Bullying02:04

Bullying

8.6K
A modern form of aggression is bullying. As you learn in your study of child development, socializing and playing with other children is beneficial for children’s psychological development. However, as you may have experienced as a child, not all play behavior has positive outcomes. Some children are aggressive and want to play roughly. Other children are selfish and do not want to share toys. One form of negative social interactions among children that has become a national concern is...

Electrical Power01:07

Electrical Power

3.5K
Electric power is the product of current and voltage, represented in units of joules per second, or watts. For example, cars often have one or more auxiliary power outlets with which you can charge a cell phone or other electronic devices. These outlets may be rated at 20 amps and 12 volts, so that the circuit can deliver a maximum power of 240 watts. Consider a 25 Watt bulb and a 60 Watt bulb. The conversion of electrical energy produces heat and light, while the kinetic energy lost by the...

Electrical Energy

1.5K
Using electric appliances for a longer period of time consumes more electrical energy and results in a higher electric bill. The energy produced by the transfer of electrons from one point to another is known as electrical energy. If power is delivered at a constant rate, the electrical energy can be defined as the product of power used by the device for a period of time. The energy unit on electric bills is the kilowatt-hour, where one kilowatt-hour is equivalent to 3.6 × 106 joules.

Transformers

1.5K
A device that transforms voltages from one value to another using induction is called a transformer. A transformer consists of two separate coils, or windings, wrapped around the same soft iron core. However, they are electrically insulated from each other.
The iron core has a substantial relative permeability. Therefore, the magnetic field lines generated due to the current in one winding are almost entirely confined within the core, such that the same magnetic flux permeates each turn of both...

Generating Electromagnetic Radiations

5.8K
The German physicist Heinrich Hertz (1857–1894) was the first to generate and detect certain types of electromagnetic waves in the laboratory. Starting in 1887, he performed a series of experiments that confirmed the existence of electromagnetic waves and verified that they travel at the speed of light. Hertz used an alternating-current RLC (resistor-inductor-capacitor) circuit that resonated at a known frequency and connected it to a loop of wire. High voltages induced across the gap in...

Electric Potential Energy01:20

Electric Potential Energy

6.9K
When an electric field accelerates a free positive charge q, it is given kinetic energy. The process is analogous to an object accelerated by a gravitational field as if the charge were going down an electrical hill where its electric potential energy is converted into kinetic energy. Of course, the sources of the forces are very different. The work done on a charge q by the electric field in this process helps to develop a definition of electric potential energy.
The electrostatic or Coulomb...

Area of Science:

  • Educational Technology
  • Higher Education Pedagogy

Background:

  • Open educational resources (OER) and open textbooks are increasingly recognized for their potential in higher education.
  • A previous review by Hilton (2016) synthesized 16 studies on OER efficacy and student perceptions.
  • Hilton's review suggested OER adoption provides financial benefits to students without negatively affecting learning outcomes.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To respond to and build upon the findings of Hilton's (2016) review on open textbooks.
  • To emphasize the critical role of faculty in the successful implementation and utilization of open textbooks.
  • To explore the potential of open textbooks in empowering digital learning in the 21st century.

Main Methods:

  • Literature synthesis and response to existing research.
  • Application of an integrative model of behavior prediction to understand faculty adoption.
  • Identification of future research directions for effective OER integration.

Main Results:

  • Open textbook adoption demonstrates financial advantages for students.
  • Student learning outcomes are not diminished by the use of open textbooks.
  • Faculty willingness to develop and use open textbooks is crucial for maximizing student benefits.

Conclusions:

  • The adoption of open textbooks presents a viable strategy for cost savings in higher education.
  • Faculty engagement is essential for realizing the full potential of open textbooks in enhancing student performance.
  • Further research is needed to understand how faculty can intentionally and effectively leverage open textbooks to support digital learning environments.
