As conventional tools for assessing and improving the ability of older adults to perform functional tasks that entail executive functions (EF) are limited, there is a need to identify alternate approaches including the use of simulated environments. The objectives of this study were (1) to investigate differences in EF in older and young adults as determined by their performance on the Adapted Four-Item...
In order to adopt games for Software Engineering (SE) education effectively it is essential to obtain sound evidence on their quality. A prominent evaluation model is MEEGA (Model for the Evaluation of Educational Games), which provides a systematic support to evaluate the game's quality in terms of motivation, user experience and learning. To facilitate its application, the model provides a questionnaire...
The present study used fuzzy triangulation number to analyze self-assessment (SA) of 86 nonnative novice and experienced Iranian English language teachers. Fuzzy triangulation number was used to provide a score for each item of a 7 scales SA questionnaire (SAQ). These fuzzy scores were then compared to the teachers' obtained scores in FCE test. The teachers' scores obtained from the listening and...
Research on education has indicated that students have different abilities and needs. In other words, they tend to learn in different ways, these ways were called a learning style. Although the learning style in many developed countries has seen a significant amount of research [1, 2], unfortunately, in Arabic region this work is still in its infancy [3–5]. The literature review revealed that there...
In the recent years, there is an increasing focus on studies concerning student's engagement in the tertiary education. Student's engagement in learning is important to guarantee a good academic result. Thus it is important to encourage engagement from students in the learning process as the more engaged the students is, the better the absorption of the knowledge a student will receive. Previous literatures...
The increased consumption of wine in Indonesia is clearly visible due to the increasing number of outlets that sell wine following the economy growth in Indonesia. The purpose of this research is to analyse the effect of product, price, place and promotion to purchase decision in DKI Jakarta and Tangerang. This research using quantitative method, number of respondents involve in this study are 150...
This paper describes the adaptation and validation of an instrument aimed to determine self-regulation skills, learning strategies and affective strategies of engineering students from the Tecnologico de Monterrey, Mexico City Campus. A statistical validation with Cronbach's alphas and a social validation in which students indicated whether or not they agree with their results on each dimension were...
Every student has different learning styles. They have tendency in perceiving, interacting and processing information they have learned. Those tendencies can be identified by assessing stodente' learning styles using the Index of Learning Style (ILS). ILS is commonly used to identify engineering student's learning style in learning personalization system. However, this questionnaire is developed in...
This study aims to generate empirical evidence on the validity and reliability of Perception of Online Collaborative Learning Questionnaire (POCLQ) using Rasch model. The questionnaire was distributed to 32 (N=32) Diploma Hotel Catering students from Politeknik Ibrahim Sultan, Johor (PIS). Data obtained was analysed using WINSTEP version 3.68 software. The finding showed that POCLQ had high reliability...
This study investigates the relationships between students' perceptions and their online behaviors after they were engaged in collaborative knowledge building activities for social studies. One hundred and seventy seven Singapore primary three and primary four students participated in this study and the results show that when interpreting students' collaborative knowledge building, their perceptions...
Background: due to the challenges related to actual demographic ageing, Ambient Assisted Living emerges as a potentially effective solution to answer the needs of citizens; among other factors, usability is a relevant issue for the acceptance of Ambient Assisted Living products or services. Objective: the objective of this study is to validate an instrument, supported by the conceptual model of the...
This paper tries to shed light on whether emotional intelligence (EI) predicts leadership effectiveness (LE) in the Chinese context. To do this, we apply Bar-On's EI dimensions and LE dimensions in Leadership Effectiveness Analysis as the instrument in this study. The finding, contrast to the hypothesis, is that EI can not predict LE in the Chinese context. As one of the pioneer research in such domain,...
This study examined the hypothetical model of job security, job satisfaction, and perceived safety, as antecedences for driving behavior. Data collection from 360 motorcyclists, as survey respondent, in Jakarta, utilized purposive-sampling technique, with four instruments which reliabilities were calculated using Cronbach's Alpha. The goodness of fit and the validity of the Hypothetical model were...
Professional skills are critical for success in the multidisciplinary, intercultural, and cross-functional team interactions that characterize 21st century engineering careers. Despite consensus around the need for developing professional skills, engineering programs have been struggling to define, teach, and measure those skills. This paper describes the investigation of the functioning of a group-based...
In the present work, reliability of the software Mirtoolbox that was developed for music signal processing has been investigated into. Motivation for the work stems from the fact that performance report of the software is not available in the literature from sources other than the developers of the software. A few functions available in the software for extraction of some basic musical features have...
Learning and academic achievement are attributable to the complex cognitive phenomenon of self-regulation. There was a need to study self-regulation, a popular research area in education, on engineering students learning Statics. However, there was no specific instrument to measure self-regulation in fundamental engineering courses like Statics. Therefore, a modified self-regulated learning (SRL)...
Across holistic and bivariate approaches, we examine complex relationships amongst strategic alignment, strategic enterprise systems flexibility, and business performance. Our evidence is based on data collected from top management in North America. We observe a positive correlation between alignment and business performance. In addition, the relationship between enterprise systems strategic flexibility...
Patient safety and high quality patient care are critical concerns for healthcare providers. The Institute of Medicine report suggests medical errors account for up to 98,000 patient deaths each year. Therefore, the US healthcare system is looking to information technology applications as one means of making patient care safer. This paper compares the psychometric properties of the Electronic Health...
Measurements on students' understanding in the fundamental courses of Civil & Structural Engineering Program is an important step in determining the level of student achievement before they can proceed to advanced courses. Hence, this paper presents the level of students' understanding in the examination of the fundamental courses at the Department of Civil & Structural Engineering, Faculty...
The purpose of this paper is to develop a measurement model to measure student perceptions of service quality among skills training institutes in Malaysia. The data used in this study were derived from a questionnaire survey conducted among students of seven skills training institutes. A total of 419 usable responses was received.
