The effect of spatial learning on the number of astrocytes in rat dentate gyrus

In this study, we evaluated the effect of spatial learning on the number of astrocytes in the rat dentate gyrus with Morris water maze. Fifteen male albino Wistar rats were divided into three groups as control, reference memory and working memory groups. Each group was consisted of 5 rats. After spatial learning, the brains were histologically examined; the slides were stained with phosphotungstic acid hematoxylin (PTAH) staining to show the astrocytes. We found significant difference in the number of astrocytes in dentate gyrus between control and reference memory groups, and between control and working memory groups as well. When compared two learning groups there was a significant difference in the number of astrocytes between them, being higher in the working memory group. We concluded that the number of astrocytes increased due to spatial learning and this increase can be affected to the period of learning. Our studies of spatial learning and effect of learning techniques (reference and working memory) showed that the technique that has longer period of learning has more effect on the number of astrocytes

THE INFLUENCE OF AWARENESS OF LEARNING, FAMILY ENVIRONMENT, SCHOOL FACILITIES AND STUDENT DISCIPLINE TO THE LEARNING ACHIEVMENT OF STUDENT ON THE SUBJECT OF INFORMATION AND COMMUNICATION TECHNOLOGY IN SMA N 2 WATES TEMANGGUNG

This study aims to determine: 1) the influence of awareness of learning to the learning achievment in SMA N 2 Temanggung, 2) the influence of family environment to the learning achievment in SMA N 2 Temanggung, 3) the influence of school facilities to the learning achievment in SMA N 2 Temanggung, 4) the influence of student discipline to the learning achievment in SMA N 2 Temanggung, 5) the influence of awareness of learning, family environment, school facilities and student discipline be shared equally to the learning achievement in SMA N 2 Temanggung. Sample in the study was 128 students in SMA N 2 Temanggung. Data collection techniques used questionnaires and documentation. This study is using descriptive, analysis techniques, linearity, multicolinearity tests, regression and multiple regression analysis. the multiple regressions to determine the influence of independent variables on the dependent variable. The result indicate: 1) there is positive and significant awareness of learning to the learning achievement in SMA N 2 Temanggung, with r2 x1y=0,331 and influence of 25,53% , 2) there is positive and significant family environment to the learning achievement in SMA N 2 Temanggung, with r2 x2y=0,284 and influence of 11,19%, 3) there is positive and significant school facilities to the learning achievement in SMA N 2 Temanggung, with r2 x3y=0,295 and influence of 10,87%, 4) there is positive and significant student discipline to the learning achievement in SMA N 2 Temanggung, with r2 x4y=0,271 and influence of 6,41%, 5) there is positive and significant awareness of learning, family environment, school facilities and student discipline to the learning achievement in SMA N 2 Temanggung, with R2 x1234y=0,54, F=36,148 and influence of 54%. keyword: awareness of learning, family environment, school facilities, student discipline, information and communication technolog

Innovation in Mobile Learning: A European Perspective

In the evolving landscape of mobile learning, European researchers have conducted significant mobile learning projects, representing a distinct perspective on mobile learning research and development. Our paper aims to explore how these projects have arisen, showing the driving forces of European innovation in mobile learning. We propose context as a central construct in mobile learning and examine theories of learning for the mobile world, based on physical, technological, conceptual, social and temporal mobility. We also examine the impacts of mobile learning research on educational practices and the implications for policy. Throughout, we identify lessons learnt from European experiences to date

Factors influencing students' acceptance of m-learning: An investigation in higher education

M-learning will play an increasingly significant role in the development of teaching and learning methods for higher education. However, the successful implementation of m-learning in higher education will be based on users' acceptance of this technology. Thus, the purpose of this paper is to study the factors that affect university students' intentions to accept m-learning. Based on the unified theory of acceptance and use of technology (UTAUT) (Venkatesh et al., 2003), this study proposes a model to identify the factors that influence the acceptance of m-learning in higher education and to investigate if prior experience of mobile devices affects the acceptance of m-learning. A structural equation model was used to analyse the data collected from 174 participants. The results indicate that performance expectancy, effort expectancy, influence of lecturers, quality of service, and personal innovativeness were all significant factors that affect behavioural intention to use m-learning. Prior experience of mobile devices was also found to moderate the effect of these constructs on behavioural intention. The results of this research extend the UTAUT in the context of m-learning acceptance by adding quality of service and personal innovativeness to the structure of UTAUT and provide practitioners and educators with useful guidelines for designing a successful m-learning system
