Competition and Teachability

From educational usability to context-specific teachability

The purpose of this article is to introduce the thematics of my doctoral dissertation research. The study is a part of national KASVA -graduate school (2003-2006) which is funded by Finnish Academy. The aim of the research is to study teachability of the teaching material contents in higher engineering network-based mobile education (NBME). Teachability will be studied in authentic educational ...

On the Limits of Eecient Teachability

Reachable Sets for Linear Dynamical Systems

The properties of reachable sets for linear dynamical systems for specified control sets are discussed. Iterative procedures for determining numerical approximations of the reachable set are suggested and methods of obtaining an admissible control function which transfers an initial state to as near a prescribed target as possible is described. The problem of teachability with multiple control ...

Teachability of a Subclass of Simple Deterministic Languages

We show a subclass of simple deterministic languages which is teachable in polynomial examples. Teachability on grammatical inference is studied with the setting called “identification in the limit from polynomial time and data”, and there are negative results for famous languages. In this paper, we show a learning algorithm from membership queries and counterexamples for a subclass of simple d...

On the Teachability of Communication Strategies

Because a significant proportion of real-life L2 communication is problematic, L2 learners might benefit from instruction on how to cope with performance problems. Such instruction could include the specific teaching of’ communication strategies, which involve various verbal and nonverbal means of dealing with difficulties and breakdowns that occur in everyday communication. Opinions on the tea...
