  1. 1. Brain-based teaching : behavioral and neuro-cognitive evidence for the power of test-enhanced learning

    Author : Carola Wiklund-Hörnqvist; Bert Jonsson; Lars Nyberg; Linnea Karlsson; Jeffrey D. Karpicke; Umeå universitet; []
    Keywords : SAMHÄLLSVETENSKAP; SOCIAL SCIENCES; learning; memory; memory processes; the testing effect; test-enhanced learning; retrieval practice; evidence-based teaching methods; neuro-cognitive processes; working memory; memory strength; semantic elaboration; Psychology; psykologi;

    Abstract : A primary goal of education is the acquisition of durable knowledge which challenges the use of efficient pedagogical methods of how to best facilitate learning. Research in cognitive psychology has demonstrated that repeated testing during the learning phase improves performance on later retention tests compared to restudy of material. READ MORE

  2. 2. Human-Robot Collaboration for Kinesthetic Teaching

    Author : Julian Salt Ducaju; Institutionen för reglerteknik; []
    Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; Human-Robot Collaboration; Kinesthetic Teaching; Collaborative Robots;

    Abstract : Recent industrial interest in producing smaller volumes of products in shorter time frames, in contrast to mass production in previous decades, motivated the introduction of human–robot collaboration (HRC) in industrial settings, as an attempt to increase flexibility in manufacturing applications by incorporating human intelligence and dexterity to these processes. This thesis presents methods for improving the involvement of human operators in industrial settings where robots are present, with a particular focus on kinesthetic teaching, i. READ MORE

  3. 3. Analog Circuit Topology Development: Practice methods for technology and teaching based on comprehensible transistor models

    Author : Roger Malmberg; Chalmers tekniska högskola; []
    Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; episteme; analog design; circuit synthesis; field-effect transistor; teaching method; phronesis; techne; bipolar transistor; transistor model;

    Abstract : To obtain adequate knowledge for design of robust analog circuits in industry, circuit engineers gain main knowledge from own practice experience, because theory taught by universities rarely states validity limits and result spreads. Therefore, when going from university to industry, the engineers find this theory nontrustworthy and relinquish it. READ MORE

  4. 4. Robotized Production Methods for Special Electric Machines

    Author : Erik Hultman; Mats Leijon; Jörg Franke; Uppsala universitet; []
    Keywords : Industrial robotics; Assembly automation; Large-scale production; Cable winding; Linear generator; Wave energy converter; Wave power; Engineering education; Engineering Science with specialization in Science of Electricity; Teknisk fysik med inriktning mot elektricitetslära;

    Abstract : A research project on renewable energy conversion from ocean waves to electricity was started at the Division of Electricity at Uppsala University (UU) in 2001. The Wave Energy Converter (WEC) unit developed in this project is intended to be used in large offshore WEC farms and has therefore been designed with large-scale production in mind. READ MORE

  5. 5. Two experimental studies in foreign language learning/teaching

    Author : Peter af Trampe; Stockholms universitet; []
    Keywords : SAMHÄLLSVETENSKAP; SOCIAL SCIENCES; Främmandespråk studier och undervisning; Främmandespråksinlärning; Språkinlärning;

    Abstract : The case for experimental research on the efficiency of methods of foreign language teaching is pleaded. In the first study, the effects of different practice materials on beginners' word-decoding ability in Russian was examined. The Russian words were divided into three categories: 1. The KTO-type.
