Contextual Vocabulary Acquisition: From Algorithm to Curriculum
Deliberate contextual vocabulary acquisition (CVA) is a reader’s ability to figure out a (not the) meaning of an unknown word from its “context”, without external sources of help such as dictionaries or people. The appropriate context for such CVA is the “belief-revised integration” of the reader’s prior knowledge with the reader’s “internalization” of the text. We discuss unwarranted assumptio...
متن کاملContextual Vocabulary Acquisition: A Computational Theory and Educational Curriculum
We discuss a research project that develops and applies algorithms for computational contextual vocabulary acquisition (CVA): learning the meaning of unknown words from context. We try to unify a disparate literature on the topic of CVA from psychology, firstand secondlanguage acquisition, and reading science, in order to help develop these algorithms: We use the knowledge gained from the compu...
متن کاملROLE: CONTEXTUAL VOCABULARY ACQUISITION: From Algorithm to Curriculum
1. Since 7/2001, funded by an NSF ROLE pilot project, William J. Rapaport (Computer Science & Engineering) and Michael W. Kibby (Learning & Instruction) have been investigating “contextual vocabulary acquisition” (CVA): active, deliberate acquisition of word meanings from text by reasoning from contextual clues, prior knowledge, language knowledge, and hypotheses developed from prior encounters...
متن کاملContextual considerations in implementing problem-based learning approaches in a Brazilian medical curriculum: the UNAERP experience
BACKGROUND Despite being a well-established pedagogical approach in medical education, the implementation of problem-based learning (PBL) approaches hinges not only on educational aspects of the medical curriculum but also on the characteristics and necessities of the health system and the medical labor market within which it is situated. AIM To report our experiences implementing a PBL-based...
متن کاملImpact on knowledge acquisition of the transition from a conventional to an integrated contextual medical curriculum.
CONTEXT This study set out to test the hypotheses that after the implementation of an integrated contextual medical curriculum (ICMC), ICMC students would attain higher levels of knowledge in both the basic and clinical sciences at an earlier stage than conventional medical curriculum (CMC) students, that ICMC students would perform significantly better on knowledge tests at the end of their ed...
