Ait-Adda, Samia; Bousbia, Nabila; Balla, Amar – E-Learning and Digital Media, 2023
Our aim in this paper is to improve the efficiency of a learning process by using learners' traces to detect particular needs. The analysis of the semantic path of a learner or group of learners during the learning process can allow detecting those students who are in needs of help as well as identify the insufficiently mastered concepts. We…

Logacev, Pavel – Journal of Experimental Psychology: Learning, Memory, and Cognition, 2023
A number of studies have found evidence for the so-called "ambiguity advantage," that is, faster processing of ambiguous sentences compared with unambiguous counterparts. While a number of proposals regarding the mechanism underlying this phenomenon have been made, the empirical evidence so far is far from unequivocal. It is compatible…

Finding Model through Latent Semantic Approach to Reveal the Topic of Discussion in Discussion Forum
Setiawan, Reina; Budiharto, Widodo; Kartowisastro, Iman Herwidiana; Prabowo, Harjanto – Education and Information Technologies, 2020
There are lots of information and knowledge can be extracted from a discussion forum. Despite a discussion is opened by submitting a thread as the topic of discussion, however, the discussion may open out to different topics. This paper aims to present a model to find out a topic of discussion through latent semantic approach, named Topics Finding…

Sanchez-Ferreres, Josep; Delicado, Luis; Andaloussi, Amine Abbab; Burattin, Andrea; Calderon-Ruiz, Guillermo; Weber, Barbara; Carmona, Josep; Padro, Lluis – IEEE Transactions on Learning Technologies, 2020
The creation of a process model is primarily a formalization task that faces the challenge of constructing a syntactically correct entity, which accurately reflects the semantics of reality, and is understandable to the model reader. This article proposes a framework called "Model Judge," focused toward the two main actors in the process…

Madsen, Esben Elholm; Elbe, Anne-Marie; Krustrup, Peter; Larsen, Carsten Hvid; Larsen, Malte Nejst; Madsen, Mads; Hansen, Tina – Cogent Education, 2021
The trans-contextual model (TCM) offers a heuristic-based theoretical framework to understand fifth-grade Danish schoolchildren's motivation to participate in the 11 for Health in Denmark educational football concept, as well as their intention and behaviour to participate in vigorous physical activity (PA) in a leisure-time context. The…

Braasch, Jason L. G.; Kessler, Erica D. – Discourse Processes: A Multidisciplinary Journal, 2021
Comprehension substantially benefits from attending to, thinking about, and mentally representing the sources of any presented information. Such processes require mental effort and unfortunately people do not always engage in such activities. The current article presents a nascent, evolving model of discourse comprehension that formalizes…

Venant, Rémi; d'Aquin, Mathieu – International Educational Data Mining Society, 2019
The evaluation of text complexity is an important topic in education. While this objective has been addressed by approaches using lexical and syntactic analysis for decades, semantic complexity is less common, and the recent research works that tackle this question rely on machine learning algorithms that are hardly explainable and are not…

Grace Hui Chin Lin – Online Submission, 2024
The primary goal of this project is to assess the students' better communication attainment after applying a series of five interactive strategies to an experiment group of subjects. This class will be compared with a control group of other participants, and in their class, the interactive approaches are not emphasized and practiced openly. The…

Kida, Shusaku – Second Language Research, 2022
The type of processing-resource allocation (TOPRA) model predicts that the semantic processing of new second language (L2) words can impede the learning of their forms while structural processing can promote it. Using this framework, the present study examined the effects of processing type (semantic, structural, control), exposure frequency (one…

Hameed, Ansa; Jabeen, Ismat; Khan, Aalia Mehar – Arab World English Journal, 2020
The need for transformation has led kingdom to envision and encode the Saudi Vision 2030 document; it is not merely an idealistic divination but a manuscript with an appropriate plan to accomplish its anticipated economic and social goals. In fact, planning is a critical factor in the document, which shapes it as a discourse of realization and…

Strickland, Luke; Heathcote, Andrew; Remington, Roger W.; Loft, Shayne – Journal of Experimental Psychology: Learning, Memory, and Cognition, 2017
Event-based prospective memory (PM) tasks require participants to substitute an atypical PM response for an ongoing task response when presented with PM targets. Responses to ongoing tasks are often slower with the addition of PM demands ("PM costs"). Prominent PM theories attribute costs to capacity-sharing between the ongoing and PM…

Koochacki, Fahime – Advances in Language and Literary Studies, 2016
The rich cultural connotations behind puns and the distinctive features of the puns' form, sound and meanings pose great challenges to the translator. Furthermore, given puns' non-negligible effects in Persian literary texts, it has been the aim of the present study to analyze and measure how puns in Sa'di's Ghazals have actually been treated in…

Krasnobaieva-Chorna, Zhanna; Harbera, Iryna – Journal of Language and Linguistic Studies, 2022
Interpretive theory of translation allows us to consider translation as a tool for studying the process of understanding. The study of the mechanisms of perception and understanding of the text in the process of English-Ukrainian translation permits to clarify the specifics of decoding information about COVID-19 in the pandemic of 2020. The…

Bryan Buschner – ProQuest LLC, 2021
School and university classrooms remain the standard around the world for second language instruction. However, over the past 20 years various methods of language learning have permeated the educational landscape to include self-study textbooks, language learning software and online teachers. Some models are evidence based while others lack…
