Identifying students’ difficulties in understanding Gauss’s and Ampere’s laws is important for developing educational strategies that promote an expertlike of the field concept Maxwell’s equations electromagnetic phenomena. This study aims to analyze compare symmetry when applying calculate electric or magnetic field. We conducted a how students reason regarding conditions necessary apply three...

John Woods and Brent Hudak’s theory on arguments by analogy (1989), although correct in its meta-argumentative approach, gives rise to problems when we consider the possibility of weighing reasons. I contend that this is an outcome construing relationship between premises conclusion compared argumentation as inferences. An interpretation terms reasons proposed here. The reasons-based approach s...

Social Comparison is important as it can be either encouraging or discouraging for the person who makes it. Although studies concerning social comparison in the classroom context abound, few deal with the relationship between the role of social comparison orientation and tendencies in academic achievement in a competition based educational context. Adopting a non- experimental ex-post facto des...

Three experiments investigated the use of verb argument structure by tracking participants' eye movements across a set of related pictures as they listened to sentences. The assumption was that listeners would naturally look at relevant pictures as they were mentioned or implied. The primary hypothesis was that a verb would implicitly introduce relevant entities (linguistic arguments) that had ...

PlotGroups Function for plotting gene expression profile at different experimental groups Description This function displays the gene expression profile for each experimental group in a time series gene expression experiment. Arguments data vector or matrix containing the gene expression data edesign matrix describing experimental design. Rows must be arrays and columns experiment descriptors t...

Verbal arguments can be divided into two different types: those that are true arguments of the verb and those that are "additional" in the sense that there is evidence that they do not belong to the basic argument structure of the verb. Theories of argument structure are largely theories about how these additional arguments are introduced, but at present few such theories propose explicit mecha...

In the present study, 96 co-residing mothers of adolescents and adults with an autism spectrum disorder (ASD) participated in an 8-day diary study and reported on their daily experiences. In comparison with a nationally representative sample of mothers of children without disabilities, mothers of adolescent and adult children with ASD spent significantly more time providing childcare and doing ...
