The present paper introduces a new model for teaching randomized learners. Our new model, though based on the classical teaching dimension model, allows to study the influence of various parameters such as the learner’s memory size, its ability to provide or to not provide feedback, and the influence of the order in which examples are presented. Furthermore, within the new model it is possible ...

Teacher turnover negatively impacts educational quality. This study investigates whether schools’ socioeconomic composition (SES), teachers’ teachability perceptions, emotional exhaustion and teacher efficacy impact intention to quit transfer schools. Through multilevel analysis on data of 1247 teachers in 59 Flemish schools, our results indicate that are more emotionally exhausted low-SES resu...

BACKGROUND Clinical teaching competency is a professional necessity ensuring that clinicians' knowledge, skills and attitudes are effectively transmitted from experts to novices. The aim of this paper is to consider how clinical skills are transmitted from a historical and reflective perspective and to link these ideas with student and teacher perceptions of competence in clinical teaching. M...

We reduce the problem of finding an augmenting path in a general graph to a teachability problem and show that a slight modification of depth-first search leads to an algorithm for finding such paths. As a consequence, we obtain a straightforward algorithm for maximum matching in general graphs of time complexity O(x/ffm), where n is the number of nodes and m is the number of edges in the graph...

Teachable agent is a type of pedagogical agent which instantiates Learning-by-Teaching theory through simulating a “naive” learner in order to motivate students to teach it. This paper discusses the limitation of existing teachable agents and incorporates intrinsic motivation to the agent model to enable teachable agents with initiative behaviors in fulfilling three perspectives of educational ...

This paper conceptualizes the firm as a cognitive learning order. It discusses two origins of the order, namely hereditary and social and the interplay between the two. The organic nature of the order is emphasized. I argue that teachability and learning at the level of the order are critical for its evolution. The order learns to understand the structures of its larger environment and the stru...
