and digital customer service. In order to solve this problem, this paper analyzes and summarizes the factors that contribute to the insufficient online and digital capabilities of rural banks through literature review. Based on the analysis results, relevant hypotheses are proposed, and Z Rural Bank is taken as an example to collect relevant data through online questionnaires. Multiple linear regression models and data analysis software are used to calculate the collected data. After qualitative and quantitative analysis, the conclusion is drawn that the number of composite talents in the bank, the level of technological investment in the bank, the level of understanding and mastery of digitalization among bank employees, and the strength of bank outsourcing companies have an impact on the insufficient online and digital capabilities of rural banks. Based on the above research conclusions, corresponding countermeasures and suggestions are proposed. Through the research results of this paper, we hope to provide some reference for the online and digital transformation and development of China’s banking and financial institutions, especially rural banks
