OBJECTIVE This paper shows the importance of the methodization in teaching facial dermal filling on the training of physicians who intend to work or are already working in the area of facial aesthetics. METHODS The methodology is based on the procedures performed in Iz Clinic of Plastic Surgery from 2007 to 2010, where the results of the use of dermal filling products were observed. RESULTS...

Applying technical devices of varying degree of complexity and sophistication with the purpose of diagnostics and treatment has been a hallmark of modern western medicine. Todays’ medical praxis, for instance, relays heavily on CT, MRI, ultrasound, and other complex devices. One example, ever more present during the last decade, is the instrumentation for biomechanical (kinematic, kinetic and E...

The teaching of computer programming is one of the greatest challenges that have remained for years in Computer Science Education. A particular case is computer programming course for the beginners. While the traditional objectivist lecture-based approaches do not actively engage students to achieve their learning outcome, we believe that integrating some cutting-edge processes and practices li...

A teacher-centred pedagogical approach and a technical content disconnected with real world industry applications are two of the main causes that explain a low motivation in engineering studies. This work proposes a learner-centred interactive methodology together with a project-based teaching to overcome both problems and achieve a life-long learning. The proposed methodology is successfully a...

This paper discuses a new approach for teaching of system level digital design and verification by using Split Algorithmic State Machines. The proposed approach enables parallel representation of complex digital systems. At the same time, it provides verification of the system at the early stage of the design by using a spreadsheet-based simulation.

In this paper we examine the barriers to using ICT of secondary mathematics teachers in the classroom. The sample contained 114 mathematics teachers from public secondary schools in New South Wales (Australia). The instrument used in this study was a survey questionnaire mailed to secondary schools in the New South Wales Department of Education and Training. The questionnaire design is a closed...

It is recognized that the factorial approach first introduced by R.A. Fisher is the correct and scientific approach in conducting multi-factored experiments. In this paper, an approach that uses specially designed toys and software that allow students to conduct multi-factored experiments, analyze the data collected, and do follow-up experiments, is described. Several physical and software toys...

Assignments of Construction Management (CM) graduate programmes often require students to carry out research on real-world problems. To prepare students for this task, many CM-programmes contain a research methodology course. However, after taking part in these courses, many students still lack the ability to define the scope of their research problem and to find an appropriate research design....

In this paper we present the results from a class room setting based experiment to test the validity of the bottom up technique employed in teaching concepts in the domain of computer programming like branching, looping, nested looping, procedures, recursion, etc. Programming knowledge concepts are generally taught in an order of increasing complexity of comprehension, like branching before loo...

Abstract thinking is a vital skill when learning computer science. Object technology and the concepts it is based upon make this skill even more crucial. However, previous research works show that students in top universities as well as experienced practitioners in industry encounter difficulties in thinking in abstract terms while practicing object oriented development. In this paper we sugges...
