Such approaches might enable students to ace in standardized Mathematics examinations but they do not acquire robust conceptual understandings of algebraic principles and concepts. This has resulted in growing calls for reforms in traditional ways of algebra instructions to re-conceptualise and invigorate the learning of algebra content in schools. In this paper, an instructional intervention that implemented a function-based generative activity design approach supported by the capabilities of next-generation classroom networks as an alternative to traditional algebra pedagogy is described. The findings of the study examine the pedagogical efficacy and impact of this intervention on students' algebra learning performance.","PeriodicalId":242221,"journal":{"name":"Journal on School Educational Technology","volume":"47 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2012-08-15","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"115775311","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}

Compared to the prior generation a few years ago, storage capacity and screen size of mobile devices as well as transfer speed of wireless connections have significantly increased. Equipped with mobile devices, learners can conduct learning activities at anytime anywhere. M-learning is learning that is not constrained to a physical space or specific time and learning that is supported by communication with embedded computing elements in the environment on every move of the learner (Thiyagu, K, 2009). The main aim of the study is to assess the perception towards mobile learning activities among post graduate students in Viruudhunagar district. Survey method is employed for this study. The investigator has chosen 230 post graduate students as a sample for the study in a random sampling technique. Finally the investigator concludes; (i) There is no significant difference in perception towards mobile learning activities among the post graduate students with respect to their course in terms (ii) There is no significant difference in perception towards mobile learning activities among the post graduate students with respect to their Father's Educational Qualifications and father's occupation.","PeriodicalId":242221,"journal":{"name":"Journal on School Educational Technology","volume":"1 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2012-08-15","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"115176971","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}

The study is planned along the lines of correlational and ex-post-facto research design. A sample of four hundred university science based undergraduates admitted 2006/2007 session which was made up of 100students selected from each of the four purposively selected universities from south west Nigeria using stratified sampling technique Participated in the study. An inventory titled “mode of entry characteristics and academic achievement proforma” was used to collect data from records. The data were subjected to Pearson Product Moment Correlation and multiple regression (Backward solution) analysis. Result reveled that as much as 17.1% of the variations in CGPA is explained by the linear combination of three predictor variables, while pre-degree scores indicated significant contribution to the prediction, UME showed negative contribution to the prediction. The result also showed that significant relationship exists between the independent variables (Pre degree, Post UME scores) and CGPA while there was low relationship between UME and CGPA. Based on the findings of the study, there is need to further strengthen and uphold the pre-degree programme and post-UME tests for continuous utilization as means of recruiting viable candidates for university admission purpose.","PeriodicalId":242221,"journal":{"name":"Journal on School Educational Technology","volume":"32 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2012-08-15","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"123478401","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}

This agreement is initially provisional and after scrutiny, if found fit, it is upgraded to Signatory status. It is this status which empowers students of engineering, to become internationally mobile to harness job opportunities in world market. It facilitates mutual recognition of professional qualifications and reduces barriers between nations for mobility of engineering personnel for employment, career advancement and pursuing higher education. However, there are problems in adoption and implementation. The problems are in respect of scope of the institutions which ought to include now more of research & development. Research needs to be increased with a view to enlarge student's innovation capacity and imagination to global level. The paper attempts to identify the problems and evolve possible solutions. India, to be able to fulfil its declared dream of becoming a developed nation by 2020, needs not simple professionals, but movers & shakers, technology pioneers and industry leaders of world class standard, which can come only by becoming member of the international agreement. The paper takes a note of the discussions and deliberations in World Summit on Accreditation (WOSA 2012) held in Delhi from March 25-28, 2012 and argue that now National Board of Accreditation [NBA] an autonomous body should not remain just doing inspection to measure and certify quality. But it should guide colleges to diagnose problems and give appropriate prescriptions to improve. NBA should assert and be objective enough without fear and favour, in public interest, to give signals to improve physical infrastructure and academic culture. It is understandable that to begin with only a few institutions will come up to global standards. But we must begin somewhere; the number will rise from year to year. Unaccredited institutions simultaneously may continue producing graduates, and they should be pursuing to attain international standards. International accreditation Council of Quality education and Research [IACQER] which is an organization in the world works along with the institutions to upgrade their education and research standards. Our institutions must have to associate to take guidance (Dinesh, 2012). Although HRD minister Hon Kapil Sibble in the conference speech expressed desire to make accreditation obligatory, at present juncture of time, due to inherent problems some of which are outlined below, it is difficult. In the initial stages till institutions are accredited they will have to remain unaccredited. They cannot be accredited right at birth.Younger generation is seeking increased mobility and wider access to opportunity in world market for employment, career advancement and pursuing higher studies. This necessitates adoption of international standards.

It is a “voluntary student-led pledge that the goal of business managers is to 'serve the greater good.' It promises that Harvard M.B.A.[s] will act responsibly, ethically, and refrain from advancing their 'own narrow ambitions' at the expense of others” (Wayne, 2009, p.1). As of 2009, 450 of 900 graduates have signed with thousands of supportive fans on Twitter and Facebook. As of 2012, more than 6500 students support this Oath (M.B.A. Oath Website, 2012). In the wake of the Enron scandal, Wall Street disaster, and subsequent fiscal “Depression,” students should view teachers and administrators as ethical beings. Any K-12 or college setting has always been a “sheltered entity,” preparing students for the future but in a fashion that does not force them immediately into reality. This review of the literature will analyze the eight tenets of the M.B.A. Oath,while dividing them into three applicable areas: personal maintenance, accountability, and aiding student progression. The first two areas must be effectively monitored before progressing to the third: ultimately concluding that moral will and reason must align to the human connection (Johannesen, Valde, & Whedbee, 2008).","PeriodicalId":242221,"journal":{"name":"Journal on School Educational Technology","volume":"241 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2012-05-15","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"122716250","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}
