[[alternative]]A STUDY ON ELEMENTARY EDUCATION IN CHING TAIWAN (1684-1895)
No full text[[abstract]]The main purposes of the study are:
1. To understand the origin of the institutions of the elementary education in Ching Taiwan.
2. To inquire the development and changes of the institutions of elementary education in Ching Taiwan.
3. To discuss the contributions of the elementary education to the transmission of Taiwanese culture and education.
Historical method was undertaken. First-hand and second-hand ones sources were used, such as official documents, private materials, and publications.
The main findings of this study are as follows:
1. Community schools (She-sheh), charity schools (I-sheh), and private schools were the three major patterns of the institutions of the elementary education in Ching Taiwan
2. She-sheh emerged from the Yuan dynasty, I-sheh from the Song dynasty, and private school from the Han dynasty. She-sheh and I-sheh were established and sponsored by the public, but private schools did not so.
3. In Ching Taiwan, the total numbers of She-sheh were about 273, I-sheh about 83, and private schools about 1127. She-sheh played the major role before Emperor Chang-Long, but private schools took its place after Emperor Chia-Ching. As to I-sheh had much less influence than the others.
4.Compared to the formal schools, county schools and academies, private schools played a significant role in the educational development in Ching Taiwan, which importance should not be ignored any more.

No full textFeasibility of Software-Based Duty Cycling of GPS for Trajectory-Based Services
No full textEnergy-efficient localization is increasingly important for many types of smartphone apps. The research community has argued that fixed duty cycling of GPS is not a good choice for trajectory-based services concerning route accuracy. In this paper, we describe the design and implementation of a highly accurate map matching and path construction algorithm. Furthermore, with thorough field experiments, we show that fixed duty cycling of a smartphone GPS receiver is a feasible approach for trajectory-based services, and it can achieve considerable energy conservation without sacrificing much route accuracy. When increasing the GPS sampling period beyond 120 seconds, it saves at least 78% energy in comparison to continuous GPS sampling, while the loss of route accuracy tends to be stable around 23%.Li, Xiaohan, Yuan, Fengpeng, & Lindqvist, Janne.

Yuan Dao tracing Dao to its source
No full textYuan Dao is a subversive document that challenged the autocratic aspirations of one of China's most powerful emperors. Its presentation set in motion a family tragedy in which the compiler, the most celebrated patron of literature of his age, fell victim to the expansionist politics of his uncle, the "Martial" emperor. Yuan Dao, complete here with English translation and critical Chinese text, is a remarkable distillation of earlier Daoist ideas found in the popular Daodejing (Tao Te Ching) and Shuangzi (Chuang-tzu) texts
[[alternative]]The Verification of English Learning Process Model and A Study of the Effects of Theme-Constructive Language Learning Strategies on English Performance
No full text[[abstract]]The purposes of this study were: (1) to verify the goodness of fit between empirically observed data and English Learning Process Model proposed by the author; (2) to investigate students’ errors in learning English with the use of qualitative analysis, and further to explore the ways how different students construct English concepts; (3) to design a teaching program based on "theme-constructive language learning strategies" (4) to examine the effects of the "theme-constructive language learning strategies" teaching program developed by the author; (5) to analyze the learning process of the students with the use of qualitative analysis and portfolio process assessment.
In order to accomplish these purposes, the whole study was divided into three parts. In Study I the researcher proposed an English Learning Process Model which included the components of affective reaction, action control, metacognition, and learning performance and verified the goodness of fit of the English Learning Process Model. The participants were 449 eighth-grade students from nine junior high schools in northern, central, and southern Taiwan. The instruments employed in this study include: Affective Reaction Inventory, Action Control Inventory, Metacognition Inventory, and English Achievement Test. Except the Chi square test that was easily influenced by the sample size, the results indicated that the English Learning Process Model fitted the observed data well in preliminary, overall, and internal structure model fit criteria.
In Study II, the researcher first investigated students’ errors in learning English with the use of qualitative analysis involving thinking-aloud and thinking-by-questioning methods. The participants were 15 eighth-grade students from three groups with high, middle, and low ability in English. The results indicated that mother language played a key role in students’ English learning process and their errors could be classified into two patterns: cross-language errors (interference, neglecting of the rules) and universal errors (overgeneralization, overuse). Then, according to the results of Study I and error analysis, the researcher designed a teaching program of theme-constructive language learning strategies and examined the effects of the program. The participants were 147 eight-grade students belonging to experimental group (A, B) and control group (A, B). The instruments employed in Study II include: Affective Reaction Inventory, Action Control Inventory, Metacognition Inventory, English Achievement Tests (Pretest and Protest). The data thus obtained were analyzed by three-way mixed-design ANOVA. The results of Study II were presented as follows:
1. "The Teaching Program of Theme-Constructive Language Learning Strategies" could help the experimental group maintain their performance in affective reaction(value, expectation, and achievement motivation ), action control(cognitive control and others control), metacognition(self-monitoring, self- evaluating, self-modification, and strategizing ), and English learning performance(reading, writing, and speaking). But the performance of the control group in these inventories and tests were declining.
2. The performance of the students in high-ability group (A) and low-ability (B) group was on the decline from the listening pretest to listening protest.
3. The oral performance of the low-ability students in experimental group was better than their counterparts in control group.
In Study III the researcher analyzed students’ learning process in English more deeply with the use of qualitative analysis and portfolio process assessment. The participants were 72 eight-grade students from experimental group (A, B). The data collected were analyzed from five aspects: affective reaction, action control, metacognition, learning performance, and case developmental process. The results indicated that after the teaching, the students in experimental group A could use the strategies to retain their learning intentions and be active to monitor, evaluate, and modify their English learning. The students in experimental group B were gradually interested in learning English. They were aware of their learning and tried to concentrate themselves, and then used the strategies to help them evaluate and modify what they learned. In short, from the analysis of students’ English learning process, the students in experimental group (A, B) became more confident and willing to learn English after the teaching program of theme-constructive language learning strategies.
To conclude, the results of Study I, II, and III support the effects of the "English Learning Process Model" proposed. Based on the results of the study, the researcher also provided a discussion in which some recommendations have been made regarding instructional assistance and future studies.
