We conceive of social competence as the ability to use social interactions to satisfy one's own goals and needs while at the same time considering the needs and goals of others. To assess these two dimensions, a questionnaire was developed (SOCOMP: Selfand Other-oriented social COMPetences). The aim of the current study was to establish reliability and construct validity of the parent report of...

Teaching systematic object-oriented software development to undergraduate students is difficult: Students need to develop a lot of complex skills. These include technical skills in object-oriented software development, but also social skills—for example, how to collaborate with other developers as part of a team working towards a large and complex software system. To acquire these skills, stude...

[Purpose] This study investigates how a task-oriented training and high-variability practice program can affect the gross motor performance and activities of daily living for children with spastic diplegia and provides an effective and reliable clinical database for future improvement of motor performances skills. [Subjects and Methods] This study randomly assigned seven children with spastic d...

Third year Computer Science students were studied in order to determine which knowledge, skills and strategies they used during anobject-oriented programming task. Quantitative and qualitative methods were used to analyse their computer programs and associatedthinking processes. Successful programmers applied significantly more cognitive, metacognitive and problem-solving knowledge,...

The purpose of this qualitative study was to identify the perception of interdisciplinary staff members regarding the impact of a model work and independent living oriented program for residents in supportive living facilities.

Many listener-oriented theories of phonetic reduction assume that the talker has tacit knowledge of an interlocutor’s mental state, and consequently predict that talkers with poor theory of mind should exhibit inconsistent behavior between semantic contexts. This study examined effects of individual differences in theory of mind skills on extent of phonetic reduction in three acoustic domains (...

Component-oriented software development has become an important approach to building complex software systems. Computer Science students should learn the concepts and skills needed for component-oriented programming. This paper describes a component-oriented language BoxScript whose design seeks to address the needs of teachers and students for a clean, simple language. This paper presents the ...
