Data-driven instructional improvement relies on developing coherent systems that allow school staff to generate, interpret and act upon quality formative information on students and school programs. This paper offers a formative feedback system model that captures how school leaders and teachers structure artifacts and practices to create formative information flows across interventions, assess...

this research explores the effects of three computer-mediated feedback modalities, that is, elicitation, recast, and meta-linguistics, on the learning of english participial, gerund, and infinitival phrases among iranian intermediate-level efl learners. the overriding focus of the present study was to investigate whether different types of feedback given through form-focused computer-human exch...

this study aimed at investigating the effect of the type of feedback and practice on the acquisition of parameter index. for this purpose, 8 groups (each 12 subjects) were formed: constant practice group with self–controlled feedback, constant practice group with yoked feedback (yoked group), blocked practice group with self–controlled feedback, blocked practice group with yoked feedback, rando...

The transgender inmate population presents unique challenges and opportunities in medical, psychiatric, and correctional systems of care worldwide. We present a review of both case law and efforts within the medical and psychiatric communities to address transgender needs more consistently over the past few decades. In addition, we discuss the standardized implementation of core principles with...

In Multi-Source Feedback or 360 Degree Feedback, data on the performance of an individual are collected systematically from a number of stakeholders and are used for improving performance. The 360-Degree Feedback approach provides a consistent management philosophy meeting the criterion outlined previously. The 360-degree feedback appraisal process describes a human resource methodology that is...

Introducing consumed items as users’ implicit feedback in matrix factorization (MF) method, SVD++ is one of the most effective collaborative filtering methods for personalized recommender systems. Though powerful, SVD++ has two limitations: (i). only user-side implicit feedback is utilized, whereas item-side implicit feedback, which can also enrich item representations, is not leveraged; (ii). ...

A global information system (GIS) connects companies in various countries. Although GIS professionals have produced many facilities for connectivity, only a few have developed a comprehensive GIS model to overcome the obstacles. Complexities, ambiguity as well as other risks are among GIS development difficulties. To develop an efficient and effective decision-making process, critical performan...

Genotype-directed therapy holds great promise for the treatment of cancer, but crosstalk between signaling pathways often confounds simple genotype-drug response relationships. To deliver on the promise of precision medicine, a coordinated effort is needed to make a comprehensive inventory of the many signaling feedback circuits that exist in cancer cells.
