BACKGROUND The learning styles are the distinctive learners' strategies for information processing and discovering new concepts. One of the most important kinds of learning styles is the Witkin's theory of field dependence-independence cognitive style. OBJECTIVE This study seeks to find the relationship between field dependence -independence cognitive style and English text reading comprehens...

RhoA, RhoB and RhoC GTPases are over 85% identical at the amino acid level, with RhoA and RhoC differing at only one residue (43) across the initial two-thirds of their sequences. A putative regulatory distinction between the molecules is their capacity to be uniquely activated by guanine nucleotide exchange factors (GEFs). We hypothesize that variation of amino acid residue 43 between RhoA/B (...

Level of openness in an experiment refers to the extent to which students are provided procedures for performing the lab. In traditional approaches students follow a very prescriptive format, often working to verify what is already known, as opposed to undertaking true experimentation. Many teachers and researchers today are calling for a more open and investigative approach to student experime...

L2 learners’ individual differences are crucial factors that deserve attention in L2 education. Focusing on 2 main areas of individual differences (i.e., field (in)dependence and multiple intelligences), this study explored their relationships with L2 reading performance. Participants were 64 TEFL undergraduates and postgraduates. To assess the participats’ degree of field (in)dependence and mu...

The use of collaborative tactics based on Moodle is quite effective in assisting students improving their reading comprehension. an online education platform that creates a unique learning environment for to learn in. Students are split into two groups attitudes toward information from outside sources: field-independent learners and field-dependent learners. Independent Learner has self-suffici...

This study analyzed the relationships among student achievement, learning strategies, learning patterns, learning styles, and student characteristics. The population of this study included 99 students taking two Web-based courses offered by a land grant university in the United States. Seventy-four students (75%) completed a learning style test, an on-line questionnaire, and received grades by ...

The Popeye domain containing (POPDC) genes encode a novel class of cAMP effector proteins, which are abundantly expressed in heart and skeletal muscle. Here, we will review their role in striated muscle as deduced from work in cell and animal models and the recent analysis of patients carrying a missense mutation in POPDC1. Evidence suggests that POPDC proteins control membrane trafficking of i...

For purposes of the present study, it was hypothesized that field (in)dependence would introduce systematic variance into Iranian EFL learners’ overall and task-specific performance on task-based reading comprehension tests. 1743 freshman, sophomore, junior, and senior students all majoring in English at different Iranian universities and colleges took the Group Embedded Figures Test (GEFT). Th...
