This paper explores whether and how models of educational management are evident in the operations and organisational culture of a language teaching institute in a Southeast Asian country*. The research followed the decision-making, planning and implementation processes at different levels of the institute over a three-month period. The purpose of the research was to ascertain: (1) whether any ...

Educational Modelling Languages (EMLs) have been proposed to support the computational modelling of educational units accordingly to different pedagogical approaches. These languages are presented as formal specifications to capture the elements and behaviours involved in educational units. Eventually, these models are intended to support the execution of appropriate e-learning systems, enablin...

Educational models are used within an institution to describe different educational components and the existing relationships. The important components within an educational domain are in a sense similar to business environments including institutional structures, processes and resources. In the educational domain, the developer may use educational models to gain a better understanding of the k...

There is a lack of educational technology to support cognitive systems engineering topics such as models of human performance in dynamic environments. This paper describes the Cognitive Systems Engineering Educational Software (CSEES) system, an integrated toolset designed to facilitate curricula related to human judgment and decision-making performance modeling and evaluation. CSEES provides s...

INTRODUCTION Applying a cross-sectional analysis to a sample of 2,627 African-American and Caucasian adults aged > or = 45 years from the Johnston County Osteoarthritis Project, we studied the association between educational attainment and prevalence of radiographic knee osteoarthritis and symptomatic knee osteoarthritis. METHODS Age- and race-adjusted associations between education and osteo...

Many educational applications, from tutoring to problem generation, are built on a formal model of the operational knowledge for a given domain. These domain models consist of rewrite rules that experts apply to solve problems in the domain; e.g., factoring, ax+bx→ (a+b)x, is one such rule for K-12 algebra. Domain models currently take hundreds of hours to create, and they differ widely in how ...
