This study was an analytical account of EFL postgraduate learners’ use of verbs in citing other scholars in their own writing. Particular interest was differing extents of these verbs as categorised by Myer (1997), namely verbs representing statement of scholarly writing, verbs communicating knowledge of scholarly writing, and verbs denoting cognition of scholarly writing, each of which has sub...

Sensorimotor cortex has a role in procedural learning. Previous studies suggested that this learning is subserved by long-term potentiation (LTP), which is in turn maintained by the persistently active kinase, protein kinase Mzeta (PKMzeta). Whereas the role of PKMzeta in animal models of declarative knowledge is established, its effect on procedural knowledge is not well understood. Here we sh...

The effect of the knowledge acquisition bottleneck is still limiting the widespread use of knowledge-based systems (KBS), especially in the area of model-tracing tutors, as they demand the development of deep domain expertise, tutoring and student models. The MATHESIS meta-knowledge engineering framework for model-tracing tutors, presented in this article, aims at maximizing knowledge reuse. Th...

OBJECTIVE The goal of this study was to assess the effect of high-fidelity simulation (HFS) pediatric resuscitation training on resident performance and self-reported experience compared with historical controls. METHODS In this case-control study, pediatric residents at a tertiary academic children's hospital participated in a 16-hour HFS resuscitation curriculum. Primary outcome measures in...

INTRODUCTION Team training for procedural sedation for pediatric residents has traditionally consisted of didactic presentations and simulated scenarios using high-fidelity mannequins. We assessed the effectiveness of a virtual reality module in teaching preparation for and management of sedation for procedures. METHODS After developing a virtual reality environment in Second Life® (Linden La...

introduction: objective structured clinical examination (osce) is used for the evaluation of the clinical competence in medicine for which it is essential to measure validity and reliability. this study aimed to investigate the validity and reliability of osce for residents of obstetrics and gynecology at kermanshah university of medical sciences in 2011. methods: a descriptive-correlation stud...

Educational interventions are a promising way to shift individual behaviors towards Sustainability. Yet, as this research confirms, the standard fare of education, declarative knowledge, does not work. This study statistically analyzes the impact of an intervention designed and implemented in Mexico using the Educating for Sustainability (EfS) framework which focuses on imparting procedural and...

This article reports on a qualitative case study that explored the use of Kumaravadivelu’s “Knowing, Analyzing, Recognizing, Doing, Seeing” model as teacher evaluation tool to identify critical and reflective aspects teachers’ practices for their professional development. The participants were nine English language teachers students at Colombian university. Teacher survey responses, journals, o...

This paper reports on progress towards a tool for the representation of shared, procedural and declarative knowledge whose aim is to be used for various functions to do with the automation of a complex process control application primarily to guide the response phase during an emergency situation, but also for supporting normal automated operation. The tool is a Knowledge Engineering Web Interf...

This paper presents the first framework for integrating procedural knowledge, or “know-how”, into the Linked Data Cloud. Knowhow available on the Web, such as step-by-step instructions, is largely unstructured and isolated from other sources of online knowledge. To overcome these limitations, we propose extending to procedural knowledge the benefits that Linked Data has already brought to repre...
