The purpose of this study was to develop a futsal ball thrower for skill training in game. development conducted order advance the previous machine which already existed be more maximum helping athlete exercising skills. developed equipped with: 1) A basket can storage 5 balls; 2) various speed ejection; 3) Two ejection heads angle set up; 4) Manual and automatic operation; 5) Flexibility that ...

As the focus of Australian educational research has shifted to studying the quality of teacher intervention, the notion of scaffolding is becoming increasingly popular among educators in different areas such as literacy and numeracy, early childhood education and educational psychology for adults. Vygotskian socio-cultural psychology, and the zone of proximal development (ZPD) in particular, is...

The vertebrate egg coat, including mammalian zona pellucida, is an oocyte-specific extracellular matrix comprising two to six zona pellucida (ZP) glycoproteins. The egg coat plays important roles in fertilization, especially in species-specific interactions with sperm to induce the sperm acrosome reaction and to form the block to polyspermy. It is suggested that the physiological functions of t...

The Zone of Proximal Development is an appealing and persuasive idea for those concerned with how best to help learners learn. In essence the ZPD requires collaboration or assistance for a learner from another more able partner. The need for this more able learning partner arises from the belief that the activities which form a part of the child’s education must be beyond the range of her indep...

This paper proposes a testcase recommendation system (TRS) to assist beginner-level learners in introductory programming courses with completing assignments on learning management (LMS). These often struggle generate complex testcases and handle numerous code errors, leading disengaging their attention from the study. The proposed TRS addresses this problem by applying using singular value deco...

This study represents an effort to construct a learning framework for knowledge building and collective wisdom advancement in a virtual learning community (VLC) from the perspectives of system wholeness, intelligence wholeness and dynamics, learning models, and knowledge management. It also tries to construct the zone of proximal development (ZPD) of VLCs based on the combination of Vygotsky’s ...

PURPOSE This study describes the typical case of problem-based learning (PBL) application at the Faculty of Medicine of the Université de Montréal and its analysis from the perspective of situated cognition. METHOD I used a typical case study to determine the general model of PBL application and performed my analysis by a global processing of information, against to the conceptual model of si...

In this paper, we propose a computational approach to model the Zone of Proximal Development (ZPD) using predicted probabilities of correctness while students engage in reflective dialogue. We employ a predictive model that uses a linear function of a variety of parameters, including difficulty and student knowledge, as students use a natural-language tutoring system that presents conceptual re...

The present paper concentrates on a web-based inquiry in the synchronous computer-mediated communication (SCMC) via Web 2.0 technologies of Talk and Write and Skype. It investigates EFL learners’ socio-cognitive progress through dynamic assessment (DA), which follows Vygotsky’s inclination for supportive interchange in the zone of proximal development. Sixty adult EFL learners at upper-intermed...
