Like all models, the new model is also based on a theoretical foundation; constructivism, which emphasis is placed on the learner or the student rather than the teacher or the instructor. Students learn by fitting new information together with what they already know. People learn best when they actively construct their own understanding. The new constructivist based model is composed of four pr...

The National Council on Teacher Quality (NCTQ) regularly prepares reports rating teacher preparation programs (TPPs) across the United States on a set of input and process-based standards. The purpose of the research described in this brief is to use data drawn from North Carolina to examine the associations between the NCTQ ratings of TPPs and two measures of teacher performance—teacher value-...

The rapid adoption of machine learning has increased concerns about the privacy implications of machine learning models trained on sensitive data, such as medical records or other personal information. To address those concerns, one promising approach is Private Aggregation of Teacher Ensembles, or PATE, which transfers to a “student” model the knowledge of an ensemble of “teacher” models, with...

Teachers are evaluated in different ways. However, the most prevalent and controversial method is teacher evaluation by students. The present study was targeted at the examination of students’ view on the teachers’ evaluation criteria. Methods: The population of this descriptive cross-sectional study was 107 students of Paramedical Faculty of Urmia University of Medical Sciences that two of th...

Neural network compression has recently received much attention due to the computational requirements of modern deep models. In this work, our objective is to transfer knowledge from a deep and accurate model to a smaller one. Our contributions are threefold: (i) we propose an adversarial network compression approach to train the small student network to mimic the large teacher, without the nee...

The provision of quality teachers is central to a nation’s education system. This study evaluated two universities, based on teacher curriculum models (concurrent and consecutive) using Stake’s Antece-dents-Transactions-Outcomes (ATO) evaluation model, the subject content components. was descriptive type survey method. sample comprised 514 from selected secondary schools (188 consecutive 326 co...

This paper describes the effectiveness of knowledge distillation using teacher student training for building accurate and compact neural networks. We show that with knowledge distillation, information from multiple acoustic models like very deep VGG networks and Long Short-Term Memory (LSTM) models can be used to train standard convolutional neural network (CNN) acoustic models for a variety of...

 The tool presented in this work allows the teacher to create objective questions in order to get a formative evaluation having as its main goal to track the development of the student in the learning process. The aim of the tool is to create a dependence among test questions, building a tree of questions where the teacher can verify the “path” followed by the student during the test, getting ...
