Various methods have been proposed in the past to improve student learning by introducing new styles of working with assignments. These include problembased learning, use of case studies and apprenticeship. In most courses, however, these proposals have not resulted in a widespread significant change of teaching methods. Most institutions still use a traditional lecture/lab class approach with ...

Kirschner, Sweller, and Clark (2006) make a general case for the effectiveness of a teaching method—direct instruction—without reference to any context of what it is that is being taught by whom and to whom. In so doing, they bypass what is arguably the most pressing concern facing educators—not how to teach students but what to teach them. An argument is made for the need to contemplate instru...

In this paper, we focus on the popular sport--tennis. We present a new teaching training method. Base on the E-Learning web-site, we propose the tennis network teaching. We use skilled system to establish the interactive tennis teaching E-Learning structure in our research. And we will execute our method in network teaching web-site finally. Our method provides a novel teaching model and a nove...

Considering the goal of bilingual teaching of professional courses, how to carry out bilingual classroom instruction of professional courses was investigated in detail. The bilingual teaching of professional courses is different from the ordinary teaching of professional courses and the teaching of foreign language. Based on the bilingual teaching practice for several years, several classroom i...

WITNESS is a VISM system [3] or simulator as Law & Kelton [4] call it. Produced by Lanner Group, it claims to be the world’s leading software product in the field of visual interactive simulation. The version used for teaching is the educational version which has the full functionality of the proper version but is restricted to a smaller number of elements. Both discrete and continuous systems ...

We introduce the multivariate Ornstein-Uhlenbeck process, solve it analytically, and discuss how it generalizes a vast class of continuous-time and discretetime multivariate processes. Relying on the simple geometrical interpretation of the dynamics of the Ornstein-Uhlenbeck process we introduce cointegration and its relationship to statistical arbitrage. We illustrate an application to swap co...

In this paper we present a model of collaborative evaluation that has been used to engage teachers in data-based decision making for improving teaching and learning in mathematics and science. We examine three external challenges that threaten the process of continuous school improvement; namely, making sense of data, policy changes, and curriculum changes. In addition, we describe how the coll...

− A tool that could improve the quality of the assistance perceived by the visually impaired students, during a PC laboratory teaching session, is presented in this paper. The work of qualified supporting teachers could be highly improved by the use of suitable software and hardware facilities allowing for remote monitoring of students’ physical and working condition. This could highly reduce t...
