The work described in this paper tackles learning and communication between cognitive artificial agents. Focus is on dialogue as the only way for agents to acquire knowledge, as it often happens in natural situations. Since this restriction has scarcely been studied as such in artificial intelligence (AI), until now, this research aims at providing a dialogue model devoted to knowledge acquisit...

This manuscript is to provide an action research report on the issues behind the prototyping of a student-centered creative knowledge environment (CKE), which focuses on developing student responsibility, making learning meaningful, promoting overt knowledge construction, performing learner assessment, and showcasing learner achievements. The primary idea is to create an electronic knowledge sp...

John R. Anderson is an international leader in the computational representation and simulation of human cognition. He is credited as having developed the first ‘‘cognitive architecture’’—a computational framework for specifying both the abilities and limitations of human behavior. Anderson has also made fundamental contributions in applying cognitive architectures to practical problems, most no...

In this paper, I investigate the impact of a programme in Tel-Aviv, Israel, that terminated an existing inter-district busing integration programme and allowed students free choice among public schools. The identification is based on difference-in-differences and regression discontinuity designs that yield various alternative comparison groups drawn from untreated tangent neighbourhoods and adj...

by Everaldo Aguiar A common denominator across different cultures and societies is that people are on a continuous quest to move forward in life – each in their own personal way. Though success can be achieved by many routes, it is also a well-known fact that a person’s level of education can be a strong indicator of their achievements, professional or otherwise. Yet, persevering through the ed...

mLearning, or mobile learning, student-generated activities enable students to adopt an active approach in learning their subjects. In developed countries, such as the USA, UK and Australia, this method is widely practiced compared to developing countries, such as Malaysia. The largely qualitative study reported in this paper focuses on extending this practice to the Malaysian context. An inter...
