    A Constrained and Guided Approach for Managing Software Engineering Course Projects
    (Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE), 2010-08-01) Cheng, Yung-Pin; Lin, Janet Mei-Chuen
    This paper documents several years of experimentation with a new approach to organizing and managing projects in a software engineering course. The initial failure and subsequent refinements that the new approach has been through since 2004 are described herein. The “constrained and guided” approach, as it is called, has helped to reduce project failure rates, increase specification fulfillment rates, and improve the design quality of student projects. It has also enabled the instructor to evaluate student projects more objectively. The questionnaire survey conducted in this study also shows that students greatly appreciated the new approach because it enabled them to manage projects more effectively.

    Netbooks in sixth-grade English language classrooms
    (Australasian Society for Computers in Learning in Tertiary Education, 2010-12-01) Lin, Janet Mei-Chuen; Wu, Yi-Jiun
    As netbook computers are becoming an attractive option for K-12 educators, they have the potential to be a more integral part of language learning. In this study 45 sixth graders in two classes used netbooks to learn English as a second language. Forty-four students in two other classes served as the control group who received traditional instruction. It was found that the use of netbooks encouraged the instructor to design more innovative learning activities which greatly enhanced student engagement in learning. The activities provided students with much more opportunities to practice listening and speaking. A questionnaire survey and individual interviews showed that the netbook-using students not only liked English language class more and were more attentive during class but were more confident in being able to learn English language well. It was also revealed that the netbook-using students significantly outscored their non-netbook-using counterparts. These encouraging findings confirm the potential benefits of netbooks in language classrooms. However, this study also discovers some possible problems of implementing netbook-supported learning activities, including increased classroom inefficiencies caused by unstable network connectivity and slow boot and application load time, the increased anxiety felt by the participating teacher, and the extra effort needed to gain parental support on the use of netbooks in class.

    Pedagogy*technology: A two-dimensional model for teachers' ICT integration
    (Wiley-Blackwell, 2010-12-27) Lin, Janet Mei-Chuen; Wang, Pei-Yu; Lin, I-Chun
    This paper presents a two-dimensional model for measuring individual teachers' progression in ICT integration and for guiding them toward higher integration levels. There are four levels in the pedagogy dimension: direct teaching, cognitively active learning, constructive learning, and social learning. These levels are defined based on four factors: teacher pedagogical beliefs, instructional strategies used, teacher-student interactions, and the types of tasks students are expected to carry out. The technology dimension contains eight levels, ranging from Level 0 (nonuse) to Level 7 (implementing sophisticated instructional applications). The eight levels are defined based on three factors: whether a teacher is a passive consumer or an active producer of the ICT-based resources, sophistication of the ICT tools that a teacher uses, and richness of functionality of an ICT-based product developed by a teacher. To validate the proposed model in terms of its applicability and practicability, three case studies were conducted. The results showed that this model was able to adapt to individual preferences of the three participating teachers as well as guide their progressions in ICT integration.
