Wainman, Bruce; Pukas, Giancarlo; Wolak, Liliana; Mohanraj, Sylvia; Lamb, Jason; Norman, Geoffrey R. – Anatomical Sciences Education, 2020
Anatomy education has been revolutionized through digital media, resulting in major advances in realism, portability, scalability, and user satisfaction. However, while such approaches may well be more portable, realistic, or satisfying than traditional photographic presentations, it is less clear that they have any superiority in terms of student…

Ajloni, Mosah; O'Toole, Mitchell – Turkish Online Journal of Educational Technology - TOJET, 2021
This paper focuses on the use of video technology (VT) in Jordanian schools. The Jordanian Ministry of Education (MoE) has endorsed the use of VT in schools in recent times thus the number of schools employing VT in Jordan is expected to increase dramatically in the near future. One of the existing pedagogical frameworks that can help in…

Harris, Patricia Ann – ProQuest LLC, 2019
Spatial intelligence is an essential skill commonly used within various fields of science. Students with low spatial abilities frequently struggle to identify, retrieve, and apply key complex abstract information presented as multiple representations to actual three-dimensional natural materials and phenomena. Spatial ability may be considered a…

Kern, Beth; Mettetal, Gwendolyn; Dixson, Marcia D.; Morgan, Robin K. – Journal of the Scholarship of Teaching and Learning, 2015
In this essay, we explore definitions and taxonomies of the Scholarship of Teaching and Learning (SoTL) and present a model of the Dimensions of Activities Related to Teaching (DART) which provides a context for SoTL along two dimensions: public/private and systematic/informal. The four quadrants: practice of teaching, sharing about teaching,…

Šafhalter, Andrej; Vukman, Karin Bakracevic; Glodež, Srecko – Journal of Educational Computing Research, 2016
The aim of this research was to establish whether gender and age have an impact on spatial reasoning and its development through the use of 3D modeling. The study was conducted on a sample of 196 children from sixth to ninth grade, of whom 95 represented the experimental group and 101 the control group. The experimental group received 3D modeling…

Betts, Diane Gmitro – ProQuest LLC, 2012
The goal of professional learning communities (PLC) is for teachers to come together to discuss and examine student learning and ultimately to make instructional changes that can lead to improved student learning. The formative use of assessments that are commonly agreed upon by this community of teachers is believed to enhance their improvement…

Armstrong, James B.; Sherman, Thomas M. – Performance and Instruction, 1988
Discussion of the roles of the instructional design specialist (IDS) and the subject matter expert (SME) in designing effective instruction for a training program focuses on the role of the SME. Characteristics of four consulting models are described, and stages of the SME/IDS relationship are summarized. (LRW)

O'Connell, Megan; Lieberman, Lauren J.; Petersen, Susan – Journal of Visual Impairment & Blindness, 2006
Physical guidance and tactile modeling, coupled with explanation, are effective methods of improving the motor skills and physical activities of students who are blind (O'Connell, 2000). It is important that students with visual impairment are given the option to use one or the other method with each new skill, since they may have a preference for…

Basham, K. Lynn; Kotrlik, Joe W. – Journal of Technology Education, 2008
Spatial abilities are fundamental to human functioning in the physical world. Spatial reasoning allows people to use concepts of shape, features, and relationships in both concrete and abstract ways, to make and use things in the world, to navigate, and to communicate. Surgeons, pilots, architects, engineers, mechanics, builders, farmers, trades…

Bohren, Janet L. – 1993
A pilot study with 17 middle school science teachers at 15 schools was conducted to determine how to use interactive videodisc technology to develop student ability to use visual skills in processing science information, thereby improving science achievement. The first year's progress is described in identifying how visual images seem to affect…
