Surface electromyography holds great potential in helping patients recover from injuries that result in motor impairments. To be able to assist the patient, the clinician must consider research obtained from the study of implicit/explicit learning, contextual interference, and basic learning theory. Quantitative surface electromyography (QSEMG) is a technique that is constructed around this basic research in order to present the optimal learning environment for the patient.

Optimal Learning Environment

One of the most important European Union strategies is development and growth with a help of education, because investment in education is justified economically. Psychologists who work within an education system play an important role. In this article we describe the priorities of psychologists in education. Important priorities of a school psychologist today are: inclusive education conditions and mental health and well-being of a child. Inclusive education is a form of education, when using the curriculum, with different teaching methods and assistance, created optimal learning environment for children needs and skills. Inclusive education improves psychological well-being of a child. We present the findings of child’s psychological well-being strengthening, and psychological support in an inclusive education environment: to provide tools of improvement of mental health and learning environment; to monitor the learning conditions and factors, and predict their impact on a child’s psychological well-being; to develop a portfolio of intervention tools on an individual and institutional level of education; to perform evaluative research that evaluates an efficiency of various positive intervention. There is also important cooperation between psychologists, teachers and others specialists.

Course scheduling is a challenging operations research problem that involves students, faculty members, availability of classrooms, class sizes and many other factors. As it is the case for most scheduling problems, course scheduling is an NP-Hard problem. Due to its challenging nature, frequently the main objective is only to find a feasible solution that satisfies students, faculty and classroom requirements rather than seeking the optimality which results in most effective teaching environment for most students. Such optimal learning environment requires the satisfaction of additional constraints such as the learning capacity of students and the capacity requirements of courses. In this research we investigate the possibility of quantifying course (curriculum) workload and the acquired capacity and suggest as curriculum and/or schedule design methodology that enables a near optimum learning environment for most students.

Optimal Learning Environment

This chapter presents the implementation of games in teaching social studies in primary schools. In Slovenia, social studies lessons combine educational goals from the fields of geography, sociology, history, ethnology, psychology, economy, politics, ethics, and ecology with the national curriculum based on the constructivist approach. Game-based learning enables an optimal learning environment for students. This chapter researches games in social studies. Results show teachers rarely use didactic games in social studies and that games are most commonly used at the beginning of lessons to achieve greater motivation and concentration of students and for more diversified classes. Most respondents' students like game-based learning in social studies and also estimate that games are not played often enough.
