The trans-contextual model outlines the processes by which autonomous motivation toward activities in a physical education context predicts autonomous motivation toward physical activity outside of school, and beliefs about, intentions toward, and actual engagement in, out-of-school physical activity. In the present article, we clarify the fundamental propositions of the model and resolve some ...

This paper presents a cross-cultural examination of the trans-contextual model in University education setting. The purpose of the study was to test the effect of students’ perceived autonomy support and in-lecture learning motivation on motivation, intention, and behaviour with respect to after-lecture learning via the mediation of the social cognitive variables: attitude, subjective norm, and...

Any curriculum is a construct of perceived social, political and economic needs developed at a point in time. Given that these needs are in a constant state of flux, the curriculum is subjected to periodical renewal and development processes. Gaining more visibility in the iterations of curriculum documentation is the need for Australians to be more aware of their activities impacting on the en...

Simbad is an open source Java 3d robot simulator for scientific and educational purposes. It is mainly dedicated to researchers and programmers who want a simple basis for studying Situated Artificial Intelligence, Machine Learning, and more generally AI algorithms, in the context of Autonomous Robotics and Autonomous Agents. It is is kept voluntarily readable and simple for fast implementation...

Adaptive learning and teaching strategies are increasingly demanded in order to improve the efficiency and effectiveness of the education process, but few adaptive tutoring systems exist which satisfy individual students’ requirements. We have developed a novel use of agent technology using autonomous agents to address the key functions of intelligent tutoring systems, which uses learning style...

autonomy in rural production cooperatives is one of the most important structural changes that influenced by government policies, specially happened in recent decades and in turn affect their performance. but there is ambiguity in the current performance of autonomous cooperatives, in order to be objective and stability. this study was conducted in the hamadan province. the purpose of the resea...

Originated from America, the student-oriented flipped classroom, which focuses on the individual demands and expressions of students, has become a hot topic in education fields in and out of China, along with the development of information technology and updating of teaching ideas. This study attempts to establish a "task driven and ability targeted" flipped classroom mode, with creation class ...

Brain-Computer Interfaces (BCIs) are playing an increasingly important role in a broad spectrum of applications in health, industry, education, and entertainment. We present a novel, mobile and non-invasive BCI for advanced robot control that is based on a brain imaging method known as functional near-infrared spectroscopy (fNIRS). This BCI is based on the concept of “automated autonomous inten...
