Systematic incorporation of digital games in schools is largely unexplored. This case study explored the ecological conditions necessary for implementing a game-based learning course by examining the interaction between three domains (the innovator, the innovation, and the context). From January-April 2012, one in-service teacher learned and applied the Play Curricular activity Reflection Discu...

This study evaluates the effect of the interaction between cognitive variables and the presence of scent on online search motivation, purchase characteristics, and telepresence. An interaction between consumers’ type of thought process and the presence of scent was identified as influencing search motivation (attention focus and challenge) and telepresence experience. Ambient scent influenced t...

Interdisciplinary thinking as a skill appears to be of value to higher education students and those in employment. This idea is explored with reference to the agricultural and life sciences. The need for further understanding of the development of interdisciplinary thinking is acknowledged. This is closely related to the requirement for well-founded curriculum and course design. This publicatio...

The heuristic-systematic model proposes two distinct modes of thinking about information. Systematic processing involves attempts to thoroughly understand any available information through careful attention, deep thinking, and intensive reasoning, whereas heuristic processing involves focusing on salient and easily comprehended cues that activate well-learned judgmental shortcuts. Heuristic pro...

This is a survey of the use of the bootstrap in the area of systematic and evolutionary biology. I present the current usage by biologists of the bootstrap as a tool both for making inferences and for evaluating robustness, and propose a framework for thinking about these problems in terms of mathematical statistics.

Systematic use of the notion of self-reference system is suggested to apply in mathematics and physics. We enter notion of quantum self-references, which describe our most general mathematical distinctions, abstractions. We argue that in the nature there are only selfreference systems, that we may distinct properly, and that our natural way of thinking is mathematical.

TOC provides a systematic methodology to verbalize intuition and formulate effective solutions for difficult problems. Efficient and timely distribution of certificate revocation information is one of the biggest challenges faced by PKI implementers. In this paper, we demonstrate the use of TOC Thinking Process tools to develop an intuitive and effective solution for the hard problem of managin...

In Knowledge Management perspective, Organization Learning and the selection of Knowledge Management tool affects the Knowledge Management strategy planning. Among the various KM theorem such as Learning method, organization knowledge creation, Cognitive theory, Intangible assets and knowledge capital, Measuring knowledge theory etc., Systematic Thinking plays an important role in Knowledge Man...
