Treffinger Strategy is a framework that focuses on developing creativity and problem-solving skills in students. One of the main problems related to achievement identified by this model overemphasis standardized testing rote memorization. It designed help individuals develop their cognitive metacognitive abilities, enabling them become more effective problem solvers achievers. The aim study inv...

Learning languages is inevitably related to one’s learning culture and patterns. Despite the existence of different language strategies in Indonesia, students’ achievements general show unsatisfying facts. Several patterns have potential stymie foreign-language at particular educational levels. Those are accumulation a long traditions practices teaching foreign languages. This study examined Fr...

Memorization is a key cognitive process of the brain because almost all human intelligence is functioning based on it. This paper presents a neuroinformatics theory of memory and a cognitive process of memorization. Cognitive informatics foundations and functional models of memory and memorization are explored toward a rigorous explanation of memorization. The cognitive process of memorization ...

Many lessons can be learned from relevant research in vocabularyand language-learning strategy training as well as from comparative studies of those learning Oriental languages, which could greatly help language teachers and learners in Kanji-background countries. This article contrasts the minimal threshold levels of vocabulary needed for reading common English text, versus that required for r...

Assigning projects in an undergraduate operating systems course that includes a mix of software development students and information technology students, many without a background in assembly language and machine architecture, can be challenging. Assigning low level simulation code or operating system modules can lead to frustration and failure for some students. Also, that approach takes too l...

Much research has been conducted to document and sometimes to provide proximate explanations (e.g., Confucianism vs. Western philosophy) for East–West cultural differences. The ultimate evolutionary mechanisms underlying these cross-cultural differences have not been addressed. We propose in this review that East–West cultural differences (e.g., independent versus interdependent self construal;...

In 6 experiments, the authors examined the use of prior knowledge in category learning. Previous studies of the effects of knowledge on category learning have used categories in which knowledge was related to all of the category's features. However, people's knowledge of real-world categories often consists of many "rote" features that are not related to their prior knowledge. Five experiments ...

Most of the studies on the key word method of second/foreign language vocabulary learning have been based on the evidence from laboratory experiments and have primarily involved the use of English key words to learn the vocabularies of other languages. Furthermore, comparatively quite limited number of such studies is done in authentic classroom contexts. The present study inquired into the eff...

In order to better understand academic achievement among deaf and hard-of-hearing students in different educational placements, an exploratory study examined the experiences of postsecondary students enrolled in mainstream programs (with hearing students) versus separate programs (without hearing students) at the same institution. The Course Experience Questionnaire, the Revised Approaches to S...

Information and Communication Technologies (ICT) in mathematical education is a very active field of research and innovation, where learning is understood to be meaningful and grasping multiple linked representation rather than rote memorization, a great amount of literature offering a wide range of theories, learning approaches, methodologies and interpretations, are generally stressing the po...
