The aim of this study was to examine the effects of teaching of the problem solving strategies on the students’ physics achievement, strategy level, attitude, and achievement motivation. Experimental procedures were conducted on the tenth grade students in Turkey. Research data were collected with Physics Achievement Test, Surveys of Problem Solving Strategies, Problem Solving Attitude, and Ach...

Background: Failure in reaching the predetermined goals of education can be considered as one of the most important problems of educational systems. Today, it is believed that active teaching methods are more effective than lecturing which lead to effective teaching. Participation of students in education is one of the major factors of active learning. The purpose of the present study is to det...

Cooperative transmission of data fosters rapid accumulation of knowledge by efficiently combining experience across learners. Although well studied in human learning, there has been less attention to cooperative transmission of data in machine learning, and we consequently lack strong formal frameworks through which we may reason about the benefits and limitations of cooperative inference. We p...

The problem of how a teacher and a learner can cooperate in the process of learning concepts from examples in order to minimize the required sample size without “coding tricks” has been widely addressed, yet without achieving teaching and learning protocols that meet what seems intuitively an optimal choice for selecting samples in teaching. We introduce the model of subset teaching sets, based...

Classrooms incorporating Cooperative Learning (CL) structures facilitate a supportive learning environment for English Language Learners (ELLs). Accurate pronunciation by ELLs is important for communication, and also benefits academic achievement. The known benefits of CL for ELLs make it a desirable learning environment to teach pronunciation skills. Thus, sufficient consideration must be give...

This paper presents a way of possible implementation of teaching process based on interdisciplinary correlation. Interdisciplinary relationship between biology (bird migration) and geography (the basic features of countries through which white storks travel to their wintering grounds in Africa) is suggested in this paper. Such interdisciplinary approach should make the teaching process effectiv...

this study seeks to examine how teachers’ educational background (those who have educated in tefl in comparison to those who have educated in literature) may influence their beliefs and attitudes on language learning, teaching and the teaching methods they apply in their classes. on a general basis, depending on teachers’ opinion, learning process might be seen as behavioristic, inductive, inte...

Evolutionary games are studied where the teaching activity of players can evolve in time. Initially all players following either the cooperative or defecting strategy are distributed on a square lattice. The rate of strategy adoption is determined by the payoff difference and a teaching activity characterizing the donor’s capability to enforce its strategy on the opponent. Each successful strat...
