Extending the Technology Acceptance Model with Personal Innovativeness and Technology Readiness : A Comparison of Three Models
2016
This study concentrates on the role of personal traits in technology acceptance by comparing which of the two personal trait constructs commonly used in IS research, personal innovativeness in the domain of information technology (PIIT) or technology readiness index (TRI), performs better in terms of promoting the explanatory power of the technology acceptance model (TAM). The comparisons are conducted in the case context of online services offered by electric suppliers, and the study is based on the data collected from 1,176 consumers through an online survey and analysed by using structural equation modelling (SEM). The findings of the study show that the inclusion of both PIIT and TRI in…
Emotions in Technology Design
2020
Understanding emotions is becoming ever more valuable in design, both in terms of what people prefer as well as in relation to how they behave in relation to it. Approaches to conceptualising emotions in technology design, how emotions can be operationalised and how they can be measured are paramount to ascertaining the core principles of design.Emotions in Technology Design: From Experience to Ethics provides a multi-dimensional approach to studying, designing and comprehending emotions in design. It presents emotions as understood through basic human-technology research, applied design practice, culture and aesthetics, ethical approaches to emotional design, and ethics as a cultural frame…
Influence of the learning environment on the representational strategies of middle school music students: an intervention-based study
2015
The purpose of this study was to examine the effects of a hypermedia learning environment on middle school students' meta-representational competence (MRC) in the domain of music. Particularly, we aimed at determining whether an educational intervention influenced the accuracy with which middle school students matched sounds (sonic fragments) to symbols (graphic representations). The students were randomly allocated to the experimental condition. An intervention was set up so that the experimental group students (E) were provided with scaffolding aimed at enhancing their use of constructive resources to generate representations and their critical capabilities to judge them. On the other han…
Kriptogrāfisko valūtu ietekme uz starptautisko ekonomiku
2018
Mūsdienu pasaulē jau ir aptuveni tūkstotis dažādu kriptogrāfisko valūtu, no kurām populārākā ir bitkoins. Pieprasījums pēc šīs valūtas ir pieaudzis rekordlielā ātrumā un joprojām nav nokrities līdz tādiem skaitļiem, kādi bija pašā bitkoinu sākumā. Kriptogrāfiskās valūtas piesaista lielu uzmanību un lielākā daļa cilvēku mēģina izprast, kā tās darbojās. Pastāv daudzi viedokļi par kriptogrāfiskajām valūtām: 1. Kriptogrāfiskās valūtas noteikti mainīs pasauli. 2. Kriptogrāfiskajai valūtai piemīt burbuļa efekts un tuvākajā nākotnē tā pazudīs. 3. Kriptogrāfiskās valūtas ir jauns naudas veids, kurš sniedz dažādas priekšrocības tās lietotājiem. Gandrīz visas kriptogrāfiskās valūtas darbojās ar blokķ…
Stratēģijas skolēnu digitālās lasīšanas prasmju attīstīšanai angļu valodas stundās 7. klasē
2022
Lai lasītu digitālajā vidē ir jāattīsta īpašas digitālās lasītprasmes, piemēram, navigācijas prasmes un pašregulācija. Lasīšanas stratēģijas palīdz pielietot un attīstīt digitālās lasīšanas prasmes. Diplomdarba mērķis bija noteikt, kā lasīšanas stratēģiju īstenošana attīsta digitālās lasītprasmes angļu valodas stundās 7. klasē. Izvēlētā pētījuma metode bija gadījuma izpēte. Datu vākšanas metodes bija skolēnu aptauja, intervijas ar diviem skolotājiem, lasīšanas nodarbību novērojumi, skolēnu grafikas organizatori un mājas uzdevumi. Rezultāti liecina, ka skolotājiem un skolēniem ir pozitīva attieksme pret digitālo lasīšanu angļu valodas stundās. Tomēr studentiem ir nepieciešama papildu palīdzī…
Lifelong learning : Formal, non-formal and informal learning in the context of the use of problem-solving skills in technology rich environments
2019
The evolving technological landscape in the digital era has a crucial influence on lifelong learning and the demand for problem‐solving skills. In this paper, we identify associations between formal, non‐formal and informal learning with sufficient problem‐solving skills in technology‐rich environments (TRE). We focus on adults' problem‐solving skills in TRE as a novel approach to investigate formal, non‐formal and informal learning based on data from the Programme for the International Assessment of Adult Competencies. This programme measured 16–64‐year‐old adults' proficiency in problem‐solving skills in TRE. The total sample size was 61 654 individuals from 13 European countries. Our res…
The new face of university–business cooperation in Finland
2016
This paper analyses the development of university-business cooperation (UBC) in Finland in the context of the University Reform Act of 2009, drawing on the experience of four universities: Aalto University, University of Jyvaskyla, University of Turku, and Lappeenranta University of Technology. Six UBC dimensions are examined: institutional context, stakeholders, motivations, facilitators/inhibitors, benefits, and drawbacks. We find that UBC, while a relatively recent process, is growing fast in dynamic local innovation and entrepreneurship ecosystems. The University Act of 2009 had an uneven effect on the six UBC dimensions, with the most visible impact being manifested on motivations. Aal…
Educación XX1 : revista de la Facultad de Educación
2016
Resumen basado en el de la publicación Título, resumen y palabras clave también en inglés Se indaga sobre las evidencias en torno a cómo se reciben en los centros escolares los equipamientos tecnológicos (el KidSmart en este caso). Se asume, a modo de hipótesis, que el grado de asimilación por parte de los miembros de la organización de la tecnología transferida, es un factor determinante del grado de uso. El trabajo de campo se realiza en los centros de educación infantil que participan en el proyecto «El Rincón del Ratón». Mediante grabaciones de clase, encuestas y observaciones se ha tratado de obtener evidencias sobre el problema de investigación. Los primeros resultados ponen de manifi…
Utility of Alternative Effect Size Statistics and the Development of a Web-Based Calculator: Shiny-AESC
2018
Alternative displays of effect size statistics can enhance the understandability and impact of validity evidence in a variety of applied settings. Arguably, the proliferation of alternative effect size statistics has been limited due to the lack of user-friendly tools to create them. Common statistical packages do not readily produce these alternative effect sizes and existing tools are outdated and inaccessible. In this paper, I introduce a free-to-use web-based calculator (https://dczhang.shinyapps.io/expectancyApp/) for generating alternative effect size displays from empirical data. This calculator requires no mathematical or programming expertise, and therefore, is ideal for academics …
