Learner reflection has been found important and valuable, especially in cognitively intensive tasks, such as learning programming. This paper presents, K-Assess, a programming education system that facilitates student self-evaluation and promotes learner reflection. It is built on top of an existing conventional programming teaching system by adding a pragmatic knowledge layer. Our evaluations ...

We introduce a new version of the pronunciation software program WinPitch LTL. This completely redesigned version is much more easier to use by the teacher and learner alike, and contains the regular function of prosodic real time display, variable speed playback, prosodic morphing, on screen teacher comment display, etc. New features include video capabilities (the program can process multimed...

We consider the problem of learning a finite automaton M of n states with input alphabet X and output alphabet Y when a teacher has helpfully or randomly labeled the states of M using labels from a set L. The learner has access to label queries; a label query with input string w returns both the output and the label of the state reached by w. Because different automata may have the same output ...

BACKGROUND Many general practitioners accept vocational registrars and medical students into their practice. Giving feedback to students on their work performance is an essential component of teaching in general OBJECTIVE This article examines the central role of feedback in the teaching of medical students and registrars and provides practical guidelines on how to provide feedback in the set...

A socio-cultural theory of learning places importance on the social and cultural context of the learning as well as the interaction between a more expert other and the learner. Scaffolding at the level of interaction may be defined as micro-scaffolding, and support which can be found in the context of the learning can be referred to as macroscaffolding. This paper reports on research carried ou...

Mathematics teaching in a foreign language may lead to discrimination for some learners specifically during trouble-spots that require the construction of shared-nderstanding. This research compares teacher-learner interaction two classrooms Lebanon where mathematics is taught language. Eighteen lessons were recorded and transcribed, utterances teacher coded at levels of: school; session; inter...

This study reports on factors that limit the participation of blind and partially sighted learners in mathematics and science education. Since the teacher, still remains one of the most crucial factors in any education system, the researcher deemed it important to investigate the role of the teacher as understood by a blind technician in promoting the participation of blind and partially sighte...
