Contrary to the fairly established notion in the learning and cognitive sciences that un-scaffolded processes rarely lead to meaningful learning, this study reports a hidden efficacy of such processes and a method for extracting it. Compared to scaffolded, well-structured problem-solving groups, unscaffolded, ill-structured problem-solving groups struggled with defining and solving the problems...

Standard models of representation as encodings of what is represented yield models of knowledge as banks of such encodings. Learning, in such a view, is the transmission of new encodings into those storage banks in the mind. Technology, therefore, can be a wonderful aid in enhancing the accessibility and transmission of these encoded representations — in enhancing learning as viewed in this mod...

The Scaffolded Sound Beehive is an immersive multi-media installation which provides viewers an artistic visual and audio experience of activities in a beehive. Data were recorded in urban beehives and processed using sophisticated pattern recognition, AI technologies, and sonification and computer graphics software. The installation includes an experiment in using Deep Learning to interpret th...

This study examined the effect of scaffolding students who learned by designing assignments for a computer simulation on the physics topic of alternating circuits. We compared the students’ assignments and the knowledge acquired in a scaffolded group (N5 23) and a nonscaffolded group (N5 19). The scaffold consisted of a Design Sheet that guided students through the different steps in the design...

INTRODUCTION AND OBJECTIVES The Absorb bioresorbable vascular scaffold has been shown to decrease total plaque areas in the treated segment. However, it is unknown whether plaque size is modified in scaffolded segments only or whether the modification extends to other coronary segments. METHODS Absorb Cohort A is a single-arm, prospective study, with safety and imaging endpoints, in which 30 ...

Touch screen tablets and story book apps provide opportunities for teachers to support young children’s shared reading experiences. Much research has examined the benefits of digital in learning. However, less is known about how very children engage with learn from interactive these early The case study reported on here was conducted north England explored one teacher scaffolded a child’s learn...
