The paper is a reflective account of the design and implementation of mathematical tasks that evoke uncertainty for the learner. Three types of uncertainty associated with mathematical tasks are discussed and illustrated: competing claims, unknown path or questionable conclusion, and non-readily verifiable outcomes. One task is presented in depth, pointing to the dynamic nature of task design, ...

In the visual domain, more than two decades of work posits the existence of dual category learning systems. The reflective system uses working memory to develop and test rules for classifying in an explicit fashion. The reflexive system operates by implicitly associating perception with actions that lead to reinforcement. Dual-systems models posit that in learning natural categories, learners i...

This study aimed to compare the effect of listening strategies, namely, metacognitive, cognitive and social/affective strategies, on impulsive and reflective visually impaired EFL learners’ (VILs) listening comprehension. The participants of the study were 58 male and female VILs at pre-intermediate level within the age range of 12-18 in the west of Iran, Khorram Abad. These participants were s...

the purpose of this study was to examine how four teachers used the seven processes of videotape analysis to develop an analytic approach and reflective thinking towards their teaching. the study was organized within video clubs and was used to describe the interactions among four teachers about their experiences at a language institute. data were gathered through videotaped recordings of lesso...

Computer-based instruction, online or offline, which we will be referring at as einstruction, provides for the development of new flexible pedagogical frameworks that will offer opportunities for open worldwide lifelong instruction. We claim that these are to be stored in instructional digital libraries in order to be accessible to anyone, anytime, anywhere. While many advances have been made i...

This study define learning style as the way in which each learner begins to concentrate, process, and retain new and difficult information. It uses the Kolb’s Learning-Style Inventory (LSI) (1985), to assess the learning style of 241 students from two urban secondary schools in Malaysia. The finding of this study shows that secondary school children in Malaysia tend to use reflective observatio...

Heterogeneous online learning environments such as Go-Lab foster student-centered and exploratory STEM education through the promotion of Inquiry Learning. Although the learner is encouraged to create learning objects such as concept maps or hypotheses, the interpretation and reflection on them is complicated by differences in their form of representation. This work presents the ConceptCloud ap...

The article explores undergraduate students' experiences of developing mindful agency as a positive learning disposition, their perceived change as a learner, and the possible impact of mindful agency coaching on students' learning and personal growth, using a narrative research method. Seventy Chinese undergraduate students generated personal reflective journals and eight participants' journal...

Abstract Educational recommender systems offer benefits for workplace learning by tailoring the selection of activities to individual’s goals. However, existing focus on learner as primary stakeholder processes and do not consider organization’s perspective. We conducted a systematic review develop categorization goals multi-stakeholder systems. Out an initial set 13,198 publications exported f...
