Purposive Learning01:22

Purposive Learning

E. C. Tolman emphasized the purposiveness of behavior — the idea that much of our behavior is goal-directed. For instance, employees who aim for a promotion work diligently to meet their targets. Tolman argued that when classical conditioning and operant conditioning occur, the organism acquires certain expectations. In classical conditioning, a child might fear a dog because they expect it to bite. In operant conditioning, a person might consistently work overtime because they expect a bonus...

Study Design in Statistics

A study design is a set of techniques that allow a researcher to collect and analyze data from different variables defined for a specific research problem. Statistics is commonly for effective study design and more robust experiments,
Does aspirin reduce the risk of heart attacks? Is one brand of fertilizer more effective at growing roses than another? Is fatigue as dangerous to a driver as the influence of alcohol? Questions like these are answered using randomized experiments with proper...

Design Example: Sustainability in Concrete Building

As the construction industry moves towards more eco-friendly practices, concrete's adaptability and its ability to incorporate sustainable features make it a key material in the drive towards greener building solutions.
There are multiple approaches to achieve sustainability in a commercial concrete building. For instance, construct a concrete parking area under the building, utilizing pervious concrete paver blocks in open areas to facilitate rainwater collection through an underground cistern.

Critical Thinking II

Critical thinking is a cognitive process with several attributes. The attributes of critical thinking include the following:
Design Consideration01:22

Design Consideration

Designing a structure involves a series of considerations, primarily the material's ultimate strength, calculated through tests that measure changes under increased force until the material reaches its breaking point or limit. The ultimate load, where the material breaks, is divided by its original cross-sectional area, resulting in the ultimate normal stress or strength. The ultimate shearing stress is another significant factor taken into account.
The factor of safety is another key aspect...
Experimental Designs01:16

Experimental Designs

An experimental design is a systematic process that allows researchers to evaluate the relationship between dependent and independent variables. There are three widely used types of experimental design - pre-experimental design, true experimental design, and quasi-experimental design. In pre-experimental design, the researcher compares the data before and after some interventions or treatments. The true-experimental design has more than one purposefully created group, a commonly measured...

    Area of Science:

    • Educational Psychology
    • Pedagogy

    Background:

    • Growing trend towards student-centered education.
    • Shift from instructor-led ('sage on the stage') to facilitator-led ('guide on the side') model.
    • Increased emphasis on student learning over traditional teaching.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To explore the shift towards active and student-centered learning methods.
    • To highlight the importance of instructor as a facilitator.
    • To identify key active learning strategies.

    Main Methods:

    • Literature review on pedagogical shifts.
    • Analysis of educational trends in higher education.
    • Categorization of active learning strategies.

    Main Results:

    • Identification of a significant move towards student-centered learning.
    • Confirmation of the 'guide on the side' model as a key pedagogical approach.
    • Commonly adopted active learning methods include collaborative, cooperative, problem-based, and project-based learning.

    Conclusions:

    • The educational landscape is evolving towards more active and student-centered learning.
    • Instructors must adopt facilitator roles and integrate diverse active learning methods.
    • These methods foster deeper student engagement and ownership of learning.
