conceptual understanding in statics1. Their study asked students to describein concrete language the process they took to solve (mathematical) problems. Though thiswritten reflection did not improve procedural knowledge, “[b]y having student explain theirmathematical solutions, students can make links between problem-solving procedures and courseconcepts. Writing may also be used to promote reflection, which can result in metacognitivethinking and adaptive problem solving”3. These written process descriptions process showed“significant gains in conceptual understanding”1. Rittle-Johnson and Alibali state that conceptualknowledge stems from understanding the principles that govern a domain as well as how piecesof knowledge connect to one another in a
systems use variable speed motors and provide continuousventilation. Three sets were used in the following manner: a) ventilation across thekitchen/living area, b) ventilation through the two bedrooms, and c) high/low ventilation in thebathroom area. In order to meet the ASHRAE residential ventilation standards, the manufacturermodified the systems so that their highest speed air flow rate was approximately 10% higher thanthe European factory settings. The continuous movement of cross ventilation air assisted thedistribution of conditioned air within the building envelope, while helping to control bathroomand kitchen related humidity. While the installed cost of the three-pair Lunos e2 system wasgenerally expensive, its relatively low power
