This quantitative research aims to examine how different levels of motivation relate to frequency of occurrence of autonomous language learning activities undertaken by undergraduate students. Eight hundred and sixty-two college students from 10 vocational training programs of a public university located in Ecuador, South America, participated in this study. Spratt’s questionnaire that regards ‘autonomy and motivation’ as a cyclical interaction in the language learning process, was updated by the researchers, adding digital education elements. The data were analyzed using the program SPSS v24.0.0 The results showed that there was a significant relationship between: the language learning stimulation generated by professors and the participants’ learning attitudes. In addition, it was determined that the most frequent language practices in which the participants showed greatest autonomy were: listening to songs in English language, worrying about the correct pronunciation, and noting down interesting words or expressions in English.

As firms lose skilled labour force through mass retirement, turnover and economic fluctuations, a pressing concern is how to ensure that the skills of the present-day masters are conveyed to the future professionals. This chapter examines the process of how the skills leading to professional performance are acquired in the context of on-the-job learning and identifies the key factors in this process. Based on an empirical examination of the on-the-job training periods of 20 Finnish vocational college students a model is built, suggesting that there are three different levels of professional performance on a junior’s path towards professionalism. The results suggest that individual activity, critical observation, conscious doing and creativity are crucial in the learning process. The chapter contributes to the emerging discussion on knowledge sharing across generations in organisations.

With the continuous development of computer network and the popularity of internet applications, technology is constantly changing the traditional education model. The rise of the MOOC has set off a worldwide revolution in educational technology, which has been widely welcomed by university teachers and students. On the platforms of MOOC, the learning behaviours of college students have generated massive amounts of relevant data. Teachers can tap learning behaviours, master different types of learning styles to better control the learning steps and urge college students to better participate in all aspects of learning. Based on the MOOC platform, this paper classifies the students into excellent learners, middle learners, poor learners and non-learners by cluster analysis to teach students of different levels in different ways to optimize the MOOC teaching effect.

Formal Recognition

One-to-one lessons are ubiquitous in music education, and thus understanding the components of effective teaching in this environment is essential for student learning. This study explored whether the teaching elements identified in previous studies were evident with applied music teachers working with both college and pre-college students, and if those elements differed as a function of the level of the students. In addition, these teachers were asked to provide commentary on what they deemed important to effective studio teaching. I examined video recordings of 18 lessons given by two applied teachers who had received formal recognition for outstanding teaching. Many of the observations in this study were consistent with previous findings; however, higher rates of low magnitude positive feedback and student errors that did not elicit stops were present. One element regarding physical proximity was added. The findings indicate important differences in the way these teachers approach students at different levels, particularly regarding side coaching during performance, teacher modeling, feedback, and correction of errors. Participants also emphasized the importance of rapport and positive relationships.

Different Levels

Previous time perception research has confounded manipulations intended to evoke different affective reactions to the task with different levels of nontemporal processing demands. An attempt was made to separate these dimensions by a social comparison procedure aimed at making the same concurrent task (card sorting) appear differentially interesting to two groups of college students. Response uncertainty varied within the task so that processing demands could be compared while reported interest in the task varied between groups. Magnitude of time estimates related inversely to response uncertainty, but reported interest in the task made no independent contribution to the variance of estimates.

Normative Ideals

The article analyses the relation between psychological security (PS) and values in adolescent and young age. The value-semantic sphere of an individual determines his or her social behavior, and the strategic task of the education system is to create such educational environment that would promote the development of personal potential in students. The aim of the study is to identify the features and characteristics of students’ personal values in adolescence and young age depending on the level of their PS. The hypothesis was tested that the values of adolescents and young people with different levels of PS have different significance. The sample of the study consisted of 2789 first- year and second-year college students, aged 15-21 years. Significant differences in values at the level of normative ideals were found in groups with different levels of PS. There are also significant differences in the significance of values at the level of individual priorities which, in contrast to normative ideals, have a non-linear growth depending on the level of PS – the lowest values are observed in the group with an average level of PS. Values at the level of individual priorities in the group with a low level of PS are more significant than values at the level of normative ideals.

Video Project

Technology is very much part of today’s life. It has been used as a tool in language learning throughout the world at all different levels especially adult learners. Nowadays, it is important to engage students to speak confidently and learn independently in their daily activity as students. However, the level of their speaking skills is still not satisfactory. They still have difficulty to communicate using English. The purpose of this study is to examine whether video project able to improve the speaking skill of the students.  A Classroom Action Research design was applied. The data were collected through small group and individual activities. Video project competition was done for the final project. This study was conducted in two cycles of seven meetings in each cycle. Based on the analyses, data showed that there are changes from cycle 1 to cycle 2. In cycle 1, the percentage of students English skill is 54% and it is increased become 75% in cycle 2. The average result of percentage in cycle 1 to cycle 2 is 21%. The result of the data showed that the use of video project could be one of the best alternatives to improve the students’ speaking skill.
