Factors Affecting Selection of Elective Courses:The Use of Multi-Criteria Decision Making Model

Elective course selection has always been a serious and important decision making process for students in institutions. The aim of this study is to determine weights of factors affecting elective course selection from students' perspective. So as to solve the problem, Analytic Hierarchy Process (AHP) based model was used. Factors which affect the elective course selection from students' point of view include five main criteria and 13 sub-criteria which were indicated by students. An online questionnaire containing demographic questions, enabled each student to compare the relative priority of criteria with all of the other criteria. The responses were evaluated via Super Decisions software, and priorities were determined using the Analytic Hierarchy Process (AHP). According to the analysis of 40 experts (i.e., graduate students studying in engineering programs), course schedule and teaching staff related factors are the two most important factors affecting the elective course selection. A real- life situation which will help students who are indecisive and hesitates while selecting an elective course was observed. AHP contributes to develop an analytic and comprehensive framework decision making. The method should be considered by faculty member involved in decisions about curriculum update and offering new courses.

On the Selective Online Course of Campus English

Online learning is becoming more and more popular among college students.College courses are going online recently but seldom have a systematic structure.In an attempt to testify the effect of online learning of the English language,a research is carried out by running a selective course of Campus English online.The whole process of the course is running online.A Wechat group is set up for the purpose of supervision.Each unit has an assignment to follow.Through finishing these assignments,the skills of listening,speaking,reading and writing are all practiced.To test the students’learning outcome,the instructor only needs to check their assignments.Feedback is offered to the students as soon as the teacher has corrected the assignments.After the twenty-class-hour learning,a survey is carried out to find out the student’s further needs and satisfaction level.The result of the survey shows that the students are quite satisfied with this form of online learning.Some advice is also offered by them to contribute to the further improvement of this online course.This research has shed some light on further improvement of online course.

Study on college English elective courses

College English Curriculum Requirements poses a great challenge for college English teaching. One way to deal with the status quo is to offer selective courses to non-English majors. This article gives an early probe into the rationale on a new course-designing practice as well as a detailed introduction to an illustrative course. As proved, the attempt to practice selective courses is feasible and effective for individualized teaching and integrated language competence cultivation.

Web-based supplier relationship framework using agent systems

In order to enable both manufacturers and suppliers to be profitable on today’s highly competitive markets, manufacturers and suppliers must be quick in selecting best partners establishing strategic relationship, and collaborating with each other so that they can satisfy the changing competitive manufacturing requirements. A web-based supplier relationships (SR) framework is therfore proposed using multi-agent systems and linear programming technique to reduce supply cost, increase flexibility and shorten response time. Web-based SR approach is an ideal platform for information exchange that helps buyers and suppliers to maintain the availability of materials in the right quantity, at the right place, and at the right time, and keep the customer-supplier relationship more transparent. A multi-agent system prototype was implemented by simulation, which shows the feasibility of the proposed architecture.

Studying Chinese Characters in a Web-Based Learning Environment: A Case Study of Swedish University Students

This survey study aims to investigate the perceptions learners have of the character-learning strategies they employ when taking a web-based course in Chinese.The seven Likert-scale statements are included in the questionnaire to examine learners’opinions on the three character-learning strategies that are widely used in traditional campus courses.A total of 65 students who completed the beginner level‘Chinese Characters’web-based course at a university in Sweden completed the survey.The results suggest that students in web-based courses consider these three strategies to be just as helpful and effective as campus students;moreover,the more orthodox strategy-rote learning-is found to be the most popular among distance students.Furthermore,findings of this study provide insight into the limitations and advantages associated with a web-based course,and also the possible effect learners’age and gender may have on learning strategy preferences.

新高考改革的历史成就、现实审思与发展愿景

高考招生制度不仅是我国一项基本的教育制度,而且也是选拔人才和保障教育公平的重要举措。当前,新一轮高考改革已推行多年,成效显著,逐步从局部试点走向全国布局,选拔标准也从分数优先转向倚重学生综合素质评价,逐渐突破传统分层分批录取的束缚,进一步保证学生的录取机会,改变学校教育的培育模式,从传统的文理分科转向了选科自由的新样态。同时,审视新高考改革的进程,发现政策鼓励与执行过程的偏差、科学选才与考试负担的冲突、个性发展与职业选择的博弈以及普通教育与生涯教育的对冲在一定程度上阻碍了新高考改革的推进。纵然如此,对新高考这种具有全局性的系统改革,必须坚持系统性的思维模式,稳步推进,在目标层面、主体层面、技术层面与治理层面都将找准关键点,阐明关键目标与价值主体,把握教育综合性改革的未来方向与技术路线。未来,新高考改革展现新的发展愿景:锚定发展目标,保障选拔体系的公平性;观照学生的主体需求,尊重学生选择的自主性;实现数字赋能,凸显高考改革的科技性;实现科学治理,增强“教、考、招”的联结性。

英语教育硕士课程设置的问题与对策研究

目前,我国的英语教育专业硕士点和招生人数众多,但较少学者对英语教育硕士的培养展开研究,而课程设置是关涉硕士培养质量的最关键因素之一,因此,以“双一流”高校和普通地方性高校的英语教育硕士课程为例,探究课程设置的问题与对策。研究结果显示:英语教育硕士课程设置存在不同层次高校之间的课程资源分布不均衡,教育哲学类、专业选修类和前沿性课程不多等问题。鉴于此,各院校可采取跨校选课或外聘任课教师的措施,并且增设教育哲学类、专业选修类和前沿性课程。

中外混合式教学质量评价标准比较研究

混合式教学因利用现代信息技术,突破传统教学时空限制,融合线上线下教学优势,已成为高校课堂教学的主流模式之一。传统课堂教学评价不能完全适用于混合式教学,新的评价体系亟需构建。本文旨在介绍中外三个较有影响力的评价标准,比较三者之间的异同。研究结果发现中外三个标准因用途不同导致部分评价指标存在差异:两个外方标准主要用于常规教学检查,重在评估课程建设过程中的教学细节,以此体现以学生为中心的教学理念;中方标准主要用于遴选,重在评估混合式教学的效果,聚焦课程特色和价值以此鼓励各高校积极参与教学改革。研究结果可为我国高校制定重在过程评估的混合式教学评价标准提供参考,亦可为外语界构建与其专业特点相适配的混合式教学评价标准提供启示。
