However, different social influences in a classroom, such as academic prestige, friendship, and gender, may impact students’ referencing behavior. Specifically, we investigated how various factors affect pupils’ referencing of peer-generated questions during an online test-construction learning activity and perceptions. Three fifth-grade classes ( n = 75, Mage = 11.08, SD age = 0.28) participated in a two-stage mixed methods research for 12 weeks. We found significant effects of friendship and inferred task-specific ability on online referencing behavior based on the multiple regression quadratic assignment procedures, simple regressions, and two-step hierarchical linear regressions. The survey data further revealed that students considered the content of their peers' questions most frequently among a mixture of other factors influencing on...

Also, in response to a call for more intervention-type studies in TAM, a technology diffusion approach to one specific soft-technology (student question generation learning strategy) was devised. Its impacts on learners’ perceived task value, learning approaches and their relationships were the focuses of this study. Results of t-tests and regression analyses indicated that learners in the diffusion group perceived the introduced learning strategy as having significantly higher value than did the non-diffusion group. Additionally, learners in the nondiffusion group were inclined to adopt the surface learning approach more frequently than the diffusion group. Last, the prediction effect of task value on learning approaches was supported for the deep learning approach for both groups but was not supported for the surface learning approach for either group. Empirical significance of the study as well as suggestions for instructional implementation and future studies are provided.[[notice]]補正完畢[[journaltype]]國外[[ispeerreviewed]]Y[[booktype]]電子版[[booktype]]紙本[[countrycodes]]SG

However, research on the learning effects of different procedural prompts for students in SGQ is scarce. Using a group of 55 English language learners, this paper will argue that students in SGQ will benefit differently from procedural prompts with their different degrees of structures. Based on the results of paired t-test, students in SGQ were found to perform better on the online SGQ task with the 'main idea' procedural prompt than with the 'what-if-not' procedural prompt in the fluency index. Yet, no significant differences were observed between the two provided procedural prompts in the flexibility index.

Design: Prospective sampling of the Internet presence of emergency medicine programs. Methods: Information on emergency medicine residency programs listed on websites was evaluated. Departmental websites were accessed directly from search engines. Each site was assessed for the presence, extent, and type of postings in relation to the following four major categories: contact information, training contents, faculty and research, patient care and benefit. Results: Thirty-nine training programs were found in Taiwan in 2003. Moreover, 27 of these programs had relevant websites numbered (79.2%). Website resources were highest in chairman's names (96.3%), numbers of faculty (74.1%), and description of faculty (63%). Web resource available was correlated with medical center program, but not with training hospital site, medical school su...
