Learning with Technology: Similarities in Mathematics & Writing
نویسندگان
چکیده
In this paper, we will identify similarities in the learning and the creative process using technology in mathematics and writing at the college level and draw a parallel. Specifically, we will examine the parallel on learning symbolic representations at different levels with special attention to how controversial technologies--such as numeric, graphic, and symbolic calculators in math or word processors, spell checkers, grammar checkers, and graphic organizers in writing--help learning. We identify comparable learning variables in writing and mathematics using a theoretical model. Finally, we present specific parallel examples in solving problems in mathematics and in the writing process using technology.

متن کاملCycle Time Optimization of Processes Using an Entropy-Based Learning for Task Allocation
Cycle time optimization could be one of the great challenges in business process management. Although there is much research on this subject, task similarities have been paid little attention. In this paper, a new approach is proposed to optimize cycle time by minimizing entropy of work lists in resource allocation while keeping workloads balanced. The idea of the entropy of work lists comes fr...
متن کاملIranian EFL Learners’ Perception of the Efficacy and Affordance of Activity Theory-based Computer Assisted Language Learning in Writing Achievement
Second language writing instruction has been greatly influenced by the growing importance of technology and the recent shift of paradigm from a cognitive to a social orientation in second language acquisition (Lantolf & Thorne, 2006). Therefore, the applications of computer assisted language learning and activity theory have been suggested as a promising framework for writing studies. The prese...
متن کاملA production-inventory model with permissible delay incorporating learning effect in random planning horizon using genetic algorithm
This paper presents a production-inventory model for deteriorating items with stock-dependent demand under inflation in a random planning horizon. The supplier offers the retailer fully permissible delay in payment. It is assumed that the time horizon of the business period is random in nature and follows exponential distribution with a known mean. Here learning effect is also introduced for th...
