Purpose The purpose of this paper is to test the ability Ajzen's Theory Planned Behavior predict entrepreneurial intent in 12 countries representing all ten global regional clusters as identified GLOBE project. Design/methodology/approach model was operationalized address and a questionnaire developed consisting previously used scales, well new measure autonomy. A total 1,748 usable questionnaires were collected from university business students countries. Findings results suggest that planned behavior, study, does successfully each study countries, although foreseen by Ajzen, significant contributing elements differ country percent variance explained model, one element, social norms, predictor country. Originality/value This first provide insight role cognition process examining behavior culture clusters. also provides guidance for future research individual development entrepreneurs.

The Use of Immersive Virtual Reality in the Learning Sciences: Digital Transformations of Teachers, Students, and Social Context

Journal of the Learning Sciences, Год журнала: 2008, Номер 17(1), С. 102 - 141

Опубликована: Фев. 15, 2008

Abstract This article illustrates the utility of using virtual environments to transform social interaction via behavior and context, with goal improving learning in digital environments. We first describe technology theories behind then report data from 4 empirical studies. In Experiment 1, we demonstrated that teachers augmented perception (i.e., receiving visual warnings alerting them students not enough teacher eye gaze) were able spread their attention more equally among than without perception. Experiments 2 3, by breaking rules spatial proximity exist physical space, can learn being center teacher's field view (compared periphery) closer farther away). 4, inserting co-learners who either model or distracting changed abilities experiment participants conformed co-learners. Results suggest will have a unique ability alter dynamics transformed interaction. would like thank Roy Pea, Byron Reeves, Stanford LIFE lab for helpful suggestions Sandra Okita Dan Schwartz as well detailed comments on an earlier draft this article. work was supported part National Science Foundation Grant 0527377.

Interaction Design and Children

Опубликована: Янв. 1, 2007

Given the greater exposure of children to computer technologies, it is imperative that they be designed taking into account children's abilities, interests, and developmental needs. Interaction Design Children aims contribute towards this goal through a survey research on cognitive motor development, safety issues related technologies design methodologies principles. It also provides an overview current trends in field interaction identifies challenges for future research. young field, but has strong foundations build on. Decades work child development provide starting point. Research skills can guide low-level interactions. An awareness risks may pose warning signs areas stay away from. Following empirically based guidelines ease way. But many remain valuable tool those who want become familiar with as well looking get up date children.

Pedagogical agents as learning companions: the impact of agent emotion and gender

Journal of Computer Assisted Learning, Год журнала: 2007, Номер 23(3), С. 220 - 234

Опубликована: Янв. 12, 2007

Abstract The potential of emotional interaction between human and computer has recently interested researchers in human–computer interaction. instructional impact this learning environments not been established, however. This study examined the emotion gender a pedagogical agent as companion (PAL) on social judgements, interest, self‐efficacy, learning. Two experiments investigated separately effects PAL's expression empathetic response. Experiment 1 focused (positive vs. negative neutral) (male female) with sample 142 male female college students literacy course. 2 response (responsive non‐responsive) 56 pre‐service teachers. Overall, results yielded main PAL dependent variables. In particular, had positive learner interest self‐efficacy; recall. findings imply that digital could be utilized to optimize students' motivation

Self-efficacy in the context of online learning environments: A review of the literature and directions for research

Performance Improvement Quarterly, Год журнала: 2008, Номер 20(3-4), С. 7 - 25

Опубликована: Янв. 1, 2008

The purpose of this paper is to examine the construct self-efficacy in context online learning environments. Self-efficacy defined as “beliefs one's capabilities organize and execute courses action required produce given attainments” (Bandura, 1997, p. 3). Traditionally, four main sources development are enactive master experiences, vicarious verbal persuasion, physiological affective state 1997). In paper, introduced general. Research related academic environments reviewed. study new relative self-efficacy. on use computers instructional situations has been included broaden literature base. beliefs highlighted well assessment issues. Possible areas research suggested, including pedagogical agents, persuasive feedback, assessment.

A gender matching effect in learning with pedagogical agents in an immersive virtual reality science simulation

Abstract The main objective of this study is to determine whether boys and girls learn better when the characteristics pedagogical agent are matched gender learner while learning in immersive virtual reality (VR). Sixty‐six middle school students (33 females) were randomly assigned about laboratory safety with one two agents: Marie or a drone, who we predicted serve as role models for females males, respectively. results indicated that there significant interactions dependent variables performance during learning, retention, transfer, performing ( d = 0.98, 0.67, 1.03; performance, respectively) drone −0.41, −0.45, −0.23, respectively). suggest gender‐specific design agents may play an important VR environments.
