Using primary literature is an effective tool for promoting active learning and critical thinking in science classes. However, it can be challenging to use primary literature in large classes and in classes for nonscience majors. We describe the development and implementation of an online tutorial for helping nonscience majors learn to read primary literature in biology. The tutorial includes content about the scientific process and the structure of scientific papers and provides opportunities for students to practice reading primary literature. We describe the use of the tutorial in Biology of Exercise, a course for nonscience majors. Students used the tutorial outside of class to learn the basic principles involved in reading scientific papers, enabling class sessions to focus on active-learning activities and substantive class discussions.

Abstract This research is a part of multi-year research, which has been started since last year by conducting some studies, either literature or simulation, for photovoltaic technology used in public transportation. In supporting the primary research of the implementation of Transit-Oriented Development’s concept within Kota Tua Jakarta, this research was also delivering the analysis of preferences through the community to designate the appropriate tram shelter within the historical area of Kota Tua Jakarta. By using fuzzy logic, this research has analysed the relevant point of tram shelter within the historical area of Kota Tua Jakarta. It has proposed together with another result of the study to be a good design. Thus, this research has completed some of the Transit-Oriented Development’s basic principles, such as transiting, connecting, and shifting to support the need within the area of Kota Tua Jakarta.

ABSTRACTThe purpose of this study was to know the role of Internal Audit in the prevention and detection of fraud in the Cooperative Employees of PT. Platinum Ceramics Industry. The type of data that is used the use of qulitative data , methods of data collection by study the literature and field study, obtain data in writing of the research literature , reviewing the literature books and scientific papers related to the title of thesis, observation, and interviews. Results of research conducted shows Internal audit in this case supervisor in the Cooperative Employees PT. Platinum Ceramics Industry is still weak and ineffective, because there is a violation in the Standard Operating Procedure (SOP) which can lead to fraud. Standard Operating Procedure violations occur because of the policy of the cooperative management. Cooperative management assessed incorrectly and poorly targeted in the provision of policy which violates the rules of the loan ceiling and ceiling pieces. Decisions adopted a policy exceed the loan limit rules and ceiling pieces can lead to a lot of bad debts, it is because the number of members in the cooperative debt is higher than the number of old age benefits (severance) in the company Keywords: Internal Audit, Fraud Prevention and Detection, Internal Control

Abstract The benefits and advantages of investigative active learning are well documented throughout cognition and educational psychology research literature. But, these techniques are not extensively used in higher education and particularly engineering education. In this paper, a model is presented for applying computer based instruction (CBI) techniques to investigative active learning as practiced in a typical undergraduate heat transfer course. This model is demonstrated with the heat transfer through a composite structural wall problem. An investigative approach is used to coach students as they learn the general solution process. Several different active learning techniques are then applied as a student progresses through each step of the general solution process. These techniques are applicable to any heat transfer problem and when properly implemented, they should improve the learning of the general solution process. The demonstration example is best experienced with a computer. Individuals wishing to explore this model may do so at http://129.118.17.180/mvweb.

Pre Service Teacher

Much of the coursework in pre-service teacher education programs focuses on “best practices” in classroom teaching that span from general pedagogical knowledge and pedagogical content knowledge (e.g., methods, management, assessment, etc.), in addition to supervised practica and student teaching experiences. Given that pre-service (and in-service) education students are being prepared for a career in teaching, coursework should also prepare them to understand, critique, and adapt to changes in best practices that occur over the course of their careers. The authors argue that one of the best ways to prepare students for changes in educational practices is to help them understand where best practices come from in the first place—primary research in education. Reading, thinking critically about, and applying the findings from primary research articles can improve the professional development of pre-service teachers. The goals of this chapter are to 1) provide a review of the benefits of requiring primary research articles as required readings in undergraduate curriculum, 2) underscore the argument for why primary research should be included in pre-service teacher education curriculum, and 3) offer a model for how this could be implemented in a pre-service teacher education curriculum.

Results from focus groups with 23 second- and third-year biology students revealed gradual gains in information literacy (IL) abilities and dispositions needed for them to join the community of scientific practice as laid out in the ACRL Framework for Information Literacy for Higher Education. Students were consumers of information and not yet producers of information. They interacted often with primary research articles but struggled to use research tools effectively; remembered active learning vividly; and relied on video resources, Google, and discussions with peers and instructors to define terms and understand results. Findings support the value of collaboration between librarians and science faculty to incorporate IL skills in the process of scientific discovery.

Purpose. The article is aimed to outline Locke’s position on the basic principles of proper human behavior. Its implementation involves: a) review of the research literature concerning the place of anthropological motive in philosophizing and b) research of his interpretation of human nature and the role of the rational component. Theoretical basis. The author’s approach is based on the conceptual provisions of phenomenology and existentialism. Originality. The work considers the teaching of Locke as the author of the original concept of human nature, which is closely related to the understanding of ethical issues. It is proved that its meaningful development involves the identification of the main components of human nature in the process of determining the basic principles of personality behavior. The original conception of the thinker on the irrational component of human nature and the ways of its rationalization is analyzed. Conclusions. It is substantiated that Locke’s philosophical heritage is not reduced to depersonalized empiricism as epistemology, and his teaching about human is not limited to the abstract study of their rational component. The thinker connects the request of his own epoch with the new vision of human and the basic principles of their behavior on the basis of rationality. Locke is looking for the ways to master the irrational component of human nature and is convinced that in the era of the scientific revolution, the basis of human behavior should be rationality. Locke considers human freedom to be one of the key moments of human nature.

Using Data

In a degree course in electronic engineering, great importance is attached to laboratory work, in which students have the opportunity to develop their creative skills in a practical environment. For example, in the first year of the course they are expected to design and test some basic circuits using data available on the characteristics of the semiconductor devices to be used. Many of the students cannot be prepared sufficiently for this activity by attendance at lectures, in which basic principles are expounded to large classes. Firstyear students have widely differing knowledge, experience and ability in circuit design. Therefore, without individual tuition many of them are insufficiently prepared for their laboratory work. Weaker students often neglect to study the laboratory documentation thoroughly in advance and they make poor progress in the laboratory.DOI:10.1080/0968776950030107
