Abstract
The study emphasizes on discussion the actual situation in the self-directed learning tendency and teaching effectiveness of middle and elementary school teachers, and to analyze the relationship between the self-directed learning tendency and teaching effectiveness among middle and elementary school teachers. Research objectives include understanding the present state in the self-directed learning tendency and teaching effectiveness of middle and elementary school teachers, analyzing the related factors of influencing the self-directed learning tendency and teaching effectiveness among middle and elementary school teachers, discussing the relationship between the self-directed learning tendency and teaching effectiveness among middle and elementary school teachers, and then based on results, presenting suggestions to educational administration organizations, schools, middle and elementary school teachers and succeeding researchers for references.
For achieving the above objectives, the research designs “questionnaires of the self-directed learning tendency and teaching effectiveness for middle and elementary school teachers” by theoretical basis in discussing related literatures. Using mail questionnaire survey, the research selects middle and elementary school teachers in Taipei County by layer random sampling. Totals are 800 questionnaires distributed, 712 feedback and 712 valid questionnaires. The effective sample feedback rate is 89%. After statistics analysis, there are five concluded results as followings:
1. Middle and elementary school teachers have a very high self-directed learning tendency. Teachers show best in “learning motivation”, followed by “self cognition” and lack of “independent learning”.
2. The overall teaching effectiveness is good among middle and elementary school teachers. The “teaching skills and strategies” shows the best, followed by “teaching self-effectiveness belief”, and “student’s learning performance evaluation” needed to be strengthened.
3. Middle and elementary school teachers in different ages, teaching years, job functions and school locations have significant differences of the self-directed learning tendency.
4. Middle and elementary school teachers in different ages, teaching years and job functions have significant differences of the teaching effectiveness.
5. There is a significant positive correlation between the self-directed learning tendency and teaching effectiveness in middle and elementary school teachers. The higher self-directed learning tendency is, the higher teaching effectiveness will be.
The research proposes following suggestions based on conclusions above:
1. Suggestions to educational administration organizations
(1) Plan correlated and advanced study activities of specialized knowledge needed in teaching.
(2) Develop advance study channels and establish professional resource websites.
(3) Enhance the administrative coordination and incentive system, and establish a teacher learning and counseling consultation center.
(4) Shorten the urban and rural disparity as well as subsidy educational and cultural disadvantage areas.
2. Suggestions to schools
(1) Establish study resources and environments in an open and democratic way.
(2) Encourage to form a study team, and hold teaching workshops and study groups periodically.
(3) Encourage teachers to use web resources for advancing study and hold correlated web resources workshops.
(4) Enhance administration in coordination with teaching opinions, and build an open atmosphere in school study organizations.
3. Suggestions to middle and elementary school teachers
(1) Foster teachers’ self-directed learning abilities by advanced researches as well as active and positive learning.
(2) Carry out the lifelong study as well as active and enriched teaching knowledge to promote specialized teaching abilities.
(3) Utilize resources of administrative organizations and schools to expand teachers’ professional performances.
(4) Display teachers’ higher teaching effectiveness by accepting experiences, supporting less advanced, and benefiting from teaching and learning.
4. Suggestions to succeeding researchers
Propose referable research suggestions to succeeding researchers by research objects, variances and tools separately.
Key words: self-directed learning tendency, teaching effectiveness
The Development and Transformation of the Religious Non-Profit Organization-A Case Study of the Cheng Feng Teenager's School
No full text[[abstract]]This dissertation aims to study into the development and transformation of Cheng Feng Teenager’s School that was established in 1996 as religious non-profit organizations in Taipei. The study aimed to explore three aspects, such as management and operation of NPO, belief of Christianity, and supply of intermediate education. Taking the perspectives of historical sociology, a multi-method research which include the in depth interview and document analysis is conducted from July 2006 to April 2007.
The findings are highlighted as following:
1. In the contemporary Taiwanese society, the religious NPOs have a significant role to play in the intermediate education.
2. From 1996 to 2006 the transformation of religious NPOs has characterized as followings:
(1) Religious belief is the springhead of the operation of this Teenager’s School and the supply of the intermediate education of this Teenager’s School.
(2) The Constitution of the Teenager’s School has changed from a “religious establishment”to“pure institution and from “pure school” to the combination of education and social work.
(3) The management of School has changed from personal decision-making to team working and fundraising has changed from individual to collaboration with other institutions.
(4) The scheme has been launched to recruit and training volunteers.
(5) The nexus of social network deployed by the School has changed from the Christians to the public. For instance, the relationship between the School and government has sifted from lobbyist to cooperation, and been equally treated by the secondary school. Furthermore, the School has a close relation with the social institution
(6) Generally speaking, both the Christianity and universal values has been embedded in the practice of intermediate education.
Finally, we suggest that the Cheng Feng Teenager’s School should cooperate with the government, the secondary school, and the NPOs within third sector in order to provide the education for the youth who has been drop out from school.

On convergent numerical algorithms for unsymmetric collocation
No full textIn this paper, we are interested in some convergent formulations for the unsymmetric collocation method or the so-called Kansa's method. We review some newly developed theories on solvability and convergence. The rates of convergence of these variations of Kansa's method are examined and verified in arbitrary-precision computations. Numerical examples confirm with the theories that the modified Kansa's method converges faster than the interpolant to the solution; that is, exponential convergence for the multiquadric and Gaussian radial basis functions (RBFs). Some numerical algorithms are proposed for efficiency and accuracy in practical applications of Kansa's method. In double-precision, even for very large RBF shape parameters, we show that the modified Kansa's method, through a subspace selection using a greedy algorithm, can produce acceptable approximate solutions. A benchmark algorithm is used to verify the optimality of the selection process
