Santander does not speculate on the reason for these patterns of student membership; in a useful introduction to the dictionary, she describes the form and purpose of the registers she has used, and fills in background details of the medical curriculum and the organization of the faculty. But despite its very real achievements, a historian may well regret that Escolares medicos never goes beyon...

great understanding, attractively produced, with an admirable selection of illustrations, it may well be a means of introducing her achievements to a , wider public. As a student in Birmingham, working under Mr. Catterson-Smith, she learnt to rely on her visual powers rather than on technical skill. Later, as a teacher, she saw that children worked best when painting from their own mental image...

A teachable-agent arithmetic game is presented and evaluated in terms of student performance, attitude and self-efficacy. An experimental prepost study design was used, enrolling 153 3 and 5 grade students in Sweden. The playing group showed significantly larger gains in math performance and self-efficacy beliefs, but not in general attitude towards math, compared to control groups. The contrib...

During the Europe-wide iTEC project, student reflection has been supported through the development of two dedicated digital tools: TeamUp and ReFlex. Using these tools, students are able to monitor their progress, thus gaining a greater awareness of their learning achievements and an appreciation of the new skills they have developed. Although TeamUp and ReFlex have been well-received by teache...

Software architecture is a software engineering field, which deals with the transition from requirements to software design and implementation. The transition has to take into consideration technical and business constraints, existing solutions, and patterns. Software architecture learning can be founded on student projects. The paper presents the problems, challenges, and achievements, encount...

In an attempt to support traditional classroom assessment processes with fully computerized methods, we have developed a method for adaptive assessment suitable for well structured domains with high emphasis on problem solving and capable of robust continuous assessment, potentially encouraging student’s achievements, reflective thinking, and creativity. The method selects problems according to...

A survey of college students from both IS and CS programs was undertaken to understand student recognition and awareness of information security issues in course learning. Comparisons will be made for students before and after taking the security class as well as between the two different majors. The results of the study will demonstrate possible differences in perceptions between students of t...
