PURPOSE To compare different cephalocaudal angles of the X-ray beam in measuring internal rotation of the proximal tibia that best demonstrates the safe zone. METHODS 10 pairs of embalmed, disarticulated knee joints from 10 cadavers were used. Soft tissues around the proximal tibia and the proximal tibiofibular joint (PTFJ) were dissected to reveal the articular cartilage. A narrow area betwe...

This research chiefly focused on the application of mitigation strategies and traditional form of feedback in writing development of the fifth semester University students majoring in TEFL and English Translation fields based on Vygotsky’s sociocultural theory in general and the notion of “Zone of Proximal Development” in particular. To that end, this study relied on a pre-posttest experimental...

As the focus of Australian educational research has shifted to studying the quality of teacher intervention, the notion of scaffolding is becoming increasingly popular among educators in different areas such as literacy and numeracy, early childhood education and educational psychology for adults. Vygotskian socio-cultural psychology, and the zone of proximal development (ZPD) in particular, is...

This study represents an effort to construct a learning framework for knowledge building and collective wisdom advancement in a virtual learning community (VLC) from the perspectives of system wholeness, intelligence wholeness and dynamics, learning models, and knowledge management. It also tries to construct the zone of proximal development (ZPD) of VLCs based on the combination of Vygotsky’s ...

The intention of the present paper is to seek whether gender has any impact on the effectiveness of applying Guthke's Lerntest approach in reading comprehension. For this purpose, after selecting 60 intermediate EFL learners, they were arbitrarily categorized to four clusters of males and females, two experimental and two control groups, each consisting of 15 male and 15 female learners. Both c...
