“…Table 11 and students' responses revealed that students' understanding was assisted and improved through graphic organizers by simplifying the concepts discussed, providing connections and links between and among scientific concepts, and highlighting and summarizing important concepts necessary for better and deep understanding of the topics. This, in fact, is supported by the study of Ayverdi, Nakiboglu & Oz Aydin [3], to which they concluded that students were able to comprehend and understand concepts with the aid of graphic organizers. In their study, they asserted that the former became possible because concepts were being simplified by graphic organizers through establishing relationships between and among essential concepts of a broad topic.…”

The study investigated the effect of graphic organizers on students' levels of conceptual understanding, and the effect of students' cognitive level on conceptual understanding. The control group (n=40) received a conventional classroom instruction while the experimental group (n=38) received an innovative classroom instruction, using graphic organizers. A mixed-method research design was employed. Pre-test, post-test, and Lawson's Classroom Test of Scientific Reasoning were utilized to compare quantitative results within and between groups. Qualitative data were gathered using structured interview schedule to further corroborate the quantitative findings. In comparison, results show that the experimental group significantly outperformed control group based on post-test results: remembering (p=0.001), analysis (p=0.001) and thinking beyond (p=0.013), except for application (p=0.906) which is not statistically significant. Furthermore, the correlation results show that, overall, there are no strong and significant correlations between students' concrete operational and transitional cognitive levels, and levels of conceptual understanding in both pre-test and post-test results for control and experimental groups. Since students' cognitive levels have no significant effect in enhancing students' conceptual understanding, therefore, the outperformance of the experimental group was due to the use of graphic organizers integrated in lesson packages.

“…In contrast, the use of graphic organizers in science education research is limited. Ayverdi et al (2014) suggested that graphic organizer techniques such as semantic future analysis, pyramid, flow diagram, comparison contrast matrix, spider web, mind map, etc. can be applied in science and technology classes.…”

The purposes of the study were to investigate the effectiveness of the 5E inquiry-based technique integrated with graphic organizers on grade 7 students’ science learning achievement and to investigate the effectiveness of the 5E inquiry-based technique integrated with graphic organizers on grade 7 students’ science analytical thinking. 36 Thai 7th-graders were selected as the participants of the study using purposive random sampling. The instruments were a learning management plan designed using the 5E learning technique integrated with graphic organizers, a pre-post-test for students’ learning achievement of Heat and Energy, and a pre-post-test for students’ analytical thinking. The statistics used in data analysis were mean scores, standard deviation, and a paired samples t-test. The results of the study could imply positive effects of the integration of the 5E inquiry-based technique and graphic organizers on both students’ qualities.

“…The common challenges to e-government success in India include citizens' aspects such as low literacy and IT literacy, lack of awareness, low levels of trust for the government as well as for the egovernment portals, local language preference and poverty, and issues on supply side, viz. issues pertaining to the user-friendliness of websites, their reliability, interoperability and other accessibility issues (Bhatnagar & Singh, 2010;Dwivedi & Bharti, 2010;Dwivedi et al, 2013;Mittal & Kaur, 2013;Narasimhan et al, 2012;Ojha & Pandey, 2017). According to Cisco's 2017 Visual Networking Index report, India's smartphone users will increase from 400 million in 2017 to more than 800 million in 2022, which would make it the fastest-growing smartphone market in the world.…”

“…Their evaluation framework focuses on state-government websites, whereas urban citizens usually require Urban Local Body (ULB) or municipal websites. Narasimhan et al (2012) measure the accessibility of some 7,800 government websites in India but only based on the World Wide Web Consortium (W3C) 'accessibility' guidelines. Usability of municipal websites in India has been done by Mahajan (2012) for Pimpri Chinchwad Municipal Corporation (PCMC).…”

Developments in the Information and Communication Technology (ICT) field have brought a significant change in the way citizens can interact with their governments. Traditional governance has been digitalised to what we now know as ‘e-governance’. E-government investments in India had seen a ‘ten-fold increase’ in 2015 with the launch of the Digital India Mission as compared to previous years. Despite this, in 2018, an e-government survey by the United Nations, India’s E-government Development Index (EGDI) was 0.5669, just above the world average of 0.55. As digital literacy is becoming increasingly common in India, along with falling data prices, increasing smartphone and mobile usage, the spotlight of e-government should focus on the usability and quality of its services and platforms. This article measures the usability of the Municipal or Urban Local Body (ULB) websites and the service quality of its e-services. Separate evaluation frameworks are used to measure the usability of the municipal e-government websites of four Indian cities as well as the service quality of the four most commonly used citizen services, viz. complaint registration, payment of property tax, payment of professional taxes and birth/death registration. For this, a thorough study of existent literature on the subject, comprehensive study of the selected websites and discussions with domain experts have been conducted by the authors. The article also discusses some qualitative issues on the usability of these websites and services that were observed during the evaluation process.
