Understanding Lecturers＇ Well-being From the Aspects of Self-determination Theory

There are five changes in higher education across the world in the 21st century. The five changes include changes in the university students, changes in the professoriate, changes in academic administration, intemationalisation, and assessment of academic work. These changes are evident in higher education in China. The pressure of the changes -on lecturers will have effects on the wellbeing of lecturers. The study discusses the wellbeing under the Self-determination Theory. This theory views wellbeing as a state of happiness. This theory also proposes that people＇s intrinsic goals like personal growth, meaningful relationships, and community contributions can enhance the satisfaction of three basic needs--need for autonomy, need for competence, and need for relatedness. In this way, lecturers can experience a sense of wellbeing. The findings of the study are significant for leaders in higher education who need to implement policies that foster effective work environments.

Improving Quality of Education by Evaluating the Capacity of Lecturers Using a Web Based System

Evaluating the capacity of lecturer is the key to improve quality of education by improving lecturer capacity in higher education institution. Lecturer’s capacity has been evaluated using different parameters in Assosa University, Ethiopia. Mandatorily, lecturers are evaluated using printed check list. For the last few years we observed that, the lecturer efficiency score is found on the shelf and not checked by anyone to know the gaps and to establish follow-up system. The use of intranet based web system is better to use lecturer’s efficiency result to monitor their performance and to establish follow-up mechanism. In this study, a prototype of web based yearbook efficiency management system for evaluating and monitoring the performance of lecturers was designed and developed. The evaluation process in the system was presented according to the university evaluation format. The output generated by the proposed system can be used by lecturers, HoD, HRM and academic managers to monitor teaching performance.

Increasing Lecturer Competence as the Quality Assurance of Lecturer Performance

Lectureship is a strategic position in supporting the process and results of the overall educational system. The lecturer＇s professional competence or lecturers＇ ability in mastering the teaching content and method affects the lecturers＇ performances （related to the abilities in teaching, researching, and public servicing）; education and teaching is one of the responsibilities of university which focus on the implementation of teaching and learning process. This implies that the performance of a professor will have a lot of meaningful influence on realization of educational performance. In this connection, the performance of a lecturer as educators must be effectively realized so as to support the dynamics and effectiveness of the educational process. Meanwhile, lecturers＇ personal competence （personal competence or authority, maturity, and model of lecturers and also adjustment of lecturers＇ characteristic and working performances which are appropriate with their competences demand）, which include： skill practices, behavior, creativity, and self-development efforts and decreasing some weaknesses which are not appropriate with competences affects the lecturers＇ performances. The Quality Assurance System （MSS） is a management system to direct and control an organization in making a policy, target, plan, and quality process and procedure and also its continual improvement implementation, which consist an organization structure, responsibility, processes, procedure and resources which are used to reach the standard which has been settled based on stakeholders and organization＇s need and requirements. The quality assurance （QA） in an organization is an internal and external demand. The QA is a routine task and has to be done continually and it is not an ad hoc activity. A lecturer＇s competence is a lecturer＇s ability in implementing his obligation appropriately. In this case, the lecturer＇s competence will have an impact on lecturer＇s performances and achievement and will give a contribution to a quality of a university and its alumni. A lecturer＇s performance will give a big impact on the education implementation effectively. A lecturer＇s performance as an educator should be accomplished effectively so that it will be able to support the dynamic and effectiveness of education process.

CBL教学模式在医学影像学中的应用

近年来,多媒体及网络信息技术快速普及,医院数字化、网络化的进程,使得医学教育也发生了深刻变革。传统的课堂学习模式（lecture based learning,LBL）已经逐渐被淘汰,注重实践技能训练日益成为教学的重点。医学影像科图像归档和传输系统（picture archiving and communication system,PACS）作为医学影像信息化的标志之一,为医学影像学教学改革提供了先进的硬件条件。

以问题为向导的学习结合以病例为基础的学习教学模式在口腔颌面医学影像诊断学的应用

口腔颌面医学影像学是口腔基础医学过渡到口腔临床医学的桥梁课程之一,是将理论知识转化为实践能力的重要课程之一,目前主要有3种授课方法：分别为以授课为基础的学习（lecture-based learning,LBL）、以问题为向导的学习（problembased learning,PBL）及以病例为基础的学习（casebased learning,CBL）,各有优势和不足,

小学数学微课的应用与建设

＂微课＂（Micro lecture）是由美国圣胡安学院高级教学设计师David Penrose首创的,它以短小的教学视频为主要载体,记录教师在课堂或实践教学过程中围绕某个知识点或教学环节展开精辟的教与学的过程。＂微课＂的核心要素是微教学视频,一般以5~8分钟为宜,内容力求＂短小精炼＂,要求切题迅速,主题突出,条理清晰,语言得体。＂微课＂的选材角度开放,可以是讲解类、答疑类、实验类或活动类等等,具有相对的独立性、完整性、针对性和示范性。

PBL教学法在护理专业《人体解剖学》教学中的应用

以问题为基础的学习（problem-based learning,PBL）教学模式是1969年由美国Howard Barrows在加拿大Mc Master大学首创的一种教学方法,与以讲授为基础的学习（lecture-based learning,LBL）教学方法相比,PBL教学法更加重视学生综合能力的培养,包括学生的自主学习能力、问题分析能力、团队合作能力等。目前我国护理教育中应用PBL教学改革进行了大量的研究．但在高职护理课程中应用PBL的研究较少。本研究将PBL教学法引入高职护理《人体解剖学》课程，取得了较好的教学效果。

Simulation of the Thermal Environment and Velocity Distribution in a Lecture Hall

The rational design of heating ventilation and air conditioning systems is an important means to achieve energy conservation and sustainable development.The simulation of air-conditioning systems with finite element methods has gradually become an important auxiliary means of complex airspace design.In this paper,a k-εturbulence model is used to conduct 3D simulations and optimize the summer air conditioning system of a lecture hall.Various conditions are considered in terms of fresh air temperature and flow rate towards the end to improve comfort.The approach used in this paper could also be used in the future as an auxiliary model to promote the design of other lecture halls and ladder classrooms.
