This paper presents the Parcel Dispatching System as an eeective classroom example for teaching (a) how to nd the proper objects, (b) the diierence between analysis and design objects, (c) advanced concepts like packaging and collaboration, and, nally, to provide the students (d) with a holistic view of object-orientation. The example is introduced as an instance of the Holistic Nutshell Patter...

DLESE Teaching Boxes are metaphors for online assemblies of interrelated learning concepts, digital resources, and cohesive narration that bridge the gap between discrete resources and classroomspecific inquiry-oriented lesson sequences. Currently, technology is being implemented that will support scaleable customizable teaching, creating opportunities for the use of the rich content within dig...

In a three-year study, RAND researchers examined the relationship between reform-oriented instruction and student performance in mathematics and science. At the end of the study, students who had been exposed to more reform-oriented teaching performed better in both math and science than those who had experienced less, but the differences in scores were small. The relationship between instructi...

Central to the spirit of reflective teaching is the ability to focus critically on one’s own beliefs, cognitions, and concerns. Numerous proposals have been developed for implementing reflective practices in pre-service teacher education contexts with the aim of producing highly competent reflective teachers. However, it is imperative to identify the candidates’ beliefs and knowledge base befor...

Learners in the 21st century need technological support learning process because of advancements made technology for teaching and learning. A GeoGebra-oriented classroom uses one these technologies that can be implemented classroom. The new developed cycle model study explored effect using GeoGebra mathematical software on students’ perceptions to learn calculus. mixed research methodology was ...

This paper and commentary is about cultural forms, how agency is frozen into and circulates through them over historical time, and how these processes are relevant for design-oriented studies of classroom learning and teaching. Becker, writing about the costs of being an innovator in the classical music business, frames a lone innovator (Harry Partch, a creator of micro-tonal compositions, inst...

Internet-based informatics systems increasingly influence real-life situations. Competencies for Internet applications and services have to be explicitly attained because not observable processes and invisible structures have to be considered. There are examples of successful learning processes for selected parts of the Internet. A systematic analysis of educational requirements and a derived d...

The goal of this paper is to describe a user oriented system framework that provides user tutoring and testing. This tutoring system is suitable for classroom use. It helps to introduce de nitions and simple relations among concepts. The amount of information delivered by the system varies for di erent users. The way information is delivered and the amount of information can be characterized by...

Content authoring is an important part of adaptive educational system development process. The success of the large-scale transfer of these systems to the real classrooms highly depends on how actively classroom teachers will be involved in the content authoring. This paper suggests an approach to the adaptive content authoring based on the coarse-grained topics. While providing sufficient adap...
