The driving forces of conducting the two studies presented in this thesis are: the strong position of curriculum resources in the mathematics classroom in general; teachers’ faith in curriculum resources to convey the intentions and goals of mathematics education; and the expected benefits to mathematics education through expanding the knowledge base of research in the area of curriculum resour...

Today, health has transcended national boundaries and become more multifaceted. Global health has evolved as a new paradigm and is recently being identified as a thrust area now in India. Despite an existing need for a standardized global health curriculum, there is little information available on its education and curriculum in medical and health education space. In the Indian context, we are ...

This article reports on the background research on requirements and current approaches to editors for learning curriculum designers. First we take a critique look at the state of the art in the domain of learning activity editors. We then look back in the information visualization and interaction literature to discuss the design challenged of such tools. From these current theories and applied ...

In this paper, we propose a new framework for training vision-based agent for First-Person Shooter (FPS) Game, in particular Doom. Our framework combines the state-of-the-art reinforcement learning approach (Asynchronous Advantage Actor-Critic (A3C) model [Mnih et al. (2016)]) with curriculum learning. Our model is simple in design and only uses game states from the AI side, rather than using o...

Based on education concept of CDIO (Conceive – Design – Implement – Operate) engineering, and combined with the requirements of the educational reform in colleges and universities, aimed at some problems existing in the Sensor course teaching of civil engineering, this paper suggests the reform approach from the prospects of teaching methods, teaching content, teaching environment, curriculum a...

The endobronchial ultrasound (EBUS) scope has been increasingly used in the gastrointestinal tract (EUS-B). Scientific data proves its efficacy and safety to provide a complete lung cancer staging, when combined with EBUS-TBNA, and in the diagnosis of para-esophageal lesions. There are multiple barriers to start performing EUS-B but probably the most important ones are related to knowledge and ...

Interdisciplinary engineering programs have many perceived benefits including developing broader skills and an ability to work with complex real-life problems. However, the development of interdisciplinary faces challenges how balance breadth depth, integrate learning into existing studies across university structures. In in communicating interdisciplinarity, T-, Y- Pi-shaped visualisations are...

How might we teach undergraduate students about Indigenous geographies using historical maps? This paper describes processes associated with the bridging of a Kiowa map computerized geographic information systems (GIS) and geography curriculum. The authors applied an indigital framework as approach for melding Western knowledge into third kind construct teaching historical/contemporary spatial ...
