abstract: This study empirically evaluated the effectiveness of the instructional design, learning tools, and role of the teacher in three versions of a semester-long, high-school remedial Algebra I course to determine what impact self-regulated learning skills and learning pattern training have on students' self-regulation, math achievement, and motivation. The 1st version was a business-as-usual traditional classroom teaching mathematics with direct instruction. The 2rd version of the course provided students with self-paced, individualized Algebra instruction with a web-based, intelligent tutor. The 3rd version of the course coupled self-paced, individualized instruction on the web-based, intelligent Algebra tutor coupled with a series of e-learning modules on self-regulated learning knowledge and skills that were distributed throughout the semester. A quasi-experimental, mixed methods evaluation design was used by assigning pre-registered, high-school remedial Algebra I class periods made up of an approximately equal number of students to one of the three study conditions or course versions: (a) the control course design, (b) web-based, intelligent tutor only course design, and (c) web-based, intelligent tutor + SRL e-learning modules course design. While no statistically significant differences on SRL skills, math achievement or motivation were found between the three conditions, effect-size estimates provide suggestive evidence that using the SRL e-learning modules based on ARCS motivation model (Keller, 2010) and Let Me Learn learning pattern instruction (Dawkins, Kottkamp, & Johnston, 2010) may help students regulate their learning and improve their study skills while using a web-based, intelligent Algebra tutor as evidenced by positive impacts on math achievement, motivation, and self-regulated learning skills. The study also explored predictive analyses using multiple regression and found that predictive models based on independent variables aligned to student demographics, learning mastery skills, and ARCS motivational factors are helpful in defining how to further refine course design and design learning evaluations that measure achievement, motivation, and self-regulated learning in web-based learning environments, including intelligent tutoring systems. / Dissertation/Thesis / Ph.D. Educational Technology 2013

In Swedish schools the education should stimulate students’ creativity, curiosity and self-confidence, as well as provide security and generate the will and desire to learn. Therefore, the aim of this case study is to investigate the area of motivation and how motivation is affected by the usage of Content and Language Integrated Learning (CLIL). Initially, the theoretical foundation for the research, including scaffolding and important theories of second language learner motivation, are outlined and defined. The Process Motivational Model (PMM), is used as a framework to investigate key aspects of motivation in language learning by using two different pedagogical approaches. Our findings show a rise in key aspects of motivation when using CLIL. The learning environment changes positively, and the learner engagement increases when the content of the lesson is fun and authentic. The major conclusions from the results of the case study are that (i) the students were more intrinsically motivated during CLIL-lessons and the L2 learners efforts improved, (ii) the combination of the curricular subject matter Geography and English increased the interest to learn, (iii) the motivation of the students that were passive or interruptive during the non-CLIL lessons increased significantly during the CLIL-lessons (iiii) and the feelings of competence and self-worth increased after the CLIL-lessons. This study is a qualitative case study based on observations, focus groups and a teacher interview in an elementary school in Sweden.

This study is an investigation into the morale and motivation of Nigerian teachers. Due to the geographical and administrative vastness of Nigeria this study focuses on Abia State. Abia is one of the 36 States of Nigeria and it typifies the educational structure and practice of Nigeria The study involves teachers and students from two primary and two secondary schools from each of the educational zones in Abia (a total of 12 schools). A focus group of 37 headteachers across Abia State will also be studied and the views of a cross section of students (12 students from each secondary school) are sought. The background information on education in Nigeria and Abia State as well as the reasons for this study are discussed in the introduction. A review of the literature on morale and motivation in African countries and other international studies is presented. The study employs ethnographic multiple case study and focus group methods which included a semi-structured focus group interview, participant observation and a self-administered questionnaire. Research methods and findings are discussed and analysed and from these emerged a motivation model. The study concludes with a discussion and evaluation of the findings. Obviously, any research work of this magnitude would have its limitations. These will be discussed. Recommendations for future research and developments towards improving the morale and motivation of teachers in Nigeria would follow.

目前我國公務人員考績制度中的｢考列甲等比率設限｣措施，乃係考試院為改善公務人員考績長期以來評價浮寬(rating inflation)現象所為，然此舉卻使考核者深感打考績是一項沉重的行政負擔，而改以｢均賞少罰｣心態，對受考核者核予偏離實際工作表現的評價，導致考績綜覈名實、信賞必罰的績效管理功能嚴重失靈。故本研究以新北市政府一級機關業務單位為研究對象，探討渠等在｢考列甲等比率設限｣措施下，是否具有按受考核者客觀工作表現作出排序的能力，及影響渠等依此做出適當績效評價意願的因素。 本研究採用深度訪談法，藉由Park於2014年提出的公部門考核者動機模型，抽取與本文研究興趣有關的因素後，重新歸納建構本研究的分析模型，並以此模型內所用分析元素作為訪談設計、資料蒐集、分析的依據。研究後得出以下結論：（一）考核者具有考評能力，且辦理考績的過程乃是一個具有時間序列概念的動態性過程；（二）所感受到的課責強度將視來源而異且具有正、負面效果；（三）誘因設計牽動考核者動機與相應考核策略；（四）業務性質將影響考核動機與考核策略二者間之關係；（五）現行考績制度對積極管理作用是有限的。 綜上，本研究提出三項建議：（一）授權各主管機關視整體施政目標及業務特性研訂考績評比及平時考核指標；（二）考績辦理方式多元化，藉由增列「優等」及透過團體績效評核等方式，發揮獎賞及汰劣功能；（三）賦予考核者更多權力，透過允許機關作出更具多元化的裁量或對制度設計擁有較多的自我控制，以增加考核者管理工具並發揮考績積極管考功能。

女性在過去社會所扮演的主要是以滿足家庭需要為先的角色。隨著工業化的結果，女性參與家庭以外的勞力市場之就業顯著的增加，女性勞在整個勞動市場已占有舉足輕重的地位，但女性勞工參與工會的比例仍然很低。即使在女性會員占大部份的工會，不論是工會干部或其他工會行政部門中的職務，都鮮有女性擔任，而工會所舉辦的各種活動，女性也較少支持或參與。基於工會之功能乃在於保障勞工的權益，為了使女性的工作權能得到應有的保障，喚起有關單位對女性勞工福利的重視，實有必要透過工會運用集體的力量來完成；然此又必先從女性能積極和支持工會做起。 本研究旨在探討目前女性勞工在工會行政部門的參與情形，并運用組織社會學中「機會–動機關聯模型」(opportunity-motivation model)分析影響女性參與工會行政部門之因素，其中機會因素包括來自女性會員本身的背景變項，如教育、年資、職位；和來自家庭的影響變項，如家人的支持程度、有否十二歲以下之子女，動機因素則包括女性之工作投入度、對工會的態度及對工會事務之興趣等變項。研究結果發現，女性受許多外在結構因素所影響，即使本身有動機願意參與工會之行政，卻沒有足夠的機會使她們參與。
