Abstract

The argumentative point of departure of this scholarly book is the common conviction of specialists in the field of education in South Africa that the national education system is not at a satisfactory level – in both the academic and the public discourse. Such allegations are made and, frequently, stronger adjectives than ‘non-satisfactory’ are used. Results of international test series in which South Africa has participated, such as the 2015 TIMSS tests, confirm the negative verdicts found in the (public and scholarly) discourse. This book aims to argue that although the lack of performance could be attributed to a multiplicity of factors, one factor that can make a difference in the achievement levels obtained by learners in schools is leadership. The book demonstrates that a particular problem of both the scholarly and the public discourse on education in South Africa is an overtone of defeatism or resignation, blaming all ills in the education system and educational institutions on historical legacies and/or contextual factors (such as socio-economic deprivation in the catchment areas of schools) or poor resources and infrastructure. This collected work was inspired by a recently published spate of articles on top-performing schools (including top-performing schools in rural communities), in which it was demonstrated that good leadership can overcome such contextual and other challenges. The book unpacks the issue of leadership in South African schools from a variety of perspectives, thus contributing to the development of the scholarly discourse on Educational Leadership in South Africa. The target audience of the book is scholars of Educational Leadership. The research reported in the chapters draw on a wide range of methodologies, including empirical (survey) research (questionnaires and interviews), critical literature surveys, and the comparative method.

49. The Concept of IMPRESSION: An Interactive Instruction System and Its Practice for Real-Time Distance Lessons between U.S. and Japan.

Author

Mitsuishi, Takashi, Konno, Fumiko, Higuchi, Yuki, and Go, Kentaro

Abstract

In order to perform flexible and effective lesson, we proposed ˵Double Loop Instructional Design Process Model″ and developed an interactive instruction system; IMPRESSION based on the proposed model. In this paper, we show the concept of IMPRESSION and also describe the real-time distance lessons we conducted continuously in the first semester of 2007 with IMPRESSION and Skype by connecting between Mountain View, CA, U.S. and Tohoku University, Sendai, Japan via the Internet. As a result of these lessons, we confirmed that although we had a little time lag and some QoS problems of video stream caused by narrow bandwidth and very long distance, we could perform flexible and effective real-time distance lessons by using IMPRESSION and a videoconference system like ordinary lessons such as chalk and talk lessons in a classroom. However, we also found some points to be improved on for continuous use of IMPRESSION. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

50. A Study on the Design of Voice Navigation of Car Navigation System.

Author

Abstract

This study tries to find the designing blind spots of the voice prompt function in the current car navigation systems and make improvement suggestions. The experimental plan was implemented through videotape analysis of the voice-prompt mode, referring to Urban Road Classification Regulations and the questionnaire survey results. Driving simulation tests were conducted with 15 experimental subjects, 13 road combinations, and 3 running speeds, and different prompt modes which were run synchronously were also included. Compared with the present mode (prompt time is determined by distance.), the newly-designed mode (prompt time is determined by running speed.) significantly improved driving performance and reduced mental workload. When driving on a main artery with fast lanes and slow lanes, adding a changing-lane prompt with a clear sound to the system can help increasing the driving accuracy rate. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
