those feelings are actually enacted in teaching. Page 22.757.3Teacher AutonomyAutonomy is directly related to motivation 10, 11. Autonomy is when a person‟s “actions arefreely chosen and experienced as emanating from oneself” 12. While research on autonomy ineducation originally focuses on students, more recent research has shown the importance ofteachers‟ sense of autonomy. Pelletier et al. 13 found that teachers‟ perceptions of constraints inthe teaching environment as well as of their students‟ self determination influenced the teachers‟self determination, which finally lead to whether or not the teachers supported their students‟autonomy

Modeling can be used in the design process inmany ways: to avoid expensive and time-consuming tests of physical prototypes, to guide therange of physical models that should be tested, to rule out seemingly reasonable designs that aredestined to fail, to avoid overdesign of components, to explore the likely range of performance ofa device, and to

THINKING TOOL IN CONTEMPORARY MATHEMATICS AbstractThis study examines the relationship among learning, writing, critical thinking, and knowledgeretention. Having noted students‟ surprise at failing a math placement test when they believethey “know” the material on it, the author hypothesizes that a lack of critical thinking about thematerial in earlier math courses allows students‟ memory of it to fade over time. The author usesBloom‟s Taxonomy, as modified and published in 2001, to show the need for higher-levelthinking to facilitate knowledge retention. Writing is used as a principal strategy for stimulatingcritical thinking among students studying Contemporary Mathematics at

The users enter the components of a vector field which are then plotted as shown in Figure10. The users are given a “control volume” whose location can be chosen by the users. Thepurpose of this “control volume” is to provide a means to visualize whether the vector field isconverging or diverging at a particular location. Once the users choose a point that they desire,one user is prompted for an exact calculation of the divergence at the control volume‟s location.If the user answers correctly, the program continues to the next round

This power is given as Power = ½ SV3Where,  represents the density of the air, S represents the area swept by the blades, and Vrepresents the velocity of the wind.If we divide this Power by the section S, then Power / S = ½ V3depends only on the velocity of the wind and the density of the air. This last expression, Power/S,is called Wind Power Density (WPD) and has units of watts/m2.The energy generated from the wind during the interval [0, t] is given by Energy= a) Assuming = 1.225 kg/m3 and a wind blowing with a constant velocity V of 10 m/s through
