The application and perspective of information and communication technology (ICT) in teaching by teachers determine the end and promotion of IT. However, our understanding of how to empirically conceptualize and assess teaching efficiency of the fit remains limited. Therefore, this study adopts resource orchestration theory and appropriate literature evaluation methods to conceptualize and operationalize \"fit\" from the perspective of resource configuration. According to the ICT in Education Technical Report, each 100 ISCED schools in 31 countries are surveyed to provide an empirical study on the relationship and quality between ICT competence and teachers’ attitudes level on the overall teaching efficiency. In particular, the use of fit as a “moderation” approach suggests that ICT can strengthen the relationship between teachers’ attitudes and teaching efficiency. Fit as a “profile deviation” method further reveals that teachers whose ICT competence configurations are similar to those of the top performers in the high-level teachers’ attitude group have higher teaching efficiency. The theoretical contributions and managerial implications of the study are discussed.","PeriodicalId":273698,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings of the 13th International Conference on Education Technology and Computers","volume":"40 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-10-22","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"132390490","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}

Additionally, students’ initial English level had a moderating effect, with average students benefiting most from the usage of mind maps.

The purpose of this research is to develop a system that enables visually impaired people to walk straight toward their goals. The system captures the direction ahead with a small camera held in the hand, recognizes the object in the direction of travel from the image using pre-trained AI, and presents it to the visually impaired by voice. The user sets the target object in the direction of travel from the presented objects. The system detects the deviation from the target from the camera image while walking, instructs the user the deviation and the direction of travel by voice, and assists the user to walk straight toward the target.","PeriodicalId":273698,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings of the 13th International Conference on Education Technology and Computers","volume":"119 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-10-22","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"126849554","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}
