Selected Case Studies

E-commerce in Asia has been receiving considerable attention as a result of the proliferation of Internet connectivity and technologies in the region. In response to this trend, Canada's International Development Research Centre (IDRC) commissioned four studies to investigate the various economic, social, methodological, and security issues related to this emerging business paradigm. The scope of these reports ranges from the policy environment in Vietnam to the empowerment of rural women's artisan groups in southern India. The studies were underaken to explore the technical and socioeconomic achievements and challenges faced by e-commerce in Asia, and to better understand the lessons learned and future developments of this dynamic business model.

In response to this trend, a series of studies to investigate the various economic, social, methodological, and security issues related to this emerging business paradigm.

Human Interface and the Management of Information. Information and Knowledge in Context

17th International Conference, HCI International 2015, Los Angeles, CA, USA, August 2-7, 2015, Proceedings

The two-volume set LNCS 9172 and 9173 constitutes the refereed proceedings of the Human Interface and the Management of Information thematic track, held as part of the 17th International Conference on Human-Computer Interaction, HCII 2015, held in Los Angeles, CA, USA, in August 2015, jointly with 15 other thematically similar conferences. The total of 1462 papers and 246 posters presented at the HCII 2015 conferences were carefully reviewed and selected from 4843 submissions. These papers address the latest research and development efforts and highlight the human aspects of design and use of computing systems. The papers accepted for presentation thoroughly cover the entire field of human-computer interaction, addressing major advances in knowledge and effective use of computers in a variety of application areas. This volume contains papers addressing the following major topics: context modelling and situational awareness; decision-support systems; information and interaction for driving; information and interaction for learning and education; information and interaction for culture and art; supporting work and collaboration; information and interaction for safety, security and reliability; information and interaction for novel advanced environments.

Metacognitive ability can be decomposed into three sub abilities: metacognitive
monitoring, control and knowledge. This study investigates correlation between
these sub abilities and score of map. The correlation presents, in learning with
KB map, which sub ability affect map score, that is, understanding of learner. The
result shows there is the correlation between metacognitive control and map
scores. From this result, it can be considered that Kb map helps learners to
monitoring ...

Teacher Training and Effective Pedagogy in the Context of Student Diversity

The purpose of this volume is twofold. First, the book attempts to initiate a researchbased dialogue from a variety of perspectives specifically about teacher training and teaching in the context of student linguistic and cultural diversity; and, second, to cast a wide net over three major areas of professional development that have the potential to impact on teacher quality and on the educational services provided to ELLs at all levels of instruction. This book represents a first attempt to a quiet revolution going on in teacher education (Johnson, 2000). It allows the reader to uncover research activities and experiences that constitute individual teacher education program initiatives. A revolution, because it is stirring the very essence of what stands at the core of teacher education, a core that has long been based more on training to teach monolingual English speaking students and less on teaching ELLs, their first and second language development, using their bilingualism to teach academics, and on the process of becoming an effective teacher of ELLs. This stateoftheart review brings together research on effective pedagogy and teacher training. The nine feature chapters are directly concerned with effective new structures and practices for professional development and are presented in a framework that considers a wide spectrum of topics to address issues such as: what teachers need to understand about English language learners, what kind of professional experiences are likely to facilitate those understandings, and what kinds of teacher education programs and school settings are able to support their ongoing learning. The authors also discuss the implications of their work for helping English language learners connect and benefit from school from the points of view of (1) school reform, (2) teachers’ bilingual proficiencies, (3) teachers’ knowledge and beliefs, and (4) teacher training programming and sustainability.

August and Hakuta's (1998) comprehensive review of research also found that
effective teachers of ELLs teach metacognitive strategies to students. There have
been several studies conducted with ELLs that have focused on their cognitive
reading strategies. Padrón, Knight, and ... In another study investigating the
relationship between students' perceptions of cognitive reading strategies and
gains in reading achievement, Padrón and Waxman (1988) found that certain
strategies ...

International research mobility into the Nordic Countries : a pilot study : contextual background, statistics, and policy measures

Thus, young foreign researchers and postdoctors would spend some time in a
top research environment, thus contributing to its excellence and expertise. When
these return to their home countries after this experience, they are key
researchers benefiting greatly to their country. This is a typical "Win-Win" situation
(OECD 2000b), based on an idea of life cycle of scientists and research systems,
and it is important to the global research system that this phenomenon can be
fostered and ...
