An experimental study on a computer-based environment for learning by problem-posing has been developed for the students. A long-term evaluation with the system was carried out for two months by testing it in a classroom composed by 99 students belonging to three second grade classes at an elementary school. Two systems were arranged in each class for the students and they were allowed to use t...

A new Einstein-Hilbert(E-H) type (SGM) action is obtained by performing the Einstein gravity analogue geomtrical arguments in high symmetric (SGM) spacetime. All elementary particles except graviton are regarded as the eigenstates of SO(10) super-Poincaré algebra(SPA) and composed of the fundamental fermion ”superons” of nonlinear supersymmetry(NL SUSY). Some phenomenological implications and t...

This paper examines structured opportunities for student physical activity in Ontario elementary and secondary schools. Random samples of elementary and secondary schools were selected, and telephone surveys of 353 elementary and 360 secondary school personnel were conducted in 1998. The findings indicate that elementary schools offered physical education, on average, just under three days per ...

Elementary school students in Taiwan started to learn English as a required course at Grade 5 in 2001. And in no later than 2005, elementary school students will start their English course at Grade 3 as the latest policy of Ministry of Education. To achieve the ultimate goals identified in the Nine Year Integrated Curriculum, this proposed Principal Project aims to collaborate with the other fo...

Academic self-concept (ASC) is comprised of individual perceptions of one's own academic ability. In a cross-sectional quasi-representative sample of 3,779 German elementary school children in grades 1 to 4, we investigated (a) the structure of ASC, (b) ASC profile formation, an aspect of differentiation that is reflected in lower correlations between domain-specific ASCs with increasing grade ...

Background: Attention deficit and hyperactivity disorder is a common disorder that causes serious problems in elementary school and it is also implicated in crime statistics, aggression and other behavioral problems in society. This study estimated the prevalence of hyperactivity in elementary school children in Saghez City, Iran, at the age of 6 – 11 years. Methods: In this study, 760 student...
