Collaborative activities, like peer tutoring, can be beneficial for student learning, but only when students are supported in interacting effectively. Constructing intelligent tutors for collaborating students may be an improvement over fixed forms of support that do not adapt to student behaviors. We have developed an intelligent tutor to improve the help that peer tutors give to peer tutees b...

Over the past decade, instructors in colleges and universities increasingly have used Student Response Systems (SRSs)--typically in large classes to increase the level of student engagement and learning. Research shows that both students and instructors perceive SRSs to be beneficial, although evidence of improved learning has been less clear. Experts emphasize that instructors must consider ho...

This paper investigates how behavioral cloning can be used to decrease training time for students learning to y on simulators. The challenges presented to each student must be tailored to their unique learning experiences. This requires an intelligent training regime that exploits a model of each student that predicts where the student's performance will be de cient. Here we show that cloning t...

Contribution: This study examined student effort and performance in an introductory programming course with respect to student-held implicit theories and self-efficacy. Background: Implicit theories and self-efficacy shed a light into understanding academic success, which must be considered when developing effective learning strategies for programming. Research Questions: Are implicit theories ...

This paper explores the nature of the relationship between IT and a student-centred quality-teaching environment. It argues that given the need to graduate students with knowledge, skills and capabilities for the extent of change required in a knowledge economy, universities must give more attention to the development of student-centred teaching opportunities in which students learn from experi...

the aim of this study was to show the interaction between the society, applicants and medical schools in terms of medical student selection. in this study, the trends to implement social factors in the selection process were highlighted. these social factors were explored through functionalism and conflict theories, each focusing on different categories of social factors. while functionalist th...

introduction the effects of periodontal diseases observed in adults have earlier inception in life period. gingival diseases in a child may progress to jeopardize the periodontium in adult hood. therefore, periodontal diseases must be prevented and diagnosed early in the life. periodontal diseases risk factors must also be identified. the aim of this research was to find the prevalence and iden...

Over the last few decades, multiple studies have examined understanding of participants in clinical research. They show variable and often poor key elements disclosure, such as expected risks experimental nature treatments. Did these give valid consent? According to standard view informed consent they did not. The holds that recipient has a duty disclose certain information profferer because re...

The research study shows how pedagogical practicum is conceived, and student-teachers are constructed as language teachers, within the discourses spoken in initial meetings institutional documents of an English teaching undergraduate program Bogota, Colombia. were analyzed under principles ethnography communication linguistic ethnography. This affords insights into a contributory conception ima...

BACKGROUND Although nurses must be able to respond quickly and effectively to cardiac arrest, numerous studies have demonstrated poor performance. Simulation is a promising learning tool for resuscitation team training but there are few studies that examine simulation for training defibrillation and cardiopulmonary resuscitation (D-CPR) in teams from the nursing education perspective. The aim o...
