Jurkowski, Susanne; Hänze, Martin – British Journal of Educational Psychology, 2015
Background: Transactive communication means referring to and building on a learning partner's idea, by, for example, extending the partner's idea or interlinking the partner's idea with an idea of one's own. This transforms the partner's idea into a more elaborate one. Previous research found a positive relationship between students' transactive…

Wu, Ji-Wei; Tseng, Judy C. R.; Hwang, Gwo-Jen – Educational Technology & Society, 2015
Inquiry-Based Learning (IBL) is an effective approach for promoting active learning. When inquiry-based learning is incorporated into instruction, teachers provide guiding questions for students to actively explore the required knowledge in order to solve the problems. Although the World Wide Web (WWW) is a rich knowledge resource for students to…

Hafidi, Mohamed; Bensebaa, Taher – International Journal of Distance Education Technologies, 2015
The majority of adaptive and intelligent tutoring systems (AITS) are dedicated to a specific domain, allowing them to offer accurate models of the domain and the learner. The analysis produced from traces left by the users is didactically very precise and specific to the domain in question. It allows one to guide the learner in case of difficulty…

Sayeski, Kristin L.; Hamilton-Jones, Bethany; Oh, Susan – Teacher Education and Special Education, 2015
The vast majority of special education teacher preparation programs in the United States incorporate the IRIS Center's "STAR Legacy" modules into their coursework. Given the diversity of module content and ways in which the modules are employed, the purpose of this study was to explore the potential mediating effects of instructional…

Anand, S.; Farswan, R. S.; Fernandes, B. G. – IEEE Transactions on Education, 2012
Experimentation is important for learning and research in the field of power electronics and drives. However, a great deal of equipment is required to study the various topologies, controllers, and functionalities. Thus, the cost of establishing good laboratories and research centers is high. To address this problem, the authors have developed a…

Low-Cost Undergraduate Control Systems Experiments Using Microcontroller-Based Control of a DC Motor
Gunasekaran, M.; Potluri, R. – IEEE Transactions on Education, 2012
This paper presents low-cost experiments for a control systems laboratory module that is worth one and a third credits. The experiments are organized around the microcontroller-based control of a permanent magnet dc motor. The experimental setups were built in-house. Except for the operating system, the software used is primarily freeware or free…

Asay, Loretta Johnson – ProQuest LLC, 2013
Analogies are ubiquitous during instruction in science classrooms, yet research about the effectiveness of using analogies has produced mixed results. An aspect seldom studied is a model of instruction when using analogies. The few existing models for instruction with analogies have not often been examined quantitatively. The Teaching With…

Kock, Ned; Chatelain-Jardón, Ruth; Carmona, Jesus – Decision Sciences Journal of Innovative Education, 2009
It seems that surprise events have the potential to turn short-term memories into long-term memories, an unusual phenomenon that may have limited but interesting applications in learning tasks. This surprise-enhanced cognition phenomenon is theoretically modeled based on the notion that many human mental traits have evolved through natural…

Stoof, Angela; Martens, Rob L.; van Merrienboer, Jeroen J. G. – Instructional Science: An International Journal of Learning and Cognition, 2006
Educationalists experience difficulties with the construction of competence maps that describe final attainment levels of educational programs. Web-based support was developed with three supportive aids: A construction kit, a phenomenarium, and an information bank. Each supportive aid was expected to improve perceived process and product quality…
