this study investigated the effect of sequencing tasks from simple to complex along +/- reasoning demands on fluency in writing task performance of english as foreign language (efl) learners. the participants of this study included 90 intermediate efl learners from three intact class divisions at the islamic azad uni- versity, shahr-e-qods branch. they were distributed in three groups: experime...

this study investigated the impact of sequencing tasks from simple to complex along +/- reasoning demands on the fluency of writing task performance among efl learners. the participants of the study were 90 inter- mediate efl learners from three classes at islamic azad university, shahr-e-qods branch in iran. they were distributed in three groups: experimental a, experimental b, and a control g...

This paper reports a formative analysis of a Math Modeling Tool in the Algebra II Cognitive Tutor. This tutor is designed to support algebraic reasoning about real world problems. This study focuses on reasoning about situations that can be modeled with general linear form expressions (c = ax + by). Formative evaluations of an early general linear form lesson showed that it helped students comp...

A componential analysis was conducted to determine the locus of adult age differences in symbol arithmetic. Measures of the duration of two proposed components, substitution of digits for symbols and the addition or subtraction of the digits resulting from these substitutions, were obtained from 52 young adults and 52 older adults. Tests of working memory, perceptual speed, motor speed, and ass...

Ortony and Turner (1990) asked "What's Basic About Basic Emotions," and they concluded "very little." They proceeded to advocate a "componential" or "mosaic" view of how emotional systems should be analyzed. Their thesis was flawed by their failure to consider the available neurobehavioral data. Genetically dictated brain systems that mediate affective-emotional processes do exist, even though ...

Multiagent systems are well suited to specify requirements for open physical complex systems. However, up to now, no method allows to build software/hardware hybrid multiagent systems. This paper presents an original method for designing physical multiagent systems. It advocates a basic multiagent phase able to tackle functionnal and organizational issues, associated to a componential phase for...

Abstract Cawas District is an area that has a high potential for flood risk. One of the causes flooding in collapse Dengkeng river embankment. Other factors cause include narrowness flow east, amount garbage blocking river, from Bayat area, and delay opening dam’s floodgates. To find out preparedness community face flooding, study was carried out. The research conducted using qualitative method...

Traditionally, the principal goal of educational assessments is to evaluate students’ academic achievement or proficiency in comparison to their peers or against promulgated standards. Both classical test theory (CTT) and item response theory (IRT) modeling frameworks provide measurement in the form of a summative estimate of the outcome variable. In recent years, understanding and exploring th...

Learning mathematics in schools aim to make students able as a solution or approach simplifying solving daily problems. To achieve this goal, it is necessary have culture-based learning which expected be help understand and master better. The purpose of study identify the mathematical elements contained ornament architecture Muhammad Cheng Hoo Mosque Surabaya. This research qualitative with an ...
