Information behaviors of Chinese K-12physical education teachers:A survey study

Purpose: Given the unique characteristics of physical education(PE) teaching in K-12education,PE teachers' information behaviors deserve special attention.This article reports a survey study of PE teachers' information behaviors,covering information literacy skills and behaviors of information seeking and information use.Design/methodology/approach:A questionnaire survey was conducted of K-12 PE teachers in the Tianjin municipal region of China,with a response rate of 61.9%.Findings:PE teachers lack skills with information retrieval systems in general.The Internet continues to be their primary information source,and they rely more on personal collection and colleagues than the school library for teaching materials.They rarely develop a searching strategy,employ querying tactics,or use advanced search functions,and they tend to be content with finding a few relevant articles.Research limitations:The survey is limited to the Tianjin municipal region in scope.Though attempting to reach 210 participants from 40 schools,it yielded only 130 valid responses.A larger survey covering more regions and with greater responses may be useful.Practical implications:Insights from this study inform the educational and on-job training of K-12 PE teachers to improve their information literacy skills.Originality/value:Little research exists on PE teachers' behaviors of information seeking.This study bridges the gap and enriches our understanding of K-12 teachers' information behaviors.

A Study on the Effects of English Teachers' Nonverbal Behavior on the Classroom Teaching in Higher Vocational College

The two main communications between the teacher and students in the classroom teaching are teachers' verbal and nonverbal behavior. The teachers teach students knowledge in words and convey a large amount of information using nonverbal behavior. These nonverbal behavior exert a subtle influence on the students, thus affect the classroom teaching. The English teachers' classroom nonverbal behavior in a higher vocational college in Gansu province was investigated through questionnaires. The results indicate that the teachers' behaviors affect the different aspects of students and then influence the effectiveness of teaching on English classroom teaching in higher vocational college.

Brief Probe into College English Teachers' Phonetic Teaching Beliefs and Behavior

Pronunciation is the basic of learning a language and an important breakthrough point to promote the whole level of language.As a result,pronunciation attracted more and more attention in English teaching.However,it is still a weakness in English teaching because of the multifarious and complicated factors.A large numbers of research papers indicate that teacher is the leader and organizer of teaching activities,he or she dominants the whole process of pronunciation teaching.For example,they make decisions,design and reform the content of teaching in the classroom.What's more,teacher's beliefs can influence their teaching behaviors more than their professional knowledge,namely,teacher's phonetic teaching beliefs influence their phonetic teaching behaviors deeply.This study aims at finding out about teachers'beliefs of phonetic teaching and casting some light on the relationship between teachers' phonetic teaching beliefs and behaviors,and the causes for their inconsistency if any.

Kindergarten Teachers’Language Modeling Behaviors in Daily Activities and Free Play

Teachers’language modeling behaviors,including frequent conversation,open-ended questions,repetition and extension,self-and parallel talks,and advanced language,have significantly impacted young children’s language learning and development.This study examined 60 classrooms from 20 kindergartens in Guangzhou,China,and analyzed 62 films of daily activities and 57 videos of free play.It aims to address the research gap in existing research that pays little attention to teachers’language modeling behaviors in daily activities and free play.The results indicate that the more frequent teachers’language modeling behaviors,the larger the vocabulary young children use and the better their performance in lexical richness.However,such behaviors in daily activities and free play are infrequent and superficial,failing to guide young children’s language development effectively.To optimize teachers’language modeling behaviors in daily activities and free play,they are expected to establish positive emotional bonds with young children in a kind and respectful manner and receive training.Teachers are also encouraged to frequently communicate and engage in dialogues with young children,create contexts that facilitate the use of language,increase the frequency of stimuli for vocabulary learning,and guide and encourage young children’s advanced language.

Machine Learning Enabled e-Learner Non-Verbal Behavior Detection in IoT Environment

Internet of Things(IoT)with e-learning is widely employed to collect data from various smart devices and share it with other ones for efficient e-learning applications.At the same time,machine learning(ML)and data mining approaches are presented for accomplishing prediction and classification processes.With this motivation,this study focuses on the design of intelligent machine learning enabled e-learner non-verbal behaviour detection(IML-ELNVBD)in IoT environment.The proposed IML-ELNVBD technique allows the IoT devices such as audio sensors,cameras,etc.which are then connected to the cloud server for further processing.In addition,the modelling and extraction of behaviour take place.Moreover,extreme learning machine sparse autoencoder(ELM-SAE)model is employed for the detection and classification of non-verbal behaviour.Finally,the Ant Colony Optimization(ACO)algorithm is utilized to properly tune the weight and bias parameters involved in the ELM-SAE model.In order to ensure the improved performance of the IML-ELNVBD model,a comprehensive simulation analysis is carried out and the results highlighted the betterment compared to the recent models.

在线协作会话中教师干预对学习者认知加工过程的影响研究

在线协作会话是一种广泛应用于在线学习和混合式学习的协作学习活动,教师干预则被认为是提升在线协作会话效果的重要手段之一。然而,教师干预到底如何影响学习者的认知加工过程尚不明确。文章以某大学31名教育技术学专业学生为研究对象,通过准实验研究探索在线协作会话活动中教师干预对学习者认知加工过程的影响。研究结果显示:教师干预对学习者的行为参与没有显著影响;对学习者观点的认知复杂性有抑制作用,而对观点的认知科学性有促进作用;能够促使学习者拥有更丰富的认知模式,使其观点从“前科学”更多地向“具体的事实和解释”转换。基于上述结论,文章进一步得出如下启示:在线协作会话中,教师可以通过设置最低参与标准来促进学习者的行为参与;学习者可以从在线协作会话的教师干预中获益,形成更丰富的认知模式;教师的干预应更加注重对学习者观点的认知复杂性的引导。
