The voice effect or principle assumes that people learn better when they are exposed to multimedia instruction that includes a human voice rather than a machine voice. This investigation reconsiders the voice principle by investigating the relationship between learning outcomes and mental effort of the learners. Text-to-speech (TTS) engines have improved dramatically since the early 2000s, thanks to technological advancements. The researchers employed sophisticated TTS engines in a pretest-posttest design to analyze the various voice types (human voice, traditional machine voice, and modern machine voice). The results indicated that the progress in TTS technology enabled to generate real-life-like voices, and therefore no significant difference was observed between the modern and human voice. Furthermore, the participants' cognitive load was consistent with the findings of the learning outcomes.

Service-learning was introduced to tertiary education in Asia more than a decade ago. However, there has been little prior Asia-based research across different jurisdictions comparing student developmental outcomes arising from service-learning. We report two studies that validated the Service-Learning Outcomes Measurement Scale (S-LOMS) by comparing its scores obtained from Hong Kong and Singapore samples. Study 1 employed confirmatory factor analysis, and the results showed that S-LOMS is a reliable measurement instrument for both jurisdictions. Study 2 compared the developmental outcomes arising from service-learning for Hong Kong and Singapore students across the 11 domains of S-LOMS. Investigation of the pretest data (baseline) indicated significantly higher scores for Singapore students on seven domains, which may have reflected greater prior exposure to community service, as compared with the Hong Kong students. Comparisons of pretest and posttest scores through paired sample t-tests indicated that service-learning had significantly greater developmental outcomes in five domains for Hong Kong students as compared with Singapore students. While there were no significant improvements for Singapore students in caring and respect, sense of social responsibility, and commitment to self-improvement, Hong Kong students perceived themselves as having significantly improved in all domains. Possible reasons for the Study 2 results are discussed.

The main aim of efforts to improve teaching is to create conditions that are more supportive of student learning and social development. The most tangible output of teaching activities occurs during the teaching activities conducted in the classroom environment. It is therefore reasonable to focus on what happens in the classroom to improve teaching. The quality of interactions between students and teachers is affected by the emotional states of both parties. Positive emotions arising from teachers are an important factor in high-quality teaching experiences for both parties. Due to the enriching and affirming effects of teacher enthusiasm in classroom interactions, it is important to investigate the underlying processes. For that reason, this research was designed to investigate the effects of supportive and collaborative processes on teacher enthusiasm. As a result of this research, it was concluded that organizational values and practices that facilitate and encourage information exchange increase teacher enthusiasm. In this respect, investigating organizational processes that facilitate cooperation and positively affect the achievement of school goals may be beneficial in terms of increasing the effectiveness of schools.

China International &quot;Internet +&quot; College Students Innovation and Entrepreneurship Competition is one of the important starting points for the country to cultivate innovative and entrepreneurial talents. After investigation and research, it was found that the proportion of liberal arts projects advancing to the national finals was much lower than that of science and engineering projects, and the degree of compatibility between innovation and entrepreneurship projects and competition requirements was relatively lower. Liberal arts college students have many pain points such as little interest in innovation and entrepreneurship competitions, low participation, solidification of innovative concepts, and insufficient innovation. Colleges and universities should pay attention to their core advantages in text expression, topic speeches, information collation and other core advantages when cultivating the ability of liberal arts students in innovation and entrepreneurship competitions, combined with the current political hotspots to cultivate awareness of problems. They can stimulate the innovation vitality of liberal arts students through educational means such as &quot;practical&quot; professional course learning, &quot;cross-border&quot; second classroom construction and &quot;immersive&quot; innovation and entrepreneurship guidance, and then inject new momentum into social innovation and entrepreneurship.

This study aims to determine the effects of activities based on the Prediction-Observation-Explanation [POE] strategy on sixth grade students' understanding of the particulate nature of matter. The study was carried out with a sixth grade group consisting of 41 students from a middle school in an eastern city. Three activities were carried out based on the POE strategy for teaching the particulate nature of matter: Movement of the Syringe, What Happened to Iodine? What Happened to Sugar Cube? While the students initially gave answers that were not related to the particulate nature of matter and were far from being scientific, after participating in the activities using the POE strategy, the answers of the students were at a scientifically acceptable level. The results of the study indicate that different activities based on the POE strategy may be useful in teaching abstract subjects such as the particulate nature of matter.
