Making the Abstract Concrete 1 Running Head: Visualizing Mathematical Solution Procedures Making the Abstract Concrete: Visualizing Mathematical Solution Procedures
This article reports on an experiment investigating the effects of different kinds of computerbased visualizations on the acquisition of problem-solving skills in the domain of probability theory. Learners received either purely text-based worked examples, text plus an instruction to mentally imagine the examples’ contents, or the possibility of retrieving either static pictures or concrete ani...

متن کاملConcrete Not Abstract
nouns are those nouns which do not have a concrete referent. Table, horse, university are concrete nouns; joy, death, hegemony etc are abstract terms. There is nothing wrong with abstract nouns, but because they can have many different meanings to different people (what, for instance, springs into your mind when you think of joy?), they need to be described with concrete details. Use short sent...
متن کاملVisualizing abstract events
Because of the complexity of distributed applications, understanding their behaviour is a challenging task. The top-down use of suitable abstraction hierarchies is frequently proposed to manage this complexity. One commonly used abstraction is to group primitive events into abstract events. This paper presents a graphical representation for convex abstract events. This representation can easily...
متن کاملMaking norms concrete
In systems based on organisational specifications a reoccurring problem remains to be solved in the disparity between the level of abstractness of the organisational concepts and the concepts used in the implementation. Organisational specifications (deliberately) abstract from general practice, which creates a need to relate the abstract concepts used in the specification to concrete ones used...
