Abstract:

This mixed-methods study evaluated quality, usage, and perceptions of open educational resources compared to traditionally published textbooks. Because textbooks and other related materials make up a significant portion of educational costs, open educational resources have been explored for potential cost savings at all levels of education. These resources use public domain or open-licensed materials as the content component of free eTextbooks or low-cost printed textbooks. This evaluation explores how teachers and students use textbook resources both in and out of the classroom and the degree

Abstract:

This thesis reports on a study of expertise in English as a foreign language (EFL) textbook evaluation. So far, studies in the area of EFL textbook evaluation have focused on what evaluators should do, rather than what they actually do. However, this thesis describes the procedures used in practice by a group of teacher evaluators in terms of what they focused on and their manner of doing so, in their actual evaluation of an EFL textbook. The study was conducted in the Korean high school setting, where school teachers are required to choose from among the 'authorised' EFL textbooks approved by

The cost of textbooks is a financial burden on many college students. Fortunately the advent of open educational resources (OER) has allowed for the development of textbooks and other materials at significantly reduced costs to students. Many faculty are using OER to develop customized textbooks for their students, usually published digitally online. These faculty desire high fidelity feedback from their students to help them improve their texts. However, there is no general model of what digital textbook quality means to college students. Such a model would allow for the development of a meas

Abstract:

碩士<br>中原大學<br>應用外語研究所<br>97<br>After practicing the policy of releasing the right of textbook publishing to public in 1994, various types of textbooks have filled the market in Taiwan’s formal education. A good English textbook can facilitate students’ learning as well teachers’ instruction. Regulating the quality of the textbooks is an important task for the government, and thus standardized guidelines have been passed down from the authority. With the change of the trend, the existing English textbook evaluation criteria proposed by the government a decade ago may have grown out of fashion.

Abstract:

Drawing on two research questions, this study presents an understanding of the nature of heritage in selected contemporary Grade 10 South African history textbooks, and elucidates factors responsible for the depiction of heritage in a particular way. The context that informed this study was that of South Africa as a post-conflict society. Using the interpretivist paradigm and approached from a qualitative perspective, this case study produced data on three purposively selected contemporary (post-1994) South African history textbooks with regards to their representation of heritage.

碩士<br>國立政治大學<br>應用數學研究所<br>96<br>The purpose of this study is to develop a system analysis by fuzzy theory. A comparison was made between fuzzy sample mode, fuzzy evaluation and the conventional method about textbook selection. In order to establish the factor fuzzy relation weight matrix and to estimate fuzzy evaluation matrix, we use the fuzzy weight and evaluation questionnaire first. It was found, by way of the actual evaluation, that the application of fuzzy evaluation is better than the traditional evaluation. While looking for appropriate consensus, fuzzy statistics is a better reflecti

Abstract:

Science and technology are constantly transforming our day-to-day living. Science education has become of vital importance to prepare learners for this everchanging world.
