Pre-service elementary teachers’ content, knowledge, and perceptions about representations of linear functions are a major factor that affects students’ concept building and learning processes. This study reports pre-service elementary teachers’ misconceptions and limited understanding of linear functions and slope. The findings intended to pinpoint the participating pre-service elementary teachers’ knowledge regarding linear function and slope. Forty-three pre-service elementary teachers in South Minnesota participated for Diagnostic Test (DT). The DT included six categories as determine the slope, determine points on the linear function, find linear function by using points, determine linear function with perpendicular line, determine linear function with parallel line, and understand properties of linear function and slope. Thirteen items were compiled into six categories with distinctive attributes in relation to linear function and slope. Derived from the DT, average number of items correctly answered by pre-service elementary teachers is 5.53; the percentage of correctly responses is 42.53%. In this study, a passing benchmark of 70% was considered to assess participants’ content competency as a qualified elementary teacher’s licensure for Minnesota Essential Academic Skills with Math. When 70% (9 items) of correctness was used as the passing rate of this instrument, only 11.6% of the pre-service teachers reached that standard. Overall, the pre-service elementary teachers performed rather inadequately on the DT. The data shows that the percent of correct response of determining linear function with perpendicular line 10.47%, determining linear function with parallel line 20.07% of DT was relatively low when compared with find linear function by using points 60.46%, understand properties of linear function and slope 53.37%. The findings of study suggest that pre-service elementary teachers exhibit difficulties with transformation between graphical and algebraic representations of slopes that may be indicative of a lack of conceptual understanding of the meaning and properties of slope. The data also reveals that pre-service teachers had difficulties with determining linear function with perpendicular line, determining linear function with parallel lines, and understand properties of linear functions. The results suggested that the participating teacher candidates possessed a poor understanding of content knowledge in this significant content area, which may point to unsuccessful performance on the upcoming certification test and in subsequent teaching practice.","PeriodicalId":159185,"journal":{"name":"US-China education review","volume":"06 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2020-01-28","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"130707654","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

At the local port, the students in this program were given an opportunity to communicate with overseas passengers on the cruise ship in English. In Japan, our students often find it difficult to use English after they finish their lessons on campus and therefore the authors of this study believe that the field trip in this program would be beneficial to our students. The aim of this study is to explore the perception of the overseas tourists towards English as a foreign language (EFL) learners in Japan. A small-scale questionnaire was used for the data analysis and a total of 15 responses were analyzed. The results of this study showed that overall, overseas passengers enjoyed participating in our intensive program and they reported that even though Japanese students tended to be shy to speak, they found the Japanese students’ command of English to be good. Based on the results of this study, introducing speaking activities in class before we take our students to the field trip is recommended in order to make this field trip more effective in the future.","PeriodicalId":159185,"journal":{"name":"US-China education review","volume":"8 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2018-05-28","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"131139618","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

It considers the issues that either hinder or promote engagement with young peoples and the way that is affected by some groups in context and practice.

The new ways of college students’ ideological and political education under the mobile phone APP environment have been actively explored. The embedded development and design of the ideological and political education system for college students are carried out on the mobile phone network platform, and the PCI bus technology is adopted to carry out the information transmission and resource scheduling of the college students’ ideological and political education under the mobile phone network platform environment. In order to improve the ability of information transmission and resource scheduling of college students’ ideological and political education, the mobile phone network platform for ideological and political education of college students is developed under the development platform of CCS 2.20 by using multi-channel serial port technology. The test results show that the platform has good intelligence and strong network transmission ability to carry out ideological and political education for college students, and the quality level of ideological and political education of college students is improved.","PeriodicalId":159185,"journal":{"name":"US-China education review","volume":"7 10 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2018-04-28","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"128770221","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
