The purpose of this article is to introduce and develop an approach educational research oriented, in order to integrate assisted instruction in assisted didactics design, based on a quality-quantity paradigm. In this context, the analysis focuses on a methodological approach, permanently reframed by the conceptual, analytical and theoretical updated frameworks. This manner reflects the version...

The gestures children spontaneously produce when explaining a task predict whether they will subsequently learn that task. Why? Gesture might simply reflect a child's readiness to learn a particular task. Alternatively, gesture might itself play a role in learning the task. To investigate these alternatives, we experimentally manipulated children's gesture during instruction in a new mathematic...

abstract genre-based approach has been the focus of interest in the teaching of language since the mid1980s. genre is defined in terms of the use of language in conventionalized communicative settings. the present study made an attempt to scrutinize the effects of genre-based pedagogy on iranian pre-intermediate efl leaners' reading comprehension as well as the interaction between their re...

In this paper a preliminary work towards grounded robot concept learning through its vision system and human interaction is presented. With a lifelong learning server, introduced in previous work [7], the robot can learn to recognize instances of such concepts as “Person”, “Trash-can” and “Triangle sign” from the Haar wavelet transform of its vision space based on the instruction of a human tea...

In the process of mathematics learning, most elementary students never think but receive all the methods their teachers have taught. In other word, they don’t catch the basic concept in every unit. Based on the Petri-Net theory, this paper designs a guided learning system to correct the mis conception of elementary students. We expect to achieve the best effect of computer-assisted instruction ...

In this paper, I describe an experimental study on the efficacy of concept-based instruction in developing information retrieval skills in undergraduates. The subjects were 254 first-year undergraduates at the University of Canberra, Australia. The study followed the experimental design of a pre-test/post-test control group. The experimental group was taught information retrieval from electroni...

The current study sought to explore the impact of SFL-oriented register instruction on Iranian EFL learner’ writing performance with a central focus on their English proficiency level. As its secondary aim, the study delved deeply into the learners’ perception of the register-based instruction. To these ends, 50 intermediate and 50 advanced Iranian EFL learners were selected randomly and assign...

Endogenous, ideas-led, growth theory and agent based modelling with neighbourhood effects literature are crossed. In an economic overlapping generations framework, it is shown how social interactions and neighbourhood effects are of vital importance in the endogenous determination of the long run number of skilled workers and therefore of the growth prospects of an economy. Neighbourhood effect...
