The Development of Instructional Model for Engineering Materials Course by using Concept Mapping to Enhance Computational Skills

The study was conducted in order to find out the implementation of concept mapping technique and interest in reading literary works towards narrative writing ability of the students at class V SDN.7 Pedungan Denpasar. The problems of the study involved : ( 1 ) Was there any different narrative writing ability of students joining concept mapping technique instructional model ? (2) Was there any differernt narrative writing ability between the students having high interest in reading literary works with those having low interest in reading literary works ? (3) Was there any contributive interaction between concept mapping technique with interest in the reading literary works towards narrative writing ability ? (4) Was there any different narrative writing ability of students joining concept mapping technique instruction with others joining a conventional instructional model among the students having high interest in reading literary works ? (5) Was there any different narrative writing ability of the students joining concept mapping technique instruction with others joining a conventional instructional model among the students having low interest in reading literary works

Synthesis Of Materials

Biomimetics involves investigation of structure, function, and methods of synthesis of biological composite materials. The goal is to apply this information to the design and synthesis of materials for engineering applications.Properties of engineering materials are structure sensitive through the whole spectrum of dimensions from nanometer to macro scale. The goal in designing and processing of technological materials, therefore, is to control microstructural evolution at each of these dimensions so as to achieve predictable physical and chemical properties. Control at each successive level of dimension, however, is a major challenge as is the retention of integrity between successive levels. Engineering materials are rarely fabricated to achieve more than a few of the desired properties and the synthesis techniques usually involve high temperature or low pressure conditions that are energy inefficient and environmentally damaging.In contrast to human-made materials, organisms synthesize composites whose intricate structures are more controlled at each scale and hierarchical order.

Concept Map

Concept Mapping ist eine Lernstrategie, die insbesondere das bedeutungsvolle Lernen unterstützt. Ziel dieser Studie war es, den Nutzen von kognitiven und/oder metakognitiven Prompts auf den Lernerfolg beim Lernen durch Concept Mapping zu untersuchen. Die teilnehmenden Schülerinnen und Schüler (N = 112, Durchschnittsalter: 17.20 Jahre) erzielten einen signifikant besseren Lernerfolg, wenn sie durch Prompts beim Anfertigen einer Concept Map unterstützt wurden. Gemischte Prompts waren dabei im Vergleich zu nur kognitiven bzw. nur metakognitiven Prompts nicht effektiver, offensichtlich regte bereits die Verfügbarkeit von Prompts die Lernenden zu systematischerem Lernverhalten an. Als Fazit dieser Studie lässt sich festhalten, dass Prompts als Hilfestellung bei der Anwendung einer neuen Lerntechnik sehr wohl positive Effekte haben. Eine Follow-Up-Messung ohne Prompts zeigte jedoch, dass die einmalige Unterstützung durch Prompts nicht ausreichte, um die Lerntechnik weiterhin selbstständig erfolgreich anzuwenden.
