We describe sociodynamic aspects as an agent-based model, where agents (learners) compare and adjust their conceptions of their own proficiency (self-proficiency) and that of their peers (peer-proficiency) in using explanatory schemes of different levels.
Conventional business models are all directed towards the maximization of revenue and economic profits, which in turn steer the firm to emphasize on improving self-proficiency to be more resourceful in fitting the market's demands.
Preliminary analysis identified an improvement in midwives' perceptions of self-proficiency with regard to CAM particularly with regards to perceived knowledge of CAM (+1.44, p=<0.0001) and ability to answer general questions about safety (+1.45, p=<0.0001) and effectiveness (+1.40, p=<0.0001) of CAM in pregnancy.
Anxiety and self perceived proficiency were stable across all majors and universities, showing no statistically significant differences.
Correlation analysis was completed on the data to show the relationship between the students' motivation, anxiety, intended effort, and their self perceived proficiency (See Table 3).
While intended effort was designed as a measure of overall motivation as students view it, our results suggest that while it is closely related to the different types of motivation felt by students, it is not as effective for explaining anxiety and self perceived proficiency as the L2 motivational self system is.
Self reported proficiency was most improved in administering dental local anaesthesia for managing dental presentations at six month follow up.
A model for a single multimodal educational intervention in management of dental emergencies that demonstrates a significant increase in the use of dental local anaesthesia by emergency care clinicians and improved self reported proficiency is presented.
Then the TOPIK total score, self-perceived Korean proficiency, self-perceived English proficiency, the length of previous Korean study, and the length of previous English study were added using stepwise regression.
Although some had learned other languages (N = 9), none rated themselves as very proficient in any foreign language (overall self-rated proficiency in other languages = 2.3).
Most spoke other languages (N = 11), including Spanish, French, German, and Malay, and some (N = 4) considered themselves more proficient in their other languages than in Chinese (overall self-rated proficiency in other languages: 6.3, on a 10-point scale).
