These support materials assist teachers in teaching the PEPE, helping students develop their physics competencies to meet the subject's learning outcomes, as well as nurturing their patriotism and responsibility in environmental protection. This material can be applied as reference, teaching and assessment material. The survey of teachers and students shows that the learning materials are positively received, but it is necessary to develop more learning material content and pedagogical experiments to support the learning of high school students more effectively

Evaluating the content structure of intelligent tutor systems—A psychological network analysis

The adoption of intelligent tutoring systems (ITSs) worldwide has led to a considerable accumulation of process data as students interact with different learning topics within these systems. Typically, these learning topics are structured within ITSs (e.g., the fraction topic includes subtopics such as a fraction number line subtopic). However, there is a lack of methods that offer quick, data-driven insights into the content structure of ITSs, particularly through easily accessible visualizations. Here, we applied psychological network analysis to process data (230,241 students; 5,365,932 problem sets) from an ITS for learning mathematics to explore performance interdependencies between 40 different subtopics. We argue that the visualization of these content interdependencies allows for a quick empirical evaluation of the validity of the existing structuring of the respective learning content. These insights allow for deriving recommendations concerning potential changes in the ITS structure and are thus highly valuable for ITS developers. Our results are also relevant for researchers as the interdependencies illustrated through psychological network analysis can contribute towards a better understanding of the interplay between mathematical skills. Together, our results indicate that psychological network analysis represents a valuable data-driven method to evaluate and optimize ITSs.

A Study On Knowledge Base and Skill Development in Financial Accounting Using The SPSS Method

The topics of growth and learning, practical proficiency in theory, supervision and leadership, awareness of policies and procedures, and organizational awareness are all included under the heading of knowledge and skill development. It is helpful to have a solid skill set to develop personally, establish a network, and learn managerial and interpersonal skills. Neither schooling nor formal instruction is required for the development of these abilities. Knowledge is information stored in long-term memory and accessed when necessary. Knowledge and comprehension are expressed through action, conduct, behavior, and the ability to understand how well something is done. The practice Financial accounting is the process of documenting, gathering, and summarizing multiple transactions occurring from company activities throughout time. The three types of accounting that a corporation might use to track its revenue are administrative accounting, financial accounting, and cost accounting. An ongoing feedback and practice cycle is necessary for learning new abilities. Self-regulation, functional, and specialized knowledge are the three types of skills. Functional talents are intrinsic aptitudes or abilities that develop with instruction and practice. Strong work ethic, self-motivation, adaptability, perseverance, and critical thinking in a team are all desirable qualities. A knowledgeable and effective time manager is also essential. This essay presents the findings of an examination of the fundamental knowledge, skills, and technique for accounting practice as seen by students.

Imbalanced and missing multi-label data learning with global and local structure

Label missing and class imbalance problems are two hot research topics in machine learning, and they have been impeding the improvement of model performance, especially in the multi-label learning. Although some existing methods have proven to be effective, they are suitable for only one case. How to effectively address above two issues simultaneously is a challenging problem. In this paper, we propose a novel model named Imbalanced and Missing multi-Label data learning with Global and Local structure (IMLGL) to address the aforementioned challenge. There are following three advantages. At the empirical risk level, we introduce the label correlation matrix C into the loss function and devise a dynamic weighting method to address the aforementioned challenge. At the data level, we analyze the structural characteristics of the data, and introduce local low-rank and global high-rank term to enhance the generalization performance of the model. At the label level, a smoothing term is also introduced for learning the constraint classifier coefficient matrix W. Our method utilizes alternative optimization technique and alternating minimization method for solving. Extensive experiments on six datasets demonstrate the competitiveness of our approach.
