Введение. В статье предпринята попытка определить специфику жанра «инструкция по сборке», объединяющего инженерную и дидактическую составляющую. Его цель – регламентировать работу преподавателей-инженеров на занятиях с разновозрастными учащимися. Ранее тексты этого не выступали предметом научного исследования, несмотря то что инструкция как жанр описана в рамках IT-дискурса, педагогического дис...

We present a modular architecture for processing informal mathematical language as found in textbooks and mathematical publications. We point at its properties relevant in addressing three aspects of informal mathematical discourse: (i) the interleaved symbolic and natural language, (ii) the linguistic, domain, and notational context, and (iii) the imprecision of the informal language. The obje...

Researchers and teachers are increasingly in agreement that classrooms should adopt more open-ended, ill-structured, creative problem solving pedagogies (Kapur, 2008). However, we lack sufficient understandings of how to assess the variegated outputs of learning activities that afford students considerable discretion over what they will produce, and of the mechanisms through which group work ca...

The scope and complexity of engineered systems are ever-increasing as burgeoning global markets, unprecedented technological capabilities, rising consumer expectations and ever-changing social requirements present difficult design challenges that often extend beyond the traditional engineering paradigm. These challenges require engineers and technical managers to treat the technological systems...

We theorize a two-mind model of design thinking. Mind 1 is about logical design reasoning, and Mind 2 is about the reflection on our reasoning and judgments. The problem solving ability of Mind 1 has often been emphasized in software engineering. The reflective Mind 2, however, has not received much attention. In this study, we want to find out if Mind 2, or reflection, can improve design disco...

We provide an overview of corpus building efforts at the Jena University Language & Information Engineering (JULIE) Lab, which are focused on life science documents. Special emphasis is laid on semantic annotations in terms of a large amount of biomedical named entities (almost 100 entity types), semantic relations, as well as discourse phenomena, reference relations in particular.

Unlike most natural language processing (NLP) systems, TexUS (Text Understanding System) is being developed as a domain-independent shell, to facilitate the application of language analysis to a variety of tasks and domains of discourse . Our work not only develops robust and generic language analysis capabilities, but also elaborate s knowledge representations, knowledge engineering methods, a...

Background: In a science classroom, students do not simply learn scientific ways of doing, knowing, and reasoning unless they find ways of appropriating scientific discourse. In the Next Generation Science Standards, major forms of scientific discourse are emphasized as a main part of the Science and Engineering Practices. To enhance student engagement in scientific discourse, teachers need to ...
