In the paper we analyze the data collected in ten schools in Israel which have incorporated ICT in unique ways and have succeeded in devising innovative classroom pedagogies and changes in teachers and students roles and outcomes. The major research questions addressed are: (a) What levels of innovation were observed in the participant schools, and in which domains? (b) How does the level of in...

This paper introduces a proposal scheme for an Intelligent System applied to Pedagogical Advising using Case-Based Reasoning, to find consolidated solutions before used for the new problems, making easier the task of advising students to the pedagogical staff. We do intend, through this work, introduce the motivation behind the choices for this system structure, justifying the development of an...

Several studies exist that have reached the conclusion that there are significant correlations between learning style and learning outcome. Therefore, it becomes apparent that since a successful instructor is one who achieves the best “learning outcome” from most of his/her students, then he/she should be able to cater for his/her students’ different learning styles. When the instructor’s role ...

Background: Pedagogical knowledge management is the management of knowledge and experiences in teaching, assessment, learning theories, and classroom management, and other areas of education. An analytical study of the literature can be helpful in understanding the pedagogical knowledge management approach. Therefore, this study is aimed on research synthesis of the effectiveness of pedagogical...

Knowledge-based learning environments provide an ideal testbed for developing and evaluating computational models of mixed initiative interaction. In each problem-solving episode, learners incrementally develop solutions for problems posed by the environment. To maximize learning e ectiveness and learning e ciency, we have been developing animated pedagogical agents that dynamically provide exp...

We review black-hole solutions of higher-dimensional vacuum gravity and higher-dimensional supergravity theories. The discussion of vacuum gravity is pedagogical, with detailed reviews of Myers-Perry solutions, black rings, and solution-generating techniques. We discuss black-hole solutions of maximal supergravity theories, including black holes in anti-de Sitter space. General results and open...

From the educational point of view, learning by mistake could be influential teaching method, especially for teaching/learning Computer Science (CS), and/or Information Technologies (IT). As learning programming is very difficult and hard task, perhaps even more difficult and extremely demanding job to teach novices how to make correct computers programs. The concept of design pedagogical patte...

There is a massive shortage of teachers worldwide. This shortage is particularly acute in developing countries. Distance-oriented education has been hailed as one of the possible solutions for resolving this problem. In recent years, new generations of Webbased distance-oriented education models have come to the fore; the latest of which are MOOCs. In this paper, the issues and design considera...

This discussion paper gives an overview of the shortcomings of existing computer-based business simulation games and identifies the requirements for developing an integrated gaming environment based on active intelligent agents and interactive pedagogical agents. In particular, methods are presented to integrate a business game vertically and horizontally employing reusable intelligent agent te...

Purpose – First, to explore the application of e-learning as a medium for workplace learning, as a form of adult learning and organisational learning from a theoretical point of view, second, to review empirical studies on recent solutions to pedagogical problems encountered in workplace learning in general and in e-learning in particular, and finally, to consider the challenges facing the furt...
