Recent developments in cognitive linguistics have highlighted the importance and the ubiquity of metaphors in language. Their effect has been instrumental in making significant headway into the pedagogical practice and design of teaching materials. The current study was carried out to explore the efficacy of focus-on-form (FonF) and focus-on-forms (FonFs) instructions on learning metaphorical l...

The problem we address is practical design of methods for users, especially relatively non-technical end users, to author rules that drive rule-based intelligent agents. We are concerned especially with networked applications of intelligent agents in the realm of information access, e.g., news, mail, Web pages, and the like. For these applications, an important value of intelligent agents is th...

Explicit instruction in a problem-solving strategy accelerated learning not only in the domain where it was taught but also in a second domain where it was not taught. We present data from a study in which students learned two unrelated deductive domains: probability and physics. During the probability instruction, the Strategy group was trained with an Intelligent Tutoring System (ITS) that ex...

This review summarizes the available literature for both instruction and evaluation of the novice dental and dental hygiene preclinical student. Effective instruction for dental and dental hygiene instrumentation requires knowledge of motor skills theory and mechanisms of fine motor skills attainment. The novice learner requires small, explicit steps that clearly define production. Prior to any...

A vital goal of instruction is to enable learners to transfer acquired knowledge to appropriate future situations. For elementary school children in middle-high-SES schools, “explicit” instruction on the Control of Variables Strategy (CVS) has proven to be very effective at promoting transfer, even after time delays, when administered by human instructors [1], [2] and when administered by our c...
