Becoming Teachers, Becoming Researchers: a Case Study

This paper presents a case study of a group in initial primary teacher education students becoming researchers of their peers’ course experiences of school – university links. The connection between university teacher preparation programmes and work in school is a well-researched area with suggestions that there is a marked disconnect between the two. The project took an emergent approach to le...

Becoming syntactic.

Psycholinguistic research has shown that the influence of abstract syntactic knowledge on performance is shaped by particular sentences that have been experienced. To explore this idea, the authors applied a connectionist model of sentence production to the development and use of abstract syntax. The model makes use of (a) error-based learning to acquire and adapt sequencing mechanisms and (b) ...

Becoming aware

We examine a logic that combines knowledge, awareness, and change of awareness. An agent can become aware of factual propositions but also of other agents or of herself. The dual operation to becoming aware, forgetting, can also be modelled. We show that the logic is decidable, and we present a complete axiomatization.

Becoming Knowingly Interactive with Sensors and Actuators

In order for a mobile robot to accomplish a non-trivial task, the task must be described in terms of primitive actions of the robot’s actuators. We claim that the transformation from the high level task description to the primitive actions should occur primarily at execution time, when information about the environment can be obtained through sensors. Our claim is based on the premise that prop...
