Theory in Teaching Effectiveness

The role of project-based learning with activity theory in teaching effectiveness: Evidence from the internet of things course



Higher education is beginning to focus on how to effectively cultivate IoT engineers who possess both hard skills and soft skills. Therefore, from the perspective of activity theory and combining it with project-based learning, this study constructed a project-based learning framework based on activity theory and applied this framework to an IoT course at a university in central China. The first half of the course adopted a traditional lecture-based teaching method, while the second half of the course was carried out based on the proposed framework, thus constituting a control group and an experimental group.

To further explore the effectiveness of the proposed framework on IoT courses, the data of this study consisted of two aspects: on the one hand, questionnaires on students’ learning engagement and satisfaction with the IoT course were collected; on the other hand, with the help of an intelligent teaching analytics platform, the effectiveness of the proposed framework in optimizing the classroom structure was objectively analyzed from three dimensions of teaching mode, classroom atmosphere, and teacher-student intimacy. The experimental results showed that compared with traditional teaching, teaching based on the proposed framework can significantly improve students’ learning engagement and satisfaction.

Specifically, the increase in emotional engagement was the highest at 43.07%, followed by a 26.42% increase in behavioral engagement and a 35.15% increase in cognitive engagement. Meanwhile, it also optimizes the classroom structure to a certain extent. The teaching mode has shifted from lecture-based to hybrid, the classroom atmosphere is more harmonious and equal, and the teacher-student intimacy is increasing.

Detecting Co-Resident Attacks in 5G Clouds! Detecting co-resident attacks in 5G clouds involves identifying malicious activities where attackers share physical cloud resources with victims to steal data or disrupt services. Techniques like machine learning, behavioral analysis, and resource monitoring help detect unusual patterns, ensuring stronger security and privacy in 5G cloud environments. Detecting Co-Resident Attacks in 5G Clouds In a 5G cloud environment, many different users (including businesses and individuals) share the same physical infrastructure through virtualization technologies like Virtual Machines (VMs) and containers. Co-resident attacks occur when a malicious user manages to place their VM or container on the same physical server as a target. Once co-residency is achieved, attackers can exploit shared resources like CPU caches, memory buses, or network interfaces to gather sensitive information or launch denial-of-service (DoS) attacks. Why are Co-Resident Attack...

 How Network Polarization Shapes Our Politics! Network polarization amplifies political divisions by clustering like-minded individuals into echo chambers, where opposing views are rarely encountered. This reinforces biases, reduces dialogue, and deepens ideological rifts. Social media algorithms further intensify this divide, shaping public opinion and influencing political behavior in increasingly polarized and fragmented societies. Network polarization refers to the phenomenon where social networks—both offline and online—become ideologically homogenous, clustering individuals with similar political beliefs together. This segregation leads to the formation of echo chambers , where people are primarily exposed to information that reinforces their existing views and are shielded from opposing perspectives. In political contexts, such polarization has profound consequences: Reinforcement of Biases : When individuals only interact with like-minded peers, their existing beliefs bec...
