Instructional Outcomes Change With S/T/S

Instructional influences on analogue functional analysis outcomes.

Analogue assessments were conducted with a common contingency (escape from tasks) that varied only by three different instructions describing the contingency. In one condition, the contingency was described as "taking a break," in another condition it was described as "time-out," and no description of the contingency was provided in a third condition. The participant was a typically developing ...

Learning and Transfer : Instructional Conditions and Conceptual Change

It is widely assumed that instruction plays a role in learning and in transfer. The present studies examine how type of instruction (containing principle-based vs. procedure-based information) influences learning and transfer in a mathematical concept. In the first study, both types of instruction led a comparable number of children to learn, but principle-based instruction led significantly mo...

Pedagogical practices and instructional change of physics faculty

We report on the initial results of a web-based survey of 722 physics faculty in the United States regarding their instructional practices. The survey responses indicate that most faculty report knowing about many physics education research curricula and pedagogies and are interested and motivated to try them in their teaching. However, self-reports of actual classroom practices indicate that t...

Security Requirements Engineering with STS-Tool

In this chapter, we present STS-Tool, the modelling and analysis support tool for STS-ml, an actorand goal-oriented security requirements modelling language for socio-technical systems. STS-Tool is a standalone application written in Java and based on the Eclipse RCP Framework. It supports modelling a socio-technical system in terms of high-level primitives such as actor, goal delegation, and d...
