The purpose of this study is to investigate the effects of a ubiquitous problem-based learning system (UPBLS) on students’ question-raising performance in field inquiry activities.

The paper argues that the concept of “general arousal”, or Extraversion, which is used to present energetic aspects of behaviour is an oversimplification of the energetic components of temperament. Two reported studies were conducted on Russian and Canadian samples using the Structure of Temperament Questionnaire Compact (STQ-77), which has 12 activity-specific temperament scales assessing vari...

Instances of the futile questioning problem abound in applications, especially, in the area of artificial intelligence. The problem can be represented by a particular quantified Boolean formula. A variation of the problem includes also costs for the logic variables. Typically, the problem is simplified instead of solved directly, which may lead to inaccurate results. Alternatively, the problem ...

Questions are design problems for both the questioner and the addressee. They must be produced as recognizable objects and must be comprehended by taking into account the context in which they occur and the local situated interests of the participants. This paper investigates how people do ‘questioning’ and ‘responding’ in Italian ordinary conversations. I focus on the features of both question...

Models aim at rebuilding certain aspects of real phenomena using some given level of description, complex system science in particular endeavors at rebuilding complex high-level behavior from more simple, more reliable and better-understood “atomic” mechanisms at an allegedly lower level. Simulation-based models are frequently used, as analytical solutions are seldom available and limited to si...

Why do we ask questions? Because we want to have some information. But why this particular kind of information? Because only information of this particular kind is helpful to resolve the decision problem that the agent faces. In this paper I argue that questions are asked because their answers help to resolve the questioner’s decision problem, and that this assumption helps us to interpret inte...
