Effectiveness of Computer Application in Improving Reading Skills in Chinese Language and Towards Post-Attitudes as Home-based Learning
Get PDFBackground: As technology continues to advance, language acquisition methodologies have increasingly been integrated into computer-assisted language learning (CALL) systems. In the context of Chinese language acquisition, characters are structured in three phases: the overall character, its components, and its strokes. Proficiency in identifying and distinguishing individual characters hinges upon understanding their structural composition.
Objective: This study aims to explore the impact of a computer application on Chinese language reading skills and students' perceptions regarding the utilization of computer applications for home-based learning.
Method: A total of 60 students engaged in home-based learning using a designated computer application were involved in the study. Employing a quantitative approach with a quasi-experimental design, the study assessed the effects of the intervention.
Results and Conclusion: Following one month of home-based learning through computer applications, participants exhibited higher gain scores in reading skill tests, albeit the differences were not statistically significant. Students expressed a preference for and perceived greater ease in acquiring reading skills through computer applications compared to traditional methods. Furthermore, the integration of computer applications in teaching and learning processes demonstrated the potential to enhance students' motivation, interest, and confidence in language acquisition, albeit without a notable impact on attention levels. The study underscores the pedagogical promise of Computer-Assisted Language Learning (CALL) and advocates for further research endeavors in this domain
The Boundaries of Gravitational Wave: How Far Could We Reach?
Get PDFAdvanced scientific instruments have recently detected gravitational waves, which were predicted by Albert Einstein in his general theory of relativity. Astronomers are afforded a novel method of investigating and comprehending the cosmos because of these ripples in spacetime, which convey information regarding the movements of colossal objects in the universe. Nevertheless, the sensitivity of current detectors, such as LIGO and Virgo, is restricted to a maximum distance of several billion light-years, which limits their detection. Future technological advancements and the development of more sensitive, larger detectors hold the potential to detect gravitational waves from even greater distances in the future, despite this constraint. Scientists aspire to uncover new secrets about our universe and potentially detect gravitational waves from the edge of the observable universe by pushing the boundaries of what is currently feasible

The benefits of big data application in education have also been well recognized by educators; schools and other education institutions are increasing endeavors to integrate big data technology into instruction
Developing Effective Scales for the Improvement of Preschool Education Assessment in the New Era
Get PDFEducation a human activity aimed at promoting all-round growth of the individuals, is an inherently complicated process. Education assessment, an essential component of the process, plays a crucial role in ensuring the healthy development of the educational system (Yang, 2007). Effective education assessment is based on objective descriptions of the characteristics and details of the educational activity in examination. The scales can serve as objective, accurate, and valid tools for this purpose (Luo et al., 2009). As a means of quantitative evaluation, a scale can systematically gather, organize, and analyze relevant data on a specific educational activity using a set of established metrics, for the purposes of providing educators with intuitive information on student learning outcomes, teaching efficacy, curricular effectiveness, and the legitimacy of educational resource distribution. Such a data-informed assessment instrument can facilitate decision-makers identifying strengthens and weaknesses in current educational practices as well as making evidence-based adjustments of educational policies (Yan, 2003)

The Effects of Metacognitive Teaching on Student Academic Performance: A Meta-analysis of Relevant Experimental and Quasi-experimental Studies over the Past 20 Years
Get PDFThe ability to “learn to how to learn,” by common consent, is one of the key competences that students need to succeed in the 21st century. The concept of metacognition, viewed as central to this ability, was first advanced by Flavell, a cognitive psychologist, to denote the individual’s knowledge and understanding of cognitive processes. It is a higher-order thinking ability, involving the learner’s active control of cognitive processes as well use of metacognitive support to plan and adjust learning. Metacognitive teaching is a pedagogy that requires the teacher to guide students to contemplate on their learning process and actively solve problems. It is also a practical instructional framework that consists of students, teachers, metacognitive teaching strategies, and the learning environment. This study explores the impact of metacognitive teaching on student academic performance and related moderating variables using the meta-analytic technique. It aims to provide valuable insights to educators for their appropriate and flexible adoption of metacognitive teaching in education and to contribute to the advancement of the key competence-focused curriculum reform
