The use of educational games for pedagogical practice can provide new conceptions of teachinglearning in an interactive environment stimulating the acquisition of new knowledge. The so-called serious games are focused on the goal of transmitting educational content or training to the user. In the context of entrepreneurship, serious games appear to have greater importance due to the multidiscip...

in this paper, the effects of input temperature and compression ratio on the net output work and efficiency of the air standard cycles, i.e. atkinson cycle, diesel cycle and otto cycle are analyzed. we assumed that the compression and power processes are adiabatic and reversible and any convective, conductive and radiative heat transfer to cylinder wall during the heat rejection process may be ...

Telementoring in surgical operations in remote areas of Malaysia as i inaccessible parts of rest of the world could be made a reality making use of existing hardware/ software solutions and facilities over the WWW in a cost effective way . The project making use of MSN Community and My Web was found to be viable even with the available facilities. at a reasonable cost. An acceptable teachinglea...

The stability is an important topic to plan and manage the energy in the microgrids as the same as the conventional power systems. The voltage and frequency stability is one of the most important issues recently studied in microgrids. The objectives of this paper are the modelling and designing of the components and optimal controllers for the voltage and frequency control of the AC/DC hybrid m...

First of all a survey of the most relevant definitions and hypotheses concerning data, information, communication and knowledge is proposed. Main aim of this introduction is to give to the reader a reference frame for the analysis of the students’ learning and for their knowledge construction works. Soon after some wrong ideas are analyzed with respect to the above conceptual frame, i.e. with r...

The objective of this research is to evaluate the impact using simulators on students’ achievement competencies, such as: Inquire, through scientific methods build knowledge. methodology used consisted qualitative whose data collection was carried out an experiment with interactive Physics Educational Technology (PhET) simulators. a simple random sampling 25 students from population 100 physics...

The increasing acceptance of video games as learning tools has promoted new studies on how to include them in the teachinglearning process. An interesting trend is the use of modern webbased Learning Management Systems (LMS) as a delivery platform for games and the integration of the information that can be extracted from the game-play sessions into the already existing tracking and assessment ...

This study aims to examine and highlight the extent of mathematics teacher's awareness of their student's geometrical misconceptions and mistakes in the intermediate education stage. The sample consisted of (400) first grade students and (40) teachers. The results showed that intermediate education stage students suffered from various geometrical misconceptions such as parallelogram, trapezoid,...
