This document discusses a study that assessed challenges in teaching and learning mathematics in secondary schools in Ghana. The study administered questionnaires to 100 teachers and 260 students. It found that some of the main challenges included a lack of teaching and learning materials (22.2%), an inconsistent syllabus from the Ghana Education Service (16.7%), and poor student attitudes towards mathematics (19.4%). Performance on mathematics exams in Ghana declined sharply between 2012 and 2013. The number of students taking the exams more than doubled but far fewer students passed in 2013 compared to 2012. Reasons proposed for the poor performance included unqualified teachers teaching mathematics and students' mathematics anxiety.
This document presents a dissertation that designed a mobile learning framework for formal education based on three design cycles. The first cycle developed an initial framework based on literature. The second cycle included four case studies that advanced the initial framework. The third cycle included an online survey that deepened the understanding of factors influencing mobile learning. Based on these cycles, a mobile learning framework is suggested that clarifies the core aspects of mobile learning and their interrelationships, as well as other important contextual factors. The framework highlights pedagogy, context, learner, device, and social interaction. The study also indicates that mobile learning requires preparation, competent teachers, sufficient ICT infrastructure, and support.

IRJET - Dnyanada-Back to Learn: A SurveyIRJET Journal
This document summarizes a research paper on an Android application called "Back to Learn" that aims to provide educational opportunities for adults in India. The application categorizes content into three levels (Beginner, Moderate, Expert) covering basics like letters, numbers, and advancing to sentence structure and English language lessons. It was created to address India's low literacy rates, as many rural adults lack access to formal education. The application design incorporates user registration, course selection, and an admin interface to manage content. The goal is to make knowledge accessible through a mobile application to help improve India's education rates.

Essentials of Automations: Exploring Attributes & Automation ParametersSafe Software
Building automations in FME Flow can save time, money, and help businesses scale by eliminating data silos and providing data to stakeholders in real-time. One essential component to orchestrating complex automations is the use of attributes & automation parameters (both formerly known as “keys”). In fact, it’s unlikely you’ll ever build an Automation without using these components, but what exactly are they?
Attributes & automation parameters enable the automation author to pass data values from one automation component to the next. During this webinar, our FME Flow Specialists will cover leveraging the three types of these output attributes & parameters in FME Flow: Event, Custom, and Automation. As a bonus, they’ll also be making use of the Split-Merge Block functionality.
You’ll leave this webinar with a better understanding of how to maximize the potential of automations by making use of attributes & automation parameters, with the ultimate goal of setting your enterprise integration workflows up on autopilot.

The typical problem in product engineering is not bad strategy, so much as “no strategy”. This leads to confusion, lack of motivation, and incoherent action. The next time you look for a strategy and find an empty space, instead of waiting for it to be filled, I will show you how to fill it in yourself. If you’re wrong, it forces a correction. If you’re right, it helps create focus. I’ll share how I’ve approached this in the past, both what works and lessons for what didn’t work so well.

Editor's Notes
Thank you for your introduction. My name is Hidekazu Kasahara from Kyoto University. I will make a presentation of our research. We are developing a mobile service for ensuring students’ safety during the school trips. During the system developmet, we found some non-technical issues for realizing the service. In this presentation, from the viewpoint of the business, I will describe our approach to realize the service.
This is agenda. Introduction, problems, previous research, our method, and conclusion.
In Japan, school trip is one of the biggest group tours. This is a traditional event of Japanese schools, and 3.4 million students went to school trips. The participation rate is high. In case of Kyoto city, around 10% of all tourists who stayed is school trip students. Therefore, school trip is important for destinations and travel agents.
http://raku.city.kyoto.jp/kanko_top/image/kanko_chosa24.pdf
http://raku.city.kyoto.jp/kanko_top/image/shiryo250528.pdf
In school trip, teachers are responsible for students’ safety. This is different to personal trips. Teachers have been mentioned only accidents in the non disaster situation, such as stray. And, they prepared countermeasures; check-point, patrol, and taxi. However, the quake in 2011 changed everything. No way to ensure safety in the disaster situations was prepared. This is our motivation to design and implement.
As damage information, the safety confirmation information is important because the safety information of disaster-affected persons are used for rescue, evacuation, and restoration.
This figure shows total image of our system, ETSS. ETSS means Educational Tour Support System. This provides the current position and a history of movement during the trips in non-disaster situations and helps to escape in disaster situation. ETSS realizes information sharing among related persons. School master in field HQ, school staff in school and students groups. Students’ location is real-time monitored by GPS/Wi-Fi. Students safety is ensured by mail and voice. Information is gathered to ETSS system server, and provide to each smartphone and tablets.
Please watch a short movie for help of understanding.
We found some non-technical issues during the system development. Namely, 1) limited sales channel, 2) difficult monetization, 3) anxiety about the treatment of privacy information and 4) teachers’ technophobia. Our solutions against these issues are ; Alliance with travel agent, Revenue model & cost structure, Data management policy, Highlight students’ safety.
Schools purchase all service via travel agents. School trip market is occupied by 2 dominant travel agents. Sales channel is dominated. Other players can not access to school directly. So, we ally with one of dominant agents. The alliance with agent, provider and university makes channel to schools. For the agent, ETSS strengthens the competitive power against another.
Most smartphone application is distributed via AppStore or Google Play. We call this application distribution model. But, distribution model is generally low-performing because the usage fee is generally cheap or free. So, ad is the main revenue source of distribution model. For the application that has mass users, distribution model is useful. However, school trip market is not so massive. Also, teacher do not like ad. So, we adopted software bundle model. ETSS provider rent ETSS bundling smartphone and tablet to schools via travel agents. By bundling model, we can price ETSS high. Of course, there is some demerits. Most important one is that Initial CAPEX for smartphone is necessary. So, next is cost issue.
For ETSS, two initial investments are necessary. For system and smartphones. Number of smartphone is 1,000. Big initial investment is burden for venture business. So, these CAPEXs are converted to OPEX. System CAPEX is paid as monthly operation fee at usage base. This is ASP model. Smartphone CAPEX is paid at fixed base to a mobile telecom company.
As for operating expenditure, we can use financial grant from Kyoto city for employment. Only office and delivery fee is our own accounts.
Another issue remains.
Teachers can accept because it looks like the existing service.
In fact, some teacher said tablet is too heavy. Their bag is full of papers, guides, and other paper documents…
This is current status of ETSS. We test launched ETSS last December in Kyoto. 5 national newspapers and many local papers reported this. This April, ETSS is officially launched. After press release, we and Kyoto City start talking with collaboration with data sharing in case of disaster. Kyoto city expects that they can grasp the status of students via this collaboration for rescue in case of disaster.
We are preparing our GPS data sharing among research institutes.
Thank you for your attention.

This is mail application. Mail confirmation has two stages.
Left side shows the 1st step of mail reply to broadcast mail from teachers. “Safety report.” This is from teachers. Title is “Safety confirmation.” And teacher asks “Are you all right? Tell me your status.”. In case in trouble. Right side is the 2nd step. “Status report.” Students select the reply from the list. “No problem,” ”Injured,” ”Illness,” ”Stray,” “Lost matter,” “Late,” “Other.” And this is the free form. In this cae, the student wrote “Mr. A lost his way in Ginkaku-ji.” The icon is send button.
The proposed service is called “Education Tour Support Service.” ETSS. Service requirements from teachers are as follows;
1) Dual use in both normal and disaster situation is essential,
2) Direct communication between teachers and students is necessary.
3) Positional information is important in both situation.
These requirements reflect ETSS functions.
1) Visualization of students’ position on the map.
2) Voice & mail communication.
3) Monitoring of students’ trajectories.
ETSS is provided as a smartphone application for the students, and a tablet application for teachers.
In this slide, we summarize the novelty of ETSS;
ETSS is designed for dual use in normal and disaster situations.
1)Evacuation map can be used in case of the wireless network disconnection. As you know, network was down in the quake.
2)Direct communication methods among students and teachers.
3)Storing the moving histories in the server.
Existing rental cellular phone service does not provide moving history.
We measure user acceptance and behavior changes through six filed experiments that 222 student groups joined. Slide 4 show the overview of the experiments. Results of the experiments are 1) GPS tracking is accepted by teachers/students as ensuring safety during the trip, 2) ETSS changed teachers’ behaviors in case of problems during the trip. As for detecting problems, teachers can immediately assist students, 3) teachers viewed GPS tracking as an ensuring safety and cultivating autonomy, 4) students did not mind GPS tracking.
