Almost all college and university courses have integrated disciplines for the teaching of programming in their curricula. The importance of knowing “how to program” has contributed towards increasing private and public initiatives for the teaching of programming in different countries. Many of such initiatives include changes in the curriculum of primary and high schools, replacing disciplines by...
This research aims to associate the gap of old tradition teaching and learning mathematics with the help of dynamic mathematical software. Also, enhancing the learning capabilities and interest of students by creating a platform of variations to teach mathematics based on existing world problems. To improve the discovery learning procedure by empowering both the teacher and learner to visualize and...
Smart boards enable students to learn and explore new concepts using technology to create a more dynamic learning experience. Students become more excited about learning when the smart boards are incorporated into the lesson. Many educators encourage the use of smart boards in teaching and learning. This paper presents a conceptual framework for the use of smart boards among students and teachers...
Tablet PCs have been distributed to a group of students and teachers in secondary schools of Mauritius with the aims to improve academic performance and facilitate a paradigm shift in teaching. The usefulness of these tablets as pedagogical tools in a girl's mathematics class was explored in this study. Videos were uploaded in each student's tablet and used in offline mode in heterogeneous grouping...
Reflective practice is pivotal in ensuring the implemented process of teaching and learning are effective and benefits the students. Through the implementation of reflective practice, all weaknesses and strengths of the educators can be identified and action for improvement can be planned. However, previous research found that majority of educators only reflected on whether or not, in the process...
Instructing mathematics to engineering freshmen is a challenge not only because of their diverse backgrounds but also because of their high skills in digital technology. For this reason, a new approach has been considered in Aerospace Engineering at Technical University of Valencia (UPV) which, in addition to master classes, includes assignments specially designed to achieve mathematical competencies...
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...
Recently, a brand new instructional system named the electronic dual-board (EDB) was created and put into practice in China. To find out the opportunities and challenges of the system in the instruction, the research was conducted in a primary school and a university from March to June in 2013. The results indicated that most of the participants' attitude towards the EDB was positive. Especially,...
By its nature, the mathematics teaching is one of the most difficult to perform in learning environments supported on Internet. This paper proposes the extension of Elgg social network software architecture for the use of web 2.0 services in mathematics education, and displays the results of this application in two experiences in higher education at the University of Cauca (Colombia).
Combining education the fun, it designed are creational / educational game, in order to support the idea that the teacher must have the knowledge to develop and find new, more appropriate teaching strategies to help in the learning ability of students, It emphasized that the use of technology, specifically the integrated virtual reality tithe concept of learning object, together with the knowledge...
This paper is based on the mass open and authentic data from the securities market with the statistical experimental method, to conduct test of MACD and MA expert systems for the securities trading software. The advantages and disadvantages of the two systems are compared by analysis which takes the winning rate, annual rate of return, and net profit margin as the management objectives on the basis...
In this work, we propose a new mathematics training approach that improves knowledge conduct and reduces mistakes through the use of a tablet computer. The proposed system is designed to record a student's handwriting activities and to visualize distinctive differences between highly graded students' common problem-solving characteristics and general students in a side-by-side manner. Later, students...
Siddhata is an automatic theorem prover that can serve as a teaching aid for learning Dijkstra's philosophy of equational reasoning and proofs based on textual substitution [1]. Written in a dialect of the purely functional programming language Haskell, Siddhata implements a term rewriting system that uses a temporal rule-base to repeatedly rewrite a given proposition in an attempt to reduce it to...
This paper deals with children who have disturbance of vision. It also points at the possibility of creating educational softwares for children with special needs. The models of educational softwares as well as concrete educational softwares realized at Technical Faculty "Mihajlo Pupin" will be presented in the paper, too. In this paper, in empirical research the tendency of the development...
In recent decades, many researches have been done on impact of technology on teaching and learning. However, many such studies were done back in 1990s and to-date technology has since improved by leaps and bounds. Hence, there is a need to look into how schools can tap into the current innovative technology and integrate it into the schools' teaching and learning (T&L). This study uses Augmented...
Technology is important in teaching and learning mathematics. This paper will discuss the use of graphing calculators, the internet and computer math software in mathematics education. Our modern world has entered the information age. Internet online teaching and learning, and online testing have become important part of faculty development and student learning.
An integrated approach on concept diagnosis is investigated in this study. Polytomous item relational structure (PIRS) is developed so that it is beyond the limitation of dichotomous items. Besides, student problem chart (S-P chart) is used to classify examinee into proper learning style. The integrated methodology of PIRS and S-P chart could display features of concept structures for each learning...
This paper presents a new concept for Computer Aided Instruction (CAI), Intelligent Course Software (ICS). ICS combines the latest outcome in disciplines of computer science and education. It is designed for both teachers and students, and it treats students as the main part of education activity. It covers all the learning process and can be used during class and after class. Under this concept's...
