Digital educational resources could enable the use of randomized experiments to answer pedagogical questions that instructors care about, taking academic research out of the laboratory and into the classroom. We take an instructorcentered approach to designing tools for experimentation that lower the barriers for instructors to conduct experiments. We explore this approach through DynamicProble...

This pedagogical review illustrates the differences between pharmacokinetic (PK) and pharmacodynamic (PD) measures, using insulin therapy as the primary example. The main conclusion is that PD parameters are of greater clinical significance for insulin therapy than PK parameters. The glucose-clamp technique, the optimal method for determining insulin PD, is explained so that the reader can unde...

the study of teachers’ pedagogical knowledge base (pkb) to discover how teachers think and work is attracting increasing attention in elt. against this background, the present study aimed at probing the likely variations in efl teachers’ pedagogical knowledge base as a function of their teaching license status. to this aim, six teachers (two standard-licensed, two alternatively-licensed, and tw...

Geographic information systems (GIS) education is at a crossroads in the United States. Since its inception in the early 1990s, GIS has diffused slowly into select groups of K-12 classrooms through the efforts of geography and environmental educators. However, many of the assumptions underpinning the initial period of enthusiasm for the technology are now being questioned. This paper reviews is...

Mobile devices are everywhere and mobile learning has emerged as a potential educational environment; however it is relatively new to Cyprus educational system. The purpose of this research work is to assess and determine the readiness; and evaluate the viability of integrating mobile technology in Cyprus higher education level. To address the above, a mixed method approach is employed making u...

Using data from the Teaching and Learning International Survey (TALIS; 2013), this article explores teachers’ needs, support, barriers in their professional development. The research finds that Australian teachers expressed greater needs information communication technology (ICT) use new training for teaching, while Shanghai required more assistance to satisfy students’ individual learning peda...

This paper presents the multimedia product for teaching Natural Sciences to 10-12 years old children. In this product three pedagogical agents, Teacher and two pupils guide the learner through the virtual environment. The inclusion of a team of pedagogical agents permits us to create a micro-model of lesson activity and gives a reliable support of individual learner differences. The script-base...

The successful adoption of technologies in classrooms, we argue, relies on a greater emphasis on content-related pedagogical models for technology enhanced learning design. We propose the content-first design, an approach to creating content sample in the one-to-one classroom—classrooms with a wireless enabled computing device available for each student. To demonstrate this design approach, we ...
