Introducing RCTM (Research-Centered Teaching Method) by the author showed the method provokes enthusiasm and anxiety, correlated with cognition: Cognition = (0.27) enthusiasm– (0.15) not interested + (0.08) anxiety. “The broaden-and-build theory” (Fredrickson, 2001) posits that positive emotions are useful in several ways. By linking this theory and emotional intelligence theory, it becomes app...

Educators must reassess overall western teaching approaches in English teaching students in different language and cultural backgrounds. Although a westernized communicative teaching approach is ideal to implement language teaching, some Asian students are conservative to adopt or adapt it in their own English language learning. Accordingly, an adapted English teaching approach may be innovated...

The variety of didactic methods and approaches to teaching, which can stimulate and unlock learning potential, is recognised as influence of pluralist teaching. Pluralism in teaching is determined by various methods which can improve the quality of learning and make teaching more active, interesting, of high-quality and complete. The authors of this paper wanted to examine which teaching strate...

This article will discuss the different view of learning and teaching within the subject of Geoinformatics. On the basis of the e-learning environment geoinformation.net, the different views of problem oriented teaching will be described and illustrated with their realisation in this specific platform. The article will end with some remarks which research areas should be addressed in future whi...

We study the label complexity of pool-based active learning in the PAC model with noise. Taking inspiration from extant literature on Exact learning with membership queries, we derive upper and lower bounds on the label complexity in terms of generalizations of extended teaching dimension. Among the contributions of this work is the first nontrivial general upper bound on label complexity in th...

Although nature evolves its catalysts over millions of years, enzyme engineers try to do it a bit faster. Enzyme active sites provide highly optimized microenvironments for the catalysis of biologically useful chemical transformations. Consequently, changes at these centers can have large effects on enzyme activity. The prediction and control of these effects provides a promising way to access ...

In the first part of this work, a brief literature review is made on the issue of what is meant by “successful teaching experience”. Research has provided evidence for specific components that influence “success” namely beliefs for self-efficacy, feedback, possibility for student self-regulation and active participation, possibility for inquiry, collaboration, differentiation in ways of student...

Abstract Background: Teachers' conceptions of learning and teaching are important for faculty development to result in enduring changes in teaching practices. Until now, studies on these conceptions have mostly focused on traditional, lecture-based curricula rather than on small-group student-centred educational formats, which are gaining ground worldwide. Aim: To explore which factors predict ...
