Vygotsky posed a variety of meaningful ideas for education in his short life. This paper focuses on everyday concepts and mathematical concepts or scientific concepts from his theory, reorganizing these ideas according to a new idea of sublated concepts. Using a series of interviews from a third grade fraction class in Japan, the paper discusses how everyday and mathematical concepts arise out ...

1) The facility with numbers and calculations, 2) The art of avoiding unnecessary calculations, 3) Memorizing formulas and theorems, 4) Understanding and finding proofs, 5) Solving problems with well-described procedures, 6) Solving problems for which there are no well-described procedures, 7) Understanding abstract mathematical concepts, 8) Creating new mathematical concepts, and clarifying an...

This mixed-methods study investigates the effects of student attitudes and behaviours on the outcomes of learning mathematics with computer tools. A computer tool was used to help students develop the mathematical concept of function. In the whole sample (N = 521), student attitudes could account for a 3.4 point difference in test scores between individuals on a 10-point scale. General attitude...

When there are many people who don't need to expect something more than the benefits to take, we will suggest you to have willing to reach all benefits. Be sure and surely do to take this intelligent open learning systems concepts models and algorithms 1st edition that gives the best reasons to read. When you really need to get the reason why, this intelligent open learning systems concepts mod...

We have come a long way and finally are about to study calculus. Many of you might have taken some courses in the past where you learned a number of formulas to calculate the derivatives and integrals of certain functions. The purpose of this course, however, is not to memorize these formulas mindlessly. Rather, our goals are to understand the mathematical concepts underlying such formulas and ...

The monitoring of herbaceous fuel moisture content is a crucial activity in order to assess savanna fire risks. Faced with the difficulty of managing wide areas of vegetated surfaces, remote sensing appears an attractive alternative for terrestrial measurements because of its advantages related to temporal resolution and spatial coverage. Earth observation (EO)-based vegetation indices (VIs) an...

This paper presents some experiences in the exploitation of a database interface development architecture in which the interface is implemented using the facilities of the database. It is shown how novel interfaces, specifically a multiparadigm query interface and a debugger for an active rule system, can benefit from and exploit the uniform representation of interface and database system conce...

Recent studies have suggested that educators should avoid concrete instantiations when the goal is to promote transfer. However, concrete instantiations may benefit transfer in the long run, particularly if they are “faded” into more abstract instantiations. Undergraduates were randomly assigned to learn a mathematical concept in one of three conditions: generic, in which the concept was instan...

We investigate the relation between two quantitative measures characterizing short term memory in input driven dynamical systems, namely the short term memory capacity (MC) [3] and the Fisher memory curve (FMC) [2]. We show that even though MC and FMC map the memory structure of the system under investigation from two quite different perspectives, for linear input driven dynamical systems they ...

When writing can change your life, when writing can enrich you by offering much money, why don't you try it? Are you still very confused of where getting the ideas? Do you still have no idea with what you are going to write? Now, you will need reading. A good writer is a good reader at once. You can define how you write depending on what books to read. This intelligent assistant systems concept...
