Today's trend is the use of information technology in all areas of our lives. Emotions are a basic human characteristic, although they are difficult to define, recognise and classify. Proper assessment and recognition of human emotions can lead to a better understanding of user behaviour. The aforementioned technologies can also be used as a…

This study was designed to understand the effects of experiential learning style tests on elementary music and movement education experiences of students. Despite the general music education in Turkey elementary music and movement, education was used. The students were expected to gain experience, by the way, perceiving the rhythm of the words,…

Background: Providing adaptive scaffolds to help learners develop effective self-regulated learning (SRL) behaviours has been an important goal for intelligent learning environments. Adaptive scaffolding is especially important in open-ended learning environments (OELE), where novice learners often face difficulties in completing their learning…

This paper reports on the development of metalearning capacity in the learning of a "threshold concept"--capacity of transformative significance relative to metalearning in the general response context of a discipline or subject. The development of metalearning capacity is framed within a protocol that invites students to self-construct…

The shift to competency-based education expands the role of the teacher from that of a provider of information and into a shaper of knowledge, skills, and attitudes. These roles are facilitated by establishing a social contract between the instructor and learner, a contract that clearly defines the rights and duties of each. Adopting greater…

Previous research regarding peer assessment has investigated the relationships between peer feedback and learners' performance. However, few studies investigate in-depth learning processes during technology-assisted peer assessment activities, particularly from affective, cognitive, and metacognitive perspectives. This study conducts a series of…

New high-frequency, automated data collection and analysis algorithms could offer new insights into complex learning processes, especially for tasks in which students have opportunities to generate unique open-ended artifacts such as computer programs. These approaches should be particularly useful because the need for scalable project-based and…

Energy saving and carbon-emissions reduction (ESCER) are widely regarded as important issues for progress towards ensuring sustainable forms of economic development. This Taiwanese study focuses on the effects of a series of educational activities about ESCER on students' knowledge, attitudes and behavior. Sixty fifth-grade students from two…

Most studies evaluating the effectiveness of strategy training for L2/FL learners have been product-oriented, i.e. they have quantitatively measured improvements in learners' test scores following the completion of a strategy training programme. However, such evaluation methods are only partial, and they must be supplemented by a qualitative…

The purpose of this questionnaire is to analyze parental attitudes toward the project by examining the parents' perception of their children in the project. Six open-ended sentences are presented which the parent is asked to complete as he sees fit. Additional comments are also solicited. (See TM 001 363 for description of the total project; see…

Analyzes the use of behavioral self-modification projects in college classes. Such projects are attempts by students to apply the principles of behavioral psychology to their own behavior. Discussed are impact of projects on student learning, extent of student behavior change, and adequacy of research design. (Author/AV)

Discusses the attributes of the behavior system and a model that suggests the feasibility of the development of a new and required analytic capability for systems of human behavior. (Author/RK)

Provides a brief guide that teachers and administrators might use as the foundation for training sessions with inexperienced volunteers interested in tutoring upper elementary or secondary level students who have failed to acquire basic reading skills. (Author/RK)

Case studies were conducted to assess the personal learning styles and behaviors of elementary school children to provide teachers the opportunity of using prescribed teaching techniques to match students' styles. Six groups of behaviors were identified: (1) students demonstrate little internal control and are likely to act out and create…

This collection of symposium papers is published for members of the American Alliance for Health, Physical Education, and Recreation with the intention of providing current synthesis of research in physical education. This volume contains papers discussing and analyzing research on teacher behaviors in the field of athletics and movement education…
