PURPOSE School teachers can play a key role in the first-aid management of school children experiencing a seizure. The teachers have a pivotal role in disseminating knowledge to the children of diseases experienced by them and developing positive attitudes among the children regarding the diseases. The present study investigated the knowledge and practices used by teachers to manage epileptic s...

The basis of the research is Ikujiro Nonaka and Hirotaka Takeuchi’s knowledge management theory so as to develop junior high vocational teachers’ knowledge management platform and to provide the practical training community the mechanism for the dialogue space and knowledge sharing. Therefore, it could assist the vocational teachers to make good use of the critical knowledge of teaching, admini...

BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVES Specific procedural training standards for US family medicine residencies do not exist. As a result, family physicians graduate with highly variable procedural skills, and the scope of procedural practice for family physicians remains poorly defined. Our objective was to develop a standard list of required procedures for family medicine residencies. METHODS The Socie...

The purpose of this study was to determine if selected personal characteristics, facets of job satisfaction, and the two dimensions of organizational justice (distributive justice & procedural justice) significantly explained variance in the organizational commitment of Pakistani university teachers. In addition, the present study examined the influence of organizational commitment on two organ...

Generalized planning is the task of generating a single solution that is valid for a set of planning problems. In this paper we show how to represent and compute generalized plans using procedural Domain Control Knowledge (DCK). We define a divide and conquer approach that first generates the procedural DCK solving a set of planning problems representative of certain subtasks and then compile i...

Research into the maintenance of procedural knowledge has focused on the detection of declarative meta-structures within the procedures. An alternative approach is described here based on the ripple-down-rules (RDR) formalism. To the standard RDR rule tree, we add a functions environment hierarchy that stores the implementation of the procedures used in the rules. This functions environment str...

Many mathematics educators have lost sight of the critical importance of the mathematical "understanding" which underlies procedural competence, in part because we do not have a language to refer to this kind of understanding. The modal way of categorizing mathematical knowledge -conceptual and procedural knowledge -is limited in that: (a) it is almost exclusively focused on the mathematics of ...

A fundamental difficulty faced by groups of agents that work together is how to efficiently coordinate their efforts. This paper presents techniques that allow heterogeneous agents to more efficiently solve coordination problems by acquiring procedural knowledge. In particular, each agent autonomously learns coordinated procedures that reflect her contributions towards successful past joint beh...
