the present study intended to look into and compare the possible effects of competitive team-based learning (ctbl) with learning together (lt) or cooperative group-based learning (cgbl) – the most popular method of cooperative learning (cl) -- on oral performance of iranian efl intermediate students. after administering the oral interview, this researcher selected a group of 40 almost homogeneo...

The study of human bioscience is viewed as a crucial curriculum in allied health. Nevertheless, bioscience (and particularly physiology) is notoriously difficult for undergraduates, particularly academically disadvantaged students. So endemic are the high failure rates (particularly in nursing) that it has come to be known as "the human bioscience problem." In the present report, we describe th...

Field Robot Event is an annual student competition for small field robots. A Field Robot project has been seen as a motivating challenge for project-based learning as it results to a working prototype. In Finland the team has consisted of students from different major subjects (mechatronics, automation and agricultural engineering) and interdisciplinary educational goals have been set: 1) to le...

conclusions the results of this study indicated that there was willingness and a need to share knowledge and skills with other undergraduates as a way of resolving clinical problems at tums. thus, implementing shared learning programs could promote the quality of provided patient care via increasing the teamwork and communication skills of the undergraduate students. background current evidence...

Background: In regard to enhancement of efficiency and productivity of an organization in terms of teamwork, it is necessary to shift to team-centered approach for increasing confidence in health care systems. Therefore it is needed to assess effect of the academic training on students' viewpoint in team working. Methods: This was a cross-sectional study and was done in Kurdistan University of ...

introduction: in this study, the authors aimed to examine the effects of cooperative learning methods using web quest and team-based learning on students’ self-direction, self-regulation, and academic achievement. methods: this is a comparative study of students taking a course in mental health and psychiatric disorders. in two consecutive years, a group of students were trained using the web q...

The paper presents two useful extensions of the incremental SVM in the context of online learning. An online support vector data description algorithm enables application of the online paradigm to unsupervised learning. Furthermore, online learning can be used in the large-scale classification problems to limit the memory requirements for storage of the kernel matrix. The proposed algorithms ar...

 Background: Team-based learning (TBL) is a structured type of cooperative learning that has growing application in medical education. This study compares levels of student learning and teaching satisfaction for a neurology course between conventional lecture and team-based learning. Methods: The study incorporated 70 students aged 19 to 22 years at the school of rehabilitation. One half ...
