The Influence of BYOD on Results of Students' Learning
Get PDFThis work analyzes the influence and efficiency of BYOD for learning students and academic perfection. The relevance of mobile technologies for learning has been substantiated. The influence of BYOD on academic performance of undergraduate students in terms of their test scores and final course marks, as well as on quality of work on selected course projects and on level of satisfaction with the BYOD course, has been experimentally studied. It has been proved that BYOD exerts positive influence on learning and academic achievements of students measured by their academic test scores, by their final marks and quality of their classroom work, as well as that the implementation of BYOD will stimulate and motivate students, thus affecting their level of involvement and creation of independent learning. The experimental results should be used as a guide for persons making decisions as well as for practical specialists in the field of education, especially in the area of BYOD and mobile learning, which will save significant expenses for stationary learning (for instance, concerning desktop computers, projectors, etc.). Scientific novelty of the studies is that the influence of BYOD on academic performance of students in terms of their test scores and final course marks, as well as on quality of students’ work on selected course projects and on level of satisfaction with the BYOD course, has been comprehensively analyzed

Modelo explicativo de la autoeficacia académica: autorregulación de actividades, afecto positivo y personalidad
Get PDFAcademic self-efficacy is a powerful predictor of academic success, yet there are several factors that predispose it. Because of this, an explanatory model is proposed using the self-regulation of academic activities, positive affection, and personality. Hierarchical multiple linear regression was used to support the predictive proposal of the model. The Specific Perceived Self-Efficacy Scale of Academic Situations, The Scale of Positive and Negative Experience, Subscale Self-Regulation of Activities of the Academic Procrastination Scale, and Mini International Personality Item Pool (MINI-IPIP) were used. High correlations were obtained in the self-regulation of activities, positive affection, and personality (extraversion, concientousness and openness to experience) to academic self-efficacy. The final predictive model explained 30.1% of the total variance of academic self-efficacy. In conclusion, the model proposed through literature review is a strong predictor of academic self-efficacy and promotes the development of self-effective beliefs.La autoeficacia académica es un potente predictor del éxito académico, sin embargo, existen diversos factores que lo predisponen. Debido a ello se propone un modelo explicativo basado en la autorregulación de actividades académicas, afecto positivo y personalidad. Se utilizó regresión lineal múltiple jerárquico para sustentar la propuesta predictiva del modelo. Se utilizaron la Escala de Autoeficacia Percibida Específica de Situaciones Académicas, The Scale of Positive and Negative Experience, Subescala Autorregulación de actividades de la Escala de Procrastinación Académica, y Mini International Personality Item Pool (MINI-IPIP). Se obtuvieron altas correlaciones en la autorregulación de actividades, afecto positivo y personalidad (extraversión, responsabilidad y apertura) para con la autoeficacia académica. El modelo predictivo final, explicó el 30.1% de la varianza total de la autoeficacia académica. En conclusión, el modelo propuesto mediante revisión de la literatura es un fuerte predictor de la autoeficacia académica, y promueve el desarrollo de creencias auto eficaces
Analyzing the Structure of Administrative System of Hormozgan and its Adaptation to the Perspective of 1404 with the Land Use Planning Approach
Get PDFThe present study aimed to analyze the structure of administrative systems in Hormozgan and its adaptation to the 1404 perspective with the land use planning (land preparation) approach. This paper is applied in purpose and is descriptive-analytical in nature. The statistical population of this research is Hormozgan as one of the Iran provinces. In order to collect information on the theoretical foundations and research literature, library resources, articles and required books were used and indicators of the administrative system structures (staff, development budget, planning system, spatial structure and free zones) were identified. The required quantitative data was extracted and classified based on census and housing results during 2006- 2017 and after quantitative calculations, they were analyzed in order to adjust with the 1404 goals. In order to analyze the information, time series and factor analysis methods and central tendencies and dispersion were used. SPSS version 24, MINTAB version 17, AMOS version 24 and excel were used for data analysis. Based on the results, considering that there was a significant difference between the value of the mean calculated for each of the factors of the administrative system structure during 2006-2017 (the current administrative system of Hormozgan) and the values related to the administrative system of perspective 1404, so it can be said that there is a difference between the current administrative system of Hormozgan and the perspective of 1404 with the land use planning approach
Investigating the Financial Crisis of the Iranian Stock Exchange Using Transfer Entropy Method and comparing it with the Dow Jones Financial Market
Get PDFThe focus of the present study is on the financial markets of Iran. In fact, the purpose of the present study is to examine the critical state of the Iranian stock market and compare it with one of the famous American markets called Dow Jones. The purpose of the financial crisis is to examine the effect of the interaction of companies within a market. According to modern financial theory, crisis is a phenomenon of market orientation and finding a negative preferred direction among companies. The stock market data of 180 companies of this market that were active during the period of 2008 to 2019 were used to investigate the financial crisis of the Iranian Stock Exchange. The results show that the average transfer entropy for 180 firms in the Iranian stock market is more random. That is to say, the observed declines do not correspond to the time periods of the crisis in the stock market. Although transfer entropy seems to be a good indicator for determining the period of crisis in the US Dow Jones market, it cannot be an indicator for determining the financial crisis for the Iranian stock market
The impact of economic incentives on population instability in rural settlements (case study: Khoosf county)
Get PDFHoy en día, la inestabilidad de la población es uno de los problemas más importantes en los asentamientos rurales de Irán a pesar de la planificación, el gasto y las grandes inversiones. Dado que la migración rural es por razones lógicas, debemos buscar formas de ralentizar el proceso de migración a las ciudades o reemplazar a los migrantes rurales de los pueblos centrales a pueblos pequeños y aldeas centrales que tienen más instalaciones y servicios y evitan las consecuencias de la migración que impactan negativamente en la población. estructuras económicas de ciudades y pueblos. La investigación se aplica en términos de propósito y naturaleza y es descriptivo-analítico, en términos de metodología. La población consistió en 41 aldeas sobre 100 poblaciones con 4226 hogares y 13892 poblaciones que de acuerdo a la distribución geográfica, categorización poblacional y declive poblacional durante 2006 y 2016, se seleccionó como muestra el 20% de ellos (8 aldeas) con 796 hogares. Se distribuyó un total de 259 cuestionarios (basados en la fórmula de Cochran) entre los hogares de la muestra según el método aleatorio simple. En este estudio, se utilizó la prueba t de una muestra para analizar los datos cuantitativos y la prueba de Friedman para clasificar el efecto de los incentivos económicos sobre la inestabilidad de la población. Con base en los resultados del presente estudio, se puede concluir que los factores económicos (desempleo y bajos ingresos) y la falta de instalaciones y servicios tienen la mayor relación con la inestabilidad de la población en los asentamientos Khoosf
Human Resource Risk Management Framework and Factors Influencing It
Get PDFNowadays, the importance of human resource risk in organizations has greatly increased, and some thinkers refer to it as a core competency and a key responsibility for any human resource professional. Thus, given the importance of the subject of the present article, the aim of this study is to analyze the human resource risk management framework and the factors influencing it. In this regard, using the library method, human resource risk framework was analyzed from the perspective of management science thinkers of Paul and Milcher, Ernst and Young, Meyer, Maenpaa & Voutilainen, Rotarsko, Li and Zhang, Pandey. Then, the factors influencing human resource risk management were identified and mentioned, and Stevens' human resource risk policies and procedures were presented. Then, the perception of risk and the factors influencing attention to risk and action for it were stated. In the final section, theories related to risk perception were discussed in the form of the Wild risk-homeostasis theory (1982) and the Naatanen & Summak zero-risk theory (1976). Studies show that human resource risk management frameworks provide a conceptual model for the systematic development and planning of human resource risk management activities. They are also useful for assessing and evaluating the level of human resource risk. These frameworks provide the basis for planning, evaluating, and implementing human resource risk management
