Darwin provided us with a powerful theoretical framework to explain the evolution of living systems. Natural selection alone, however, has sometimes been seen as insufficient emergence new levels selection. The problem is one “circularity” for evolutionary explanations: how origins Darwinian properties without already invoking their presence at level they emerge. That is, does by natural commen...

The concept of scaffolding is generally invoked to refer to the ways in which a more expert individual assists a child by performing a part a task or by otherwise directing or supporting a child’s task-related actions. A coactive systems model of development provides a framework for examining other ways in which person-environment relations may scaffold development. From a coactive systems view...

An experimental study was conducted to investigate the effects of question prompts and peer review on scaffolding students’ problem-based learning in a web-based cognitive support system. Ninety-six pharmacy students were randomly assigned to a treatment or control condition. The students in both conditions were asked to generate solutions to a real-world problem on clinical communication in a ...

Research on Computer Supported Collaborative Learning (CSCL) is deeply rooted in constructivism and focuses on the role of peer collaboration in learning and development. Whereas important insights have been obtained on collaboration mechanisms and the role of task design, the role of the teacher has not been considered with the same intensity. This study reports on first findings from qualitat...

background: despite more than a decade experience of annual student congresses in iran, major scientific writing weakness still exists in students’ abstracts submitted to the annual research congress of iran’s medical sciences students (arcimss). assessment of these abstracts can provide information on common scientific writing errors and subsequent development of abstract quality for the futur...

New pervasive, social, and mobile technologies hold great potential for supporting young people’s connections between interests, peer culture, and academic pursuits. Such connected learning experiences are critical for deep and engaged learning. However, efforts to identify and sustain ways to connect these experiences for learners remain elusive. In this study, we shed light on how we can init...
