Abstract:

Students perceive crossword puzzles as enjoyable. In addition to students’ perceptions, crossword puzzles actually improve knowledge retention. However, crossword puzzles increased exam scores for some students but not others. Recommendations have been made for students to create puzzles for their classmates to complete with the rationale that students are encouraged to research and understand the material in order to write meaningful clues for the puzzle. While students enjoy creating their own crossword puzzles, the association between students creating crossword puzzles and knowledge retent

Abstract:

Crossword puzzles are used everyday by millions of people for entertainment, but have applications also in educational and rehabilitation contexts. Unfortunately, the generation of ad-hoc puzzles, especially on specific subjects, typically requires a great deal of human expert work. This paper presents the architecture of WebCrow-generation, a system that is able to generate crosswords with no human intervention, including clue generation and crossword compilation. In particular, the proposed system crawls information sources on the Web, extracts definitions from the downloaded pages using sta

Abstract:

Crossword puzzle solving is usually considered as a leisure time activity. Crossword puzzles however can serve as a useful tool in foreign language teaching. As a writer, whose experimental literature is associated with the Oulipo group, Georges Perec created over a hundred crossword puzzles. Some of them are designed and dedicated to the Ier – XXe arrondissements (administrative subdivisions) of Paris. These 20 crossword puzzles can be successfully used for teaching French as foreign language in a way to engage students into discovering the historical sites and figures, urban landscape, cultu

Abstract:

What are (themed) cryptic crossnumber puzzles and where do they appear?I'll start by answering the second question first, as that is the easier. This rather unusual genre of puzzle appears quarterly as part of the series of Listener crosswords, which found a new home in The Times newspaper following the demise of The Listener magazine in 1991. There is also a monthly on-line crossword magazine called The Magpie, which has a numerical puzzle in each issue. As a result, fans of crossnumber puzzles have sixteen a year to tackle. Themed cryptic crosswords appear much more frequently – perhaps ten

Abstract:

Science is a complex process, and we must not teach our students overly simplified versions of “the” scientific method. We propose that students can uncover the complex realities of scientific thinking by exploring the similarities and differences between solving the familiar crossword puzzles and scientific “puzzles.” Similarly to solving a crossword puzzle, solving puzzles in science is a complex and creative process in which hypotheses and theories evolve through the accumulation of many pieces of independent, yet interlocking, lines of evidence. We discuss the important lessons from Haack’

Abstract:

This study investigates how praising students’ success in tasks affects the performance of other students who were not successful. Possible and impossible crossword puzzles were used as an experiment to engender fixed mindsets in half of the sample. The average time to complete a crossword puzzle at the pretest was compared to the average time to complete the same puzzle at the posttest. The results showed that students given possible crossword puzzles were able to make significant improvements in the speed with which they could complete the puzzle at the posttest stage.

Extensive scholarly investigation in social studies education has led to a significant shift in the prevailing paradigm, moving away from conventional lecture-based teaching methods and towards adopting novel and student-centric instructional approaches.

Abstract:

The paper examines the possibility of developing crossword puzzles based on applications that provide specific tools for this process. Crossword puzzles are the most popular games, which are widely used in education. In textbooks, they are mostly common for testing knowledge in a learning unit, in most cases being understanding as "interactive teaching games". By completing the words or phrases in the context of a crossword puzzle, and following the established rules, students not only improve their knowledge of a topic but also increase their visual literacy skills.

These limitations prompted the need for an alternative solution. A SMS crossword puzzle system was thus devised.
