background: in the recent years, new medical technologies and their probable misusing have emerged public concerns about medical ethics. medical ethics is a practical discipline that provides a structured approach for identifying, analyzing, and resolving ethical issues in clinical medicine. methods: in this study we reviewed some new methods of teaching medical ethics in other countries by sea...

The advancement of game-based learning has encouraged many related studies, such that students could better learn curriculum by 3-dimension virtual reality. To enhance software engineering learning, this paper develops a 3D game-based learning system to assist teaching and assess the students’ motivation, satisfaction and learning achievement. A quasi-experimental design is based on the ARCS Th...

background and purpose: two important clinical education methods are problem-based and student-centered. however, education of “clinical decision-making skills” and “application of clinical knowledge” is important. usually training these cases is done in small groups . in this study, new method of scientific textbooks with four factors mentioned above has been implemented in large education gro...

Traditional education has often been seen as teacher led, with a predefined body of knowledge in some domain to be conveyed via instruction. But some educators advocate a student driven approach of knowledge construction through experience of the world initiated by exploration. A mixed-initiative approach potentially can retain the best of both forms of education. It means that the various agen...

An explanation for the acquisition of word-object mappings is the associative learning in a crosssituational scenario. Here we present analytical results of the performance of a simple associative learning algorithm for acquiring a one-to-one mapping between N objects and N words based solely on the co-occurrence between objects and words. In particular, a learning trial in our learning scenari...

In this paper, we present a rapid learning algorithm called Dyna-QPC. The proposed algorithm requires considerably less training time than Q-learning and Table-based Dyna-Q algorithm, making it applicable to real-world control tasks. The Dyna-QPC algorithm is a combination of existing learning techniques: CMAC, Q-learning, and prioritized sweeping. In a practical experiment, the Dyna-QPC algori...

Personalized learning has recently become an innovative trend in digital learning. The adaptive material could enhance the intention of learning, and motivate learner to concentrate on learning activity. Information technology have flourished, multimedia have been widely applied in learning materials. Various types of multimedia are designed on learning activities, how they affect individual’s ...

rapidly increasing urbanization in the world, especially in developing countries, let to increasing urban extents. rapid urban growth causes to appearance many problems such as wasting environmental resources, inability of providing necessary services for citizens and unplanned growth. urban mangers and planners need tools for understanding amount and size of future urban growths to prevent the...
