Summary
This study introduces the Innovative Digital School (IDI school) model to assess digital technology integration in schools. The model effectively identified differences in practices and challenges across schools, highlighting leadership
Area of Science:
- Educational Technology
- School Improvement Research
- Innovation in Education
Background:
- Integrating digital technology in schools requires a structured approach to identify areas for improvement.
- Existing research on school improvement and innovation provides a foundation for understanding digital technology adoption.
- Digital technology in education is viewed as a specific type of innovation, impacting knowledge creation and learning processes.
Purpose of the Study:
- To develop a comprehensive model for improving schools using digital technology.
- To create a framework (Innovative Digital School model) for researching and evaluating schools' digital practices.
- To identify differences, best practices, and challenges in schools' use of digital technology.
Main Methods:
- Development of the Innovative Digital School (IDI school) model, incorporating six key elements: visions, leadership, teaching community practices, pedagogical practices, school-level knowledge practices, and digital resources.
- Application of the IDI school model to investigate three basic education schools.
- Analysis of school-level practices to identify differences and challenges in digital technology integration.
Main Results:
- The IDI school model effectively revealed significant differences between schools regarding their digital technology practices, best practices, and challenges.
- The model was particularly effective in evaluating elements primarily under school leadership's responsibility.
- Differences observed were attributed to school-level practices, not socioeconomic background.
Conclusions:
- The IDI school model serves as a valuable tool for both research and practical self-assessment in schools.
- A holistic approach, considering all elements of the IDI school model, is crucial for effective school improvement with digital technology.
- Focusing on school-level practices is key to successful digital transformation in education.

197
Since the early 2000s, computer-mediated communication (CMC) has grown rapidly, playing a crucial role in self-development. A key distinction between CMC and real-life interactions is the lack of a physically present partner. This absence makes non-verbal cues such as facial expressions, body language, and paralinguistic signals unavailable in CMC platforms like email, instant messaging, or social media. The lack of these cues can create ambiguity and complicate how feedback is interpreted.The...

17.6K
Hybridoma technology is used for the large-scale production of monoclonal antibodies. Monoclonal antibodies bind to only a single antigenic determinant or epitope. Such antibodies are used in research, diagnostics, and disease therapy. The hybridoma technology established in 1975 by Georges Köhler and Cesar Milstein was awarded the Nobel Prize in Medicine in 1984 for revolutionizing research and therapy.

A difference amplifier, a crucial component in numerous electronic devices, ideally amplifies only the difference-mode signal, which is the difference between two input signals. However, in practical circuits, the output voltage depends on both the differential gain and the common-mode gain.
The ratio of differential gain to the common-mode gain is defined as the common-mode rejection ratio (CMRR). This ratio quantifies the ability of operational amplifiers (op-amps) to reject common-mode...

Theories play an essential role in organizing patient care. Theories refer to a proposed or followed belief, policy, or procedure that is the basis for action. Nursing theories are knowledge-based concepts that guide nurses' actions, influence nursing education and practice, and allow nurses to care for their patients.
Theories provide a perspective to assess patients' conditions and organize data and methods. They also assist in analyzing and interpreting information. They represent a...

01:28Equivalent Circuits for Practical Transformers
1.4K
The practical equivalent circuits of single-phase two-winding transformers exhibit significant deviations from their idealized versions due to the inherent properties of winding resistance and finite core permeability. These properties result in real and reactive power losses, affecting the transformer's performance. Understanding these deviations is crucial for designing more efficient transformers.
In a practical transformer, each winding exhibits resistance and leakage reactance. The...
