Influences of Artificial Intelligence in Education on Teaching Effectiveness

The continuous development and application of artificial intelligence (AI) technology greatly support education reform and profoundly influence the learning styles of learners. Artificial intelligence in education (AIED) can help teachers recognize teaching tasks explicitly and teach content accurately. Moreover, AIED can help students change the traditional learning styles according to their differences, thereby realizing intelligent teaching and meeting the learning needs of students. A good teachers’ perception of educational technology (ET) is beneficial for using AI technology to positively assist all teaching links, which in turn improves teaching effectiveness. In this study, five hypotheses concerning the influences of AIED on teaching effectiveness were verified. The teachers’ perception of ET was introduced as a mediating variable, and the mediating effect of AIED on the improvement of teaching effectiveness was analyzed. The influences of AI using the period of learners on teaching effectiveness were estimated. Results showed that the overall Cronbach α and Kaiser–Meyer–Olkin of the designed questionnaire were 0.907 and 0.878, respectively. Moreover, the χ2 of Bartlett’s test of sphericity reached the 0.01 significance level, indicating the considerable good reliability and validity of the questionnaire. All four aspects, namely, AI-assisted teaching, exercise, exam, and assessment, had significantly positive influences on teaching effectiveness. The teachers’ perceptions of ET played a partial mediating effect for AIED on the improvement of teaching effectiveness. Samples with different AI-using periods had significant influences on teaching (p < 0.01). Research conclusions can provide important references to teachers for making scientific use of AIED and propose more accurate teaching strategies according to the learning states of learners.

Controlar o estilo e a motivação interpessoais em Educação Física: uma revisão sistemática

The teacher's interpersonal style has a significant role in the attitude and motivation of students, and although the current educational system suggests the use of more student-centered styles, in Physical Education (PE), traditional styles are still mainly used. The purpose was to analyze the relationship between teacher-controlling interpersonal style and student motivation in the context of PE classes. A search was carried out in WOS, Ebsco, Scopus and Cochrane taking into consideration the different inclusion criteria specified in the document. Forty-two publications were identified, from which six were selected that met the established eligibility criteria. It was concluded that the adoption by teachers of a controlling interpersonal style is closely related to less self-determined forms of motivation, generating a negative classroom environment conditioned by the lack of student autonomy, and therefore the adoption of more innovative and active methodologies centered on the students is suggested.

Wechsel-Dauer (Change-Constancy)

The lexeme Wechsel-Dauer (change-constancy) appears in “Anmutige Gegend” (A Pleasant Landscape) in Act I of Faust II, as part of Faust’s famous description of the rainbow before him. While the hyphenated term captures the essential temporal tension of the drama, reflecting the complexity of the Augenblick (moment), it also indexes the temporality of Metamorphose (metamorphosis) within Goethe’s scientific thought. The obvious overlap with the poem “Dauer im Wechsel” (1803; Constancy in Change), which is linked with early nineteenth-century psychology, points toward some of the term’s broader resonances. Beyond the natural scientific and psychological contexts, Wechsel-Dauer is connected to several interrelated aspects of cultural production, including publication practices, tradition, and late style. Furthermore, the hyphenated term, as distinguished from either Wechsel or Dauer alone, manifests the Goethean principles of Polarität (polarity) and Steigerung (intensification).

Ilustration Style in Balinese Childdren’s Song Animation


 This article is a study to support the pre-production process of animation that takes the theme of Balinese children's songs. Studies that discuss the visualization of illustrations in animated Balinese children's songs are still rarely, even though Balinese children's songs are one of the most sought-after content on Youtube social media. The urgency of this research lies in the existence of animated visualizations that tend to follow the style of outside Bali causing the audience's representation of Balinese identity to shift. With the rapid development of digital media, the space for displaying animation is unlimited, and can be accessed from various places. This article aims to provide references and suggestions for traditional Balinese styles that can be developed as a reference in the animation pre-production process. Data obtained through observation, documentation, and literature, then analyzed to obtain a synthesis, namely the style of illustration design for animation production. Based on the data obtained, there is still a visual style of Balinese children's song animation that tends to follow the western style or minimalist style due to the lack of character deepening and manufacturing techniques. In conclusion, the animation of Balinese children's songs using Balinese illustration style needs to pay attention to Balinese visual styles such as Ubud, Batuan, and Kamasan, as a reference. This visual style can later be applied starting from the script, scene, character design and also the background that dominates the animation visualization.

Sisterhood in the City: Creating Community through Lion Dance

This article examines notions of “sisterhood” by focusing on an all-women's lion dance company called Gund Kwok, based in Boston's Chinatown. Gund Kwok, which limits membership to those who identify as female and Asian American, provides a space for women to perform this traditional male-only dance style. Company members have created a community of “sisters” to address layers of gendered and racial oppression. Despite concerns that scholars have raised about how community formations, such as sisterhoods, can be overly idealistic and potentially harmful, this study highlights the role of sisterhood in Gund Kwok and the important functions it serves for the group. It argues that Gund Kwok is a diverse community that draws from the ideology of sisterhood as a way of articulating Asian American cultural identity outside the scope of Western cultural frameworks and the dance's patriarchal tradition.

Supervision of Chinese social work students during field practice: Harmonising a student-focused, egalitarian approach with traditional teaching and learning

This article explores the extent to which approaches to supervision developed outside of China fit with Chinese cultural approaches to learning and teaching. Qualitative data were collected from students and supervisors from three different regions in China. The findings suggest that a student-focused, egalitarian approach is fundamental to promote students’ learning at the current developmental stage of the social work profession in China. This approach is in conflict to some degree with the deeply rooted traditional teacher-centred, authoritative teaching and learning style. This study illustrates how a student-focused, equalitarian approach could be applied to alleviate such a tension.

Energy-Efficient circuits with improved diode free adiabatic logic design methodology

This paper demonstrates a detailed analysis of an unique improved diode-free adiabatic logic (IDFAL) circuit. The IDFAL is operated based on adiabatic switching principle. To indicate the circuit effectiveness, numerous analyses are carried out on different complementary metal oxide semiconductor (CMOS) technology nodes. Logic circuits, viz., NOT and NAND are analyzed and simulated using the traditional CMOS design style and some popular adiabatic logic design techniques: two-phase clocked adiabatic static CMOS logic (2PASCL), diode free adiabatic logic (DFAL), adiabatic dynamic CMOS logic (ADCL), two-phase adiabatic dynamic CMOS logic (2PADCL), quasi-static energy recovery logic (QSERL), and clocked CMOS adiabatic logic (CCAL). The results are compared with the proposed design (IDFAL) at various operating frequencies. The results revealed that the IDFAL inverter circuit has the least power delay product (PDP) among the reported adiabatic design methodologies and saves 91.59 % over the counter-part CMOS inverter at 16 nm high-performance predictive technologies (HP_PTM).

POFMakeup: A style transfer method for Peking Opera makeup

When using standard neural network transfer methods for portrait style transfer, semantically correct transfers often cannot be guaranteed; the texture details in the style examples tend to be ignored. This paper proposes a style transfer method for Peking Opera faces called POFMakeup. This method can transfer the style of a portrait with a Peking Opera face to another portrait. This method uses two guides, namely, a position guide and an appearance guide. The position guide ensures semantic consistency in the transfer process, while the appearance guide ensures the appearance of the target subject can be preserved during transfer. The experimental results show that this method not only solves the problem of traditional portrait style transfer but also can quickly and perfectly realize the style transfer of the Peking Opera face. The proposed method showed a 17% improvement in structural similarity (SSIM) over conventional methods.

The teaching content of Shanghai style furniture design for Chinese art design speciality

Shanghai style furniture (SSF) was the classic case of Chinese furniture culture, we have researched on the teaching content of SSF design for the furniture design course in Chinese art design speciality, and carried out the teaching practice of SSF design for some students. According to this teaching practice, the students' design attitude towards SSF was summarized, which will provide a basis for inheriting SSF design and developing SSF design teaching. In our teaching practice, 132 students had learned the design experiences of SSF, carried on the design practice of SSF, and summarized their SSF design. In the process of students' redesign of SSF, generally speaking, the SSF style was characterized by the combination of China and the European and modern simplicity. Modern elements were added to the SSF design, and fine works were refined in the traditional Chinese modeling, so as to make SSF more in line with the trend of modern design and better carry forward the concept of design service life. After studying this course, these students had basically mastered the design method of SSF. Excavating the practical value of SSF culture and designing new SSF, which are not to copy traditional art style, but the recreation and redesign basing on modern cultures.

Transparent communication of evidence does not undermine public trust in evidence.

Does clear and transparent communication of risks, benefits, and uncertainties increase or undermine public trust in scientific information that people use to guide their decision-making? We examined the impact of reframing messages written in traditional persuasive style to align instead with recent "evidence communication" principles, aiming to inform decision-making: communicating a balance of risks and benefits, disclosing uncertainties and evidence quality, and prebunking misperceptions. In two pre-registered experiments, UK participants read either a persuasive message or a balanced and informative message adhering to evidence communication recommendations about COVID-19 vaccines (Study 1) or nuclear power plants (Study 2). We find that balanced messages are either perceived as trustworthy as persuasive messages (Study 1), or more so (Study 2). However, we note a moderating role of prior beliefs such that balanced messages were consistently perceived as more trustworthy among those with negative or neutral prior beliefs about the message content. We furthermore note that participants who had read the persuasive message on nuclear power plants voiced significantly stronger support for nuclear power than those who had read the balanced message, despite rating the information as less trustworthy. There was no difference in vaccination intentions between groups reading the different vaccine messages.

越劇과 女性國劇의 비교 연구 - 발전과정과 특징을 중심으로

Yue-ju Opera and Female Gukkeuk are representative traditional theater styles in which only actresses perform. In the 20th century, women’s social advancement had become more frequent, so women’s stage performances are no longer unfamiliar. Yue-ju Opera and Female Gukkeuk are popular and traditional plays developed in Seolchang(說唱), and have similarities such as the actress’ male costume acting and romance narratives. The history of Female Gukkeuk and Yue-ju Opera is a process in which women, who were excluded from stage performances and were taboo, became the central body of the stage.BR First of all, I reasearched the process of women becoming the central body on the stage. Yue-ju Opera and Female Gukkeuk were theatricalized from Seolchang Art. Changgeuk was established by the Joseon(朝鲜) Vocal Music Research Association, and Yue-ju Opera was established as Yue-ju Opera through Nakji Changseo, Sogaban, and Shaoxing-Munhee. Both theater styles had performed only by men at the beginning period. Since then, Changgeuk has partially performed by Ki-saeng or female singers of Pansori, but Yue-ju Opera had established a female troupe and let male troupe push out.BR Since Female Gukkeuk and Yue-ju Opera are performed only by actresses, the actress’ male costume is the core of these two styles. Female Gukkeuk was established by Im-Chun-Aeng, who participated in the early days, and Yue-ju Opera was established by YIn-guifang through various resuscitation actors in the late 30s and 40s. Unlike the Female Gukkeuk established actress’ male acting and then the other actors’ acting was highlighted, the Yue-ju Opera was centered on the Huadan(花旦) at first and later on, Xiaosheng(小生) became centered. In terms of makeup, costumes, romance narratives, and singing method, Female Gukkeuk has a relatively strong and powerful images, compared to Yue-ju Opera which has a soft images.BR After liberation from Japanese colonial rule, Female Gukkeuk had a desire to become the representation of national theater with the motto of establishing a nation- state and national musics. This desire was also expressed in a national formation narrative. However, the Female Gukkeuk, which wanted to be the representation of the nation-state, became marginalized when Korean society had rebuilt the traditional gender order again.BR In Shanghai, many immigrants from Zhejiang(浙江) and Jiangsu(江蘇) province accounted for the majiority, and Yue-ju Opera had the locality to put them together. After the establishment of People’s Republic of China, thanks to the marriage law campaign, romance narrative-oriented works gained popularity nationwide and even were introduced to foreign countries, functioning as the representation of the nation-state.

Professional Development Effectiveness of E-Learning on Quality of Students’ Performance in Higher Education

Technology has played an important role in education, changing the learning environment’s traditional style. Widespread use of technological devices harnesses the educational process and creates opportunities to make education available everywhere and at any time. E-learning provides a way to manage and overcome challenges faced by traditional higher education institutions by allowing them to be more competitive. This research conducted a case study of Taif University to evaluate the effectiveness of e-learning development in the higher education sector, and examined its impact on student performance quality, aiming to identify the important axes for developing higher education e-learning. The study analysed the requirements for developing e-learning and investigated opportunities to build and develop e-learning capabilities in higher education in general and Taif University in particular. Many external and internal influences contribute to e-learning trends in higher education; external funding, tuition fees, technology costs, and education development all influence internal pressure to reduce institutions’ costs. Thus, higher education is turning to e-learning to relieve these pressures, because it significantly reduces costs and improves both learning effectiveness and learning outcomes compared to traditional methods. Despite the advantages of e-learning, some higher education institutions remain in the experimental stages of developing and benefiting from it. This research study the relationships between e-learning difficulties, providing requirements, supporting e-learning, and providing e-learning services in higher education and quality performance.

Pengembangan Desain Produk Berkonsep Silang Dua Budaya

Global market competition is increasingly becoming more and more competitive, demanding that product designers continue to enhance their creativity by exploring new design ideas. The global consumer audience highly appreciates the cultural meaning of a product. Nowadays, several brands use local culture as the basic concept, but sadly, they all look alike using materials, traditional styles mixed with more conventional fabrics and shapes. As a result, this paper seeks to study the process of cultural cross-concept for product design and develop a cross between the two cultures using the morphological chart method. A systematic method of developing ideas by matching features that can provide design solutions. The special regional cultures of Yogyakarta and Egypt have been identified as case studies. The two cultures are identified, and the cultural artifacts are identified by their cultural elements, which can be used as a design inspiration. The results of this study were the framework of the cross-cultural design process and the example on how to apply the framework to product design. It is apparent from this process that the relevance of the meaning of the relationship between the two cultures should be formed, so that the assimilation of culture is not wrong and without meaning. Through cultural identification at the outer, middle, and inner levels, the relevance of intercultural relations is becoming apparent. This is important because, in a product with a cross-cultural concept, the story and historical factors influence the customer's perceived value of the cross-cultural product.

Making ‘the National Image’ of Korea: From the Shrine of the Joseon Dynasty to the National Memorial of the Republic of Korea

Korea tried to reconstruct its tradition as a modern nation and promote nationalism only in the 1960s, a relatively late period compared to the West. So-called “tradition-making” began by promoting the full-fledged national shrine project to commemorate historical figures in a short period. These national shrines were built in a traditional style and embodied a national image representing Korea. This study analyzed which elements of traditional Korean architecture were selectively adopted for the main hall of Hyeonchungsa, the first national shrine, and discussed how these choices were intertwined with the discourses on Korean architecture at the time by tracing their historical, cultural, and political context. Although the ‘newly invented’ national shrine functionally resembled a Confucian shrine, it favored splendid and magnificent elements on its exterior, a tendency that is well-demonstrated in the shape of its roof, the decoration of the eaves, and the elevation. This style reflects the modern perspective that regarded the roof curve as an essential feature to define the identity of Korean architecture. Additionally, it can be seen as an effort to reevaluate the architectural style of the Joseon Dynasty, which was belittled during the Japanese colonial period. In addition, these national shrines showed an attempt to reproduce the architectural form of the past with modern material–concrete–by actively referring to the drawing data derived from the actual measurement surveys of historical buildings that were carried out vigorously in the early 1960s. Although these buildings have not been valued in academia amid criticism of the political use of traditions, they played a critical role in spreading the “image of Korean tradition”.

Indigenous astronomical knowledge based seasonal weather forecast: evidence from Borana Oromo pastoralists of Southern Ethiopia.

Indigenous knowledge is still widely used by communities around the world to overcome social-ecological challenges. Borana Oromo pastoralists of Southern Ethiopia have been searching for future weather phenomena using their indigenous knowledge. This study examines indigenous knowledge-based seasonal weather forecasts through using observable physical and temporal patterns of astronomic objects. Data were generated through using focus group discussion, experimental knowledgeable groups and direct observation in the year 2021. The finding reveals that Borana Oromo pastoralists commonly define physical and temporal outlooks of the Moon that are changed and/ or displayed periodically within a range of varying contexts. The observation of the Moon features have been offering sufficient lapse time in a more than/within ahead of a season/ and is relatively more accurate than the other traditional forecasting objects. The study showed that both temporal and spatial dimensions of the forecasting were actually happened in Ganna (March to May rainfall), Adolessa dry season (June to September) and Hgayya rainfall (October to November) seasons of 2021. This indigenous weather forecasting practices are still regularly used in every livelihood decision making process. However, this indigenous weather knowledge of Borana Oromo pastoralists of Southern Ethiopia is not yet mainstreamed in the formal institutional structures. Curtailments of mobility, severity of drought, weakening of traditional institution, leaving of traditional life style and death of the knowledgeable elders are the major factors that are challenging the potential effects of the indigenous weather forecasting indicators of the features of moon in the study area.

Selfie Videos to Reduce Stigma and Increase Treatment Seeking Among Youths: Two Noninferiority Randomized Controlled Trials.

Confronting stigma early in life could enhance treatment seeking. In two randomized controlled trials (RCTs), one focused on psychosis and the other on adolescent depression, the efficacy and equivalence of brief social contact-based videos were evaluated and compared with a control condition. The outcomes of interest were changes in illness-related stigma and treatment-seeking intention. The hypotheses were that the intervention videos would show greater efficacy than control conditions and that traditional and selfie videos would demonstrate similar efficacy. Young adults (study 1, N=895) and adolescents (study 2, N=637) were randomly assigned to view intervention videos (in traditional or selfie styles) or to a control condition. In short videos (58-102 seconds), young presenters humanized their illness by emotionally describing their struggles and discussing themes of recovery and hope. Repeated-measures analyses of variance and paired t tests showed significant differences in stigma and treatment seeking between the intervention and control groups and similar efficacy of the traditional and selfie videos. Cohen's d effect sizes ranged from 0.31 to 0.76 for changes in stigma from baseline to 30-day follow-up in study 1 and from 0.13 to 0.47 for changes from baseline to postintervention in study 2. The RCTs demonstrated the efficacy of brief videos, both traditional and selfie, in reducing illness-related stigma among young adults and adolescents and in increasing treatment-seeking intention among adolescents. Future studies should explore the effects of brief videos presented by social media influencers on mental health stigma and treatment engagement.

Hanfu as therapeutic governance in neo/non-liberal China: a multimodal discourse analysis of Hanfu videos on Bilibili

Drawing on the concepts of therapeutic governance and neo/non-liberal China, this study examines the discourse of Hanfu, which is the modern incarnation of traditional Chinese clothing styles of various ancient dynasties, as manifested in popular videos shared on Bilibili, a Chinese video-sharing site. Using multimodal discourse analysis, we found nine codes that fell into three categories: self-expression (aesthetic, cultured, and confident), traditional culture (genuine, long-established, and original), and identity boundaries (vs. capital, vs. Western modernity, and vs. Asian neighbors). In addition, we showed that the Hanfu videos mobilized traditional Chinese culture as a resource to buttress neoliberal self-expression and state-sanctioned meanings of identity. We argue that the discursive construction of Hanfu simultaneously cultivates individuals’ positive affects and solidifies the state’s legitimacy as a mode of governance in contemporary Chinese society. The findings of this study showed that to understand contemporary China, aspects of popular culture, such as Hanfu, should be situated in the broader mode of governance in Chinese society, which includes consumption, ideology, and most importantly, personal affect.
