Research and teaching IT-Security is getting more and more attention in the light of an increasing number of incidents. As the practical application of knowledge and techniques in this area necessitates creative ways of solving complex problems, special attentions has to be payed to the modus operandi of teaching. The teaching efforts of the student IT-Security team of the University of Mannhei...

Faculty development courses related to acquiring clinical teaching skills in the health professions are limited. Consequently, the Department of Dental Hygiene at the University of Texas Health Science Center at San Antonio conducted a series of clinical teaching workshops to address clinical teaching methodology. The goal of these workshops was to promote a problem-solving learning atmosphere ...

The purpose of this study was to explore the predictors of negative attitudes towards learning English from L2 learners’ points of view. A mixed methods research approach was adopted with a sequential exploratory design, followed by an endorsement phase. Eighteen high school students in Fars province (Iran) were interviewed on the sources of negative attitudes towards learning English. Based on...

There has been two main objectives with which the idea to write this paper was started. First of all, to exchange, and hence put in common, the knowledge of different experiences in Italian academic context dealing with teaching of a consolidated but still innovative (at least in Italy) methodology. Secondly, to put in evidence possible pros and cons of each teaching approach in order to better...

With the growing awareness of the importance of teaching and learning in universities and the need to move towards evidence-based teaching, it behooves the professions to re-examine their educational research methodology. While the what, how and why of student learning have become more explicit, the professions still struggle to find valid methods of evaluating the explosion of new innovation i...

A software for the thermal and hydraulic design of shell and tube heat exchangers with flowinduced vibration checks has been developed in a Windows-based Delphi programming environment. Its user-friendly input format and excellent colour graphics features make it an excellent tool for the teaching, learning and preliminary design of shell and tube heat exchangers. Design methodology is based on...

As the complexity of hardware functionality continues to increase, higher abstraction level design methodology becomes much more important. To meet this trend, we have started an exercise class to teach HDL-based hardware design, in 1999, and modified curriculum to teach C-language-based hardware design, in 2002. We have experiences on teaching both HDL-based and C-based hardware design methodo...

In this paper we present a methodology for the teaching of programming applied to an elementary course of the System Engineering career at the Universidad Nacional del Centro de la Provincia de Buenos Aires. This methodology starts with the formal specifications of abstract data types and concludes with an implementation of an efficient algorithm in C++ language. We describe the methodology, an...

Task-based language teaching (TBLT) has been considered as an effective language teaching methodology. However, its applicability for lower-proficiency learners in EFL contexts has not been adequately justified. Moreover, the possible mediating effect of the experiential learning styles on academic listening TBLT has not been targeted in the literature, a gap that this study attempts to fill. T...
