Li, Hang; Ding, Wenbiao; Liu, Zitao – International Educational Data Mining Society, 2020
With the rapid emergence of K-12 online learning platforms, a new era of education has been opened up. It is crucial to have a dropout warning framework to preemptively identify K-12 students who are at risk of dropping out of the online courses. Prior researchers have focused on predicting dropout in Massive Open Online Courses (MOOCs), which…

Munro, John – 1994
This paper examines a model of individual ways of learning and its implications for mathematics teaching. Topics discussed include: alternative ways that students use to represent mathematical ideas, management or control mechanisms, related models of learning preferences, ways in which students relate and manipulate ideas, and implications of…

Stacks, Don W.; Andersen, Peter A. – 1987
To further the understanding of how the brain operates at the most basic level of interest to human communication theorists, intrapersonal communication, this paper reviews the arguments against the hemispheric dominance theory and for a neurological processing style model of brain functions and then focuses on the impact of the corpus callosum (a…

Wells, Gordon – 1992
This paper argues that the goals of education, whether in university or kindergarten, are not achieved by the one-way transmission of knowledge, but through a dialogue between teacher and learner which has as its aim the co-construction of meaning in relation to tasks and topics of mutual interest and concern. The paper first addresses how the…

Clark, Francis E. – 1995
The task of synthesizing descriptive data from the "root social sciences" to form a usable model for applied research is quite different from the task of employing, verbatim, the theoretical and methodological constructs of those same sciences. This study conceptualizes the instructional encoding conditions that potentially effect and/or affect…

McCurry, Patricia S. – 1996
Three purposes of a study of marketing education (ME) instructors in Tennessee were as follows: to identify the activities they perceived to be effective, to determine the perceptual style orientations of those activities as identified by experts in perceptual learning style research, and to develop a framework for instructional planning that…

Gasser, Judith G. – 1984
Since the time of E. B. Huey (1908), there have been clear indicators that oral language as a reflection of a child's linguistic ability has been clearly related to his or her reading achievement or comprehension. P. McKee (1937) and W. S. Gray (1937) both speculated that reading difficulties might parallel language deficiencies. G. Hildreth…

Martin, David W. – 1980
Performance becomes degraded when the human processing system undergoes the stress of processing overload. Information processing models are often used to predict how performance will be affected. Single channel models hypothesize that information will either be lost in the queue or processed with delay. Single capacity models predict that for a…
