While machine learning (ML) gives rise to astonishing results in automated systems, it is usually at the cost of large data requirements. This makes many successful algorithms from ML unsuitable for human-machine interaction, where must learn a small number training samples that can be provided by user within reasonable time frame. Fortunately, tailor they create as useful possible, severely li...

We propose and study a new intelligent teaching paradigm called active teaching in this paper. In contrast to active learning, we assume that the learner can only passively conduct inductive learning from the given examples, but the teacher (oracle) can actively provide “good” examples to the learner, in order to speed up the teaching (learning) process. We establish the framework with four spe...

BACKGROUND The traditional lecture is used by many residency programs to fulfill the mandate for regular didactic sessions, despite limited evidence to demonstrate its effectiveness. Active teaching strategies have shown promise in improving medical knowledge but have been challenging to implement within the constraints of residency training. We developed and evaluated an innovative structured ...

Background: Failure in reaching the predetermined goals of education can be considered as one of the most important problems of educational systems. Today, it is believed that active teaching methods are more effective than lecturing which lead to effective teaching. Participation of students in education is one of the major factors of active learning. The purpose of the present study is to det...

This research project examines the differences between two teaching methods in the teaching of mathematics—active teaching and traditional teaching—in special education classes in standard elementary schools in the Arab sector of Israel. The differences examined are related to the advancement of scholastic achievements in mathematics, both from the aspect of understanding the study materials an...

language textbooks are conventionally expected to develop the four language macro-skills, including listening, reading, writing and speaking in language learners. however, mastering the reading skill is of particular importance, since it enhances the comprehension of specialized texts in students. the objective of this research is to investigate the scientific aspect of persian textbooks in tea...

when we speak of “training by means of questions”, as the most widespread form of training in language teaching, the question of self-assessment is more than ever vying for attention. self-assessment is an active rational strategy of on-the-job training, which allows teachers to identify ways of improving their job skills. in this article, we intend to offer a pedagogical reflection, which, b...
