Taschenbuch. Condizione: Neu. Neuware -Mathematics is characterized as rational, abstract and exact. However, the road for learning mathematics starts with concreteness, progress with experimentation and is guided by approximations. Twenty years ago I stumbled over some very straight-forward 3D Geometry problems, which I could not solve. From that moment on, I became increasingly aware about how ludicrous was to live in a 3D world and spend most of the time studying just 2D Geometry. Thus, I started to develop a methodology which effectively could enable me, to learn 3D Geometry and solve those problems. Born in Uruguay, developed in France and tested in USA, emerges iMAT (integrating Multi-type representations, Approximations and Technology) a didactical engineering designed to tackle the inexplicably little explored, yet amazing world of 3D Geometry. The approach, which is deeply rooted in the Epistemology and in the Didactics of Mathematics, has also strong implications for a substantial improvement in the teaching and learning of other mathematical areas. Here, you will find an attempt to open an innovative road for learning mathematics, a road where concreteness and abstraction are wonderfully intertwined.

Taschenbuch. Condizione: Neu. Neuware -The editors and authors of this book are a cadre of scientists and physicians with broad experience and knowledge of diving physiology and decompression theory. As is often the case, it requires a group effort to succeed in advancing practical knowledge. The colloquialism 'the whole is greater than the sum of its parts' is often true and the PHYPODE Research Group epitomizes this concept. By logically grouping the various elements of diving science and medicine with provocative 'food for thought' sections the text offers valuable lessons to those interested in the current state of diving. Despite nearly 170 years of research, the fundamental nature of decompression stress remains elusive. As is well outlined in this book, great advances have been made to the practical elements allowing for safe diving. Nonetheless, there are glaring voids of knowledge related to the nature of bubble nucleation, its consequences and methods to ameliorate risk. The synergy exhibited in this text not only provides a foundation for what is known, it offers a glimpse of where research is taking us. --- Professor Stephen R. Thom, Dept. of Emergency Medicine, University of Maryland School of Medicine. 272 pp. Englisch.

Taschenbuch. Condizione: Neu. Neuware -This quantitative, archival study based upon data that was originally collected using a quasi-experimental design analyzed archival pretest-posttest data regarding inhibition, emotional regulation, working memory, and cognitive flexibility before and after an intervention of a cardiac coherence training program incorporating HRV biofeedback. Sixty-three participants, ages 7 to 14 were involved in the study, including 30 in the treatment group and 33 in the control group. Split-plot analysis of variance (SPANOVA) was used to assess the impact of the intervention for the four dependent variables. SPANOVA yielded no significant differences among inhibition, emotional regulation, working memory and cognitive flexibility in response to the coherence training intervention. Future research in this area would benefit from the utilization of more objective measures of executive functioning. The assessment of treatment acceptability on the part of students and staff would also be an area for future research.

Taschenbuch. Condizione: Neu. This item is printed on demand - it takes 3-4 days longer - Neuware -Over the last few years educative games have been on a rise. They have been shown to improve insight, involvement, engagement in the subject, scientific discourse, reasoning and inquiry. They have been used in schools with success and good results. However recent studies show that in spite of this potential, games are often misused and are hard to integrate in the instructional environment. Often it is not clear what a game contributes to a students learning or how it should be used because of a lack of learning objectives and outcomes. In this study I propose a method that provides and clearly states these learning objectives allowing for a better assessment of the contribution it can of er to the existing instructional environment. To do this I combine the widely used design model ADDIE with the instructional design method 10 steps to complex learning by Merriënboer. This method is then applied in creating the educational game Moth as a proof of concept. 76 pp. Englisch.

Taschenbuch. Condizione: Neu. This item is printed on demand - it takes 3-4 days longer - Neuware -Models of providing quality education to poor students are becoming extinct. This book presents results of successful development and deployment of the Mwalimu Open Educational Resource. As the name suggests, Mwalimu (Teacher) is an online platform that performs all activities expected of a real teacher. This book presents Mwalimu as a new platform for student centred learning in Uganda, whereby students do not only access available content but also contribute to the content pool under the principle of crowdsourcing. The content is structured under four areas including: notes, video lessons, questions and answers, and examinations and solutions. The examinations space is exclusive to the subject consultants, while the rest of the content is sourced from the crowd. The subject consultants also ensure that the crowdsourced content conform to the national curriculum requirements. In effect, the volume of content is the responsibility of the crowd while its quality is the responsibility of the subject consultants. The Mwalimu resource therefore enables poor schools to improve their academic performance despite their inability to afford highly qualified and experienced teachers. 64 pp. Englisch.

Taschenbuch. Condizione: Neu. This item is printed on demand - it takes 3-4 days longer - Neuware -Aggression is significant problem of modern society. We believe that the genetically determined features of neurohumoral status provide the predisposition of organism to impulsive or controlled aggression in humans (to spontaneous and adaptive aggression in animals). The purpose of our work was the research of hormones of gonadal, hypothalamic pituitary adrenal (HPA), thyroid axes in blood and monoamine contents in frontal cortex, hippocampus, cerebellum of rat males with dominant, submissive and balanced types of behavior. The dependence of male behavior type on testosterone level was revealed. Hyperactivity of HPA system was found in submissive animals.The presence of tight negative correlation between testosterone level and HPA axis hormones was shown in males independently of age and behavior type. The decrease of serotonin (5-HT) content in all investigated brain regions in submissive males, increased noradrenaline (NA) level in submissive males and decreased NA level in dominant ones were observed. The significant increase of both NA/5-HT and NA/DA was observed in submissive rats. The significant decrease of NA/5-HT ratio was revealed in dominant rats. 80 pp. Englisch.
