First, in order to correlate the knowledge of debris related to Japanese Eight Views, this paper constructs a database with information such as Japanese Eight Views voting data and pictures. Secondly, on the basis of the database, this paper creates the Eight Views culture teaching assist system, introduces the data and realizes the visual correlation of the knowledge module. Finally, this article uses the system to carry out teaching practice. Teaching practice proves that the use of the system is effective in improving students' learning interest and enthusiasm.","PeriodicalId":412662,"journal":{"name":"2017 International Conference of Educational Innovation through Technology (EITT)","volume":"54 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2017-12-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"121215410","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 paper focuses on the relationship between the teachers' teaching strategies, the students' academic burden and academic level. In this study, a questionnaire was first completed by the students in a middle school in Central China to evaluate their objective burden, subjective pressure and emotion of anxiety, and another was completed to evaluate their recognition of the teachers' teaching strategies. The students' academic level was represented by their exam scores. Then the method of structural equation model was used to explore the relationship between these five factors. The study found that the students' objective burden had a larger positive effect on their subjective pressure than on their academic level. The teachers' teaching strategies had a positive effect on the students' academic level. The students' anxiety had a negative effect on their academic level. This study provides a digital basis for quantifying the burden of students in different groups, reducing the burden on students and adjusting the use of teaching strategies.","PeriodicalId":412662,"journal":{"name":"2017 International Conference of Educational Innovation through Technology (EITT)","volume":"9 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2017-12-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"121305815","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}

Teachers shall update their knowledge base to meet the demands of instruction. Online training is an essential way for professional development of teachers. Compared with traditional training methods, online training can break the limits of time, space, and resources. However, recent surveys show that a number of teachers are not satisfied with the effects of online training, indicating that there are many deficiencies in online training. Teachers are main users of online training, and their satisfaction almost represents the quality of it. Therefore, we firstly build a model of factors influencing teachers' satisfaction online training, which is based on American Customer Satisfaction Index(ACSI) and characteristics of online training, and put forward six related hypotheses. Secondly, a questionnaire is designed on the basis of five variables(teacher expectation, teacher perceived quality, teacher satisfaction, teacher complaints and teacher loyalty), which is distributed to teachers from five schools in four cities. The collected data shows that perceived quality has a significant positive effect on teachers' satisfaction with online training. Finally, we put forward some advice on the basis of survey results to improve the quality of online training and teachers' satisfaction.","PeriodicalId":412662,"journal":{"name":"2017 International Conference of Educational Innovation through Technology (EITT)","volume":"30 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2017-12-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"122739501","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}

However, there are few studies that teacher support the reflection of students. The purpose of this study was to evaluate the method to support reflection of students. In this study, the students reflected on their learning activities with a web-based worksheet. Then the teacher evaluated the reflection contents of the students by the Rubric. This rubric was designed to guide the students toward better reflection. In addition, We changed questions that ask them what they learn from the latter half of the class.

Comparing to speaking, reading, and listening, most of the English learners considers listening to be the most difficult skill to acquire. The traditional way of teaching English as a second language mostly involves in slow and clear pronunciations. However, learners have difficulties learning through the traditional method. Many second language learning researchers pointed out that the reduced forms of English pronunciation have caused the difficulty in learning English for students [12]. The best way to learn the reduced form of English pronunciation is to listen to an extensive amount of English conversations in real world situations [9, 10, 11]. Movies and TV series can reflect real life situations; therefore, they are recommended for learning the reduced form of English according to many pieces of research [5]. Subtitles are often used to assist the understanding of the English learning videos. The learners may focus on the reading of the subtitles and tend to neglect the listening section. This research aims to select videos suitable for language learning, and also to develop a system that uses the App Inventor 2, an application developed by the MIT Center for Mobile Learning, to train the pronunciation of the students and enhance the listening ability of the students.","PeriodicalId":412662,"journal":{"name":"2017 International Conference of Educational Innovation through Technology (EITT)","volume":"1 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2017-12-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"133133798","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}
