he Prediction of the Department Score of the College Entrance Examination in Taiwan

Chen, Yun-Shiuan 11 September 2012 (has links)
Prediction systems for College Entrance Examination (CEE) are popular during the graduating season, July every year in Taiwan. These systems give students suggestion according to their examination scores. There are several CEE prediction systems in Taiwan, but most of them are not constructed with rigorous theories. In 2005, Zen et al. constructed a prediction model using statistical method, which was later verified and improved by Lin in 2008. In this thesis, we will introduce the recording mechanism of the College Entrance Examination, and explain how to construct a prediction system under this mechanism. Also, we will compare the previous system with ours. We apply an empirical method and SVR as our first two approaches, and then we propose a new method. In our experiments, we consider the scores published by CEE center from 2004 to 2008. We use the root mean square error (RMSE) value to evaluate the performance of our present method. We also use the value generated by our method to show some information of the schools and the departments.

Marcas proverbiais em redações de vestibular / Proverbial brands in college entrance essays

Alves, Glauce de Oliveira 04 December 2013 (has links)
Esta pesquisa tem por objetivo investigar a realização do mecanismo das relações intergenéricas no emprego de marcas proverbiais diferentes formas de apresentação do provérbio na qualidade de gênero do discurso em redações de vestibular, a partir de estudo comparativo do funcionamento discursivo dessas marcas em dois conjuntos de textos, a saber: sessenta redações do vestibular da FUVEST/2006 (tema Trabalho) e sessenta redações do vestibular da FUVEST/2009 (tema Fronteiras), perfazendo o total de 120 textos. Nessas redações, foram reconhecidos os seguintes tipos de registro do provérbio a título de gênero do discurso, por mim denominados marcas proverbiais: (a) construção em que o provérbio aparece integralmente com o uso de aspas e/ou glosa; (b) construção em que o provérbio aparece de forma integral sem o uso de aspas nem de glosa; (c) enunciado organizado a partir da modificação da estrutura de um provérbio; (d) enunciado que alude ao sentido de um provérbio; e (e) construção que reproduz a estrutura de um enunciado proverbial. Sob um olhar enunciativo-discursivo, este trabalho se fundamenta, primordialmente, nos estudos do Círculo de Bakhtin, relacionados à perspectiva dialógica da linguagem e à teoria dos gêneros do discurso; em Maingueneau (1997, 2008b, 2010) em relação às suas considerações sobre as estratégias de captação e de subversão e sobre os aspectos da enunciação proverbial e; em Lysardo-Dias (2004), que compreende o provérbio como um gênero do discurso que se caracteriza pela inserção obrigatória em outro gênero. Os resultados desta pesquisa revelam que o funcionamento discursivo das marcas proverbiais resulta das relações intergenéricas. Esse mecanismo se constata não só pela inserção das marcas proverbiais na redação de vestibular, em que desempenham diversas funções argumentativas, mas também pelo fato de essas marcas apresentarem vestígios de outros gêneros nos quais o provérbio já se instalou. Num caso e no outro, esses vestígios são reconhecíveis tanto no conteúdo temático, quanto na construção composicional e no estilo do gênero. Contrariando a recomendação escolar de evitar o uso de expressões cristalizadas em redações de vestibular, os resultados se apresentam como contribuições para o ensino à medida que: (a) abrem a possibilidade de uma leitura de textos que permite compreendê-los como registros da dinamicidade dos gêneros do discurso; e (b) relativizam aquela recomendação escolar, tendo em vista que a qualidade do texto nem sempre está ligada à ausência de formas cristalizadas. / This research to investigate the mechanism of intergeneric connections, in employment of proverbial brand - different ways of presenting the proverb as a discourse genre - in college entrance essays, from a comparative study of the discursive functioning of these brands into two sets of texts, namely: sixty essays of vestibular FUVEST/2006 (theme Labor) and sixty essays of vestibular FUVEST/2009 (theme Borders), totaling 120 texts. In these essays, were recognized following record types proverb as a discourse genre, for me called proverbial brands: (a) building where the proverb appears entirely with the use of quotation marks and/or gloss, (b) construction in which the proverb appears in full without using quotation marks nor gloss; (c) organized statement from the modification of the structure of a proverb; (d) utterance that alludes to the meaning of a proverb, and (e) construction that reproduces the structure of a proverbial utterance. Under a look enunciative-discursive, this work is based primarily on studies of the Bakhtin Circle, related to the dialogical perspective of language and the theory of speech genres, in Maingueneau (1997, 2008b, 2010) regarding his considerations on strategies for capture and subversion and on aspects of proverbial utterance and, in Lysardo-Dias (2004), who understands the proverb as a genre of discourse that is characterized by mandatory insertion into another genre. The results of this research reveal that the discursive functioning of proverbial brands results from the intergeneric connections. This mechanism turns out not only by the insertion of proverbial brands in writing entrance exam, where they play several argumentative functions, but also because these brands show traces of other genres in which the proverb has already been installed. In one case and in the other, these traces are recognizable both in thematic content, as in the compositional construction and the style of the genre. Contrary to the recommendation of school to avoid using expressions crystallized in college entrance essays, the results are presented as contributions to teaching as: (a) open the possibility of a reading of texts that allows to understand them as records of dynamicity of discourse genres; and (b) relativize that academic recommendation given that the text quality is not always linked to the absence of crystallized forms.

A Narrative Examination of the Experience of Early Entrance to College

Kotinek, Jonathan David 16 December 2013 (has links)
This study addresses the question “what is it like to be a gifted early college entrant?” Participants were eight college graduates between the ages of 23 and 45 who matriculated to college as full-time, degree-seeking students at age 16. This was a qualitative study conducted by open-ended interview and utilized narrative inquiry as a framework for the analysis. Participant responses were coded and analyzed using constant comparative method. Coded responses were grouped into 40 subcategories which were further collapsed into 7 overarching categories that provide a framework for understanding the experience of early college entrance: life story; being exceptional; understanding exceptionality through others’ experience; transition to college, academic preparation, performance, and experience; getting involved and pursuing interests; and social-emotional awareness and agency. These categories provide a picture of the milieu in which participants made the decision to enter college early. Results of this study suggest that participants experienced a milieu of educational experiences, including academic acceleration, and embedded social-emotional contexts that increased their academic self-concept and precipitated early college entrance. Despite failing to recognize their own giftedness and experiencing academic struggle, participants successfully completed college and embarked on meaningful careers. Interpreting giftedness as asynchronous development provides a framework for these results. The results of the present study suggest that while the native cognitive ability of a gifted early entrant might be sufficient to complete college, additional social-emotional supports are needed to fully realize the academic potential of gifted students.
