It is common for math teachers to give students time in class to practice problem solving skills. Some studies have shown that intelligent tutoring systems (ITS) can be superior to traditional classroom instruction. In this study, we compare problem solving with little or no feedback in the classroom to problem solving using a web-based ITS for homework. The system provides students with coache...

In this paper, we present our current work on Intelligent Environment the Smart Classroom project. It is an augmented classroom used for teachers in the distant education. The teacher can write directly on a wall-size media-board or use speech and gesture to conduct the class discussion involving of the distant students. It is just the experience that the teacher was familiar with in the ordina...

The Classroom Assignment problem consists of scheduling a set of courses into a fixed number of rooms, given a fixed timetable. At the University of Munich, a classroom plan has to be created each semester after collecting timetables of all departments and wishes of teachers. This planning is very complex since a lot of constraints have to be met, e.g. room size and equipment. Using constraint-...

Previous research (Lund, 2015) has shown that different classroom learning environments (including course level, class size, and classroom layout) will lead to different distributions of the four general COPUS instructional styles (Lecturing, Socratic Instruction, Peer Instruction, and Collaborative Learning). Among our classroom observations of chemistry, biology, and physics departments for t...

INTRODUCTION A "flipped classroom" educational model exchanges the traditional format of a classroom lecture and homework problem set. We piloted two flipped classroom sessions in our emergency medicine (EM) residency didactic schedule. We aimed to learn about resident and faculty impressions of the sessions, in order to develop them as a regular component of our residency curriculum. METHODS...

background: the appropriate designing of school equipment for establishing a suitable sitting habit, is of major importance. unfortunately, benches and desks in iranian schools are not properly adjusted with anthropometric characteristics of students. the main theme of this research is preparing some guidelines for anthropometric designing and ergonomic adjustment of benches and desks. methods:...

BACKGROUND Most classroom observation studies have documented significant deficiencies in the classroom attention of children with attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) compared to their typically developing peers. The magnitude of these differences, however, varies considerably and may be influenced by contextual, sampling, diagnostic, and observational differences. METHODS Meta-an...

obviously, learning environment plays a crucial role in how second language or a foreign language is learned. in this regard, the importance of interaction for l2 learning has been emphasized. the current study investigated teachers' interactional moves (im) and learners' uptake in efl classrooms systematically. to meet this end, four efl contexts of speaking and listening courses for...
