Technology: Bridging the Gap from Research to Practice

Bridging the Gap Bridging the Educational Research-Teaching Practice Gap

The first paper [1] in this two-part miniseries on conceptual understanding discussed expert and novice conceptual knowledge, the multifaceted nature of conceptual understanding, and the cognitive skills essential for constructing it. This second article presents examples of instruments for the assessment and development of five facets of conceptual understanding that require competence in the ...

Bridging the Gap Between Research and Practice.

Health secretary Alan Johnson announced in March the identities of the first five academic health science centres in the UK, one of which is the result of a collaboration between Imperial College London and Imperial College Healthcare NHS Trust. These centres are partnerships between world-class universities and leading NHS organisations, and this article examines the implications of their esta...

From Principle to Practice: Bridging the Gap in Patient Profiling

The standard clinical coagulation assays, activated partial thromboplastin time (aPTT) and prothrombin time (PT) cannot predict thrombotic or bleeding risk. Since thrombin generation is central to haemorrhage control and when unregulated, is the likely cause of thrombosis, thrombin generation assays (TGA) have gained acceptance as "global assays" of haemostasis. These assays generate an enormou...

Context Aware Design: Bridging the Gap from Frameworks to Practice

For nearly a decade, researchers had struggled with a widely accepted definition of context. Recently, the definition proposed by Dey, et al. provided a theoretical foundation for future research in context related area. The problem researchers face now is how to use such a general framework in practice. My dissertation will investigate the gap between the existing framework and practical desig...
