Good self-control has been linked to adaptive outcomes such as better health, cohesive personal relationships, success in the workplace and at school, less susceptibility crime addictions. In contrast, failure is maladaptive outcomes. Understanding mechanisms by which predicts behavior may assist promoting regulation A popular approach understanding strength or resource depletion model. Self-control conceptualized a limited that becomes depleted after period of exertion resulting failure....
B ackground Across many domains, research has shown that students often fail to select and apply appropriate conceptual knowledge when solving problems. Programs designed support monitoring skills have been successful in several domains. P urpose (H ypothesis ) Critical statics appears be cued by paying attention the bodies are present a problem, as well which ones interacting how. The question addresses whether can induced think about present, focusing on improves problem performance. D...
In this article we investigate preschool children's understanding of indeterminacy by examining their ability to distinguish between determinate situations--in which the available evidence eliminates all uncertainty about an outcome--and indeterminate it does not. We argue that a full requires coordination 3 processes: search, evaluation, and mapping. describe experiments aimed at discovering extent these processes, each has been implicated in previous accounts reasoning, are developed...
We compared two groups of twenty computer-naive college students as they received instruction and practice in writing Logo programs. The design group pretraining general principles such modularity (breaking a procedure into parts) reusability (using the same subprocedure more than once) presented English whereas no-design did not. On programming assignments during learning, generated revision cycles, test runs, syntax errors, input lines group; wrote final programs that were shorter,...
In team-based project courses, collaborative learning is the dominant mode. Collaborative has been shown to increase individual through co-construction and personal reflection. Rapid adoption of Web-based communication mobile computing by students provide opportunities take advantage collaboration tools for engineering education. We present preliminary findings on a computer environment, Kiva that supports activities group design teams. have employed methods from human-computer interaction...
An antenna measurement facility has been constructed that can be remotely controlled over the Internet. The primary purpose of is to make it easier for instructors include construction and projects in courses on antennas, RF systems, electromagnetic fields. capable measuring gain, patterns, return loss antennas type used personal electronic devices 800 MHz 6.5 GHz range. Experience with supporting at Carnegie Mellon University, Georgia Institute Technology, Worcester Polytechnic showed both...
Abstract NOTE: The first page of text has been automatically extracted and included below in lieu an abstract Inducing Students to Contemplate Concept-Eliciting Questions the Effect on Problem Solving Performance Introduction In many engineering subjects students learn solve problems. solving demands transfer knowledge from one context another1. This requires that one’s be suitably organized meaningful patterns, able retrieve knowledge, recognizing its relevance problem process. is linked...
Solving of multi-faceted, complex problems demands students to be self-guided in drawing upon conceptual knowledge. Here we summarize an initial study the effectiveness inducing talk about bodies and their relations forces; structure Statics suggests potential benefit this approach. Protocols (written spoken) are obtained for solving both before after instruction. Instruction consists responding questions forces followed by expert response. Solutions protocols graded coded, respectively....
This chapter introduces an online consultation tool that helps resolve the tension developers often experience in consultations between offering quick fixes and providing in-depth but time-consuming conceptual understanding. The Eberly Center for Teaching Excellence has developed provides instructors with concrete teaching strategies to address common problems, while also educating them about pedagogical principles informing those strategies. can be used enhance traditional face-to-face or,...
A very special thank-you toJudith Brooks, who masterfully designed the online tool
