The relationship among self-concept, self-efficacy, and performance in mathematics was examined 416 high school students. Participants completed a questionnaire assessing self-concept self-efficacy. Performance assessed using end-of-term exam results mathematics. Confirmatory factor analyses supported the existence of two components--a competency component an affective component. Self-efficacy items also loaded on single factor. Social comparison information equally influential formation...
A variety of measurements have been used to evaluate the treatment aerosol radiative properties and impacts aerosols simulated by Model for Integrated Research on Atmospheric Global Exchange (MIRAGE). The water uptake in MIRAGE agrees with laboratory measurements, growth extinction relative humidity simulations field measurements. frequency near 100% is about twice that analyzed humidity. When calculate MIRAGE, optical depth most surface after cloudy conditions are filtered out differences...
Abstract Purpose – The need for "job‐ready" graduates has catalysed the development of non‐technical skills in higher education institutions worldwide. Continued criticism business school outcomes provoked this examination skill deficiencies Australian graduates. purpose paper is to compare findings with existing literature on gaps other developed, culturally‐similar economies, underscore generality identified problems, and highlight stakeholders undergraduate those areas requiring curricula...
This article addresses the growing need to profile required competencies of entry-level business graduates and evaluate extent which they are generic across international boundaries discipline areas. Two hundred ninety-one Australian UK academics examined relative importance a broad set graduate competencies. Results indicated three distinct profiles preferred 'types' for both academics: 'Manager', 'People Person' 'Business Analyst'. The composition membership sizes each were similar samples...
Abstract. Simulated primary organic aerosols (POA), as well other particulates and trace gases, in the vicinity of Mexico City are evaluated using measurements collected during 2006 Megacity Initiative: Local Global Research Observations (MILAGRO) field campaigns. Since emission inventories, transport, turbulent mixing will directly affect predictions total matter consequently particulate matter, our objective is to assess uncertainties predicted POA before testing evaluating performance...
SummaryEngineering education in Australia continues to evolve. This study asks: “Are current changes engineering consistent with competence deficiencies graduates perceived by engineers ? “The method is different from previous international and Australian studies, the findings are results of studies. Practical competencies business featured strongly. The support continuation trends evolution education: cultural change, broadening curricula, introduction non-traditional pedagogies,...
Abstract Engineering curricula have expanded in recent decades. In addition to science and technical engineering, they now include several non-technical competencies. This is a trend reinforced by programme accreditation. The authors take the viewpoint that it important ensure graduates competencies will require for their work. following question addressed: What are generic engineers graduating Australia work as engineers? Competencies were identified from broad range of literature then...
The impact of catastrophic events on hospitals and communities is huge continues to hinder progress in developing nations industrialized countries alike. Over the last 10 years, UN/ISDR has sponsored a series global conferences increase awareness importance risk vulnerability reduction need build disaster resilient communities. In recognition that contribute health resiliency community, ISDR adopted PAHO WHO "Safe Resilient Hospital" initiative. primary focus initiative ensure physical...
Significant efforts have now been made to identify the generic competencies required succeed across different workplace contexts. The aims of this paper were to: (i) outline factors that contributed increased demand for seen over last three decades; and (ii) review early competency frameworks developed in Australia, New Zealand, US, Canada, UK, other European countries. It is concluded whilst there significant areas commonality amongst frameworks, regional differences also apparent. provides...
This paper contributes to understanding of the generic engineering competencies required by engineers graduating in Australia and competency theory. The Competencies Engineering Graduates (CEG) Project was conducted identify Australia. methodology adapted a theoretical framework for key developed Definition Selection commissioned Organisation Economic Cooperation Development. phases CEG included literature review, panel session, two large-scale surveys focus group. By reflecting on whole...
The influence of globalization on education, in particular higher has brought to the fore constructs which were kept background for a long time. One such is intercultural competence (IC), wide range applications both incoming international students and admin teaching staff tertiary education host country. There have been considerable attempts address growing demand IC development field, but gap still felt literature due complexity construct. To move towards substantial contribution filling...
While COVID-19 imposed significant risks to the mental health of individuals all ages, research suggests that university students were particularly vulnerable such in this period. This study examined whether personality traits predicted impact on Chinese students’ during pandemic; coping strategies they used mediated relationships; and patterns relationship differed across males females. Participants (453 females, 374 males) completed online measures personality, strategies, adverse shifts...
Recent studies have produced mixed evidence of impairments in facial affect interpretation for children with attention deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD). This study investigated the presence and nature such across different stimulus formats. Twenty-four boys ADHD 24 age-matched comparison completed a 72-trial task that included expressions happiness, sadness, fear, anger, surprise, disgust. Three versions each expression were used: static version, dynamic version presented within...
In 2017, international students contributed almost $32 billion to Australia's economy, more than half of which was attributable from China. Despite its historical popularity as a study destination, research suggests that these confront numerous obstacles in pursuing their studies within Australia. this study, the perspectives were explored. The dominant issues raised by related mental health and emotional wellbeing.Nineteen one Australian university participated one-on-one in-depth...
