Reading with Mom: Reading Habits among Rural Readers in Sarawak

The role of the mother in the literacy development of a child has been well studied, but only a few have linked this development with reading habits practiced amongst nonnative English-speaking mothers. The current study investigates the choices of English language reading materials for at home reading activities for the mother and child in addition to the motivation that influences this reading habit. Results from the 31 participants from a rural area of Sarawak have shown a significant pattern in favor of fiction genre materials compared to nonfiction reading materials for at home reading activities. This suggests that the variety of information from the fiction-based materials draws more interest and motivation for these mothers to read with their children. Other factors which determine the choices of materials are the proficiency levels of these nonnative English-speaking mothers and the age of the child involved. The findings are significant because this population is often overlooked and thus this study supplements the perspectives of nonnative English-speaking mothers toward literacy activities in the home.
Layered Feature Recognition Algorithm Based on Combined Convolution

In recent years, the deep learning algorithms were gradually understood and accepted.It needs to take too many samples to train.Since the implementation of deep learning algorithm, it seems that the past classical algorithms have become gloomy.In this paper, we get an intelligent pattern recognition model by combining some classical algorithms in the past and extrapolating the convolution algorithm.This new model is based on a single regular sample, with its advanced generalization capabilities far beyond those of deep learning algorithms.Experimental results on MNIST, QMNIST, CMU PIE and Extended Yale B databases indicate that the proposed model is better than the related methods as compared with.

Educational Environment of Higher Educational Establishments as the Factor of Forming the Future Foreing Languages Teachers’ Conflict Competence

The article is devoted to the problem of the educational environment of higher educational establishments as the factor of forming the future foreing languages teachers’ conflict competence. In this article, the essence of the following notions has been analyzed: educational environment in higher educational establishments, teaching environment, educational space. The notions of «educational space» and «teaching environment» have been given detailed description; the notion of «educational environment» is regarded in contemporary scientific literature from the point of view of institutional approach (social environment) and substantial approach (personal environment). The author of the article notes that the educational environment of a higher educational establishment is viewed as the system of different impacts and conditions for creating personality with the help of modern technologies and educational content. Also it is regarded as complex phenomenon of requirements and modes of behavior which are used for professional and personal growth of future teachers. The author claims that the notions of «educational environment» and «educational space» are closely connected: an educational space is defined as a special sphere of sociocultural practices that includes educational environment as the total of social and educational conditions which influence the personality of a student and its future professional orientation. While analyzing the structure of educational environment the author examined its components taking into consideration the peculiarities of professional growth of the future teachers of foreign languages: resourse-technological, intrapersonal, strategic-technological, sociocultural and communicative. These structural elements of analyzed phenomenon have been given detailed observation. It is also noted that the investigation of the structure of educational environment is interconnected with the topic under consideration – the formation of conflict competence of the future foreign languages teachers.&#x0D; The prospects for further exploration are seen by the author in highlighting a strategic line for the formation of the future foreign languages teachers’ conflictual competence with the application of certain pedagogical technologies in the educational environment of higher education institutions.

본 연구의 목적은 조선시대에 서원을 운영하는 근간이 되었던 ‘원규(院規)’에서 엿보이는 현대 교육적 시사점을 도출하고, 이 공간에서 행해졌던 교육방법의 현대적 활용 방안을 고찰하는 것이다. 그리고 이를 통해 서원에 대한 교육 현장의 관심을 고취시키는 것이 본 연구의 궁극적인 목적이다. 이러한 연구 목적의 달성을 위해, ⓐ 본 연구에서는 먼저 이황의 ‘이산서원 원규’, 이이의 ‘은병정사 학규’, 정구의 ‘도동서원 원규’ 등을 분석하여, 현대 교육적 시사점을 세 가지로 도출하였다. 첫째는 서원의 원규가 학교의 본질 및 가치가 무엇인지 재고할 수 있는 기회를 준다는 점이고, 둘째는 공부의 근본적인 목적과 요구되는 자세가 무엇인지 숙고할 수 있는 기회를 제공한다는 점이며, 셋째는 스승과 제자 사이의 관계, 즉 사도와 존사에 대해 생각할 수 있는 기회를 부여한다는 점이다. ⓑ 다음으로 본 연구에서는 정구의 ‘강법’, 김원행의 ‘석실서원 강규’, 호계서원의 &#65378;강회 일기&#65379; 등을 분석하여, 서원 강회의 현대 교육적 활용 방안을 두 가지 측면에서 고찰하였다. 첫째는 &#985172;2015 도덕과 교육과정&#985173;에서 신설된 <고전과 윤리> 과목의 실제 수업 운영에서 강회의 규칙이나 진행 순서 등을 적극 활용할 수 있다는 것이고, 둘째는 강회에서 엿볼 수 있는 유생들의 토론 태도 및 기법을 <윤리와 사상> 과목의 수업에서 활용할 수 있다는 것이다. ⓒ 마지막으로 본 연구에서는 두 가지 후속과제들에 대해 언급하였다. 첫째는 강회를 활용한 교육방법을 일반화된 교수&#8901;학습 및 평가 방법의 수준으로 승화시켜 현장에 보급하고 다시 현장의 피드백(feedback)을 받아 지속적으로 개선해 나가야 한다는 것이고, 둘째는 발굴되지 않았거나 제대로 번역되지 않은 ‘서원지’ 등을 꾸준히 발굴, 번역 및 소개함으로써 서원에서 발견할 수 있는 생동적인 강회의 모습을 포착해야 한다는 것이다.The purpose of this study is to draw modern educational implications from wongyu(院規), which was the foundation of seowon(書院) during the Joseon Dynasty, and to consider the modern use of the educational methods practiced in seowon. And the ultimate purpose of this study is to promote the interest of the educational field about the seowon. ⓐ This study first analyzed various kinds of wongyus and drew three modern educational implications. First, wongyu presents an opportunity to reconsider what the nature and value of the school is. Second, wongyu provides an opportunity to contemplate the fundamental purpose of study and what posture is required. Third, wongyu gives an opportunity to think about the right relationship between the teacher and the student. ⓑ This study then analyzed the data on ganghye(講會) and considered two aspects of the modern educational use of seowon ganghye. First, the rules of ganghye or the order of progress can be actively utilized in the actual operation of the new subject <Classics and Ethics>. Second, the debate attitudes and techniques of the Confucian scholar as seen in ganghye can be used in the class of <Ethics and Thoughts>. ⓒ Finally, this study mentioned two follow-up tasks. First, the education method using ganghye should be developed to the level of generalized teaching learning and evaluation method, distributed to the class site, and continuously improved after receiving feedback from the site. Second, by steadily excavating, translating and introducing materials that have not been excavated or properly translated, we should capture the lively ganghye we can find in seowon during the Joseon Dynasty.

Study and Practice on Course Assessment Mode with Ability Training as the Core

Traditional assessment mode is suitable for evaluating knowledge, and is not suitable for evaluating ability. Focusing on ability training, the assessment mode combining formativeness and finality is proposed. Analyzing problem and solving problem ability, autonomous learning ability, information acquisition and expression ability, engineering practice ability and innovative thinking ability are evaluated through classroom interaction, homework, unit test, self-learning, experiment and final exam. Various questions suitable for ability assessment are drew up, such as thinking questions, discussion questions, investigation questions, analysis questions, application questions, design questions, etc. Ability is practical skill and personalized psychological characteristics for successfully completing a certain activity. Higher education is changing from teacher-centered to student-centered, is changing from knowledge learning to comprehensive training of knowledge, ability and quality[1]. The training objectives, graduation requirements and curriculum system have been revised, the teaching objectives and methods of the course have also been revised accordingly. The assessment mode, assessment standard and test questions of the course should also be modified[2]. Both knowledge and ability should be examined. Based on the course of data communication and network technology, the assessment mode and content suitable for ability training are discussed in this paper

Perspectives about voiceprints

Forensic literature often claims “voiceprints” as an acceptable way to carry out forensic speaker identification. However, that assertion does not seem valid. Many advances in the area of speaker identification (SI) have occurred during the past five decades. Hence, it would appear useful to provide both a historical review and current perspectives of the “voiceprint” issue. The review also discusses other more advanced approaches to speaker identification, and provides a brief overview of the efficacy and future prospects of these newer approaches to speaker identification.
Robotic Flight Simulator

The system purposed is a Robotic Flight Simulator. The system further develops human-robot interactions by utilizing vision processing and a collaborative robotic arm to interact with the user. This is one more step towards having robots respond to gestures, facial expressions, and human motion in real time. The vision system utilizes OpenCV written in python to handle the vision processing and communicates to a Kuka iiwa robot that manipulates the end effector around a person within arc. The end effector is a small control panel outfitted to look like a mini mockup of a control panel for user interaction. This is a static / dynamic robot system where the robot has a specified route it will follow but it is based on human feedback through vision. In the future, using this progress, we will be able to further improve upon more dynamic robot systems that react with human feedback. Most robotic arm solutions involve static paths that do not change based off of human input. With the rise in collaborative tasks between humans and robots within the industry, it is imperative that the technology be developed to further develop these interactions. A possibility with this research is to create a robotic system that is able to care for the elderly or sick with simple tasks, such as lifting a table or reaching for items on the floor.
Czech Experience of Future Teachers Training to Work in the Conditions of Inclusive Education

The article examines the Czech experience of future elementary school teachers training for activities in the context of inclusive education. The main models of inclusive education in the world and specifically the Czech Republic are considered. The basic laws concerning the training of teachers, special teachers, assistants are analyzed. The basic teachers’ competences are determined according to the Czech standard of the teacher’s profession quality; the necessary conditions for conferring the qualification of primary and secondary school teachers are defined. The system of higher education in the Czech Republic and the educational programs of leading higher educational institutions for the preparation of primary school teachers and special teachers are considered. The Charles University and the Masaryk University were selected for the research as leading, because these institutions ranked the highest in world rankings. The article acquaints readers with the activity of pedagogical faculties of both universities. The particular attention was paid to the activities of the departments of pedagogy and special pedagogy. The curricula of training teachers, assistant teachers for a work in inclusive education were analyzed. This made it possible to state that bachelor/master’s programs were designed to provide graduates with the necessary knowledge, ethical values and practical skills necessary for constructing a pedagogical career. The contents of the bachelor/master’s program provides an extensive and deep knowledge in the fields of inclusive education, including the theory of special pedagogy, the necessary skills and abilities in providing medical services, knowledge of the behavior of a child with different pathologies or abnormalities. It is found that a theoretical training is given to most of the study time, the courses of in-depth specialization are offered. It is determined that in the process of special teachers’ professional training in the Czech Republic, three main components can be distinguished: general pedagogical, special pedagogical, specialization with a choice in two main types of A and B. The bachelor training is carried out in two models: simultaneous (parallel, integrative) and sequential. During the study, it was emphasized that an adherence to the unified structure of training bachelors/masters of special education for all institutions of higher education in the Czech Republic contributes to improving their theoretical, methodological and practical basis, facilitates the students’ transition from one educational institution to another, an admission to a magistracy in another institution of higher education, gives a few specializations. Consequently, the peculiarities and positive aspects of training specialists for a work in the conditions of inclusive education in the Czech Republic are highlighted in this article as those, that could be used in Ukraine taking into account the peculiarities and traditions of the national high school.
Estimation of Parameters of Two Non-linear Regression Models Using Assumed Values: Reciprocal Power Regression Models

Fitting nonlinear models is not a single-step procedure but it involved a process that requires careful examination of each individual step. Depending on the objective and the application domain, different priorities are set when fitting nonlinear models; these include obtaining acceptable parameter estimates and a good model fit while meeting standard assumptions of statistical models. We propose steps in fitting nonlinear models in this research work. Two reciprocal power regression models were considered with a non-linear data set. Then, the following steps are considered (i) fit the models to the data collected using iterative steps, (ii) to develop a linear model to estimate the parameter β1 and β2 when the initial value (or growth rate β3) lies between -1.0 ≤ β3 ≤1.0 ); using the transform models of the reciprocal power regression model (iii) to find the “best” model between the two models using R2, AIC and BIC. The results show Model B is better than Model A, using the model selection criteria.

Analysis of JPEG Digital Image Compression Process

JPEG is the most often used image compression standard that is used since 1992. It is a lossy compression method, and is widely used in digital cameras and mobile phones. Depending on the parameters and user needs, it can achieve a compression ratio between 10 and 50. Memory for digital image storage is saved on the expense of decompressed image quality. The method is based on the Discrete Cosine Transform (DCT) that separates the image into its different frequency components. This paper shows how different parameters of the algorithm influence the performance of the compression. In the end, ideas are given how to either increase the compression ratio keeping the same decompressed image quality, or to improve the quality without decreasing the compression ratio. The quality between the original and the decompressed images is measured using two objective criteria: the Peak Signal-to-Noise Ratio (PSNR) and the structural similarity index (SSIM).
