In my dissertation, I examine novel knowledge discovery in the context of organizational learning. Novel knowledge, defined as knowledge that is potentially strategically important to the organization, not currently known to the organization, indirectly relevant and therefore difficult to find, is proposed to be one of three different types of knowledge that organizations seek to discover in th...

Mobile technology promises to enhance and better support students’ learning. The exploration and adoption of appropriate pedagogies that enhance learning is crucial for the wider adoption of mobile learning. An increasing number of studies have started to address how existing learning theory can be used to underpin and better frame mobile learning activities. In particular, there are a number o...

Learning domain theories is an important challenge for qualitative reasoning. We describe a method for learning new domain theories by analogy. We use analogies between pairs of problems and worked solutions to create a mapping between the familiar and the new domains, and use this mapping to conjecture general knowledge about the new domain. After some knowledge has been learned about the new ...

memory is not a single entity. it is a gift of mother nature, the ability of living organisms to retain and to utilize acquired knowl- edge. memory is precisely related to learning, in that memory in biolog- ical systems entails learning and that learning implies retention of such information. memory can be divided into multifaceted systems. the renaissance of encephalon compatible learning app...

One of the most nervous system evolution are memory and learning in humans. Learning is a skill that enhances synaptic activity in the hippocampus of prefrontal cortex. In fact, basic passive learning is communication between the conditioned and Unconditioned stimulation. Passive learning involves three steps: habit, education and remember. According to the results of investigations, the hippoc...

BACKGROUND More empirical work is needed to examine the dimensionality of personal epistemology and relations between those dimensions and motivational and strategic components of self-regulated learning. In particular, there is great need to investigate personal epistemology and its relation to self-regulated learning across cultures and academic contexts. Because the demarcation between perso...

Most of firms design products by using several resources such human resources and tools, to sell these products to customers regardless to design the products for learning objectives. Based upon several endeavors realized in the academic and hands-on activities this paper presents the three basic theories underlined to the notion of design for learning and teaching c knowledge, design, and lear...
