The study presented in this paper aims to explore students' characteristics and to determine student groups based on their previous education and socio-demographic characteristics. Descriptive data mining method, cluster analysis, is applied in the analysis process. Data used in the research is collected among first, second and third year IT students. Research results indicate profile of successful...
The data structure course is very important for information communication technology learning. However, some students can learn data structures well, but most students feel difficult to understand the contents of the data structure course. Therefore, a data structure exercise system applying self-regulated learning mechanism was used for students to learn by their own goals and strategies, and this...
Computers and internet connection are now common equipment in households. However, computer games have become an obstacle in education because pupils spend time needed for education and relax by playing games. One of the possible solutions of this problem is a creation of attractive education programs in the form of computer games. Such programs will be attractive for children and will introduce them...
First-year students are often not well equipped with the base competencies that are a necessary precondition for effectively acquiring complex new knowledge. Among others, these base competencies comprise self-organization, analytical thinking, or communication skills. Shortcomings in these competencies often lead to problems in the study process. To solve these problems, we need to investigate the...
Some complex problems in the computational area are learning programming and algorithms. Authoring system is a subject that can be considered as complex as it integrates the use of scripting language like Action Script in Flash, Active Server Pages (ASP) and Hypertext Preprocessor (PHP). The normal problem that resides when it comes to programming is handling error as it is not an easy task and for...
The mission of the National Science Foundation is to support learning and the discovery of new knowledge in science and engineering, to help the Nation use such knowledge for the benefit of humankind and the environment, today and in the future, and to assure all Americans the opportunities provided by a first-rate education in science and mathematics. In support of this mission the Engineering Directorate...
Cognitive psychology's learning theory focus on applying learning theory to practice in education. Gagne's cognitive learning theory presents the entire process of information processing and information extraction. Under information processing theory and problem-solving strategies of cognitive psychology's guidance, teachers should emphasize the researches of cognitive structure of students. Teachers...
We have developed grading criteria using learning objectives inspired by Bloom's taxonomy for a two-course Discrete Mathematics sequence. For each topic in the courses we developed a hierarchy of learning objectives where the lower-level objectives correspond to the lower levels of Bloom's taxonomy and the higher-level learning objectives require deeper understanding as in the higher levels of Bloom's...
Correspondence analysis has been used in text mining to deepen global understanding on the characteristics of categorized accumulated textual information, and may lead to new knowledge discovery. However, difficulty in category classification for textual information remains. This article presents a new analysis method for higher education curriculum textual information utilizing corresponding analysis...
It is of great importance to evaluate scientifically teacherspsila teaching quality in the classroom. The methods of AHP and Fuzzy comprehensive evaluation are applied to evaluation of classroom teaching quality. By analyzing constituent elements of teaching quality, proposed that the index system should be on the basis of teaching attitude, teaching method, teaching content and teaching effectiveness,...
The concept of (isinmacr, isinmacr v qmacr) -fuzzy R-subgroups of near-rings is introduced and some related properties are investigated. In particular, we describe the relationships among ordinary fuzzy R-subgroups, (isinmacr, isinmacr v qmacr) -fuzzy R-subgroups and (isin, isin vq)-fuzzy R-subgroups of near-rings. Finally, we give some characterization of [mu]t by means of (isin,isin vq)-fuzzy R-subgroups.
The validity of the fundamental principles and methods of control and system theory with an abundance of applications not only remains unaffected but on the contrary, it is enriched with new tools and perspectives. Thus, in this paper, our main goal is to fill in the gap in teaching young mathematicians difficult and fundamental, mathematical concepts of control and system theory (descriptor systems)...
The classical Knaster-Kuratowski-Mazurkiewicz (in short, KKM) theorem is a basic result for combinatorial mathematics; it is equivalent to many basic theorems such as Brouwer's fixed point theorem, Sperner's lemma, and Fan's minimax inequality. In 1961, Ky Fan generalized the classical KKM theorem from finite dimensional spaces to infinite dimensional spaces, and since then, this theorem has become...
The construction and improvement of teaching evaluation system is a very important part of teaching work in recent years. Along with the constant development of network-based study, a comprehensively scientifically and objective evaluation is increasingly important. To establish an evaluation system of network teaching is the needs of scientific management of teaching quality. Moreover, the study...
In this paper, the authors introduce Dini derivative operator in the sense of set-values, establish the relations between set-valued vector quasi-variational inequality and set-valued vector optimization problems, and prove the existence of a weak minimum for a class of constrained set-valued vector optimization problem by making use of quasi-variational inequality and extending pseudo D-invex functions.
This article presents a new deriving method of a simple formula for all kinds of one-dimensional collision. The formula and the method are easy to be learned and remembered for students than traditional equations for one-dimensional collision. The article presents five different ways to deal with the same question, and suggests that teaching students different ways to deal with the same question is...
Cognitive structured theory is researched on an organization structure of knowledge. It provides theoretical guidance to scientific classroom design. This paper sets an example of computer applied mathematics to propose the effect of cognitive theory on structured teaching design.
Taking the math major students as the subjects, this paper discussed the causal attribution characteristics of success or failure in social intercourse, their expectation changing and emotional reaction. The paper found that: (1) the intercourse results are varied among the students which they attribute to different casual cognitions, no significant differences in grades or genders, but significant...
The computational thinking view recognizes that underlying computing concepts are integral to our everyday lives and pervasive in many disciplines of study. Computer science, information systems, computer engineering, informatics, software engineering-these are among the smorgasbord of choices available to college students interested in a computing career. The choices for noncomputing-oriented students...
This document presents the new curriculum of the electronics degree program of Helsinki Metropolia University of Applied Sciences. The new curriculum was launched in 2008 and so far it has been found very feasible. The curriculum is based on modular approach with a strong emphasis of course integration towards the common electronics learning objectives. Some alterations to this curriculum structure...
