Project Title:	Design of Effective Interactive Learning Objects for Pocket PC delivery
Investigator(s):	Churchill D
Department:	Education Faculty
Source(s) of Funding:	Seed Funding Programme for Basic Research
Start Date:	05/2005

Abstract:

The aim of this project is to develop a strategy that enhances the design of learning objects for Pocket PC mode of delivery. This will be achieved through understanding the limitations of this environment for effective visualization and interactivity (Bederson and Shneiderman, 2003; Fraser, 1999; Nardi, 1997; Tufte, 1983). Once developed the strategy will be useful as heuristics for individuals engaged in the design of learning objects for delivery in Pocket PC environments. These individuals might be teachers or multimedia designers engaged in preparation of educational resources. This understanding will also be useful as a guideline to teachers who intend to use such technology with their students, providing information on the limitations as well as the kinds of support necessary to ensure effective learning.Learning objects are most effective when designed as interactive visual representations of data, information and knowledge (Jonassen and Churchill, 2004; Churchill, 2004). Such interactive and visual representations allow learners to examine data, retrieve information, generalize, experiment, practice, test assumptions (Churchill, 2003). Use of an effective interactive learning object potentially leaves a residue in a form of a cognitive resource which adds to overall intellectual capacity of learners (Churchill, 2005). This understanding of learning objects is in line with contemporary theories of learning which confirm that it is important to plan for technology integration in support of learners' engagement in an activity where they conduct inquiries, solve problems, innovate and collaborate (Engeström, 1987; Jonassen, and Carr, 2000; Jonassen and Rohrer-Murphy, 1999; Salomon, Perkins, and Globerson, 1991).We have very limited guidelines in relation to effective design of interactive learning objects for Pocket PC mode of delivery (Luchini, Quintana, and Soloway, 2004) Most of the interactive learning objects have been designed for delivery over standard computers. There are rare attempts by designers to create learning objects for the Pocket PC environment. Most attempts to design education content for this mode of delivery are reduced to creating e-books as a scrollable text with some illustrations and very limited interactivity. Squeezing a lot of text and images in limited screen space is clearly a problem for a consumer of this material.

Project Title:	A study of the development of students' economic literacy through a learning study
Investigator(s):	Pang MF, Marton Ference
Department:	Education Faculty
Source(s) of Funding:	Seed Funding Programme for Basic Research
Start Date:	01/2005

Abstract:

The aim of the proposed project will be to test a theory-based approach to developing secondary school students’ economic literacy, i.e. to enable them to handle economic reality in more powerful ways. The idea is that by becoming capable of seeing economic reality in more powerful ways, the students will become more capable of making economic decisions. According to Stigler (1970), economic literacy serves as a tool of understanding their economic world, and that this capability should be possessed by every person. The increasing rate of personal bankruptcies and credit card debts, people’s lack of awareness of the importance of saving and investment, and the inability to identify the consequences of important international economic events, amongst other factors, provide evidence that it is necessary and urgent to promote economic literacy among citizens (The National Council on Economic Education, 2003). As Ellison and Kallenbach (1996) argued, economic literacy is an important component of adult literacy, and without developing students’ awareness of the way in which economic decision-making takes place, educators have not fulfilled their brief of enabling “students to gain control over their lives”. Students needs to learn how to analyse the financial matters by making use of the relevant economic concepts and principles, such as the opportunity cost of financial decisions, the relationship between risk, return and liquidity, inflation and real value of return for investment, etc. However, the survey of economic literacy in Hong Kong commissioned by Securities and Futures Commission in 2002 shows that 91% of the potential investors considered their understanding of investment dealings insufficient. It is ironic to find that there are rather low levels of economic literacy in one of the world’s largest financial centres. Even local university students have commonly been found to manage their personal finance poorly, resulting in an ever-increasing number of bankruptcies. It seems that there is a strong and urgent need to raise standards of economic literacy for the young people. As Alan Greenspan (2002) emphasized, improving economic and financial education during secondary school years can provide a foundation for economic literacy, thereby helping high school leavers avoid poor financial decisions that can take years to overcome. In many parts of the world, despite the huge effort that has been devoted to teaching economic literacy, findings of students’ economic understanding have not been encouraging. For instance, in the US only 45% of high school seniors could give correct answers to questions about economic fundamentals in a 1998 study (Dahl, 1998). In Hong Kong, students’ performance in Economics has also been far from satisfactory. Over the years, around 40% of the candidates sitting the Hong Kong Certificate of Education Examination scored 30 marks or less, and the students have generally been described as having a “lack of a thorough understanding of basic economic concepts and principles” (Hong Kong Examinations and Assessment Authority, 2003, p. 82). Apparently, it is a rather difficult, though important, job to enable secondary school students to become economically literate. Thus, the key issue seems to be, “how can we help students develop economic literacy in an effective way?”As the foundation for the proposed project, Pang has undertaken a number of learning studies (Pang & Marton, 2003) grounded in variation theory (e.g. Marton & Booth, 1997; Pang, 2003) to investigate how to enhance student learning in economics. In Pang’s (2002) study, the object of learning was to help Grade 10 students to develop the capability of seeing the phenomenon of the incidence of a sales tax in an economic way: that is, to realize that the distribution of the tax burden between buyers and sellers depends on the relative elasticity of demand and supply. The study concluded that the use of a learning study that is informed by variation theory may be a more effective means of achieving students’ learning of intended objects of learning than a lesson study. In the classes of the lesson study group, fewer than 30% of the students developed a good grasp of the concept, compared to over 70% of the students in the learning study group (Pang & Marton, 2003; Lo, Marton, Pang & Pong, 2004).Recently, Marton and Pang (forthcoming) has done a further study on developing in students another fundamental economic concept, i.e. the effects of a simultaneous change in demand and supply on market price. A group of experienced secondary school teachers engaged in learning study and used the variation theory as a resource for planning and carrying out their teaching of this difficult concept. Their students’ mastery of this concept after a series of three lessons was compared with the mastery of the same concept by students who were taught by another group of teachers under the same conditions except for the use of the variation theory. The difference in learning outcomes in the post-test written task was striking. About 84.4% of the students who were taught by the learning study group showed that they managed to take into account the relative magnitude of change in demand and supply when looking at the price change. In the lesson study group, 22.8% of the students reached this level of understanding. Nonetheless, these studies are mainly concerned with helping students develop a powerful understanding of ‘independent’ economic concepts. Few studies have ever been conducted to investigate how to develop economic literacy among school students. This study thus represents a pioneering endeavour, which aims to build on our previous work done and address the key research question “how can teachers make use of a learning study grounded on the variation theory as a resource for developing students’ economic literacy?” and the specific research questions that follow are:1. How can we develop among students the domain-specific generic capability of experiencing financial matters in an economic way2. How can the variation theory be used as a tool to help teachers allow students to experience the objects of learning in a certain way?3. How can the use of a learning study help teachers learn professionally and thereby enhance student learning?

Project Title:	Digital high speed imaging study of vocal fold vibratory patterns in normal voice production
Investigator(s):	Yiu EML, Kong JP
Department:	Edu Fac-Speech and Hearing Sci Division
Source(s) of Funding:	Seed Funding Programme for Basic Research
Start Date:	03/2005

Abstract:

Objectives1. To investigate the vocal fold vibratory pattern and acoustic patterns of modal, falsetto and creaky phonations in speakers with normal voices using high speed digital imaging technique.2. To establish a database of high speed images of normal vocal fold vibrationHuman voice is produced by vocal fold vibration at 100 (male) to 300 (female) cycles per second (Hz). However, human eyes are unable to follow the rapid vibratory movement of the vocal folds. A high speed image recording technique with a frame rate up to 2000 frames per second is necessary to capture such movement patterns. This technique provides a new perspective for studying vocal fold vibration which was not possible previously. There are only a few centers in the world that are equipped with the high speed endoscopic imaging facilities (e.g. Germany, Hong Kong, Japan, Sweden and USA). The Voice Research Laboratory at HKU is among one of these centers. Published literature to date on high speed studies of vocal fold vibration focused primarily on the physiology or mechanic aspects. Very few of them examined the relationship between the vocal fold vibratory patterns and the phonatory (acoustic) properties. This study proposes to investigate vocal fold vibration using the high speed digital imaging system available at HKU.A high-speed imaging protocol for examining the vocal fold vibration of modal, falsetto and vocal fry phonation has been established in 2004 (Wong, 2004, supervised by Yiu). The study, based on a small sample size (N=6), found that there is much variability in the vibratory pattern. Therefore, it is essential to include a larger sample size, e.g. N=30, in order to establish a representative database. Furthermore, the preliminary study by Wong (2004) did not have access to simultaneous recordings of acoustic or electroglottographic signals. The analysis was entirely based on video images while the relationship with acoustic or electroglottographic signals could not be examined. Therefore, there is a need to investigate vocal fold vibration with synchronized acoustic and electroglottographic signals.
