This summer, Europe's Journal of Psychology hosts a fruitful discussion about phenomenology, its method, the possibilities of application in today's context and its current troubled waters stemming from recent historical-ideological debates. Prof. Roberta De Monticelli offers lush and informative answers to provocative issues like overdriving the epoché, Heidegger's dark undertones, the relatio...

Current computer-based tools for writing instruction show high scoring accuracy but uncertain instructional efficacy. One explanation is that these systems may not effectively communicate valid and appropriate formative feedback. In this paper, we describe an exploratory method for developing feedback algorithms that are grounded in writing pedagogy. The resulting threshold algorithms are shown...

This pedagogy-oriented system complements modeling, simulation, visualization, and analysis with software engineering and software quality assurance, as well as scientific method, to provide students a hands-on, holistic experience of real-world software development and evaluation. It provides a highly extensible virtual test range for designing, building, and evaluating a variety of military p...

Reconciliating the logics of Post-method Era, Critical Pedagogy, and Sociocultural Theory in its conceptual framework, this study postulated Iranian EFL teachers’ socio-pedagogical identity as comprising conformity, criticality, and conformity-criticality mediation in order to explore and model the different aspects of Iranian EFL teachers’ “transformative teaching self,” probably contributing ...

Since ‘the development of whole person’ was brought to the focus of attention by humanist psychologists as a central concern in educational theory, affective variables have been assumed to have a significant share in the learning process that goes on in a pedagogical setting. Meanwhile, the process of second language development, because of the very nature of language as a vehicle for communica...

The book presents a new study on the Soviet Union's Higher Art and Technical Studios, known as Vkhutemas, their pioneering curriculum that has been source of inspiration for generations architects, designers, artists until present day. processes institutionalizing avant-garde, integrating architecture science, teaching praxis are analyzed. experimental methodology pedagogical process is highlig...

Background in singing pedagogy. Learning to sing involves mastery of basic motor and sensory skills combined with an understanding of relevant musical parameters (dynamics, articulation etc.) and assimilation of appropriate behavioural, sociological, cultural and aesthetic information. Traditional singing teaching methods typically use modelling and verbal feedback in a one-on-one learning situ...

We can adapt existing techniques for the statistical modeling of music to the modeling of the quality of musical performance, resulting in a fine-grained statistical understanding of ’hardness’ in music performance. This drives AI-assisted applications for improving skill. We present modeling results using various probabilistic models to model performance in the simplified setting of rhythm games.

Successful communication between a teacher and a student is at the core of pedagogy. A well known example of a pedagogical dialog is 'Meno', a socratic lesson of geometry in which a student learns (or 'discovers') how to double the area of a given square 'in essence, a demonstration of Pythagoras' theorem. In previous studies we found that after engaging in the dialog participants can be divide...
