CSCL learning environments provide new contexts for discussions and are thought to provide new opportunities for learning. At the same time, such environments often do not provide guidance on how to act during the discussion. The purpose of this paper is to initiate research on moderation in synchronous discussions in a CSCL environment. The first study contrasts teachers' beliefs on good discu...

A secondary school in Melbourne, Australia piloted an innovative programme Year 10 Advanced Mathematics, which the students recorded screencasts as a method of student-led peer learning. The four mathematics teachers who were interviewed to gain their perspectives on experience and outcomes initiative. Thematic analysis revealed did not recognize need adapt pedagogy integrate technology effecti...

School has to qualify students to use mathematical knowledge and competences in a flexible way in different situations. For that they have to understand fundamental concepts and techniques of mathematics. They have to be able to use standard-procedures to solve problems in well-known situations as well as to use flexible different strategies to solve non-routine problems. Learning the basics li...

Various peer-scaffoldings in problem-solving have been studied as effective learning strategies in web based instruction and on line ‐ ‐ discussion. The web-based environment provides a medium for sharing knowledge and resources, which help learners engage in problem-solving and interactive learning. Learners, however, easily feel isolated in web-based environments because of the tremendous amo...

Computer programming is a difficult subject for most novice learners. Providing support that complements classroom learning could contribute to tackling the difficulties. Due to the ubiquity of mobile devices, such support can be provided by scaffolding the construction of programs on a mobile device. In order to design such a mobile intervention, learners’ needs and limitations of mobile devic...

The scaffolding of a complete lattice L of finite length was introduced by Rudolf Wille in 1976 as a relative subsemilattice of L that can be constructed using subdirect decomposition. The lattice is uniquely defined by its scaffolding and can be reconstructed from it. Using bonds, we demonstrate how the scaffolding can be constructed from a given formal context and thereby extend the notion of...

This study aims to describe how scaffolding learning strategies are implemented in the classroom and what steps can be carried out by teachers students order form their maximum abilities studying sociology material, especially social research material based on problem solving. The approach used this method is qualitative with a phenomenological type data collection done naturally (natural setti...

This paper puts forward the implementation feasibility as the fourth dimension parameter to balance 3 d parameters of training quality, cost and time aiming at the selection of rural in-service teacher training scheme. It designs the implementation feasibility and the hierarchical structure model of implementation feasibility index. It puts forward implementation feasibility probability of ever...

I welcome the inquiry into teacher training. I am an IT professional of 20 years standing, with the appropriate academic and professional qualifications. I have no involvement with or vested interest in the academic establishment, although I have had some exposure to this through the attainment of a Ph.D. in Molecular Genetics, my current candidature for a Master of Computing Studies, some year...
