eaching and learning are complementary processes that are most effective when teachers and students employ compatible methods and when their goals are aligned. Four “spherical cows,” metaphors for implicit assumptions made about key teaching and learning concepts, are explored. Explicit conceptualizations, drawn from selected research and theory and based on the understanding that knowledge is ...

Initiation of movements and control of body posture depend on multiple interconnected neuronal networks located in the cortex and in other regions of the encephalon. The activity of these networks eventually converges toward the primary motor cortex wherein primary motor neurons project to multiple nuclei and to the spinal cord and innervate local spinal motor circuitries. Interestingly, wherea...

Five commercially available encryption packages for the IBM PC are described and broken.

introduction. evaluation of scholastic achievment is an important part of the educational process. therefore assessment principles, methods and practices must be entirely compatible with education objectives. the previous studies have indicated that at most medical colleges evaluation methods are monotonous. these traditional methods are neither profitable nor appropriate to assess the clinical...

The paper discusses the development of an IBM PC based tool, for calculating train braking distances for various train classes on a rail network. There is discussion on current industry practice and the limitations of that practice, the concept of the tool itself, including the assumptions made, the strategy adopted to minimise the risk of incorrect calculations, and the results of adopting tha...

A further commercially available encryption package for the IBM PC is analysed, and a simple breaking program is described.

Brain imaging studies demonstrate increasing activity in limb motor areas during early motor skill learning, consistent with functional reorganization occurring at the motor output level. Nevertheless, behavioral studies reveal that visually guided skills can also be learned with respect to target location or possibly eye movements. The current experiments examined motor learning under compatib...
