Abstract:

Games are increasingly becoming a powerful and effective tool for training. The use of games as a training tool increase intrinsic motivation which enhances learning. This study concerns why people play and why they continue play. The study consists of two parts; a focus group and a web questionnaire. The results suggest that people prefer playing together with others, and that they play mainly because of entertainment, fellowship and pastime. Results also show that the participants come to an agreement of five different characteristics a game must have in order for the participants to play; a

Abstract:

Teaching and learning mathematical functions and graphs pose significant challenges for teachers and students. Students often have difficulty in understanding a functional relationship between two quantities such as distance and time, temperature and precipitation, and gas price and number of gallons. Teaching students to have quantitative thinking about functions can help them understand the rate of change for complicated functions and later succeed in learning Calculus. Traditional educational methods such as static graph images and some learning tools usually have some limitations. Teaching

Abstract:

This essay presents aspects of fan fiction conducive to language learning, and therefore relevant to teachers of English in upper-secondary schools in Sweden. Students may lack motivation to engage in creative writing assignments in formal learning settings. However, young people engage in fan fiction-writing, and by doing so, develop their language and literacy skills. Drawing upon aspects of fan fiction-writing and participation in fan fiction communities, such as, imitation, interaction, and literary discussions, teachers could find inspiration in these activities to use in their teaching.

Memory refers to the retention of learned information or experiences in the brain. It is known that interference of certain brain functions immediately after training or memory reactivation can cause memory loss (i.e. amnesia). The post-training process is called consolidation and the post reactivation process is called reconsolidation. However, it remains unclear as to: (1) whether appetitive, goal-directed memories undergo reconsolidation, (2) whether overtrained memories undergo reconsolidation, (3) what the nature of amnesia is (i.e. whether it represents storage or retrieval impairment),

La thèse traite de la manière dont des firmes multinationales (FMNs) historiquement occidentales, pilotent la dynamique de constitution des compétences nécessaires pour supporter leur stratégie de croissance et d’innovation, lorsque leur marché bascule depuis l’Europe vers l’Asie.La littérature sur le management de l’innovation dans les FMNs propose différents modèles d’organisation globale des processus d’innovation mais n’aborde pas la question de la dynamique de constitution de ces modèles, à partir d’une situation historique et d’une stratégie d’internationalisation spécifique.La thèse tra

Abstract:

A key skill for mobile robots is the ability to navigate efficiently through their environment. In the case of social or assistive robots, this involves navigating through human crowds. Typical performance criteria, such as reaching the goal using the shortest path, are not appropriate in such environments, where it is more important for the robot to move in a socially adaptive manner such as respecting comfort zones of the pedestrians. This thesis investigates the Learning from Demonstration framework to address the socially adaptive path planning problem. Learning from Demonstration is a pra

Abstract:

Learning processes play a major role in controlling intake of food. Through repeated experiences an animal acquires the ability to predict the postingestive effects of a particular food (i.e., of its nutrients and energy) from its sensory characteristics. What is unclear from the literature, however, is whether an animal can anticipate the duration of subsequent food deprivation from predictive sensory qualities of a food, and hence increase the amount eaten of that cueing food. Therefore, the aim of this work was to investigate the characteristics of this under-researched type of learning, i.

Abstract:

In this thesis, I describe how interactive journal writing was used to improve the understanding of mathematics, and to foster communication with two groups of remedial grade ten students. Mathematics is a gatekeeper course in high school, and students who are not successful with this subject are at a distinct disadvantage, both in terms of their education and in their future careers. A persistent source of difficulty for these students is related to language; students often struggle both to understand what is being taught, and how to explain concepts or problem solutions in their own w

Abstract:

In machine learning one is usually given a data set of real high dimensional vectors X, based on which it is desired to select a hypothesis θ from the space of hypotheses Θ using a learning algorithm. An immediate assumption that is usually imposed on X is that it is a subset from the very general embedding space Rp which makes the Euclidean distance ∥•∥2 to become the default metric for the elements of X. Since various learning algorithms assume that the input space is Rp with its endowed metric ∥•∥2 as a (dis)similarity measure, it follows that selecting hypothesis θ becomes intrinsically ti

This study hypothesized that students in a constructivist classroom would perform better academically than students in a traditionalist classroom. The methodology used was a multi~method approach utilizing both quantitative and qualitative techniques.Two separate classrooms of students in a 10th grade general science program were selected to serve as the experimental and control groups. One group was taught the material using traditional teaching methods in a traditional learning environment, functioning as the control group. The second group was taught the same basic material using constructi

<p>In 2000, more then 4 million Swedish citizens were given the responsibility to invest a part of their earned money in the new premium pension system. With limited knowledge in financial markets was it now up to the people themselves to decide how to invest. Due to the citizens lack of knowledge lead them to a passive behavior. This meant a new role for the financial institutions and the advising that followed. Since the start, there has been constant debates on how well the system has been working and who it has been beneficial to.With the new role of the pension advisors the problem questi

Abstract:

This thesis describes practical learning systems able to model unknown nonlinear dynamic processes from their observed input-output behaviour. Local Model Networks use a number of simple, locally accurate models to represent a globally complex process, and provide a powerful, flexible framework for the integration of different model structures and learning algorithms. A major difficulty with Local Model Nets is the optimisation of the model structure. A novel Multi-Resolution Constructive (MRC) structure identification algorithm for local model networks is developed. The algorithm gradually ad

Abstract:

Improvisation has long been regarded an integral element of artistic work, but has received less attention for ways it may inform education and learning. This dissertation explores understandings central to improvisation, interrogates how they are embodied in music (Western classical music, jazz and African drumming) and theatrical practices, and uses them to problematize values in curricular design and modes of classroom instruction. Improvisation is presented as a means of confronting indeterminacy and negotiating change, concepts that are discussed first in philosophical and anthropological
