Fri, 07 Jul 2023 11:16:29 EDT //www.koonmotors.com/releases/2023/07/230707111629.htm //www.koonmotors.com/releases/2023/07/230705194618.htm Encouraging adolescents to feel capable and purposeful -- rather than just happy -- could improve their academic results as well as their mental health, according to new research which recommends changing how wellbeing is supported in schools. The study involved over 600 teenagers from schools in England and examined two aspects of wellbeing: life satisfaction (which roughly equates to how happy a person is) and 'eudaimonia', which incorporates feelings of competence, motivation, self-esteem and of 'functioning well'. Students with higher eudaimonia consistently outperformed peers in GCSE-level assessments, especially Maths. The study's lead author suggests that attention to these aspects of wellbeing could improve some pupils' Maths scores 'by a couple of grades'. There was no link between academic performance and life satisfaction. Despite this, life satisfaction -- helping children to feel 'happy' and suppress negative thoughts -- remains the focus of wellbeing education in English schools. 2023年结婚,05年7月19:46:18美国东部时间 //www.koonmotors.com/releases/2023/07/230705194618.htm //www.koonmotors.com/releases/2023/06/230629125739.htm Children do better at maths when music is a key part of their lessons, an analysis of almost 50 years of research on the topic has revealed.

However, where the boundary for cheating lies is highly unclear.

Cybersickness -- a type of motion sickness from virtual reality experiences such as computer games -- significantly reduces when joyful music is part of the immersive experience, the study found. The intensity of the nausea-related symptoms of cybersickness was also found to substantially decrease with both joyful and calming music.

Students scored an overall average of 76.7%, compared to ChatGPT's score of 47.4%. On a 11.3% of questions, ChatGPT scored higher than the student average, doing particularly well on AIS and auditing. But the AI bot did worse on tax, financial, and managerial assessments, possibly because ChatGPT struggled with the mathematical processes required for the latter type.

The goals of the project were to help students explore the challenges, limitations and promise of AI, and to ensure a future workforce is prepared to make use of AI tools. Tue, 04 Apr 2023 16:17:06 EDT //www.koonmotors.com/releases/2023/04/230404161706.htm //www.koonmotors.com/releases/2023/03/230303105248.htm A new study finds that high school students identify more with math if they see their math teacher treating everyone in the class equitably, especially in racially diverse schools. While the relationship between teacher equity and math identity was evident across races, there was an interesting exception. Black students, in general, had strong math identities, regardless of their teacher's actions. Learning about the factors that affect student math identity is important because a student's attitude towards the subject influences the courses that they take as well as their future career selections. This study suggests that teachers may have a larger role to play in helping students develop a positive math identity than previously recognized.

The bad news? Video games assumed to be effective learning tools showed no meaningful effects, either.

Outdoor play is a promising target for reducing the negative effects of screen time in young children and should be encouraged where possible.

Those who learned each language in its own unique context mixed up fewer words and were able to recall 92% of the words they had learned. In contrast, participants who had learned both sets of words in the same VR context were more likely to confuse terms between the two languages and retained only 76% of the words. Regardless of group, those participants who felt immersed in the VR world remembered more than those who did not feel immersed.

These systems have to be trained, often needing to learn to recognize objects from video or image data. This data often contains superfluous content that reduces the accuracy of models. So researchers found a way to incorporate natural hand gestures into the teaching process. This way, users can more easily teach machines about objects, and the machines can also learn more effectively.

But it's precisely those classes that can increase student interest in school and even benefit their math achievement, according to a new study.

With recent technological advances, text can be simplified automatically through artificial intelligence-enabled software. A new study investigated the effectiveness of an automatic text simplification (ATS) software and found that it made text comprehensible for L2 learners with a certain level of reading proficiency, highlighting the need for additional development of these tools for them to become effective for all learners.

Notably, 19 percent of Asian American youth said they had been cyberbullied, and about 1 in 4 (23.5 percent) indicated they were victimized online because of their race/color. Asian American youth were the only racial group where the majority (59 percent) reported more cyberbullying since the start of the COVID-19 pandemic. In 2019, Asian American youth were the least likely to have experienced cyberbullying.

Results showed those who said yes in ninth grade were much likelier to major in STEM subjects and work in related fields after college. The results show the importance of helping students have positive math and science experiences early and could be a way to help address equity gaps in STEM.

Digital resilience is the capability to learn how to recognize, manage and recover from online risks -- such as bullying and inappropriate content -- and has the potential to buffer how these experiences may impact young people's wellbeing.

WHIRL is an efficient algorithm for one-shot visual imitation. It can learn directly from human-interaction videos and generalize that information to new tasks, making robots well-suited to learning household chores. People constantly perform various tasks in their homes. With WHIRL, a robot can observe those tasks and gather the video data it needs to eventually determine how to complete the job itself.

Half received feedback in the form of a pre-written 'expert solution', while the others received feedback from AI. In a subsequent test of the quality of their reasoning when predicting potential learning difficulties in pupils, those who received the AI feedback scored 10 percentage points higher than the other group. The researchers suggest that AI may therefore be an effective substitute for close, personal feedback on teacher training programmes when training these skills, if one-to-one support is not available.
