This article focuses on home-based citizenship classes for Bhutanese-Nepali elders in Central Ohio in the United States. As part of a larger longitudinal study centered in the ethnographic, language socialization, and discourse analytic traditions, the article focuses on data, particularly regular audiovideo recordings, gathered over a five-month period and tracks one student’s progress towards...

Learning involves adding to the knowledge and skills of a student, and can be divided into a 'process' and an 'end product' or 'outcome'. In formal teaching, the focus is on pre-defined end products and it is hoped that the improvements in knowledge and skills are relatively permanent. However, this is not always the case, which is why it becomes important to examine the concept of 'transfer' m...

To determine the developmental trajectory of hippocampal function in rats, we examined 24-h changes in extracellular acetylcholine (ACh) levels and contextual learning performance. Extracellular ACh significantly correlated with spontaneous behavior, exhibiting a 24-h rhythm in juvenile (4-week-old), pubertal (6-week-old), and adult (9- to 12-week-old) rats. Although juveniles of both sexes exh...

H do conceptions of the knowledge worker and the learning organization fit with research on adult learning? In the last 30 years a great deal has been written on the subject of adult learning – Knowles, Cross, and Brookfield are three of the major theorists in the field. Knowles (1979) uses the term “andragogy” as opposed to pedagogy to argue that adults learn in ways different from children. H...

Abstract Task-based language teaching has received increased attention in second language research. However, the combination of structured input-based approach and task-based language teaching has not been examined in relation to L2 grammar learning. To address this gap, the present study investigated how the structured input-based tasks with and without explicit information impacted learners’ ...

previous studies have shown that ascorbic acid (aa) plays a crucial role in mammalian brain as avitamin and neuronal modulator. there is increasing evidence indicating that dopaminergic system and aacould affect learning and memory processes. in addition, vitamin c acts as a dopamine antagonist in thebrain. the aim of the present study was to evaluate the intra-hippocampal co-administration of ...

This study is designed to measure readiness among adult distance learner to embrace new technologies in their studies. This study involved 190 adult distance learner from School of Distance Education, UniversitiSains Malaysia as a respondent and the data were collected by questionnaire that adopted from Parasuraman and Colby (2001) [1]. The study was carried out to see whether adult learners ar...
