Investigating the impacts of using a mobile interactive English learning system on the learning achievements and learning perceptions of student with different backgrounds

Many scholars have highlighted the importance of motivation and anxiety in language learning. They have also indicated the advantages of integrating learning content into a mobile-assisted English learning system environment. Meanwhile, a few studies have explored the impacts of a mobile-assisted English learning system on the motivation and English anxiety of elementary school students. This study explores these factors in the English learning achievement of elementary school students by using a mobile-assisted English learning system that includes interesting and interactive games. This study also tries to improve students' learning motivations and decrease their English anxiety through the mobile-assisted English learning system. This quasi-experimental design required 6 weeks to collect the data from the participants. A total of 79 students participated in the experiment, and they were divided into an experimental group and a control group. The students in the experimental group used a mobile-assisted English learning system to learn. Then, they filled out a questionnaire and evaluated whether the system’s operations and their motivation, English anxiety, and perceived usefulness affected their learning achievement. The experimental results indicate that the mobile-assisted English learning system benefits students' learning achievement. Moreover, students with lower levels of English anxiety have better learning achievement than those with higher levels of English anxiety, and higher levels of perceived usefulness result in better learning achievement. These findings could be used as a reference for relevant instructors to find better assisted learning tools and improve students' learning achievement.

Learning Outcomes in Science Among Elementary Level Students

The evolution in field of science has led to technological advancement in present century and has made the human to think and behave in more scientific way. Inadequate knowledge of science and how it functions may affect the efficient functioning of humans, and thus this demands to have a society where students are exposed to scientific knowledge. Exposure to science from the foundations years in schools is not to develop each child into a scientist but it is necessary to develop scientific attitude in them to find out the truth by experiencing, observing and questioning what captivates their interest and attention.Hence, the present study focused on learning outcomes in science among elementary school students. The present study focuses on achievement of elementary school students in science and also compares the differences on the basis of the type of school and gender. The population for the study consisted of students from residential, government and private schools of Chandigarh. Sample was randomly selected including 35 students from class VIII from each type of school. The self-developed standardized Science Achievement Test (SAT) was used as an instrument for data collection. Data was analyzed using percentage, t-test and one way ANOVA with SPSS (version 21). The findings of the study revealed that 39 percent of students scored above average, 23 percent scored average and 38 percent scored below average in SAT. Male and female students do not differ on learning outcome in science but on the basis of type of school, students of residential school performed better in SAT as compared to government and private school students. It is recommended that various factors affecting learning outcomes in science should be explored to improve the Achievement in Science.

Breakfast is an activity of eating and drinking starting from waking up in the morning and fulfilling 15-30% of daily nutritional needs. Breakfast could increase the concentration of learning and it believed could improves children's learning achievement. Delaying breakfast could increase the risk of anemia in children. People in coastal and non-coastal areas have different food supplies according to the environment and natural products that exist and it might make the difference of provision of the breakfast because it was related to the provision of the food. The purpose of this study is to analyze the influence of breakfast habits on anemia status and learning achievement of elementary school students at coastal and non-coastal area. This study used cross sectional research design and the population of this study were all elementary school students at Kupang city. The determination of this research samples used Slovin formula with a sample size of 100 respondents. And for the statistical tests used analysis of Simple Loistic Regression Test and Whitney Mann test. The statistical test results showed that there was an influence between breakfast habits frequency (p = 0,000), energy contribution (p = 0,000) and protein (p = 0,020) on anemia status. Therefore research findings was shown an influence between the contribution of energy (p = 0.032) and protein (p = 0.004), learning achievement (p = 0.409) on student’s learning achievement. Otherwise, there was no influence between anemia status and learning achievement (p = 0.520). The results of the Mann Whitney test showed that there was no difference between breakfast habits, anemia status and learning achievement in coastal and non-coastal areas.

The Social Geography of Education: Neighborhood, Class Composition, and the Educational Achievement of Elementary School Students in Zurich, Switzerland

Summary Despite an impressive amount of research and policy intervention no robust pattern of neighborhood effects on educational attainment has previously been identified. Adequate theoretical modeling and the sensitivity of the results to the method of the study are the major challenges in this area of research. This paper elaborates the social mechanisms of neighborhood effects and applies various methodological approaches to test them. Using data from Switzerland, the research reported here has detected heterogeneous effects of neighborhood on elementary school students’ educational achievement in Zurich. Although modest in comparison with the effects of classroom composition, these effects appear to be mediated primarily through social integration into a local peer network and are differentiated according to students’ gender and their social origin.

Effects of Improvements in Interval Timing on the Mathematics Achievement of Elementary School Students

This article examines the effect of improvements in timing/rhythmicity on mathematics achievement. A total of 86 participants attending 1st through 4th grades completed pre- and posttest measures of mathematics achievement from the Woodcock-Johnson III Tests of Achievement. Students in the experimental group participated in a 4-week intervention designed to improve their timing/rhythmicity by reducing latency response to a synchronized metronome beat. The intervention required, on average, 18 daily sessions of approximately 50 minutes each. The results from this nonacademic intervention indicate the experimental group’s posttest scores on the measures of mathematics were significantly higher than the nontreatment control group’s scores. This article proposes an integration of psychometric theory and contemporary information processing theory to provide a context from which to develop preliminary hypotheses to explain how a nonacademic intervention designed to improve timing/rhythmicity can demonstrate a statistically significant effect on students’ mathematics achievement scores.
