Application Strategies of Computer Technology in the Field of Mathematical Modeling

The era of big data has arrived in society, and the technology behind com-puter networks has not only raised the general level of people's living stand-ards but is also making steady headway in the direction of artificial intelli-gence. The most important theoretical basis for it is mathematics. The pro-cess of abstracting and synthesizing the laws of reality through the use of mathematical techniques is known as mathematical modeling. The applica-tion of mathematical modeling in the natural sciences seeks to approach a problem with more precision by employing mathematical rigor and a mathe-matical language that is systematically complete. At this point in time, the progression of mathematical modeling just can't happen without the assis-tance of advances in computer technology. The significance of computer technology in mathematical modeling is demonstrated by a detailed examina-tion of the formula underlying the computer technology model. After con-ducting research on the results of the mathematical modeling competition held over the course of several years, utilizing the artificial neural network (ANN) algorithm to analyze the data, and coming to the conclusion that the implementation of computer technology plays a role in the dissemination of mathematical modeling, we say that computer technology has a part to play in the dissemination of mathematical modeling.

The partitioning ensemble control chart for on-line monitoring of high-dimensional image-based quality characteristics

The widespread implementation of computer technology has led to an increased use of Machine Vision Systems (MVS) for quality control in advanced manufacturing industries. The application of Statistical Process Control (SPC) techniques, especially control charts, is one of the most important and effective ways for fault detection in this field. Several statistical control charts have been extended to monitor images in the framework of MVS where the major aim is to improve the on-line detection ability, which is equivalent to avoid production of nonconforming products. In various industrial and non-industrial applications, control charts have been shown to be better able to detect anomalies in the underlying process(es) by integrating machine and ensemble learning techniques. However, in the field of image monitoring, approaches based on intelligent techniques have rarely been proposed. To bridge this gap and to improve the detection ability of control charts in monitoring image-based quality characteristics, this paper presents a novel control chart that combines machine learning, ensemble learning and image partitioning. In order to reach the maximum performance in Phase II SPC applications, specific designing and parameter tuning procedures are provided. The superiority of the proposed Partitioning Ensemble Control Chart (PECC) is verified by comparative analysis including conventional monitoring schemes by means of extensive simulations, in which different fault sizes and fault locations are applied to the images. Finally, a real MVS for quality control of O-rings is discussed to illustrate the practical application of the PECC.

Self-Regulatory Metacognitive Skill Use in Elementary Students During Computer and Paper Reading Assignments: A Qualitative Study

Self-regulated learning (SRL) and metacognitive processes are important in education because they contribute to effective learning and improved academic performance. Metacognitive SRL may be facilitated by the implementation of computer technology. This qualitative study examined the presence and use of metacognitive SLR processes among elementary school students as they completed computer- and paper-based reading assignments. Students in two after-school programs were recruited from a public school district in a southeastern region of the United States (U.S.). The participants consisted of 52 elementary students in Grades 2-5. Students participated in two, counterbalanced, conditions that involved computer- and paper-based reading assignments. Observations and semi-structured interviews were conducted. The results indicated that students were more likely to apply metacognitive SRL skills when reading on paper than reading on a computer. Overall, students showed signs of planning more in the paper than in the computer condition but student behaviors and responses differed between grades. Monitoring practices appeared in both the computer- and the paper-based reading assignment, with monitoring connected with background knowledge in Grades 2 and 3 but reading content in Grades 4 and 5. Control processes such as retrying and representing graphically were more common in the computer- than in the paper-based reading across all grades. Students used their score in a reading assignment as an evaluation tool to assess performance in the computer- and paper-based reading condition. These findings suggest that the utilization of prior information, integration of multimedia and verbal signals, and comfort level with the reading medium all influenced students' SRL decision-making.

ІНФОРМАЦІЙНО-КОМУНІКАЦІЙНІ ТЕХНОЛОГІЇ В СИСТЕМІ ПЕДАГОГІЧНОЇ ОСВІТИ: СКАНДИНАВСЬКИЙ ВИМІР

The main subject of the research is implementation of information and communication technologies in teacher education system of Nordic countries. The article offers a comparative analysis of the main stages in the ICT development in the professional teacher training systems of four developed countries in the Scandinavian region: Denmark, Norway, Sweden and Finland, which are world leaders in the impact of ICT on education and society and have gained a positive experience in creating their own strategies for reforming of all the important teacher education components based on the widespread use of modern information and communication technologies. The author considers that one of the key factors explaining Nordic innovation and digital literacy strength lies in the fact that the progress of using ICT in the system of professional teacher training has taken place in parallel with the processes of informatization, computerization, technological changes and prioritization of the 21-st century skills development in all countries of the Nordic region. Three essential stages of ICT implementation in Nordic educational environment were substantiated. The first is induction (or introductory) stage, connected with the gradual implementation of computer technologies into the educational process. The second is infusion (or partial use) stage, distinguished by joining all the educational institutions to the worldwide information systems. The third is incorporation (or systematic integration) stage, identified by the conceptualization of ICT-related teacher education. These three stages are characterized by the main similar and different principles of the information technologies use in the Nordic pedagogic dimension. The research findings may help to efficiently implement the information and communication technologies into the system of Ukrainian teacher education.

Value management in a networked environment

Development of digital technologies and virtualization of business have caused blurring of the boundaries between enterprises whereas processes implemented therein have merged them into supra-organizational systems wherein participation in value-added creation becomes a prevailing, and in fact the only link. Thus, business value creation management and virtualization thereof is an essential instrument to achieve competitive advantage, participate in broadly-understood business processes and creation or acquisition of values in business. The aim of the paper is to indicate areas of value adding and potential benefits from competition and cooperation among enterprises in cross-organisational networks, creation, capture and retention of value generated in networks, use of modern technologies and IT solutions in management. Hypothesis: Support for network cooperation with modern information technologies increases the potential of generating value of cooperating enterprises. To verify the hypothesis, the method of problem analysis in the subject literature was used. The author’s point of view in the study is that virtualization of value creation processes is directly associated with implementation of computer technologies into business, development of communication networks intended to improve relationships between people inside and outside the company, rapports with customers and building business architecture in cyberspace. Inter-organizational networks form a specific environment of competition and cooperation. It may be used for implementation of joint business projects, yet, the usage depends on the network structure, ease of access and safety. Partners and network participants wishing to cooperate in future have a variety of resources to offer, of which know-how and intellectual capital are currently the most valuable and desirable assets. Sharing the know-how is associated with using it in processes/products and generating added value. On the other hand, it also requires some actions necessary to protect intellectual property.

Remote-online case-based learning: A comparison of remote-online and face-to-face, case-based learning - a randomized controlled trial.

Case-based learning (CBL) is an educational approach where students work in small, collaborative groups to solve problems. Computer assisted learning (CAL) is the implementation of computer technology in education. The purpose of this study was to compare the effects of a remote-online CBL (RO-CBL) with traditional face-to-face CBL on learning the outcomes of undergraduate physiotherapy students. Participants were randomized to either the control (face-to-face CBL) or to the CAL intervention (RO-CBL). The entire 3rd year physiotherapy cohort (n = 41) at Monash University, Victoria, Australia, were invited to participate in the randomized controlled trial. Outcomes included a postintervention multiple-choice test evaluating the knowledge gained from the CBL, a self-assessment of learning based on examinable learning objectives and student satisfaction with the CBL. In addition, a focus group was conducted investigating perceptions and responses to the online format. Thirty-eight students (control n = 19, intervention n = 19) participated in two CBL sessions and completed the outcome assessments. CBL median scores for the postintervention multiple-choice test were comparable (Wilcoxon rank sum P = 0.61) (median/10 [range] intervention group: 9 [8-10] control group: 10 [7-10]). Of the 15 examinable learning objectives, eight were significantly in favor of the control group, suggesting a greater perceived depth of learning. Eighty-four percent of students (16/19) disagreed with the statement "I enjoyed the method of CBL delivery." Key themes identified from the focus group included risks associated with the implementation of, challenges of communicating in, and flexibility offered, by web-based programs. RO-CBL appears to provide students with a comparable learning experience to traditional CBL. Procedural and infrastructure factors need to be addressed in future studies to counter student dissatisfaction and decreased perceived depth of learning.

English Professors’ Attitudes towards the Use of ICT in Moroccan Universities

<em>Computers offer several opportunities that encourage the promotion of teaching and learning experiences. The implementation of computer technologies in education has become the main goal of many educational reforms throughout the globe. The Moroccan kingdom, like many other nations, has understood the importance of using computers in schools and universities. For this reason, the Moroccan government has launched numerous projects aiming at the diffusion of Information and Communication Technologies (ICT) in education system. This paper examined the attitudes of professors of English toward the use of computers in teaching practices. The Theory of Diffusion of Innovation ( Rogers, 1995) served as the theoretical framework. A survey questionnaire, “Computer Attitude Scale” (CAS), was distributed to the EFL professors during the university year 2015-2016. The CAS that was developed by Loyd and Gressard ( 1984) was utilized to collect data regarding professors’ attitudes. These attitudes were assessed based on four components: anxiety, confidence, liking and usefulness. Descriptive analysis of percentages, means, and standard deviations were used to analyse the collected data. The study revealed that Moroccan professors of English language posses positive attitudes toward the implementation of computer technologies in instructional practices.</em>

The Effect of Age on English Professors’ Integration of the New Technologies in Teaching

The integration of computer technologies in teaching has become a vital technique to prepare students to face the challenges of the 21st century. Indeed, today’s education systems have moved from a focus on information transformation through books, blackboards and chalks to a concentration on information processing via technological instruments, mainly computers, smart phones and tablets. Therefore, teachers are required to adopt these new technologies in their teaching practices. However, it is observed that there are several factors affecting teachers’ actual implementation of computer technology in different educational institutions. This paper aims to examine the impact of the age factor on English professors’ use of Information and Communication Technology (ICT) in Moroccan higher institutions. Descriptive analysis of means, and standard deviations were used to analyse the collected data. Also, inferential statistics, especially the ANOVA test, were employed to determine the impact of age on ICT adoptions. The findings revealed that there are statistically significant differences in the means of professors’ age when integrating ICT in instruction, F(3,159)=20.455,p<0.05.

Implementing Multi-Media as a Pedagogical Tool in an EFL classroom: Benefits and Barriers

<p>The implementation of computer technologies especially the use of multimedia and internet in Saudi Arabian education system has attracted Arab students a lot. They have shown great interest in using computers technology for foreign language learning because computer technologies have transformed their contemporary society, changing the way they live, work and learn. As a response to such societal transformation, computer technologies have been brought into classrooms where they are considered to be effective in enhancing students learning and addressing certain education problems (McGrail, 2005). The institutions of higher learning in Saudi Arabia have encouraged students and faculty members utilize multi-media and other related technologies for desired learning outcomes. Thus, the role of computers and Internet in language instruction has now become an important tool in an EFL classroom Saudi Arabia.</p>

Utility and usability as factors influencing teacher decisions about software integration

Given the importance of teacher in the implementation of computer technology in classrooms, the technology acceptance model and TPACK model were used to better understand the decision-making process teachers use in determining how, when, and where computer software is used in mathematics classrooms. Thirty-four (34) teachers implementing Geometer’s Sketchpad and Fathom in algebra and geometry classrooms were observed and interviewed using the above models. The factors of perceived ease of use and perceived usefulness, and their contributing sub-factors, were used to elaborate on how teachers differed in their perceptions and actual use of these two software tools in different instructional contexts. The two primary themes that emerged were teachers’ comfort level with using the software tools and how this interacted with their perceived ease of use, and their understanding of the software’s capabilities and alignment with their curricular and teaching goals. This alignment became the over-riding factor driving perceived usefulness. Secondary factors influencing perceived usefulness included alignment with preferred pedagogical strategies and support from fellow teachers. This last factor probably also crossed over to perceptions of ease of use.
