First principles for promoting meaningful learning

Promoting Meaningful Learning through Video Production-Supported PBL

This paper reports on a design-based research for designing, implementing, and refi ning a problem-based learning (PBL) course on educational digital video at the University of Lapland’s Faculty of Education. The course builds on a combination of problem solving in small group tutorial sessions and realizing a practical hands-on project during which the students design and produce educational v...

Evolutionary principles promoting cooperation

Life shows a stunning level of complexity. Understanding the emergence of this complexity and the functioning of intricate biological processes lies at the heart of modern biology. One major hallmark of biological complexity, including many forms of interacting organisms, is cooperation. Cooperating individuals are, by providing a benefit, capable to facilitate a better depletion of resources, ...

Concept maps and meaningful learning in medical education

Promoting alkali and alkaline-earth metals on MgO for enhancing CO2 capture by first-principles calculations.

Developing next-generation solid sorbents to improve the economy of pre- and post-combustion carbon capture processes has been challenging for many researchers. Magnesium oxide (MgO) is a promising sorbent because of its moderate sorption-desorption temperature and low heat of sorption. However, its low sorption capacity and thermal instability need to be improved. Various metal-promoted MgO so...
