Evaluation of Project-based Teaching Quality Based on SBM-DEA
Get PDFImproving the quality of project-based teaching can have several benefits for students, including the development of hands-on skills, expanded thinking abilities, a better understanding of real life situations, building connection between individuals and society, and internalizing knowledge. Therefore, conducting a scientific evaluation of quality of project-based teaching is crucial. In this study, the focus was on the process of project-based teaching, involving 120 computer science and technology students from four universities in Hainan Province. The researchers utilized the slacks-based measure and data envelopment analysis (SBM-DEA) model to measure learning efficiency of these students. Additionally, the study analyzed the insufficient investment in project-based teaching in the four universities and identified the process factors affecting quality of project-based teaching. The results show that out of the 120 students, only 24 students achieved a learning efficiency of 1, accounting for only 20% of the total. This indicates that although project-based teaching is implemented in the surveyed schools, the comprehensive improvement of students’ learning efficiency has not been achieved. The two main factors contributing to the low quality of were identified as project-based teaching aids (X-2) and project-based teaching experience (X-3). The findings of this study hold important reference value for optimizing the project-based teaching process, identifying key factors of project-based teaching quality, and promoting the adoption of project-based teaching in higher engineering education to accelerate teaching mode reform

Transforming Healthcare: Leveraging Vision-Based Neural Networks for Smart Home Patient Monitoring
Get PDFImage captioning is a promising technique for remote monitoring of patient behavior, enabling healthcare providers to identify changes in patient routines and conditions. In this study, we explore the use of transformer neural networks for image caption generation from surveillance camera footage, captured at regular intervals of one minute. Our goal is to develop and evaluate a transformer neural network model, trained and tested on the COCO (common objects in context) dataset, for generating captions that describe patient behavior. Furthermore, we will compare our proposed approach with a traditional convolutional neural network (CNN) method to highlight the prominence of our proposed approach. Our findings demonstrate the potential of transformer neural networks in generating natural language descriptions of patient behavior, which can provide valuable insights for healthcare providers. The use of such technology can allow for more efficient monitoring of patients, enabling timely interventions when necessary. Moreover, our study highlights the potential of transformer neural networks in identifying patterns and trends in patient behavior over time, which can aid in developing personalized healthcare plans
Mobiles & ICT Based Interventions for Learning Difficulties in Geometry
Get PDFThe difficulty faced by students in Geometry (ageometria) is a relatively new learning difficulty that has not been extensively explored. Early detection, as well as intervention, is very important. Students with dyslexia, like all students with special learning difficulties, face difficulties in working memory. In addition, solving a geometric problem requires comprehension of pronunciation (in which students with dyslexia lag) and numerical processing (in which students with dyscalculia lag). For this reason, this article presents interventions aimed at improving working memory or improving reading or numerical skills, with the help of new technologies
International Comparison of Higher Education Representatives’ and Students’ Attitudes Towards Feedback Learning
Get PDFThe study was conceptualized as a pilot to establish a methodology for comprehensive research with respect to the impact of the proposed learning design on learning outcomes. The aim of the paper is to find out how representatives of higher education institutions and master's students in engineering studies in the Czech Republic and in the countries of Belgium, Germany, Greece, Netherlands, Poland perceive the absence of feedback learning aspects by monitoring the progress of learning. There are many findings on the learning process documented in the literature, but less available are studies of a perceptual nature that identify differences in the attitudes of students and university representatives. The differences between Czech students and International Business Week (IBW) students studying in the Czech Republic and the differences between students and higher education institutions in and outside the Czech Republic are analysed using the Mann-Whitney U test. The strongest absence of the aspects examined by the researchers was found among students from the IBW program studying at Czech higher education institutions. Czech students are the least lacking in these aspects. From the perspective of higher education institutions, partner schools from other countries perceive the absence of the examined aspects in teaching less than higher education institutions from the Czech Republic. The study has theoretical implications for the scientific field, as it has laid the conceptual basis for further research. The study has practical implications for the way higher education teaching is conducted
