Internet-assisted English Teaching in Higher Vocational Education

The rapid development of information technology has brought opportunities and challenges to English teaching. Online teaching has become a trend in language teaching, and it is also the core of the ongoing reform of English teaching. It not only changes the traditional English classroom thinking and teaching methods, but also changes the students’ learning environment and learning methods. At present, many experts and scholars at home and abroad have conducted research on the teaching activities of English network. Researchers have also put in a lot of effort and research to study how to use online platforms to help teach English. This article focuses on the study of multimedia-assisted English teaching in higher vocational education based on the Internet. First, it uses the literature research method to explain the problems in multimedia-assisted English teaching in higher vocational education, then puts forward some relevant suggestions for improvement, and finally uses the questionnaire method to analyze the multimedia A survey on the status quo of English teaching in higher vocational colleges was conducted. The results of the survey showed that the multimedia construction in schools is still good at this stage. Among them, computer equipment accounts for the most, reaching about 39%, and then the slide projector, accounting for about 32%. Regarding whether multimedia teaching can replace traditional teaching, 55% of teachers think that it can be partially replaced, and 31% of teachers think that the two should be combined.

Reproduction and Testing of Display Options for the Slide-Based Artwork Slides de Cavalete (1978–1979) by Ângelo de Sousa: An Experimental Study

Slides de cavalete | Easel slides (1978–1979) is a slide-based artwork by the Portuguese artist Ângelo de Sousa (1938–2011), composed of one-hundred colour slides. Each image was produced by capturing different proportions of red, green, and blue (RGB) lights to obtain colour gradations. The artwork was first presented in the exhibition A Fotografia como Arte/A Arte como Fotografia | Photography as Art/Art as Photography in 1979. Associated with this exhibition, documentary evidence was found during the present study providing specific instruction on how to display the artwork (possibly unknown until now). According to that documentation, the artist wanted the work to be projected on a canvas mounted in an easel with a 19th century semblance, using a slide projector. In the last two exhibitions, carried out in 2017, after the artist had passed, the work was displayed as a digital projection, without the previously mentioned sculptural components. It was considered that this deviation from the first presentation could have led to a misunderstanding of the work. Thus, an exhibition of this artwork was prepared in a room at the Library of Faculdade de Ciências e Tecnologia. This was built as an experimental laboratory, having as one of its important objectives to test the variability of the work projected with a slide projector and a digital projector, following the display setup defined by the artist. For four days, the visitors were shown the work displayed under these two distinct scenarios of presentation. The visitors were also asked to fill out a questionnaire, to capture their perception about the variance of the work. The data obtained in the questionnaire and during the exhibition reinforced the decision to expose Slides de cavalete using the original technology. The public preferred the quality and beauty of the image using the slide projector, highlighting as positive aspects more granularity and warmer hue as well as higher depth of the images. Additionally, the production process behind Slides de cavalete was studied, based on documentation discovered in the artist’s archive and on reproductions, to enrich our perception of the work, in particular the complexity of creating the sfumato effects, and to understand the impact of changing the display technology. The results obtained made it possible to identify the main steps of making these slides, and this knowledge was shared with visitors in a workshop, integrated in this experimental laboratory.

Perbandingan Hasil Refraksi Subjektif pada Jarak 6 Meter dan 4 Meter Menggunakan Slide Projector

Pemeriksaan refraksi didentifikasikan sebagai pengukuran terhadap gangguan refraksi. Pemeriksaan refraksi dibagi menjadi 2 yaitu pemeriksaan refraksi objektif dan subjektif. Pemeriksaan refraksi subjektif merupakan pemeriksaan yang bergantung pada kerjasama pasien dalam menilai perbaikan refraksi selama pemeriksaan. Pemeriksaan refraksi subjektif jarak jauh pada umumnya menggunakan snellen chart dengan jarak 6 meter. Pada kunjungan penulis, ditemukan tempat pemeriksaan yang kurang dari 4 meter menggunakan snellen chart. Sehingga dalam penelitian ini penulis bertujuan untuk membandingkan hasil refraksi subjektif pada 6 meter dan 4 meter dengan metode yang digunakan adalah cross sectional. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa ada perbedaan antara hasil refraksi subjektif pada jarak 6 meter dan 4 meter sebanyak 97 mata dari 104 mata yang diteliti.

‘It’s all just a little bit of History repeating’

The chapter looks at the use of slide-tape by artists during the 1970s and 1980s in the UK. Slide-tape was a series of projected 35 mm photographic slides with a synchronized audio soundtrack. As a form, it is significant in the UK for being used by a number of key and emerging artists for a brief period before being abandoned. This moment itself has been largely forgotten, and the chapter considers this and the importance of slide-tape as a critical tool used in artists’ projected works. Slide-tape was a time-based media form, with the technology—the slide projector—itself having a distinct presence in the live performance of the work. Amongst the artists who used the form were Black Audio Film Collective and Tina Keane and others who took part in the key exhibition About Time: Video, Performance and Installation by 21 Women Artists, which took place at the ICA, London, in 1980. In the chapter the author accounts for the emergence of this work and suggests that slide-tape allowed for artists’ experimental work where the simultaneous projection of images and sound was transformed to establish a new form. As the form has been taken up and used recently by contemporary artists, the impact of this overlooked history to what is described as legacy media is discussed and located.

Perception of students about Team-based learning (TBL) Problem-based learning (PBL)

Background: Medical teaching has evolved over the past few years, from traditional teaching methods such as lectures and practical classes using blackboard, slide projector to more student-centered activities such as self-directed learning, problem based learning (PBL) and team-based learning (TBL) Problem based learning is an integral part of our MBBS curriculum. We introduced TBL to 2nd year MBBS students in Pharmacology department, who are also practicing PBL in 2nd year. Aim: The aim of the study was to know student’s perception about TBL and PBL. Methods: Students were asked to fill the questionnaire regarding each teaching strategy anonymously using both, open and closed ended questions. The data was analyzed by using SPSS version 21. Results: A total of 120 students filled the questionnaire regarding their perception about TBL, and 94 students filled the questionnaire regarding PBL. Students found the readiness assurance tests and immediate feedback effective for their learning in TBL. While for PBL, students found that different point of views were respected by group members and there is better integration among different disciplines in PBL. Conclusion: It is the need of the hour to include new strategies in our curriculum which promotes team work and effective communication skills. Both PBL and TBL have advantages of their own and can provide better student learning if incorporated in a medical curriculum, keeping in view the students responses in our study.

A-15 Examining the Construct Validity of the Halstead Category Test - Computer Version: A Confirmatory Factor Analysis

Objective To examine evidence of construct validity for the Halstead Category Test – Computer Version (HCT-CV). Previous factor analyses on the HCT generally found the following structure: a Counting factor comprised of Subtests I and II; a Spatial Reasoning factor of Subtests III, IV, and VII; and a Proportional Reasoning factor of Subtests V and VI. Method Data were collected from a diagnostically heterogeneous sample of 105 adults (56 males, 49 females) referred for neuropsychological evaluation who completed the HCT-CV. The sample had an average educational attainment of 14.37 years (SD = 2.98 years) and an average age of 62.30 years (SD = 17.53). The total number of errors made on each of the seven HCT subtests were computed for each participant, and these data were used to complete a regularized confirmatory factor analysis based on the identified factor structure of the HCT. Results The confirmatory factor analysis converged normally. The model fitting the HCT factor structure demonstrated excellent overall fit to the HCT-CV data: χ2(11) = 12.20, p = .35; RMSEA = 0.03 (95% CI: 0.00 to 0.11); SRMR = 0.03; CFI = 1.00; TLI = 0.99. Analysis of the residuals and modification indexes further confirmed the excellent model fit. Conclusions The HCT-CV demonstrates what appears to be an unchanged factor structure to the HCT. This finding supports the computerized version construct validity as being seemingly unchanged from that of the slide projector version. This model fit may be viewed as promising for the comparability between the original version and the computerized version.

Interactive Learning Method Based on Information and Communication Technology

There are many models of lecturing method in higher education level. Telkom University as a university that based on Information and Communication Technology (ICT) applies its teaching and learning method through the use of internet facility. Based on research, we found that the interactive learning method based on ICT was applied well. The numbers of classes that had been involved were three classes, the classes observed in applying the interactive learning method based on ICT (high-speed wifi, digital slide projector, audio video interactive facility using YouTube and Blogspot). This interactive learning method based on ICT collaborate the lecturer-student proximity at class. The research used a descriptive case study to elaborate the classes for the whole semester. The result found that this method proved successful in sharpening student’s critical thinking. The student’s perspective to analyze social phenomenon in the society have broadened fast. It helped the student to build courage in delivering critical argument orally and written.
