The use of dynamic instruction architectures based on eld-programmable gate arrays (FPGAs) is described. Using this approach, an application speciic instruction based system has been designed for image segmentation which is an important stage in a computer vision system. The speciic application of interest here is texture-based page layout segmentation for document images. The complete segmenta...

This study was inspired by VanPatten and Uludag’s (2011) study on the transferability of training via processing instruction to output tasks and Mori’s (2002) work on the development of talk-in-interaction during a group task. An interview was devised as the pretest, posttest, and delayed posttest to compare four intervention types for teaching the simple past passive: traditional intervention ...

Five behaviorological features of programmed instruction are outlined: behavioral objectives, reinforcement, activity rate: high and relevant, successive approximation, and mastery progression. Each of these topics is explained, and examples are given to illustrate the differences between programmed instruction and the more common 'transmission' model of teaching. A final section provides sugge...

INTRODUCTION The research presented in this paper is concerned with the question “Can advanced information systems, such as expert knowledge-based systems (EKBS), help in new business strategy formulation?” More specifically, it focuses on how EKBS can help a user formulate a new venture business plan. EKBS are a branch of artificial intelligence which gained acceptance in business almost two d...

In a hospital, doctors and nurses shares roles in treating admitted patients. Communication between them is necessary and communication errors become the problem in medical safety. In Japan, verbal instruction is prohibited and doctors write their instruction on paper instruction slips. However, because it is difficult to ascertain revision history and the active instructions on instruction sli...

this study investigates and compares the efficacy of differentiated instruction and traditional-based instruction on enhancing iranian students’ reading comprehension. eight elementary, intermediate, and advanced classrooms from 1 language institute were chosen, and based on their performance on the pretests were further divided into 4 control and 4 treatment groups. flexible grouping, tiered i...

Instruction may be seen as the intentional creation of conditions around learning so as to facilitate the achievement of determined goals. Normally, instruction is based upon certain educational strategies. It is well accepted that these strategies should be founded in a theoretical framework. However, the adoption of epistemological perspectives for the instructional design is not enough. It w...
