Deep learning has transformed the use of machine technologies for analysis large experimental datasets. In science, such datasets are typically generated by large-scale facilities, and focuses on identification patterns, trends anomalies to extract meaningful scientific insights from data. upcoming as Extreme Photonics Application Centre (EPAC) in UK or international Square Kilometre Array (SKA...

The TRIPSE (tri-partite problem solving exercise), a process-oriented exam that mimics the scientific process, was used previously in small classes (15-25). Provided limited data, students frame explanations and design experimental tests that they later revise with additional information. Our 6-year experience using it with larger numbers (155-204) in a freshman biology course, suggests that it...

The article addresses the question of how should scientific peers revise their beliefs (if at all) upon recognized disagreement. After presenting basics peer disagreement in sections 1 and 2, we focus, section 3, on a concrete case disagreement, to wit, dispute over evidential status randomized control trials medical practice. examination this motivates idea that some disagreements permit stead...

Science education is the meaningful pursuit of comprehension, knowledge and understanding of scientific concepts and processes. In Vygotskian, social-constructivist learning, personal interpretation, decision making and community cooperation fosters long-term understanding and transference of learned concepts. In short, the construction of knowledge requires learners to be actively involved in ...

Complex systems concepts are important to learn for both scientific and pedagogical reasons. However, research has shown that these concepts are difficult for students to learn. In this paper we present a series of microworlds called “BeeSmart” for students to engage in a constructionist learning experience through manipulating NetLogo models, discussing with peers, and co-constructing meanings...

In the same way that the Web has evolved from being a technology designed to aid scientific collaboration to one which is employed extensively in e-business and increasingly in e-learning, the Grid is also evolving from its original concept as a highly distributed dynamic source of computing resources “on tap”, like the power grid, for e-science, to a means of supporting enterprise computing ac...
