  2. 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

  4. 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

  5. 3. The development and implementation of software for palaeoenvironmental and palaeoclimatological research : the Bugs Coleopteran Ecology Package (BugsCEP)

    Author : Philip Buckland; Roger Engelmark; Geoffrey Lemdahl; Paul Sinclair; Umeå universitet; []
    Keywords : HUMANIORA; HUMANITIES; Quaternary geology; environmental archaeology; quaternary science; Coleoptera; beetles; database; environmental reconstructions; climate reconstructions; software; Mutual Climatic Range; MCR; palaeoentomology; Kvartärgeologi; Archaeology; Arkeologi; Archaeology; arkeologi;

    Abstract : This thesis documents the development and application of a unique database orientated software package, BugsCEP, for environmental and climatic reconstruction from fossil beetle (Coleoptera) assemblages. The software tools are described, and the incorporated statistical methods discussed and evaluated with respect to both published modern and fossil data, as well as the author’s own investigations.

  6. 4. 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

  7. 5. The role of ICT in the shift towards student-centred learning in higher education : Eduardo Mondlane University, Mozambique: A case study

    Author : Xavier Muianga; Henrik Hansson; Jarkko Suhonen; Stockholms universitet; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; ICT; student-centred learning; pedagogical innovation; educational models; factors in ICT implementation; professional development; higher education; developing countries; Computer and Systems Sciences; data- och systemvetenskap;

    Abstract : Over recent decades, there has been a significant rise in the use of information and communication technology (ICT) and a greater emphasis on student-centred learning (SCL) in higher education all over the world. The introduction of ICT- and SCL-based approaches is intended to improve the quality of teaching and learning to better prepare students for the 21st century workplace. READ MORE
