Author(s):  
John R. Droter, DDS

The T-Scan is an effective patient and doctor education tool for illustrating existing occlusal pathology, as it presents complex occlusal force and timing information in a visual format that is easily understood. The T-Scan applies to all stages of the teaching/learning process because its recorded data forms the framework upon which a doctor/patient discussion can begin regarding the patient's occlusal disease manifestations, the potential benefit of treatments, and the risks of not undergoing corrective treatment. When used as part of an educational strategy, the T-Scan can lead the patient to accept procedures that would benefit their long-term dental health. Chapter 19 outlines the four stages of creating optimum dental health, the steps required to perform effective teaching and learning, the differing styles of teaching and learning utilized in educational forums, and how to best employ the technique of Feature, Function, and Benefit. A few case examples illustrate how T-Scan data can educate a patient about their own occlusal problems, while describing both normal and abnormal occlusal function to a dentist.

Globalisation has made the learning of foreign language very important, however, to provide effective teaching and learning of foreign languages to achieve better performance (anticipated targets) is necessary to understand the factors influencing teaching, learning, and attainment of learning targets of students. Based on factors such as knowing of course content, knowing of assessment schedule, frequent assessment, feedback after assessment, the adoption of adaptive learning system, and individualized learning environment the paper examines their impact on effective teaching and learning as well as better performance of learners at RUDN University. Using sum of squares regression model, it was found that knowing of course content and frequent assessment positively influence effective teaching and learning, while frequent assessment, feedback after assessment, and an individualised learning environment promote better performance of students by helping attain anticipated targets during their foreign language course. This is instructive to stakeholders to take the necessary steps required to help enhance teaching, learning and performance of learners.

ABSTRACTIn order to make innovative curriculum materials more accessible to instructors, a set of teaching, learning, and assessment resources have been created to implement more student-centered pedagogy for many topics in an introductory materials course. The resource development has been based on major principles for effective learning described in the book, How People Learn. The book states that, for more effective teaching and learning, instructors need pay attention to three major principles. One is that they should be aware of students’ prior knowledge and experience and misconceptions in order to inform classroom instruction and materials. As such, we have created tools to assess prior knowledge including the Materials Concept Inventory and Pre-Post Topical Concept Question Sets. Eliciting such information is critical in informing creation of innovative and misconception-informed teaching materials. A second principle is that instructors should create opportunities for student engagement with one another in order to promote conceptual change with deeper content understanding. This will help students build a conceptual framework that facilitates recall and transfer of concepts to new applications. As such, we have created visually-rich, contextualized content to promote student interest and link abstract concepts to concrete applications. The constructivist materials and activities that have been created include: Misconception-Informed Mini-Lecture Slide Sets, topical concept-context maps, a variety of classroom engagement activities, and homework that includes just-in-time preview problems to prepare students for the next class. A third principle is that instructors should promote student reflection so they become more metacognitive learners who can develop their own expertise by defining learning goals and monitoring their own progress. This need was addressed with a Daily Reflection Points sheet that requested students to write down their own class Points of Interest, Muddiness, and Learning. Most of these resources are available on the web at http://concept.asu.edu/. Assessment results showed significant gains on specific course topics using the innovative materials and an increase in persistence of students completing the class that rose from 85% to 95% compared with earlier lecture-based classes.

Cardiovascular disease (CVD) is the most common serious of long term type2 diabetic’s mellitus. It is estimated that most of the T2DM patients causes death due to CVD. Around 90% of CVD can be prevented with proper prediction of diabetes. Type 2 diabetes mellitus begins with insulin resistance, a condition in which it fails to respond to insulin properly. This paper explores Hybrid Wavelet Neural Network to train the system to learn the pattern to predict the disease and Self Organized map method is used for information clustering and visualization of excessive dimensional records to predict the disease with less parameter high accuracy which can help to prevent the disease. Modified Teaching Learning Based Optimization algorithm achieves the optimized learning from the pertained network. Teaching and learning based optimized technique yield better accuracy with a dataset of 770 patients. The measure of accuracy is compared with other algorithms and it is analyzed for further ratification.
