Data Mining Practical Machine Learning Tools and Techniques

Preparing the books to read every day is enjoyable for many people. However, there are still many people who also don't like reading. This is a problem. But, when you can support others to start reading, it will be better. One of the books that can be recommended for new readers is experience and education. This book is not kind of difficult book to read. It can be read and understand by the new readers.

Experience and Education.

The power of feedback.

Traditional engineering instruction is deductive, beginning with theories and progressing to the applications of those theories Alternative teaching approaches are more inductive Topics are introduced by presenting specific observations, case studies or problems, and theories are taught or the students are helped to discover them only after the need to know them has been established This study reviews several of the most commonly used inductive teaching methods, including inquiry learning, problem-based learning, project-based learning, case-based teaching, discovery learning, and just-in-time teaching The paper defines each method, highlights commonalities and specific differences, and reviews research on the effectiveness of the methods While the strength of the evidence varies from one method to another, inductive methods are consistently found to be at least equal to, and in general more effective than, traditional deductive methods for achieving a broad range of learning outcomes

Inductive Teaching and Learning Methods: Definitions, Comparisons, and Research Bases

THE FIFTH DISCIPLINE The Art & Practice of the Learning Organization

This paper describes a model for laboratory education based on
Kolb’s experiential learning theory. The method is implemented
using modern teaching technologies and a combination of remote,
virtual, and hands-on laboratory sessions and have been applied to
the teaching of the undergraduate process control laboratory at the
Chemical Engineering Department at Loughborough University,
United Kingdom. An argument that poor learning in the laboratory
is due to insufficient activation of the prehension dimension
of Kolb’s cycle was suggested and verified, providing a pedagogical
explanation. The quantitative analysis showed significant
enhancement of the learning outcomes of the experimental group
compared with the control group. Apart from the hands-on
session, the proposed model involves additional activities, such as
pre- and post-lab tests and virtual laboratory sessions, which are
associated with Kolb’s cycle to facilitate constructivist learning.
The paper provides the first laboratory education model that
builds thoroughly on Kolb’s experiential learning theory.

Applying Kolb's Experiential Learning Cycle for Laboratory Education

The notion of 'orchestrating learning' has gained acceptance within the TEL research community in recent years. However, there is little consensus about what 'orchestration' means, and what orchestrating learning in a concrete educational context entails. This paper aims to address these two concerns. Through a literature review focused especially on the field of TEL, we provide definitions of this orchestration, and gather the most commonly cited aspects of orchestration into a unified conceptual framework. This emergent framework is then used as an analytical lens to structure data from an existing case study in order to illustrate its usefulness as a tool to understand and propose new solutions to aid orchestration in complex, real-world TEL situations. Although further theorisation and modelling of orchestration is still needed, the presented framework provides a first step, backed up by a serious review of the field.

Orchestrating technology enhanced learning: a literature review and a conceptual framework

This paper introduces a novel model of laboratory education, namely the TriLab. The model is based on recent advances in ICT and implements a three access modes to the laboratory experience (virtual, hands-on and remote) in one software package. A review of the three modes is provided with highlights of advantages and disadvantages of each mode. It is shown that recent literature on laboratory education recommends hybrid structures. Some literature has reported on the use of two modes hybrid structures, however, it is seldom reported to have triple access mode laboratory. This paper probably the first to report empirical findings of using the three components together. The virtual component of the TriLab has been mainly used in a preparation session for undergraduate students, while the remote component has been mainly used for demonstrating theory applicability in postgraduate courses. The empirical findings shows clearly the positive impact of the hybrid approach on students learning and motivation, these are discussed in light of pedagogical and cognitive psychology theories.

The TriLab, a novel ICT based triple access mode laboratory education model

This paper provides a snapshot of emerging trends in mathematics teaching in higher education for STEM subjects (Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics). Overwhelmingly, papers identify a focus on conceptual understandings of mathematics in comparison to understanding that is instrumental or procedural. Calls for reform of mathematics teaching have been the basis for a range of studies; responses to these calls have embraced innovative methods for implementing changes in learning and teaching of mathematics, sometimes rooted in constructivist ideology. Observed trends have been categorised in six groups. In many studies, technology is being used as an enabler of reforms. Constraints to implementing new approaches in mathematics teaching are indicated. Discussion of contemporary research questions that could be asked as a result of the shift towards teaching mathematics in innovative ways is provided and is followed by a critique of the underlying theoretical positions, essentially that of constructivism.

Innovative approaches to teaching mathematics in higher education: a review and critique

Laboratory education is a core part of engineering curricula; engineering students generally prefer to work on something real. The classical mode and the oldest form of laboratory education is the hands-on mode. Advances in information and communication technologies have contributed to the laboratory education by creating two new modes, the simulated (virtual) mode and the online controlled mode (remote). Recently, developments or utilizations of hybrid structures of two types (e.g., virtual and hands-on, or remote and hands-on) have been reported in the literature; however, until now there are no reports of hybrid structures of the three types together. This paper describes the technical development of a novel laboratory model that combines the three modes in one unifying software package, namely the TriLab, by using Laboratory Virtual Instrument Engineering Workbench (LabVIEW). It is shown that LabVIEW provides a single programming environment for developing all components of the TriLab. Furthermore, it is shown that the Joomla web content management system can be used as a solution for efficient deployment of a remote lab online portal on the top of the LabVIEW core software. The development of the TriLab using LabVIEW and Joomla for an Instrumentation and Control Engineering Laboratory rig is shown. The analysis of student survey is presented which has shown positive impact of the pedagogical utilization of the TriLab. This is the first paper which aims to provide engineering academics a generic architecture and software solutions to rapidly develop their own TriLab. © 2010 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.
