Title: Determinants of School Efficiencies from Innovative Teaching through Digital Mobile E-Learning for High Schools: Application of Bootstrap Truncated Regression Model

Abstract

Article HistoryThe goal of this research is to evaluate the innovative teaching to affect school efficiency through using digital mobile e-learning of high school in Taiwan. Based on data envelopment analysis (DEA) and bootstrap truncated regression (BTR) model. The empirical results of this research indicate the following results: (1) Importing digital mobile e-learning can really enhance the efficiency of school management. (2) The results suggested in BTR model justifies that among the eight-factor analyses, six factors were overestimated and the factors with total equipment expenses and teacherstudent ratio were under estimated by Tobit regression model (TRM). Also, the results for the effects of school location and school attribute on school's operational efficiency were non-significant in TRM. In comparison, the estimated effects of school location and school attribute on school's operational efficiency by BTR in this study are significant. Therefore, the factors studied here may be important in explaining the determinants of school efficiencies from innovative teaching through digital mobile eLearning. To increase students learning effectiveness in school, it is necessary to first add school size, Tablet PC numbers, and technical teachers. However, the result shows total equipment expenses associated with tablet PC have a small negative influence on school management efficiency. On the other hand, the results show that the effect of school location, school attribute and school high-vocational attribute on school's operational efficiency have significant. Mainly, the degree of school's operational efficiency also needs to be taken into account their school attributes such as equipment, teaching quality, management decisions and etc. by digital mobile e-learning. Contribution/ Originality:This study is one of very few studies which have investigated to evaluate the innovative teaching to affect school efficiency through using digital mobile e-learning of high school in Taiwan. It has also revealed that the degree of school's operational efficiency also needs to be taken into account their school attributes such as equipment, teaching quality, management decisions and etc. by digital mobile e-learning, can really enhance the efficiency of school management.

Review of the Critical Factors for Success of Mobile Learning for High School in Taiwan

“…In the paper of Liu et al [13] indicated that uses the digital mobile e-learning can affect the school efficiency and the innovative of teaching in in Taiwan's high school. Their research used Tobit Regression Model (TRM) to find the determinants for affecting the efficiency of school management.…”

“…Therefore, this study employed quantitative results to analysis study approach to gain an in-depth and holistic understanding of digital mobile e-learning. Moreover, we also utilize the analysis results from two articles [13], [14] to analyze these factors which affecting the relative efficiencies of schools by utilizing related factors.…”

“…The ages were 8.4% ( 27) for those under 35 years old, 30.3% (98) for 45 years old, and 61.3% (198) for those over 46 years old. The highest level of educational attainment was 61.3% (198) for graduate students and higher, followed by university graduates at 30.3% (98) (Litimi, 2019); (Liu and Kuo, 2017).…”
