This paper might be described as an attempt to discuss a practical methodology based on Pedagogic Stylistic approach for the teaching of literature as subject in undergraduate /Post graduate classes in India. It is also significant that we need to examine how a stylistic approach for the teaching of literature is of particular value for the study of literature as a subject in India's ESL situat...

In condensed matter physics and related areas, topological defects play important roles in phase transitions and critical phenomena. Homotopy theory facilitates the classification of such topological defects. After a pedagogic introduction to the mathematical methods involved in topology and homotopy theory, the role of the latter in a number of mainly low-dimensional statistical-mechanical sys...

This paper examines the requirements for eLearning Object Metadata, in order to appropriately support pedagogic and economic goals as well as service oriented architectures like the Grid. The standard IEEE LOM is being tested against these requirements. In conclusion, it can be said that while current eLearning practices are well supported by the standard, the main insufficiencies concern a) th...

chemical foundation of these disciplines. The author avoids the principal pedagogic sin of talking, in an equal tone of voice, of subjects of widely varying importance. This is clearly one man's account, but it is balanced, reasonable, and so lucid that one can read it with pleasure. It is a pity that the production of the book is not of as high a standard as its contents. In the review copy a ...

An authoritative report into the teaching and learning of geometry argued, amongst other things, that the most significant contribution to improvements in geometry teaching are to be made by the development of good models of pedagogy, supported by carefully designed activities and resources. This paper considers approaches to the teaching of geometry developed in China and Japan and reviews wha...

One of the challenges in medical education is to teach the decision-making process. This learning process varies according to the experience of the student and can be supported by various tools. In this paper we present several approaches that can strengthen this mechanism, from decision-support tools, such as scoring systems, Bayesian models, neural networks, to cognitive models that can repro...

OSVIRA (Ontology-based System for Semantic Visioconference Information Retrieval and Annotation) is a system devoted to the development of help to the annotation and to the semantic research of multimedia videoconferencing resources. It is founded on the use of dense ontology associated with a thesaurus. OSVIRA allows to describe semantically the content of a pedagogic multimedia resources on t...

The paper presents some new features that have been introduced in the last years to the course Automatic Control Fundamentals at the FCFT STU in Bratislava. These involve intensive use of information and communication technologies and reduction of repetitive pedagogic work using e-learning techniques. The work also shows how to employ MATLAB as a scripting engine coupled with XML technology to ...

as "a work on education based on medicine and hygiene," now as "one dealing with those pedagogic reforms which appear to be necessary from the viewpoint of medicine and hygiene," and again as "a presentation of that medico-hygienic scientific material which the pedagog cannot forego using in the rational exercise of his profession." This sort of presentation, if we are not mistaken, has already...
