چکیده
Different life forms have been gifted with a different mix of powers to sense the physical world and interact amongst themselves. Intra-species Interaction among all life forms is psycho-physiologically essential and natural. Most primitive forms like amoeba can sense the environment only by physical touch, whereas advanced life forms have more senses. Man has been gifted with five senses to register some characteristics of the physical world. Though other animals specially mammals and birds also have five senses, the resolution, accuracy , range and bandwidth of each sense differs in different species. Because of the great gift of an advanced brain to man, his psychological needs for interaction and communication far exceed the physiological reasons. A very significant amount of human effort is targeted towards pursuit of knowledge. Pedagogical communication is the most important form of formal communication. Fast growing corpus of human knowledge offers interesting communication design challenges to academicians and designers.

متن کاملAppropriate Responses to the Challenge of Situated Cognition for Knowledge Acquisition
The dominant knowledge modeling paradigm in the KA eld assumes that old knowledge expressed symbolically (i.e. problem-solving strategies or ontologies) is a productivity tool for building new knowledge bases. That is, it assumes that knowledge is context-independent. Researchers of situated cognition (SC) claims that knowledge is mostly context-dependent and that concepts elicited prior to dir...
متن کاملDiCoT: A Methodology for Applying Distributed Cognition to the Design of Teamworking Systems
Distributed Cognition is growing in popularity as a way of reasoning about group working and the design of artefacts within work systems. DiCoT (Distributed Cognition for Teamwork) is a methodology and representational system we are developing to support distributed cognition analysis of small team working. It draws on ideas from Contextual Design, but re-orients them towards the principles tha...
متن کامل(Non)native Language Teachers’ Cognitions: Are They Dichotomous?
In view of native/nonnative language teacher dichotomy, different characteristics have been assigned to these 2 groups. The dichotomy has been the source of different actions and measures to clarify the positive and negative points of being (non)native teachers. In recent years, many researchers have revisited this dichotomy. The challenge to the dichotomy can be a source of motivation to explo...
