Facing the problem of more content, less course time, fear emotions of students, A complete reform from the teaching contents, teaching means, teaching methods and other aspects which is closely around the target of the talented cultivation "Emphasize on theoretical basis are taken, strengthen engineering application" of motor learning courses. Practice has proved that these measures had mobili...

We estimate the impact of peer gender composition on student achievement, exploiting the random assignment of Korean middle school students to single-sex schools, coeducational schools with single-sex classes, and coeducational schools with mixed-gender classes. Male students attending coeducational schools with single-sex classes perform worse than boys in mixed-gender classes, while those ass...

Interpretation of symbols, as well as understanding the particulate nature of matter and spatial structures, are essential skills students need for solving problems in chemistry. However, model perception and understanding the spatial structure of organic molecules has been a source of difficulty for many chemistry students. The research objective was to investigate the effect of using virtual ...

We collected data at a large, very selective public university on what math and science instructors felt was the biggest barrier to their students’ learning. We also determined the extent of each instructor’s use of research-based effective teaching methods. Instructors using fewer effective methods were more likely to say the greatest barrier to student learning was the internal deficiencies o...

The 1980s witnessed the widespread introduction of microcomputer technology into educational institutions and the workplace. Microcomputer software training has achieved mixed results due to both training methods and individual factors, such as computer anxiety. The present research addresses the topic of software training by presenting the results of two studies. The first study validates a me...

Two methods for teaching drug calculation were compared—one using traditional formulabased teaching methods, the other building on students’ existing mathematical problemsolving skills. On the basis of quantitative measures, the formula-based approach appeared more effective. However, students’ interview responses revealed that the learning experiences of the two student groups were quite diffe...

Italian speakers tend to stress the second component of German morphologically complex words such as compounds and prefix verbs even if the first component is lexically stressed. To improve their prosodic phrasing an automatic pronunciation teaching method was developed based on auditory feedback of prosodically corrected utterances in the learners’ own voices. Basically, the method copies cont...

The Internet represents a wonderful opportunity to modify the teaching methods, and to redefine our notions of education. The aim of this paper is to present our teaching project, named Web Learning Environment (WLE), which studies the use of the “Net ” and its resources to develop a learning environment. We have involved a classroom (sixteen students, aged 16-17) of a technical institute in It...
