the aim of this study was to design national pride model and its dimensions with an emphasis on sport. statistical population consisted of all professors and phd students of physical education and other disciplines in state universities. cluster sampling method was used based on geographical distribution. sample was determined as at least 2 and maximum 10 times more than items of the questionna...

Some instances of creative thinking require an agent to build and test hypothetical the­ ories. Such a reasoner needs to explore the space of not only those situations that have occurred in the past, but also those that are rationally conceivable. In this paper we present a formalism for exploring the space of conceivable situation-models for those do­ mains in which the knowledge is primarily ...

to enhance the certainty of the grade block model, it is necessary to increase the number of exploratory drillholes and collect more data from the deposit. the inputs of the process of locating these additional drillholes include the variogram model parameters, locations of the samples taken from the initial drillholes, and the geological block model. the uncertainties of these inputs will lead...

introduction: the present study aimed to investigate the psychometric properties of grasha-riechmann student learning styles scale. method: the participants included 1039 students (421 students in human and 618 students in technical sciences), selected through the stratified sampling method from tehran university. they answered the grasha-riechmann student learning style scale and the data was ...

In this paper, we present a coordination model for exploratory multi-view visualization. We base our work on current research in exploratory visualization and other disciplines. Our model is based on sharing abstract objects such as the visualization parameters of the dataflow model to achieve coordinated exploratory tasks in multiple views. This model describes how current coordinations in exp...

In this paper we discuss a Bayesian approach for nding latent classes in the data. In our approach we use nite mixture models to describe the underlying structure in the data, and demonstrate that the possibility to use full joint probability models raises interesting new prospects for exploratory data analysis. The concepts and methods discussed are illustrated with a case study using a data s...

Exploratory Learning Environments (ELE) facilitate scientific inquiry tasks in which learners attempt to develop or uncover underlying scientific or mathematical models. Unlike step-based Intelligent Tutoring Systems (ITS), and due to task characteristics and pedagogical philosophy, ELE offer little support at the domain level. Lacking adequate support, ELE often fail to deliver on their promis...

Bi-factor analysis is a form of confirmatory factor analysis originally introduced by Holzinger. The bi-factor model has a general factor and a number of group factors. The purpose of this paper is to introduce an exploratory form of bi-factor analysis. An advantage of using exploratory bi-factor analysis is that one need not provide a specific bi-factor model a priori. The result of an explora...
