Putting concepts into context.
At first glance, conceptual representations (e.g., our internal notion of the object "lemon") seem static; we have the impression that there is something that the concept lemon "means" (a sour, yellow, football-shaped citrus fruit) and that this meaning does not vary. Research in semantic memory has traditionally taken this "static" perspective. Consequently, only effects demonstrated across a ...
متن کاملPutting Cells into Context
CELLS LIVE IN A COMPLEX WORLD It may sound blatantly obvious, but we have to remind ourselves occasionally that in vivo cells experience an environment with a level of complexity far beyond experimental reach. The developing organism is a highly complex system, where each cell receives a multitude of cues of diverse nature at any given time point. Only the comprehensive integration of all these...
متن کاملDistance Education: Integrating Technology Into Computer Science Education
This is a limited study of the effectiveness of 3 approaches to teaching one unit of an information technology course. The emphasis is on comparing distance learning with live lecture approaches. In their comparisons, the authors did consider a complete digital video course vs. a complete lecture course vs. a lecture course which included these video interviews. The main result of the paper is ...
متن کاملComputer Science in Education
Computer science or computing science (sometimes abbreviated CS) is the learning of the theoretical foundations of information and computation, and of practical techniques for their execution and application in computer systems. It is often described as the efficient study of algorithmic processes that produce, explain, and transform information. In this work, I use Data Mining algorithms from ...
متن کاملGlimpses into the Future of Computer Science Education
This paper discusses necessary changes to the computer science curriculum at universities for the future. The alterations are grouped into the following five areas: content and body of knowledge; pedagogy; audience; training-on-the-job; and professional skills. The paper argues that extending the scope of knowledge beyond the narrow borders of primary computer science topics (“breadth in comput...
