This paper discusses the potential of technology-mediated forms of L2 strategy instruction (SI) to not only facilitate SI but to enhance evaluation of SI interventions and L2 strategy research more generally. It uses results from a recent empirical study to show how computer-based forms of SI may offer remedies for problematic features of evaluation, including access to process data showing how...

The present study investigated the potential of implementing reading strategy instruction in raising learners' reading comprehension ability, extending the range of strategies they employed and enhancing their awareness. To conduct the study, 90 Iranian pre-university female students were selected based on a convenient sampling procedure. To collect the necessary data, three types of instrument...

We previously reported on the results of a national web survey of physics faculty about their instructional practices in introductory physics. A subset of 72 survey respondents were interviewed to better characterize how faculty interact with research-based instructional strategies (RBIS), use RBIS, and perceive their institutional contexts. Drawing from 15 interviews with self-reported users o...

Explicit instruction in a problem-solving strategy accelerated learning not only in the domain where it was taught but also in a second domain where it was not taught. We present data from a study in which students learned two unrelated deductive domains: probability and physics. During the probability instruction, the Strategy group was trained with an Intelligent Tutoring System (ITS) that ex...

We deene the bounds of two gang service algorithms, namely time balanced and instruction balanced, using interactivity and throughput based metrics. The work-load is composed of V-RAM jobs, and the architectural model chosen is LogP. We also analyze the eeect of workload and space sharing strategies on the bounds found. The following results are demonstrated: when inter-activity is considered, ...

most of the studies on the key word method of second/foreign language vocabulary learning have been based on the evidence from laboratory experiments and have primarily involved the use of english key words to learn the vocabularies of other languages. furthermore, comparatively quite limited number of such studies is done in authentic classroom contexts. the present study inquired into the eff...

Case-based problem-solving systems reason and learn from experiences, building up case libraries of problems and solutions to guide future reasoning. The expected bene ts of this learning process depend on two types of regularity: (1) problem-solution regularity, the relationship between problem-to-problem and solution-to-solution similarity measures that assures that solutions to similar prior...
