A focus on mathematical understanding and problem solving in math education has developed a need to implement alternate ways of testing to better assess the students' understanding and problem solving skills. Furthermore, previous computer-assisted problem-solving systems designed for elementary school mathematical education have focused mainly on developing students’ cognitive skills and less ...

System utilisation is important for enterprise systems (ES) implementations to succeed. However, even though users may have undergone training on these systems, they may not decide to apply the skills they have learned. This affects the benefits that can accrue to firms from their IT investments, as well as being a waste of the time and money spent on training. We interviewed end-users of enter...

Information literacy (IL) is the set of skills and knowledge that allows us to find, evaluate, and use the information we need, as well as to filter out the information we don’t need. IL skills are the necessary tools that help us successfully navigate the present and future landscape of information. Information and technology affects every person in every possible setting—work, education, recr...

External representations (ERs), such as diagrams, animations, and dynamic models are vital tools for communicating and constructing knowledge in biochemistry. To build a meaningful understanding of structure, function, and process, it is essential that students become visually literate by mastering key cognitive skills that are essential for interpreting and visualizing ERs. In this article, fi...

Cognitive models of interpersonal problem solving have been proposed for, but infrequently tested on, samples of schizophrenia subjects. This study undertook to examine the relationships between the receiving, processing, and sending skills that comprise one model of interpersonal problem solving with information processing and social cue perception. Twenty-six patients with a DSM-III-R diagnos...

concepts (dimensions) are considered to represent the processes under Early Conceptual Ideas (Expectations of the data and what my memos/notes say about my perspective) Reflective and Analytical Memos Timeline (time spent on key areas of the consultation) How did they use SOCRATES? (Time spent on each component). No global perspective of frameworks emerged at this stage ‘Key features’ approach ...

A paradigm shift from a knowledge to a competence society is going on, which also becomes increasingly important for educational and vocational training purposes. Skills and competences are employed to describe learning content, students’ capabilities, learning processes, and the like. Creating descriptions of skills and competences and assigning them manually is usually an exhausting task. Thu...

The issue of Generic Skills has received considerable attention over recent years as universities seek to renew and articulate their purposes and demonstrate the efficient achievement of these, particularly in response to calls for accountability. As an articulation of the core outcomes of higher education as a process (HEC 1992) generic skills (or generic attributes as they are also known) are...

The hallmark characteristic of autism spectrum disorder (ASD) is poor reciprocal social communication. Interventions designed to improve this core deficit are critically needed. Social skills interventions such as direct training, peer mediation, and video modeling have contributed to improvements in various social skills in children with ASD. This paper reviews existing social competence inter...
