Kalogiannis, Stavros – Biochemistry and Molecular Biology Education, 2017
In the present article, a scheme that summarizes the biochemical events occurring in the human body after the consumption of a meal is proposed. The scheme illustrates the metabolic sequence as a series of counteracting components occupying opposite positions in a cycle, indicating their opposite actions or physiological states, such as meal…

Nielsen, Carolyn; Kooli, Arwa – Communication Teacher, 2023
Access to online data sets and free, data-visualization software programs that don't require coding skills has given journalism students the ability to produce charts, maps, and graphs quickly. Maps that used to require weeks of software training and expensive programs to create can now be produced in less than an hour. However, students must…

Tellinghuisen, Joel – Journal of Chemical Education, 2016
The method of least squares (LS) yields exact solutions for the adjustable parameters when the number of data values n equals the number of parameters "p". This holds also when the fit model consists of "m" different equations and "m = p", which means that LS algorithms can be used to obtain solutions to systems of…

Toh, Tin-Lam – International Journal of Mathematical Education in Science and Technology, 2007
This paper describes a content upgrading course on Secondary School Algebra which was planned and conducted for in-service mathematics teachers who are trained to teach mathematics at lower secondary level (ages 13 to 14). In order to be an effective mathematics teacher, one needs to know a great deal of mathematical knowledge on top of good…

Yule, George; MacDonald, Doris – IRAL, 1995
Describes the different effects for four types of activities on students' pronunciation of targeted second-language (L2) vocabulary used in oral presentations. Samples of pronunciation were elicited at three points. The observed effects over time are presented graphically, and the complex learning processes underlying these effects are discussed.…

Thomas, Mike – International Group for the Psychology of Mathematics Education, 2003
It is becoming widely recognised that teachers' content knowledge has an important influence on their pedagogical content knowledge, and hence on the learning of students. In secondary schools, function is one of the fundamental concepts of mathematics. This paper considers the understanding of function exhibited by a group of teacher trainees in…
