Stem Literacy

“I wanted to thank the individuals or individual who came up with the idea for the STEM kits . . . I am a nanny of three boys aged eight to thirteen years old, and all three enjoy working with the problem-solving skills, engineering, science, and other learning opportunities that the kits offer. Thanks so much for making education exciting and fun!”

Nursing education is a training that requires many cognitive and psychomotor skills to be given to the students. Especially, it is expected that students should do every application skillfully before going out to hospital practice.This study was carried out in order to determine the effect of simulation usage on nursing skill development.These work is a review.There are many advantages to using the simulation in nursing education. These; critical thinking, clinical decision-making and problem-solving skills, a specific situation,skill in simulated education and a case example case can be revitalized versatile. Thus, it is possible to provide students with active learning opportunities to create coherent and comparable experiences; Help students integrate knowledge and skills. Through simulation laboratories, students develop their practice and as a result, mistakes they may make can be reduced.  Keywords: Simulation; nursing education; skill development in nursing.

Intelligent Tutor

In this article we describe aspects of our intelligent tutor for basic algebra. A main goal of the project is to develop a computer tutoring system whose skills and knowledge approximate those of a high-quality human tutor. We are particularly interested in exploring novel learning opportunities that can be made available to students for the first time by exploiting the reactive capabilities of such intelligent tutors. In this context, we focus here on the role of an algebra expert system embedded in the tutor. We discuss how it can be used to help students learn several nontraditional types of skill and knowledge in the context of algebra, including goal-directed reasoning skills, and debugging techniques.

Integration Of Ict

This paper highlights on constructivism approach by integrating ICT for collaborative learning. Constructivism transforms the learner from a passive recipient of information to an active participant in the learning process. The ICT integrated tools provides learning opportunities with which learners formulate and test their ideas, draw conclusions and inferences, and pool and convey their knowledge in a collaborative learning environment.Learners construct their knowledge actively rather than just mechanically ingesting knowledge from the teacher or the textbook. The ICT integrated collaborative learning techniques, help learners to promote content knowledge, critical thinking, and problem-solving skills.

Student Questions

Your calculus students have no doubt posed questions similar to one my students came up with: “Why is the derivative of the area of a circle its circumference, but the derivative of the area of a square is not its perimeter?” Such insightful student questions present auspicious learning opportunities. Wanting to make the most of these learning opportunities in my AP Calculus course ultimately led me to implement investigative calculus projects in which all students explore a question or problem of their own construction. My intent was to strengthen students' problem-solving skills, increase students' understanding of and interest in calculus, make learning more meaningful, and allow students to demonstrate their understanding in a nontraditional way. Not only did my students meet my intentions; a number submitted work that exceeded my expectations. This article traces the development of the projects and showcases three exemplary student projects that encapsulate the richness of student work and the potential for using such projects in a calculus course.

Abstract. Skilful collaborative problem-solving is becoming increasingly important in various life areas. However, researchers are still seeking ways to assess and foster this skill in individuals. In this study, we developed a computer-assisted assessment for collaborative behavior (COLBAS) following the experiment-based assessment of behavior approach (objective personality tests; Cattell, 1958 ). The instrument captures participants’ collaborative behavior in problem-solving tasks using the MicroDYN approach while participants work collaboratively with a computer-agent. COLBAS can thereby assess problem-solving and collaborative behavior expressed through communication acts. To investigate its validity, we administered COLBAS to 483 German seventh graders along with MicroDYN as a measure of individual problem-solving skills and questions regarding the motivation to collaborate. A latent confirmatory factor analysis suggested a five-dimensional construct with two problem-solving dimensions (knowledge acquisition and knowledge application) and three collaboration dimensions (questioning, asserting, and requesting). The results showed that extending MicroDYN to include collaborative aspects did not considerably change the measurement of problem-solving. Finally, students who were more motivated to collaborate interacted more with the computer-agent but also obtained worse problem-solving results.
