While in universities of China, students do not have strong autonomy in English language learning. The author tries to adopt specific meta-cognitive strategies to facilitate students' autonomy in learning by improving learners' capacities in study planning or management, monitoring and evaluating in learning to raise their consciousness and ability in autonomy, and lay a foundation for life-long learning.展开更多

Therefore, based on the characteristics of LA, ways such as cultivation of LA beliefs and learning strategies, construction of a favorable LA environment and promotion of learner autonomy through teacher autonomy can be employed to foster students'autonomous learning ability.展开更多

For instance, people can use their electronic devices at hand (e.g., Google glasses or Apple watch) to access information they need. However, this '~ubiquitous" service poses challenges to human autonomy. Based on the analysis of the features of pervasive computing, this paper points out the ambiguity between the subject and object of ubiquitous computing and shows technological interventions can affect human autonomy at three levels: technology addiction, the degradation of human capacities, and the reversal of the end and the means caused by the fuzziness of ma^-machine interface. In other words, ubiquitous computing gives people unprecedented convenience, and it also deprives of their freedom. According to Kant's Theory of Freedom, this article reflects on the relationship between the autonomy of technology and that of humankind.展开更多

There are diverse modes and approaches of teacher development, among which, teacher autonomy(TA) is a new concept. It is relatively new and has received insufficient attention in China, especially in vocational colleges. The related research of this kind on English teachers in vocational colleges is far from enough. Based on this situation,some investigations were conducted on the topic of TA among 5 vocational colleges in Kunming, Yunnan Province. By utilizing questionnaires and interviews as the main investigation tools, the present author conducted the survey of the current situation of the English teachers' professional development and the existing problems, aiming at exploring the effective ways of promoting English language teachers'(autonomy) development in the context of vocational colleges.展开更多

At the same time, they are used to learning all by themselves, lacking the spirit of cooperation. This paper describes an experiment aimed to promote learner autonomy and cooperation among college students. A new teaching mode was used in a class, which has 38 students and the class was chosen randomly from 9 classes of the first year students in Wuhan Commercial Service College. Analysis statistics and questionnaire information indicated that the new teaching mode introduced was effective both in helping students acquire knowledge and in promoting learner autonomy and cooperation. The result of the experiment provides a quotable teaching mode for English teachers of colleges.展开更多

This special heterogeneous team structure causes demands for effective organizational structure design solutions. Implementing adjustable autonomy in the organizational structure, the expected evaluation function is established based on the physical resource, intelligent resource, network efficiency, network vulnerability and task execution reliability. According to the above constraints, together with interaction latency, decision-making information processing capacity, and decision-making latency, we aim to find a preferential organizational structure. The proposed organizational structure includes cooperative relationships, supervisory control relationships, and decision-making authorization relationships. In addition,by considering the influence on the intelligent support capabilities and the task execution reliability created by adjustable autonomy, it helps to build the proposed organizational structure designed with certain degree of flexibility to deal with the potential changes in the unpredictable battlefield environment. Simulation is conducted to confirm our design to be valid. And the method is still valid under different battlefield environments and interventions.展开更多
