PURPOSE Prior descriptions of the psychometric properties of validated knowledge assessment tools designed to determine Emergency medicine (EM) residents understanding of physiologic and clinical concepts related to mechanical ventilation are lacking. In this setting, we have performed this study to describe the psychometric and performance properties of a novel knowledge assessment tool that m...

In this study, the directed (deductive) content analysis approach was adopted to explore the components of translator trainers’ competencies through in-depth individual semistructured interviews conducted with 10 expert Iranian translator trainers at different universities around Iran. Theoretical model was the translator trainer profile proposed by The European Master’s in Translation (EMT) Gr...

Distance education, reaching students through accessible, high quality, individualized instruction is a major challenge for today’s universities. Increased access to computers and the Internet has made this idea more feasible, but researchers are still working on the most effective ways to deliver individualized instruction in inexpensive, expandable ways. This paper explores the evolution of t...

The aim of following study is to implement a model in order to evaluate shared knowledge in Organizations. The usefulness of shared knowledge as a decision making resource, however, is only as good as the quality of the knowledge that it contains. In order to improve the quality of knowledge, a set of useful method is required. The purpose of this paper is to define a practical method for organ...

The possible worlds semantics is a fruitful approach used in Artificial Intelligence (AI) for both modelling as well as reasoning about knowledge in agent systems via modal logics. In this work our main idea is not to model/reason about knowledge but to provide a theoretical framework for knowledge assessment (KA) with the help of Monatague-Scott (MS) semantics of modal logic. In KA questions a...

Boolean logic appears to be unable to draw conclusions in the presence of inconsistent and/or incomplete information. Fortunately, what seems to be impossible to solve applying binary logic can be achieved using nonbinary logic. In this work we use the theory of many-value logic to facilitate the deductive process of knowledge assessment. Key–Words: Web-based assessment, learning, intelligent t...
