Computer simulation has significant potential as a supplementary tool for effective conceptual-change learning based on the integration of technology and appropriate instructional strategies. This study elucidates misconceptions in learning on diodes and constructs a conceptual-change learning system that incorporates prediction-observation-explanation (POE) and simulation-based learning strate...

Pedagogical innovations, ideas, and outcomes designed to enhance student learning in physiology courses are encouraged by our professional organizations and are actively discussed at conferences and in Advance in Physiological Education. Here, we report our experiment with freely available internet-based material as a substitute for the textbook for a single chapter on muscle physiology in a so...

This paper describes our experience with using hardware description languages (HDLs such as VHDL) in the sophomore level Computer Architecture course for Computer Science (CS) majors. In our approach, we leverage the students’ understanding of Object Oriented Programming (OOP) to introduce programmatic specifications of computer components such as multiplexors, adders etc. Students will be expo...

The Smith College Picker Engineering Program has partnered with the college's Department of Education and Child Study and Office of Educational Outreach to develop a learner-centered approach to engineering education, central to which is the integration of engineering and the liberal arts in the service of humanity. This paper presents the results of applying these educational strategies to Con...

The Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering at the University of Illinois recently adopted new undergraduate curricula. The most radical change was the introduction of ECE 210, Analog Signal Processing, in place of both the sophomore-level circuit analysis course and the junior-level signals and systems course. The new course combines core material from these traditional courses, alon...

Using a quantitative approach, this study investigated the impacts of debate on students’ speaking skills in English-language classes at English Department, Herat University, Afghanistan. The participants were 44 sophomore students (28 girls and 16 boys). To understand participants’ levels, researchers had pre-test followed by six-week treatment having debates class. For measuring debate, post-...

Needs analysis is a compulsory procedure in formulating the syllabus. Since Covid-19 has forcefully changed traditional learning into online learning, it necessary to reanalyse students’ needs an appropriate English This quantitative study employs descriptive method. The participants are 85 sophomore students of nursing bachelor program at STIKes YPIB Majalengka. aims describe that categorized ...

“Semantic search” is a fairly broad term without fixed goal amongst developers. Most agree that semantic searching should reach beyond simple keyword or text/string matching in order to provide more robust taxonomies and relevant information retrieval systems. Many novice users first-year students struggle retrieve the scholarly sources they desire because lack specialized vocabulary attained t...

The paper describes how the Technical University of British Columbia (TechBC) is using online and cooperative learning to improve the quality of education offered to its students. To explain how web technology is being used to enhance learning, we focus on a sophomore level course in signal processing. Students study presentations delivered on the Web, discuss problems using an asynchronous con...
