  2. 11. Reading Nature : Developing ecological literacy through teaching

    Author : Ola Magntorn; Gustav Helldén; Michael Reiss; Linköpings universitet; []
    Keywords : SAMHÄLLSVETENSKAP; SOCIAL SCIENCES; Readiing nature; Ecology; Outdoor studies; Teaching; Education; Pedagogik;

    Abstract : In this study the concept reading nature and its contribution to science education is discussed. Some scientific concepts relevant for reading nature are defined. Reading nature has to do with the ability to recognise organisms and relate them to material cycling and energy flow in the specific habitat which is to be read. READ MORE

  4. 12. Computational models for intent recognition in robotic systems

    Author : Michele Persiani; Thomas Hellström; Sven Magg; Umeå universitet; []
    Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; Intent Recognition; Robotics; Plan Recognition; Speech; Affordances; Computer Science; datalogi;

    Abstract : The ability to infer and mediate intentions has been recognized as a crucial task in recent robotics research, where it is agreed that robots are required to be equipped with intentional mechanisms in order to participate in collaborative tasks with humans.Reasoning about - or rather, perceiving - intentions enables robots to infer what other agents are doing, to communicate what are their plans, or to take proactive decisions.

  5. 13. 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

  6. 14. Is College Science Teaching Women's Work? : Gender Inequity in the Physical Sciences

    Author : Katherine Doerr; Catherine Riegle-Crumb; USA The University of Texas at Austin; []
    Keywords : SAMHÄLLSVETENSKAP; SOCIAL SCIENCES; gender; work; teaching; science; Naturvetenskapernas didaktik; Science education;

    Abstract : After decades of virtual exclusion from participation in STEM, women have majored in, earned graduate degrees in, and forged careers in male-dominated fields such as the physical sciences in increasing numbers. At each step of the way, however, women’s participation diminishes, and this is especially apparent in the workforce. READ MORE

  7. 15. The function concept and university mathematics teaching
