In this paper we present a model which describes the scholarship of teaching. We first explore what teaching means, both in terms way it is represented literature and also understood by academic staff themselves. From information, derive multi-dimensional captures variation found empirical studies. final section, illustrate how used informing design programs for development universities.

Several recent studies on student learning in higher education reported 'dissonant' forms of contextualised engagement. The focus the present study is teaching and their relation to learning. This relatively large--scale research programme involved surveys approximately 8829 students 408 university teachers across 51 different units study. data were analysed using a combination cluster factor analyses. In which report quality experience (deep approaches perceptions environment that afford...

An adaptive multivariate statistical process monitoring (MSPC) approach is described for the of a with incurs operating condition changes. Samplewise and blockwise recursive formulas updating weighted mean covariance matrix are derived. By utilizing these updated structures current model, new model derived recursively. On basis principal component analysis (PCA) representation, two metrics, Hotelling's T2 Q-statistic, calculated their control limits updated. For more efficient updating,...

IntertextualityAn Introduction Elaine Martin Intertextuality, which has occasionally been used somewhat blithely to designate interdisciplinary and comparative investigations of various sorts, may, in its theorization historicization, not be blithe at all. That is, we may agree on meaning. Most critics that the term was coined late 1960s by Julia Kristeva, who combined ideas from Bakhtin social context language with Saussure's positing systematic features language.1 Kristeva's definition,...

It examines variation perceptions experienced by teachers same departments. explores empirical relations between coordinators' conceptions teachers' leadership, approaches to The authors show that there is an relationship way conceive teaching, how their perceive these approach Taken together with earlier work on teaching higher...

ABSTRACT Pressures to improve the quality of university education have led more attention being paid ways recognising and rewarding good teaching. Exploration academic staff opinions about value accorded teaching research by their institutions invariably shows that they think is appropriately valued, while undervalued. This article describes results from a national investigation universities' processes for methods giving recognition The information used derive policy recommendations UK, US,...

When analyzing complex mixtures that exhibit sample-to-sample variability using spectroscopic instrumentation, the variation in optical path length, resulting from physical variations inherent within individual samples, will result significant multiplicative light scattering perturbations. Although a number of algorithms have been proposed to address effect scattering, each has associated with it underlying assumptions, which necessitates additional information relating spectra being...

Movement towards evidence-based practices in many fields suggests that public health (PH) challenges may be better addressed if credible information about risks and effective PH is readily available. However, research has shown needs are unmet. In addition to reviewing relevant literature, this study performed a comprehensive review of existing resources collected data from two representative groups, focusing on identifying current practices, expressed needs, ideal systems for...

Summary The primary goal of multivariate statistical process performance monitoring is to identify deviations from normal operation within a manufacturing process. basis the schemes historical data that have been collected when running under operating conditions. These are then used establish confidence bounds detect onset deviations. In contrast with traditional approaches based on Gaussian assumption, this paper proposes application infinite mixture model (GMM) for calculation bounds,...

Predictive screening of metal–organic framework (MOF) materials for their gas uptake properties has been previously limited by using data from a range simulated sources, meaning the final predictions are dependent on performance these original models. In this work, experimental used to create Gradient Boosted Tree model prediction H2, CH4, and CO2 over temperatures pressures in MOF materials. The descriptors database were obtained literature, with no computational modeling needed. This was...

Multivariate statistical process control (MSPC) that is based on principal component analysis (PCA) has been applied to many industrial processes. Such an approach assumes the signals are normally distributed and exhibit stationary behavior. These assumptions significantly limit range of applicability methodology. In this paper, a monitoring scheme maximum-likelihood PCA (MLPCA) mixture proposed. The main idea behind complex data patterns obtained from can be described by several local...
