In this paper, the problem of determining capacity a communication channel is formulated as cooperative game, between generator and discriminator, that solved via deep learning techniques. The task to produce input samples for which discriminator ideally distinguishes conditional from unconditional output samples. approach, referred (CORTICAL), provides both optimal signal distribution estimate...

This study was an attempt to investigate the comparative impact of Student Teams Achievement Divisions (STAD) and Think-Pair-Share (TPS) on EFL learners’ listening. Accordingly, 60 female EFL learners selected from a larger group of 90 learners based on their performance on a sample piloted Preliminary English Test (PET) who studied at a language school in Tehran were randomly divided into two ...

Web-based learning programs enable learners to browse web pages individually through a predefined path or a personalized routine. However, they provide less social context and cooperative context for cooperation. The main idea presented in this poster is the concept of “informal cooperative learning program”. It is defined as a set of structured learning steps. Learners can go through all steps...

The main purpose of this study was to introduce how a college English teacher conducted cooperative learning techniques and compared them with the traditional teaching methods. In this study the teacher as a researcher employed cooperative learning strategies: Students Teams-Achievement Divisions (STAD). Jigsaw II, Number Head Together, and Learning Together (LT). The researcher employed a qual...

With the sweeping influence and wide application of multimedia and network in college education, cooperative learning has been infused with a new vitality in enhancing student autonomy and control over the language learning process. Adopting qualitative and quantitative approaches, this paper is an empirical study introducing the implementation process of cooperative learning of English writing...

Lecture-based pedagogical approaches cannot adequately prepare students in professional and technical occupational therapy programs. Faculty members in other disciplines are turning to a well-known and well-researched teaching approach called cooperative learning, which is more carefully structured and defined than most other forms of small group learning. Cooperative learning includes several ...

This paper studies a multi-goal Q-learning algorithm of cooperative teams. Member of the cooperative teams is simulated by an agent. In the virtual cooperative team, agents adapt its knowledge according to cooperative principles. The multi-goal Q-learning algorithm is approached to the multiple learning goals. In the virtual team, agents learn what knowledge to adopt and how much to learn (choo...

introduction: in this study, the authors aimed to examine the effects of cooperative learning methods using web quest and team-based learning on students’ self-direction, self-regulation, and academic achievement. methods: this is a comparative study of students taking a course in mental health and psychiatric disorders. in two consecutive years, a group of students were trained using the web q...

We present two examples of cooperative learning techniques – paired thinking and cooperative groups. We describe the techniques, discuss how they are used in a database classroom, and offer data to demonstrate that learning benefits can be achieved through these techniques. Our preliminary evidence suggests that, contrary to recent research in information systems, these techniques are beneficia...
