Podcasting in education: Are students as ready and eager as we think they are?

Instructors in higher education are disseminating instructional content via podcasting, as many rally behind the technology’s potential benefits. Others have expressed concern about the risks of deleterious effects that might accompany the adoption of podcasting, such as lower class attendance. Yet, relatively few studies have investigated students’ perceptions of podcasting for educational purposes, especially in relation to different podcasting forms: repetitive and supplemental. The present study explored students’ readiness and attitudes towards these two forms of podcasting to provide fundamental information for future researchers and educators. The results indicated that students may not be as ready or eager to use podcasting for repetitive or supplemental educational purposes as much as we think they are, but they could be persuaded.     

Exploring the relationship between Internet ethics in university students and the big five model of personality

The widespread use of the Internet and the convenient mechanism it provides, such as easy access, easy downloads, and easy copy and paste functions have made many types of unethical behaviors easier, particularly those involving students in academic settings. Among the issues in ethics within the academic environment that can be triggered by the Internet are fraudulence, plagiarism, falsification, delinquency, unauthorized help, and facility misuse. Given these issues, the study seeks to investigate the extent to which students at a public university in Malaysia engage in such unethical behavior and their relationship with the big five personality model. This study was conducted using a survey method of 252 students in three different academic faculties. The results of factor analyses confirm and refine the reliability of the scales for both big five personality variables and unethical Internet behaviors as conceptualized through Internet triggered academic dishonesty (ITADS). The findings indicate that personality traits such as (1) agreeableness, (2) conscientiousness and (3) emotional stability are significantly and negatively correlated with unethical Internet behavior in university students. Significant differences in facility misuse are also observed between the three academic faculties investigated. This research should provide significant contributions to educators in designing the computer ethics curriculum and in allowing for educational institutions as well as other organizations in developing relevant policies and guidelines on matters pertaining to academic conduct, utilization of computers and Internet, and recruitment exercises.     

高职电子技术课程的兴趣教学法

高职院校学生学习基础相对较差,对于传统的课堂教育难以适应,提出在电子技术教学中实施兴趣教学法,提高学生主动学习的积极性,也有助于提高教学质量。电子技术课实践性强,几乎每堂课都会涉及到实验,这样可以长期在实验室上课或者在教室做演示实验,每次课前教师列一个清单让学生提前到实验室准备好实验器材,学生在准备器材的过程中就会带着疑问：这是做什么用的呢？学生有了疑问就会有学习的好奇心,进而也就激发了对该课程的学习兴趣。

Mathematics for Architecture: Some European Experiences

Orietta Pedemonte studies how mathematics in taught in faculties or schools of architecture in Belgium, Portugal, France, Switzerland and Spain, comparing course organizations, subjects offered and entrance requirements. Which and how much mathematics for architecture? What kind of teaching? Is it better to have information on many aspects, or a deeper insight into only a few? Is it better to privilege a historical-philosophical overview, or to focus aspects of application that are current today? These are some of the questions that are raised by whoever deals with teaching mathematics in a faculty or school of architecture.
