On Mathematical Contents of Computer Science Contests

Science Olympiads and contests brings spirit of competitiveness to Science education. They benefit best students, engage them with research. Simultaneously Science Olympiads and contests challenge faculty to enhance teaching so that regular student can enjoy Olympiad and contest problems. Computer Science contests become very popular with undergraduate students in recent years. Maybe the Associ...

An investigation of computer generated knowledge retention activities in computer-based training with adult learners

The goal o f this investigation was to evaluate the impact o f training and the effectiveness o f different types o f knowledge retention activities delivered by computer-based training programs. This study focused on a computer-based learning system called the Profound Learning Delivery System (PLS). PLS is an application designed to improve the content knowledge retention o f adult learners w...

Response Times and Misconception-like Responses to Science Questions

Patterns of incorrect answering or “misconception-like” responses to scientific concept questions have been well documented. Here we investigate both response choices and response times to gain insight into the nature of misconception-like responses. In a series of experiments involving questions on graphs in which participants must compare the slopes of two points, we find that students answer...
