This investigation was carried out to examine the effect of think-pair-share on high school learners’ academic attainment in fractions and most effective stage think-pair-share. Two research questions five hypotheses guided this study. An explanatory sequential mixed method design used. Purposive convenience sampling techniques were used select first-years 78 participants, respectively. Teacher...

from applied linguistic point of view, the fundamental question facing the language teachers, methodologists and course designers is which procedure is more effective in fl/sl: learning to use or using to learn? definitely, in order to be a competent language user, knowledge of language system is necessary, but it is not sufficient to be a successful language user. that is why there was a gradu...

In recent years, artificial neural networks have been used for time series forecasting. Determining architecture of artificial neural networks is very important problem in the applications. In this study, the problem in which time series are forecasted by feed forward neural networks is examined. Various model selection criteria have been used for the determining architecture. In addition, a ne...

the purpose of this paper is to investigate the challengesand problems of nonprofit institutes and universities. the researchmethod is a survey in which non-profit institutes’ strategy wasdetermined based on swot analysis. the research populationincluded all faculty members and administrators of non-profitinstitutes, 108 of which were selected based on clustering and simplerandom sampling metho...

AbstractWe discuss the implementation of a learning algorithm for determining adaptation parameters in evolution strategies. As an initial test case, we consider the application of reinforcement learning for determining the relationship between success rates and the adaptation of step sizes in the (1+1)-evolution strategy. The results from the new adaptive scheme when applied to several test fu...

there are different strategies for selecting stocks, and different investors use different strategies according to their risk tolerance or their expected rate of return. in this study, the profitability of a broad range of stock se-lection strategies in tehran stock exchange over the period 1370-1383, has been examined, and it has been investigated whether the successful strategies in other cou...

changes in credit risk may arise when either the value or the risk of corporate assets changes. changes in the equity value associated with the changes in the asset value and changes in asset risk can be characterized into potentially countervailing direct and indirect effects. the indirect effect of risk on equity value is a function of factors that affect the debt value of including leverage,...

In the present study, we experimentally tested the role of hand motor circuits in simple-arithmetic strategies. Educated adults solved simple additions (e.g., 8 + 3) or simple subtractions (e.g., 11 - 3) while they were required to retrieve the answer from long-term memory (e.g., knowing that 8 + 3 = 11), to transform the problem by making an intermediate step (e.g., 8 + 3 = 8 + 2 + 1 = 10 + 1 ...
