Scientific inquiry (experimentation and investigation to test hypotheses) is the basis for discovery and theory building in the natural sciences. Learning from the process of scientific inquiry requires loosening our grasp on prior conceptions and constant revision of our mental models based on new experimental results. We posit that learners will require multiple iterations through a 'reflecti...

Blended learning (BL) has been increasingly implemented in higher education, while more research is needed to investigate the role of metacognitive awareness, reflective thinking, problem solving and community inquiry on academic self-efficacy BL. This correlational study collected data from 217 undergraduate students an introductory computer course, using five well-established instruments. The...

The Reflective Memory/Memory Channel @h&UC) system represents a modular bus-based system architecture that belongs to the class of distrtbuted shared memory systems. The RWMC system is characterized by an update consistenqv mechanism for shared data and egicient block transfers over the bus. This worh has tnw main goals. First, an extensive simulation anat’ysis using the firnch’onal Ru/MC simul...

This study examined the design and process of how students’ reflective assessment promoted collaborative metacognition for conceptual and epistemic changes, mediated by Knowledge Forum. The design involved knowledge-building inquiry with reflective assessment – Students wrote reflective summaries to track their initial understanding and trajectories of growth toward scientific understanding in ...

In the present paper, I will explore whether and in what sense philosophical inquiry can be deployed organizations as a pedagogical vehicle to promote reflective professionalism learning-oriented approach organizational practices. This investigation unfold two steps: first, it argued that contemporary “practical turn” philosophy has enabled us rediscover its intimate relationship with education...

Abstract Science is similar to a game, as both involve rules-based participation in search of optimal outcomes. Supported by key texts history and philosophy science, the authors propose game-based model for understanding scientific inquiry practice, particularly through computational resources. They conclude that this creates space more speculative reflective approaches practice can contribute...

In this paper, we propose real-time communication middleware which supports data dissemination with proxy extension. To fulfill stringent QoS requirement such as timing constraint, we employ push-based data delivery approach and real-time channel. Furthermore, by making the most of connected clients, we could permit the increased number of clients and extend the scalability. Since it is also de...
