Paper Title: An Assessment of the Non-Graded System Based on Learners’ Learning Satisfaction, Behavior, and Outcomes
Abstract: This study aimed to assess the non-graded system of a progressive
school which advocates self-paced and individualized mode of learning, mastery
learning program, and modular approach to learning based on learners’ learning
satisfaction, behavior, and outcomes. A combined evaluation model was used
which is outcome evaluation with influence of Kirkpatrick’s’ Four Level
training evaluation. The mixed method approach is used in answering the
research problems which made used of a learning satisfaction survey, school
archives, individual interviews, and focused group discussions.
Results show that the strengths of the non-graded system as perceived by the learners are the following: studying entails less academic pressure, more engaged learning experiences, independent learning, opportunity for academic advancement, non-existence of grades, individualized learning, academic freedom, and opportunity to correct mistakes on the tests while the weaknesses of the program are the lax environment, lacks of motivation and incentives, not well monitored academic improvements, and less challenging academic tasks. In general, the respondents are satisfied with the non-graded system.
The proportions of the learners who finished their academic requirements for two academic years are very high. However, periodical accomplishment that focuses on the pacing of the learners show that about 30% of them were academically behind.
The identified positive changes in the behavior of the learners as a result of their learning experiences are increased self-reliance and self-esteem, improved patience, and appreciation towards studying while the negative effect on their behavior is the fact that the learners become lazy and less productive.
The impact of the system is felt and very apparent. However, there are identified areas that need to be improved especially the standpoint where learners become relax, lazy, and less productive because grades do not exist.

Paper Title: The Asian Short Film in the Literature Classroom
Paper Title: The Asian Short Film in the Literature Classroom
Abstract: The issue of contemporary 21st
Century literacies foregrounds the strategies of literary analysis,
interpretation and representation, particularly in terms of visual, media and
critical literacy. The rich schema of cinematic narratives, conventions, and
techniques that students bring into the classroom remains largely untapped. The
accessibility,
brevity, and creativity of the short film format offers
an entire narrative in a short space of time for the Literature teacher to
teach plot structure, characterization, thematic viewpoints and stylistic
technique.
The Asian short film lends a strong
indigenous voice to local communities that runs counter to dominant global literatures,
cultures and ideologies. This uses the short film as “a window on other worlds”
to inform, contemplate and compare “culture, feeling, historical knowledge and
context” (Reid 189). Besides developing the reading skills of
students to analyze the ideas, realities and levels of meaning with different
text types, the study of the Asian short film will expand the global experience
of students, especially when it includes short films from other countries
around the globe.
The conference presentation will focus on the depiction of education in three short films, Bun Chan Nimol’s Dream from
Cambodia, Fadzlie Musthafa’s A
Drop of Hope from Malaysia and Sufyan Sam’an’s Child from Singapore.

Paper Title: Assessing Digital Maturity of Schools
Abstract: The purpose of this
paper is to identify and describe the current state of digital maturity of primary
and secondary schools in Croatia. It reveals key steps in the development of an
instrument for assessing digital maturity of schools and gives a brief overview
of a Model for Digitally Mature Schools in Croatia, which is a base for the
instrument. The instrument evaluation involved 151 primary and secondary
schools in Croatia that were assessed against maturity levels. Descriptive
statistics is used to elaborate on reliability of measurement scales and to
identify and explain correlations between 38 indicators of digital maturity of
schools. The main drivers of digital maturity are also identified. Results
obtained from the instrument show that 50 percent of schools in Croatia are in
the initial phase of maturity and 43 percent of them are E-enabled which in
respect to 5 different maturity levels corresponds to levels 2 and 3
respectively. An on-line system developed for this purpose, besides it features
the instrument itself and enables schools to benchmark between themselves, identifies
critical indicators for each school that require improvement in order for
school to make progress against maturity level.

Paper Title: Rationality And Students Misconduct At University: Empirical Evidence And Policy Implications
(Jocelyn Grira & Louis Jaeck Affiliated to Croatia and Department Of Economics And Finance College Of Business And Economics,UAE University,Al Ain, UAE)
Paper Title: Rationality And Students Misconduct At University: Empirical Evidence And Policy Implications
Abstract: We
investigate the determinants of students’ misconduct at University. Using a
sample of 310 surveyed students, we find that students are more likely to cheat
when they have previous misconduct records, when they perceive academic integrity
policy as being poorly enforced and when perceived instructors’ tolerance toward
misconduct incidents is high. Moreover, misconduct behavior tends to increase with
students’ seniority and the perceived level of course difficulty. Surprisingly,
students’ motivation toward reading, writing, and learning do not seem to have
valuable impact on the likelihood of students’ misconduct. Students’ nationality
partially explains the cross sectional variation in misconduct rates. Our
findings have important policy implications that relate to university culture
of academic integrity, instructors’ tolerance vis-Ã -vis students’ misconduct
behavior, and the effectiveness of punitive actions.

Paper Title: Role of Emotional Intelligence in Interpersonal Relationships
Paper Title: Role of Emotional Intelligence in Interpersonal Relationships
Abstract: Human
life is undergoing constant change right from its evolution. With the
development of Science and Technology, the generation today is spending most of their
prime time with electronic devices. This technology has drifted away from their
relationships. Social media is playing a major role in this. Emotional
Intelligence has to be improved to live a successful life. Emotional
Intelligence is needed to enhance one’s living, to empathise, and to manage
interpersonal relationships. Students today must learn the inter and intra
personal skills , learn to face difficult situations and improve tolerance. In
today’s scenario, how one portrays himself is more important than being a
subject expertise. This paper will analyse the different criteria’s of
Emotional Intelligence as to how a person can upgrade himself with Emotional
Intelligence and how soft skills plays a major role in embracing success.

Paper Title: Rich Lecture On Demand A Bavarian Best Practice
Abstract: In Germany the state of Bavaria created an
innovative concept of network centric e-learning called “The Virtual University
of Bavaria” (VUB). This virtual university consists of a loosely coupled
network of all universities in the state of Bavaria. Each university offers
web-based courses which can be integrated in the study programs at any other
bavarian university. A student may be enrolled both at his/her local university
as well as at the VUB. This concept proved to be very successful and is
regarded as a perfect example and best practice for similar efforts in other German
states. Actually over 50.000 students are enrolled at the VUB, each one
attending on average 3 courses. This results in a VUB course attendance of
around 150.000 students.
One crucial element of the virtual courses
is “Lecture on Demand” (LoD) design. On the one hand course material is
organized in the traditional lecture-oriented way. Video recordings of focused off-line
lectures or key presentations (“learning nuggets”) serve as a guide and initial
content at the same time. On the other hand this material is enriched and
interweaved with content that goes beyond the abilities of traditional off-line
lectures.
The general approach of the VUB and the
specific concept of LoD are introduced. The production process of LoD
e-learning packages is explained in detail. The look and feel of LoD is
presented by best practice examples. These examples are illustrated by the user
interface design for students as well as for LoD producers.

(Inchan Park Affiliated to Convergence Design Lab,Media4thone Ltd.,Seoul, Republic of Korea)
Paper Title: Research on the Usability of Games for the Intervention of Korean Dyslexia - Focusing on Counting Games
Abstract: It
is estimated that around 5% of the Korean population, or about 2,500,000
people, have dyslexia. For the purpose of developing a functional dyslexia
intervention, online phonological awareness games that focus on counting
syllables and phonemes have been developed. In this research, a usability test
was conducted to evaluate two such games. A checklist was developed based on
the test results of the User Interface experts. The checklist consisted of 10
questions to be answered by students and 18 questions for clinicians. The subjects
for the usability test comprised 21 students and 22 clinicians. A test platform
was developed to provide a test environment that was conducive to playing
online games. The analysis of the usability test results has been grouped into
two parts: a quantitative analysis and a qualitative analysis. Based on the
quantitative analysis results, the dyslexic students averaged 8.5 points
(±1.53) on a Likert Scale of 10; while the dyslexia clinicians averaged 8.7
points (±0.87) on the same Likert Scale. Based on the results of the qualitative
analysis, an enhancement of the rewards function, a better user interface for
the button used to check for the correct answer, and a button to enlarge the
screen were identified as areas for improvement.

Paper Title: Teachers’ perceptions of the use of English as
the medium of instruction for teaching mathematics and science in Elementary
school classes
Abstract: The purpose of
this study is to investigate teachers’ perceptions of the use of English as the
medium of instruction for teaching mathematics and science classes in United
Arab Emirates.
Education plays
a major role in promoting sustainable development in any country. In recent
years, education in the United Arab Emirates (UAE) has undergone constant
change. In 2007, the Abu Dhabi Education Council (ADEC), the governing body
that supervises schools in the emirate of Abu Dhabi, implemented a new policy
which was to make English as the language of instruction in schools for the
teaching mathematics and science.
The results
reported in this paper were based on data collected using mixed methodology.
Specifically, quantitative data were derived using a questionnaire administered
to 107 elementary mathematics and science teachers and focus-group interviews
that included 17 mathematics and science teachers in elementary school classes.
Notable
results include general agreement among teachers that students’ achievements in
mathematics and science could be better if the contents were taught in the
native language. Additionally, teachers expressed several obstacles of using
English as the medium of instruction as they believed that students have
difficulty demonstrating what they know in mathematics and science using
English because of their low language proficiency. Additionally, the analysis
and interpretation of the focus-group interviews revealed that teachers spend
considerable amount of class time teaching English instead of mathematics and
science, at least from their own perspectives. The results of this study have
valuable implications for teacher training, language improvement, enhancing learning outcomes
of English, science and mathematics.
