Article Summary
The study by Jiang, Tang, Peng and Liu (2018) looks at using social networks as a tool to facilitate collaboration among students and interaction between teachers and students in a Chinese high school. The investigations into the utility of social networks were conducted among various design and technology classrooms in high schools throughout China. Based on the findings, Jiang et al. (2018) were able to produce a theoretical framework for web-based design learning and teaching system in the style of social networking. They tested their framework and found that the most important features of the framework are its ability to facilitate innovation, collaboration, and interaction.
The researchers additionally “validated necessary techniques and design features required to make an education-related social networking site effective and affective for the students and teachers” (Jiang et al., 2018, p. 189). The overall finding was that social networking sites help to enhance the collaborative and interactive aspects of learning for design and technology students and teachers.
The study begins with a discussion of the prevalence of social media usage in China with nearly 500 million people using social media, or 1 in 3 Chinese. Teenagers make up a substantial portion of the social media using...
With 1000 design schools but only 10 of them being of high quality, there is a problem of deficiency in Chinese design schools that needs to be addressed. Design education at the high school levels lags behind Europe and the US. Because Chinese schools focus on memorization, the students miss out on the collaborative and interactive experience needed for design education. In order for innovation and creativity to be encouraged, schools should focus less on memorization and more on collaboration and interaction. That is where using social networking comes into play.
The research question the study asked was ‘‘How does integrated social networking and computational techniques support design education in high schools in China?” (Jiang et al., 2018, p. 194). The researchers described the social networking site used as one that allow engagement with participants, content and teachers to come together in an overlapping and integrative manner.
The researchers monitored discussions by group…
Social Media as a Potential Tool in Conflict Resolution: A Facebook Perspective Humans are social animals, and will usually dwell together in communities, based on their beliefs, resources, preferences, needs, risks, and a number of other conditions which may be present and common, affecting the identity of the participants and their degree of cohesiveness. Community In sociology the word community is often used to refer to a group that is organized around common
These are the researchers who completed the HTML, DHTML vs. AJAX application performance on XML (Yang, Liao, Fang, 2007) and the XML network optimization research completed across a replicated server and transaction-based methodology (Smullen, Smullen, 2009). Efforts will be made to collaborate with these researchers to learn from their expertise that has not been published in their analyses and also to collaborate on how to capture XML network optimization
COMMUNICATIONS & TECHNOLOGY IN EDUCATION Education Part One ~ Mission Statement The Partnership for 21st Century Learning (P21) contends that 21st century learning, no matter where it takes place, should accomplish a few primary objectives and a series of secondary objectives. (2012, www.p21.org) P21 knows that the use of technology cannot be ignored and that the use of technology within the classroom should be interactive as well as educational. The four primary objectives
The last century has seen an increase in the level of international purchases which has been supported by the developments in transportation and technology. Goods can move faster than before with developments in logistics. The negotiation and forming contracts for purchase with companies and communicate with potential suppliers in distant countries is also easier than in the past with the internet and tools such as video conferencing and emails.
Canada's international education strategy focuses on attracting foreign learners, encouraging Canadian students to gain international experience, and fostering global ties and cultural exchanges. In a world that has become increasingly interconnected through globalization, the ability to navigate multiple cultures, languages, and markets is invaluable. It is with this awareness that Canada actively seeks to position itself as a destination of choice for international students. Since the inception of its international education
8%) and all were s-commerce users. 58.2% were Korean natives, 14.6% were Chinese and 10.8% were American. 9.7% were European and 6.7% were Japanese. The majority used s-commerce to purchase tickets for entertainment (44.5%) and 67% had been using s-commerce for more than two years. The study shows that transaction safety (.480) and reputation (.450) both at the .01 level of significance, most contribute to trust in an s-commerce platform. The
