Towards expert knowledge? A comparison between a constructivist and a traditional learning environment in the university
1999
Abstract This research monograph examines the potential of constructivist learning environments for developing prerequisites of expert knowledge during university studies. Drawing on recent theories of the development of expert knowledge and on the constructivist view of learning, an experiment was conducted in an educational psychology course. The primary purpose of the study was to compare the learning outcomes of students who studied the course material in a constructivist learning environment with those of students who learned it under traditional teaching and studying conditions. Students in the constructivist learning environment acquired more diversified knowledge. In addition, a the…
Comparing the applicability of two learning theories for knowledge transfer in information system implementation training
2004
This study reviews two traditional learning theories from the viewpoint of knowledge transfer in information system implementation training. The main goal of this study is to determine which is more applicable from the view of knowledge transfer in this context. In this study, behaviourist learning theory is found suitable for the transfer of data and information. Being more learner-centered, constructivist learning theory suits better for information system implementation training, as it enables combining system specific knowledge with knowledge of the existing organisational processes. This creates new organisation-specific knowledge necessary for the effective use of the information syst…
El modelo de Ausubel en la didáctica de la física : una aproximanción experimental al proceso de E/A de contenidos que presentan constructos poco ela…
1993
Resumen basado en el de la publicación Resumen en inglés Se muestran los resultados de una investigación sobre educación física sobre «Magnetismo» en la escuela secundaria. Se investiga un enfoque constructivista para el diseño instruccional basado en el modelo de Ausubel en el tratamiento de temas en el cual los alumnos tienen representaciones conceptuales pobres y marcos alternativos. Se muestran los primeros resultados con respecto al aprendizaje inmediato y duradero. ESP
La distribuzione di Maxwell-Boltzmann: i risultati di una sperimentazione svolta nell'ambito dei corsi di laurea in ingegneria
2011
This paper describes the outcomes of an teaching experiment conducted in the seminar held at the Faculty Engineering of Palermo University. The theme of the seminar focused on undergraduate experiment that yields the velocity distribution of thermionic electrons by analyzing the I-V characteristics of diodes and triodes. By using a simple model, the velocity distribution of thermionic electrons emitted by the vacuum tube cathode can be described by Maxwell's distribution. The experiment allows students to focus on the distribution function more than on difficulties arising from the complexity of thermionic emission. Questo articolo descrive i risultati di una sperimentazione didattica condo…
Filmu fragmenti angļu valodas gramatikas induktīvai apguvei 12. klasē
2016
Skolēnu vajadzības un vēlmes attiecībā uz angļu valodas mācīšanos laika gaitā ir mainījušās, tādēļ, lai nodrošinātu skolēnu mācīšanās vajadzību un vēlmju ievērošanu, skolotājiem ir jābūt informētiem par jaunākajām mācību metodēm un pieejām angļu valodas mācīšanai. Mūsdienās skolēniem nesagādā grūtības komunikācija angļu valodā un viņi ir prasmīgi valodas lietotāji, pateicoties interneta videi, kurā skolēni pavada daļu brīvā laika. Skolotāju loma ir nodrošināt skolēnus ar pareizas valodas un gramatikas lietošanas priekšnosacījumiem, piedāvājot motivējošas un interesantas valodas mācīšanās metodes un instrumentus. Ņemot vērā iepriekšminēto, diplomdarba autore veica pētījumu, lai noskaidrotu k…
'School adopts an experiment': the photoluminescence in extra-virgin olive oil and in tonic water
2011
We report a laboratory activity, carried out along with high- and secondary-school students, that can be done to increase the interest of the young in scientific studies. Groups of selected students ‘adopted’ experiments at physics research laboratories, under the guidance of university researchers. Subsequently, the students demonstrated the experiments to the public at large during the annual science festival organized in Palermo by the association PalermoScienza, in collaboration with the University of Palermo. Experiments on the magnetic levitation of superconductors and on the photoluminescence of several substances were proposed. We discuss the experiment on photoluminescence as a cas…
An inquiry-based approach to Maxwell distribution: a case study with engineering students
2013
The concept of distribution is a fundamental component of statistical thinking. This paper describes a teaching approach for it that uses a specific activity related to the field of statistical mechanics. The concept of the velocity distribution of a particle system is dealt with using an inquiry-based approach involving an experimental examination of Maxwell’s distribution. Some outcomes of a teaching experiment held at the Faculty of Engineering of the University of Palermo, Italy are described.
Diseño e implementación de una secuencia de enseñanza para introducir los conceptos de sustancia y compuesto químico
2012
Este estudio propone la implementación de una secuencia didáctica para facilitar el aprendizaje de los conceptos de sustancia, sustancia simple y compuesto en educación secundaria. Para su elaboración se ha partido del análisis histórico y las concepciones alternativas más frecuentes de los estudiantes respecto a estos conceptos. Su evaluación se ha realizado mediante un estudio comparativo entre grupos de alumnos que la han utilizado en clase y grupos que han seguido un método de enseñanza tradicional. Los resultados muestran que la selección de contenidos y las estrategias utilizadas en una secuencia de enseñanza de orientación constructivista ofrece a los estudiantes mayor capacidad de a…
Effects of Two Instructional Procedures on Spanish University Students’ Comprehension Monitoring when Reading Science Texts in English
2015
Abstract Two instructional approaches on comprehension monitoring in English as FL are contrasted. Although using the same materials (elementary science texts), one of them is based on tasks focusing on vocabulary and grammar, and the other one is based on main ideas identification and textual coherence. The English proficiency level was controlled and comprehension monitoring measures were obtained in the pretest and the posttest using embedded micro and macro-structural inconsistencies in texts. Results showed that teaching students to read in order to understand main ideas and to elaborate the text macrostructure produce better results than focusing attention on discourse low-level compo…
"The same thing over and over again in many different ways. " : case study about bilingual teaching methods in the Family Centre Klubíčko, Czech Repu…
2017
Tutkimus tähtää löytämään erilaisia kaksikielisiä opetusmetodeja ja korostamanaan niitä metodeja, jotka opettajat kuvaavat hyvin toimiviksi. Tarkoituksena on myös tarkastella tekijöitä, joita opettajat ottavat huomioon valitessaan kaksikielisen opetusmetodin. Tätä tukimusta voidaan kutsua tapaustutkimukseksi. Se toteutettiin haastatellen neljää opettajaa, jotka työskentelevät Family Centre Klubíčkossa Kroměříž:ssa, Tsekissä. Opettajat haastateltiin pareina teemahaastattelun periaatteita noudattaen. Tutkimus analysoitiin sisällöanalyysin keinoin huomioiden myös tutkimuksen visuaalinen tutkimusmateriaali. Tulokset kertovat, kuinka opettajilla on käytössään monipuolinen joukko opetusmetodeja, …
