Generally, learning systems suffer from a lack of an explicit and adaptable didactic design. A previously introduced modeling approach called storyboarding is setting the stage to apply Knowledge Engineering Technologies to verify and validate the didactics behind a learning process. Moreover, didactics can be refined according to revealed weaknesses and proven excellence. Successful didactic p...

This work provides a comprehensive derivation of the Fourier transform, with less emphasis on mathematical rigor associated theory. Instead, its primary goal is to serve as didactic resource that fosters an understanding various abstract concepts through straightforward, visual, and animated examples. approach aims make study more accessible those approaching subject for first time.

BACKGROUND We evaluated the cost-effectiveness of combined single session brief behavioral intervention, either didactic or interactive (Mujer Mas Segura, MMS) to promote safer-sex and safer-injection practices among female sex workers who inject drugs (FSW-IDUs) in Tijuana (TJ) and Ciudad-Juarez (CJ) Mexico. Data for this analysis was obtained from a factorial RCT in 2008-2010 coinciding with ...

We present a 6-step didactic planning framework for the integration of location-based games (LBGs) into practical teaching, aiming at a conceptual approach to the dissemination of LBGs for scientific and educational users. We combine approaches from location-based mobile learning with didactic concepts and determine different procedures for the design of a LBG for four learning paradigms. Our f...

The necessity of training of the future primary-school teachers for application of information communication technologies (ICT) in their professional activity is proven in the article. The author considers the essence of the teacher’s language didactic competence, reveals constituent components of the latter, and proves the urgency of the problem of introducing the future primary school teacher...

A key task for the field education supervisor is to facilitate reflection in beginning practice, and to promote in the student a sense of ownership, mastery and understanding of his or her clinical process. At the same time the supervisor is charged to instruct and guide the student. A major challenge for the supervisor is to balance these two dimensions of supervision and maintain a focus on t...

We compared two automated approaches to teaching distinguishing, a fundamental skill of case-based reasoning that involves assessing the relevant differences among cases in a context-sensitive way. The approaches are implemented in two versions of CATO, an ITS designed to teach law students basic skills of casebased legal argument. The original version of CATO employed a didactic explanatory di...

Official statistical information is a public good and therefore should become common heritage in a full sense. One of the fundamental aims of a National Institute of Statistics is to increase people’s statistical literacy. In order to achieve this, Istat decided to review its communication and didactic priorities and strategies and to start from young people: they must be considered as one of t...
