Abstract: The paper has put forward an idea about the teaching reform of probability and statistics for financial mathematics. We have paid attention to the theory contact with practice. By constructing the teaching reform, particularly, paying more attentions to mathematical experiment, cultivating the stochastic thinking mode, improving the single teaching method, we present a new teaching curriculum reform and seek new teaching modes. With teaching reform and practice, students comprehensive quality can be improved and better teaching results can be gained.

Abstract: The CDIO (Conceive, Design, Implement and Operate) engineering education model emphasizes on learning from practices, it is a central manifestation of the principle of learning by hands on. Paper exemplify by embedded system course, focusing on 12 Basic principles of CDIO teaching mode, it states in details that from Curriculum system construction, teaching methods to teacher training etc. about reform methods. This means it is very helpful to other majors of engineering course.

Abstract: The problems in “Modern Educational Technology” Course Teaching mainly include: repeatedly preparing lessons, different emphasis by different professional background‘s teachers, the content behind the practical application, old teaching methods. To maximize the integration and sharing of the "modern education technology" course teaching’s resources from teachers, teaching materials, students and learning processes, promote the teachers’ development, and improve the course teaching‘s efficiency, the paper introduced the teaching resource database to the course teaching. Besides, the paper analyzed and discussed the significance and function demand of the teaching resource database’s construction. The results show that course teaching based on the teaching resource database can solve the problems above and improve the course teaching‘s efficiency.

Abstract: This article suggests a modular approach to the organization of the process of teaching physics to students of engineering specialties. The definition of the module (Gnitetskaya, T.N., 2004) is given. The article describes in detail the modular technology education, as well as the psychological grounds for the modular technology education.

Abstract: [Abstract] In the past decades, the research on the double-professional teachers quality and the students employment competence still stayed in the primary level of the definition ability and quality requirementsprinciples of cultivating stratege and management mechanism. Most of them just stood on one side not between the two; via statistical method not metering method; focusing on the theoretical research and neglecting the empirical research. In order to find out the significant difference and realize the objectives, we use both metering method and sempirical analysis--a breakthrough of nomal system to study on the influencing factors and action mechanism about them.

Abstract: nformation Technology has changed the teaching technique, so teachers should think about how to use it to change the way of teaching and improve the teaching effect. This paper studies and analyzes the types of E-teaching model and its flexible application in English teaching. E-teaching model will bring many significant changes to foreign language learning.

Abstract: The military operations in information age emerged new characteristics, and the traditional simulative training ways couldnt meet the requirements of information age anymore, so the new simulative training ways need to be researched. Therefore, the paper proposed a three fields view of operation simulative training suitable for information age at first, which established the research framework for now and future. Secondly, the paper designed the simulative training system, including the HLA-based architecture and running mode, it resolved the implement issue of system. Thirdly, the paper proposed the network-in-the-loop idea, and resolved the network simulating by OPNET EMA technique. Network simulating is the critical part for information field simulating. Lastly, with IP filter hook technique and etc, the paper proposed a new C2 training way based on object-in-the-loop, the new way overcame the shortages in traditional C2 training ways effectively. The papers work has been applied successfully in the Tactical Internet simulative training system.

Abstract: This study is a review on literatures gleaned from science citation index expanded (SCI-EXPANED) and Social Sciences Citation Index (SSCI) database on web of science, concerning research in E-Learning 2.0. The result indicates that the number of citation literature on this topic mainly distributes in recently 7 years, reaching climax of 9 in 2011. The main research territory is Taiwan, followed by England, Spain, and USA. And from the analysis of research area, research on educational purpose accounts for 50%. Accordingly the percentage of source title as computers education is 16.667%. Overall, the related research topics can be classified into system design and management for E-Learning 2.0.

Abstract: The purpose of this study is aims to develop an inventory assessing self-determined motivation for e-Learning courses in college. The study involves 397 college students, with exploratory factor analysis and Cronbach alpha scale reliability, and the validity of the test. Self-determined learning motivation scale is accordance with the Learning Self-Regulation Questionnaire (SRQ-L) by Williams & Deci (1996) and Black & Deci (2000). It compiled and revised the initial inventory consisted of 14 items, it divided into four dimensions, such as, "Intrinsic motivation", " Identified regulation", Introjected Regulation ", and "External regulation", the total explained variance was 71.35%. The Cronbach alpha is .87, with acceptable construct validity and reliability of measurement tools, it can provide the future development of e-Learning courses.

Abstract: The purpose of this study is to test the moderating effect of usage experience on antecedents and consequences to teachers’ intention of using mobile devices on e-learning context in primary and secondary schools. A survey (n=389) on teachers of elementary schools and junior high schools in Taiwan was conducted. According to the data, the simplified technology acceptance model (TAM), together with the proposed external and internal factors, performs well in determining teachers’ intention of technology acceptance under the given context. Our data also shows different relationships among antecedents, perceptions, and behavior intentions for teachers with more usage experience and those with less usage experience.
