Factor Analysis of the Effects of the Introduction of English Supplementary Education to Future Classrooms

This paper explores trends in the development of technological applications in education, attempts to identify key decision-making factors related to the transition from traditional classrooms to future classrooms, and seeks to determine and analyze the relationships between structural factors and their importance. This study investigates the future evolution of education and predicts possible pathways and strategic proposals related to educational evolution by observing previous modes of operation within traditional education and traditional education models, investigating operational and structural modes within the current educational environment, and studying solutions to current problems and the accomplishment of educational reforms. Using a service design workshop, we explore key factors affecting English education in the classrooms of the future, conducting analysis by addressing the interaction between operations management, flipped education, and modes of learning. This study investigates key factors related to the introduction of supplementary English education into future classrooms, in addition to providing valuable considerations and viewpoints related to the development of future classrooms. This study focuses on investments in the educational environment of future classrooms and brings educational resources into play to increase educational efficacy. The ability of supplementary education to quickly evolve away from traditional teaching styles is fostered by allowing for the continued operational development of Taiwan’s supplementary education institutions. We hope that future technology and artificial intelligence will optimize learning environments and enable the establishment of a new paradigm in education.


Introduction
Educational projects are long-term, sustained, and forward-thinking processes.
Education is offered for the development of all learners, in addition to representing the heritage of societies and cultures.Applications of digital learning and mobile technology in future educational systems are popular topics in international discussions, with many countries actively promoting a variety of digital learning and mobile education projects, in addition to establishing future smartteaching environments.A discussion of future learning is helpful to nurturing a new generation of talent and promoting overall competitiveness.The application of technology in teaching is a new trend in education development.This study explores the application of technology and trends in educational development, attempts to identify the key decision-making factors related to the transition from traditional classrooms to future classrooms, and analyzes the relationships among and the importance of the main structural factors.
As shown in Table 1, there were 18,649 cram schools in Taiwan as of April 4, 2016.There were 18,499 cram schools in 2015, compared to 11,474 in 2007, representing an increase of 7025 schools, or a growth of 61.23%.According to data covering 2013 to 2015, 4552 new cram schools were established during this period.During the most recent three years, there was a net addition of 2155 schools, although 2397 closures occurred in this period.The current scale of cram schools is thus approaching saturation and entering a stage of high competition and frequent closures.Of the total, 11,011 schools (59%) were for language studies and related disciplines, while 4676 schools (25%) were for foreign language studies; combined, these account for 15,687 schools (84%).These statistics indicate that language studies remain the key focus of cram school operations.
English studies constitute the core language studies program, followed by Japanese studies.
The definition of "supplementary learning" implies the study of specific fields.
Supplementary learning is generally used to strengthen students' competence in particular subjects relatively quickly, although cram schools are non-formal.
Supplementary education is also referred to as "shadow education."Scholars believe that extracurricular supplementary education occurs only alongside mainstream education and that its scale and form change along with changes in mainstream education [1].In virtually all societies, supplementary education receives less attention than mainstream education, and its nature is far less clear and identifiable.The mainstream education subjects that are best able to improve enrolment rates and employment opportunities, such as languages, ma- Supplementary education faces the following challenges: 1) Modern modes of learning: In an era of information overload, the questions of how to increase knowledge quality, study well, study correctly, and study effectively have become significant.In line with modern "fast-food" culture, educational culture, and educational modes, the questions of how to improve real learning and provide richer educational content will pose significant tests for the future of education.
2) The market mechanism of perfect competition: According to Taiwanese national education statistics, new players continue to enter the supplementary education market.However, applicant revocations continue to rise, showing that the market is exhibiting saturation and is entering a state of perfect competition.
3) Responding to the shock of a shrinking population: Due to Taiwan's declining birthrate and the resulting shrinkage of the student population, operational restructuring is underway in Taiwan's school system, with some schools beginning to offer various skill-related and after-school services, thus shocking the supplementary education market.

Future Classrooms and Blended Learning
The "future classroom" notion refers to the use of a variety of hardware, software and information technology equipment to revitalize the efficacy of teaching and enable the automatic formation of curriculum content in technological teaching environments.When future classrooms combine internet communications with system platforms, they will be better able to achieve the digital learning goals of "teach once and apply often" and "teach onsite and share remotely," the new teaching framework sought by teachers, students, and management units [4].The primary purpose and core concept of the future classroom is to enhance students' learning motivation and efficiency through an interactive environment and varied teaching content, as well as to enhance teaching and classroom management so that teachers can adjust teaching progress and content at any time, thus allowing for the optimization of teaching and learning results.A program combining equipment with system hardware and software will help future schools find the optimal methods of facing issues related to "smart" learning environments.Education solutions can provide end-to-end hardware/software products and services.In addition to enhancing interactive learning, collaboration, and learning efficacy, these solutions can also assist teachers with classroom management.The primary and secondary schools of the future are expected to gradually deploy future classroom platforms, which will help Using 21 st century technology and blended learning environments to improve learning efficiency have been shown to provide high-quality education [5].
Blended learning, or hybrid learning, uses the convenience of the internet to assist learning, allowing for the study environment of real classrooms to run parallel with dual-track virtual online learning.Combining the strengths of internet technologies with those of face-to-face class attendance in a dual-track learning method strengthens learners' overall learning engagement and learning outcomes.This is achieved through interaction with classmates and teachers, extending learning opportunities, and improving learning outcomes.Blended learning has many definitions in the domestic and international literature; these can be summarized as follows: 1) user learning content from blends of different systems and operational processes; 2) blending different educational methods; and 3) blending different forms of educational technology in future classrooms, such as remote video instruction and mobile study, or interactive instruction [6].
Studies have shown that the learning outcomes and interest in learning of students who use blended learning increase significantly [7].Academy.This aided in the establishment of a service design network and expanded service design's application to the fields of product design and digital technology [11].Service design's key difference from traditional design is that it is a product-focused way of thinking.As service design emphasizes product design, it requires the use of visualization tools to derive user environment experience analysis results.The concept also proposes solutions for product service systems and blueprints for implementation [10] [12] [13].Service design is a user-oriented concept, and its application to the topic of supplementary English education within future classrooms is based on the creation of varied, interesting, easily utilized, and high-efficiency future learning spaces [14].Through service design, users are introduced to innovative, situational experience-oriented, interdisciplinary design methods [13].This mode of design thinking has been used by educational experts with various perspectives to analyze, observe, and confirm the promotion of many different applications within future education.

Service Design
In this study, we focus on design thinking, using d.School's interdisciplinary integrated innovative design application model and methods as a blueprint [15].
We also engage with educators at a service design workshop, applying design thinking to explore and develop topics related to key factors in future classrooms.This is accomplished by collecting and analyzing scientific information, as well as by validating and evaluating the proposed innovation model in order to promote educational value and develop innovative modes of operation.
The application and operation model of design thinking used in this study is

Research Method
The purpose of the decision-making trial and analysis method is to collect expert opinions from the Decision Making Trial and Evaluation Laboratory (DEMATEL).Principles related to matrices are used to grasp causal relationships within complex systems, to make optimized decisions, and to improve analysis and research methods for complex systems [16].Because of the complexity of the impact of educational topics, we borrow from the DEMATEL approach to explore key factors in educational decision making related to the introduction of future classrooms, in addition to assessing the causal relationships between and relative importance of these factors.Furthermore, because of the complex relationships among the influencing factors in future classroom establishment and introduction, this study uses DEMATEL to identify these relationships using a cause-and-effect diagram.This diagram enables us to clearly determine the relative importance of the selection dimensions, identify their causal relationships, and help improve sustained school management.
This study collected data using questionnaires.The questionnaire content was designed with reference to our literature review and service design research  2.

Sampling
This study invited education experts to respond to questionnaires addressing topics related to future classrooms.Educational experts must meet the following qualification that is to have the practical experience in the field of educational industry.The sampling was used by taking a random sampling method to invite the experts to participate in this study.These experts included managers from the education and cram school industries, English education experts (both Taiwanese and language teachers from other countries), and individuals working in administrative education management.The results of these questionnaires were statistically analyzed by gender, nationality, age, education level, years of work experience, and profession.The results were then arranged and explained in a table.

Empirical Result and Analysis
The questionnaire was planned and executed as an expert questionnaire, in which experts were invited as subjects with practical experience in education.These experts included managers, education experts, English language teachers, and administrative managers.This information is summarized in Table 3.

Cause-and-Effect Diagram Analysis
The 12-dimensional cause-and-effect diagram in Figure 4 shows the complex causal relationships among dimensional factors.The five dimensions of "A02: Technology Investment," "A06: Innovative Teaching," "A09: Learning Environment," "A10: Learning Motivation," and "A12: Learning Outcomes" are located  tive degree of causality (D − R) indicates affected dimensions.The benefits derived from decisions made on the basis of these dimensions will be smaller due to the lack of room for improvement.Given their degrees of causality (D − R), the following seven dimensions are causal: "A01: Maintenance and Operation Mode," "A02: Technology Investment," "A05: Educational Trend," "A07: Independent Study," "A08: Functional Improvement," "A11: Willingness to Use," and "A12: Learning Outcomes."Based on correlation (D + R) and degree of causality (D − R), the optimal decision-making factors are "A2: Technology Investment" and "A12: Learning Outcomes."

Correlation Analysis
In our analytical study of the influencing factors related to the introduction of supplementary English education to future classrooms, items A06, A12, and A10 (shown in the thick-lined boxes in Figure 5) are ranked as the top three items (see Table 4) because of their levels of correlation (D + R).Thus, "A06: Innovative Teaching," "A12: Learning Outcomes," and "A10: Learning Motivation" are the most important decision-making assessment factors.Additionally, we see from the relationship diagram (Table 5) that "A03: Market Competition," "A05: Education Trends," and "A01: Mode of Operation and Maintenance" rank as the bottom three items due to their levels of correlation (D + R).Thus, these three Relationship lines for correlation between 0.15447-0.17 Relationship lines for correlation greater than 0.17  items have lower impacts than the other factors, meaning that it is necessary to derive solutions from individual problems or other factors.The average value of the total matrix, 0.15447, is used as our standard value; wherever this standard value is surpassed, relationship lines can be drawn.We also establish a higher standard value of 0.17, allowing us to make further distinctions between dashed lines (indicating standard relationships) and solid lines (stronger relationships).
We have used this method to draw Figure 5, in which the arrows of the line segments are determined according to the degrees of causality (D − R) in Table 5: if the degree (D − R) is greater than 0, the item is a causal item (i.e., a cause in the cause-and-effect relationship); if it is negative, the item is a resultant item (i.e., an effect in the cause-and-effect relationship).We use arrows to express the cause-and-effect relationship: if both items connected by a line are causal dimensions, the line segment has arrowheads at each end; if both items connected by a line segment are resultant items, the line segment appears as a simple line segment.

Discussion and Conclusions
The results of our study show that "technology investment" and "learning outcomes" are the most important decision-making factors related to the introduction of supplementary English education to future classrooms.Our observation of the education industry leads us to the same conclusion.In responding to future forms and modes of learning, technology investment is crucial to keeping pace with changing times.Because technological innovation generates innovation in teaching methods, the utilization of new technology for teaching produces significant improvements in learning outcomes and efficacy [17].Improvements in and the wider application of information technology within learning environments promote technology investment in future classrooms, thus allowing various opportunities for interactive learning experiences as well as improvements in learners' cognitive abilities with regard to educational content, learning interest, and efficacy [18].Core issues related to English learning include teacher capability, knowledge, and literacy in the use of technology; situational design and operation; and the application of in-class technology system resources [19].Future classrooms make use of investments in technology and the revitalization of teaching outcomes, and can automatically create technological teaching environments around curriculum materials.After combining internet communication with system platforms, future classrooms will be better able to achieve the digital learning goals of "teach once and apply often" and "teach on site and share remotely," the new teaching framework sought by teachers, students, and management units [4].The use of technology in language teaching can provide learners with varied interactive communication environments and pathways, reduce the stress of language learning, improve language learning motivation and self-confidence, and increase students' willingness to learn [20].
Much of the education literature indicates that an increasing number of C.-L. Hsu et al.
learners support the efficacy of technology use in language education, as the use of technology broadens the boundaries of learning in both space and time [21].
The age of the learner is also a key factor in the effectiveness of language learning.Many parents worry that their children may lose out on early education.
While early learning does provide benefits, it is not worth parental anxiety.Rather, learners should be provided with opportunities to develop their skills at a reasonable pace and a chance to become self-motivated, so that learning can be carried out without interruption and that effective English learning outcomes can be achieved [22].This is especially true for childhood education in Taiwan.

photography technology, integrated digital photography, and remote video capabilities provides students with interdisciplinary learning spaces; and 3) the use of internet broadcasting technology enables highly interactive teaching and the implementation of cooperative exploration, in addition to a networked community learning environment.Entering a future classroom is a novel experience, and the environment attracts students' interest.The interactive teaching materials, self-operation, animated effects, specific presentation of materials, and interactions among classmates instill deeper memories and further the goal of improving students' learning efficacy and attitudes.Furthermore, the use of information technology equipment is an extra bonus when studying in future classrooms and is believed to allow students and teachers to improve their ability to incorporate information technology into teaching and learning.Xiao Fusheng, principal of Nanhu Elementary School, stated that the keys to open mobile learning are the following.1) When offered differentiated and supplementary education through mobile learning, students are able to learn at different rates according to personal factors.2) Following the "flipped classroom" concept, mobile learning education differs from traditional education in that the teaching method varies from student to student.3) Establishing specialized groups for mobile learning, using communication and sharing observations regarding the implementation and development of new learning modes helps expand the digital book bag implementation process.4) Finally, participation in experimental research and engaging in discussions on and the implementation of mobile learning projects allow the verification of learning outcomes through scientific methods.

framework.It was used to analyze and assess the influencing factors of the introduction of supplementary English education to future classrooms.Drawing on the experience of experts, the questionnaire reveals the respondents' attitudes to the key factors related to the feasibility of supplementary education in future classrooms; it also performs a quantitative analysis of dimensional factors and uses the DEMATEL method to analyze the causal relationships among the decision-making assessment factors.The questionnaire explores the key educational decision-making factors related to the introduction of future classrooms and thus serves as an effective and valuable reference.The definitions of the dimensional variable factors in this study are shown in Table

time-constrained conditions, testing the efficacy of "teaching and learning" in the education service industry is even more important.Players in the education industry often use parent and student satisfaction as a measure of teaching efficacy; supplementary education places even greater importance on this index.Parental willingness to spend on additional education clearly implies a measurement index for their expectations and evaluations of education.Standard course selections are generally guided by education policy, while learning outcomes in supplementary education are reflected relatively directly.The most direct measurement of learning outcomes is the use of test performance results, in addition to performance with regard to class content, learning efficiency, and evaluation results.In a highly competitive market, learning outcomes are relatively direct.Addressing the value of knowledge transfer and the question of how to demonstrate its immediate effects and whether it can trigger related learning motivations are important tasks for the education industry.Due to the impacts of the rapidly developing linkages among technological development, the internet, and search engines, traditional education and modes of learning are facing unprecedented changes.The memorization required by students of the future will be assisted by search tools used to rapidly retrieve information, but it is still necessary to nurture the abilities to think, critique, distinguish, and analyze.Furthermore, teachers will not be able to adhere to traditional forms of classroom instruction, rely solely on machinery to engage in curriculum-based teaching, or teach according to standardized test score assessments.Investments in technology and the use of new technology will help teachers to merge "physical" with "virtual" education, reduce the learning gap, and improve overall learning outcomes.Future studies should continue to focus on topics related to trends in educational development and learning environments in order to increase the efficiency of education investments.Furthermore, Taiwan's experience in innovating supplementary education operation modes and feedback mechanisms to promote mainstream education should lead to improvements in the smart application of technology in future learning environments.The definition of "future classroom" varies based on individual interpretations.It is challenging to face existing education traditions, where clear variation is generated as a result of experts' evaluations of education or individual backgrounds and experiences.The form of the future classroom is in the development phase, and C.-L. Hsu et al.there is wide variation in the possible forms that it can take.The integration and acceptance of technology resources is an ongoing process, and levels of technology acceptance and use in teaching vary widely.The key factors in this variation are worthy of further research and in-depth discussion.Furthermore, developing education modes are causing expectations and speculation.The development of globalized education trends are influencing the promotion of educational directives, which vary greatly according to differing parental views on education.It is especially difficult to achieve consistent educational standards between cities and rural areas, which have differing education resources and environments.The optimal means of resolving these issues involves encouraging educational openness and providing a variety of learning channels and modes.Among these, supplementary education is an innovative industry deserving of further expansion.Greater resources should be invested in the development of supplementary education; the optimization of studies external to the system will then spur on the mainstream education system, in addition to making it possible to share education resources and experiences.Future classrooms are centered on learners and provide an interactive learning environment capable of addressing individual differences among them.The development of future classrooms will become necessary.Application modes for future classrooms will cross disciplinary boundaries, and resources should be suitably allocated to service design for modes of remote instruction, thereby bringing technology utilization to bear within the education industry.This may also create additional educational opportunities and allow for greater convenience in language learning.
