despite the extensive deployment of multi-core architectures in the past few years, the design and optimization of each single processing core is still a fresh field in computing .on the other hand, having a design procedure (used to solve the problems related to the design of a single processing core )makes it possible to apply the proposed solutions to specific-purpose processing cores .the i...

the present study was planned to investigate the efficiency of explicit teaching and adequacy of the l2 learners' exposure to l2 input in academic contexts in iran. the case at hand was the acquisition of referential, quasi and expletive subject pronouns, as three different types of obligatory subjects in english. 96 iranian efl learners were selected from two universities in isfahan. they were...

We describe a system which uses an agent-based approach to support teaching in the collaborative setting of asynchronous plain-text electronic conferencing. We have identified areas within which tutors who use conferencing need support and developed a system which provides help in an opportunistic manner. The agent we have developed uses a case-based approach to instruction by offering help on ...

It is widely assumed that instruction plays a role in learning and in transfer. The present studies examine how type of instruction (containing principle-based vs. procedure-based information) influences learning and transfer in a mathematical concept. In the first study, both types of instruction led a comparable number of children to learn, but principle-based instruction led significantly mo...

In this paper, we propose the development of a web-based, intelligent instruction system to help elementary school students for mathematical computation. We concentrate on the intelligence facilities which support diagnosis and advice. The existing web-based instruction systems merely give information on whether the learners’ replies are ‘correct’ or ‘incorrect’, and only offer evaluations of t...

Shared responsibilities such as mentoring, instruction, learner monitoring and classroom management enable the peers to observe, review, reflect on and learn from the overall practical professional expertise of one another through collegial instruction experience. The present exploratory case study has The present exploratory case study has attempted to study collegial teaching as an innovative...

abstractthe present study explores the impact of corpus-based collocation instruction on intermediate iranian efl learners' writing ability. for this study, 84 iranian learners, studying english as a foreign language in bayan institute, iran, were selected and were randomly divided into two groups, experimental and control. conventional methods of writing instruction were taught to the control ...
