Selecting the game-based activity that best accomplishes your learning goals shouldgo hand in hand with an activity that aligns with the interests of the participants. For instance,certain individuals do not engage well with competitive type games. In this case, use of acooperative game would be better suited for the class environment [9].Debriefing is a vital aspect of game-based learning strategies as it provides feedback to helplearners reflect on their experience and understand how games can improve overall instructionaleffectiveness [12].

. • The result of a departmental initiative requiring staff to write Learning Objectives for each course highlighted the unfamiliarity and reluctance felt by many staff in engaging with the process of reframing their teaching in this way.It is suggested that a major contributing factor to each of these issues, is the lack ofunderstanding and acknowledgement by engineering academic staff of the usefulness ofeducational “tools” and theory linking, for example, Learning Objectives andAssessment.Nature of the problemIt is suggested that the over-arching problem that needs addressing is how to leadacademics in a research-led university to reflect on their teaching practice with the aid

The five required journal assignments are: Journal 1 - Reflection on outstanding college professors - Name four adjectives that you feel define an outstanding college professor. Thinking back to outstanding college professors you've encountered in the past, cite at least one specific example of actions that exemplify each of the four adjectives.

However, inspite of the corrective actions the final grades of the two groups showed distinctdivergence. This prompted the authors to explore Kolb’s Learning Style Theory toinvestigate possible psychological variances among the two groups. The results of thisstudy shows that the Engineering students tend to have a penchant for ‘AbstractConceptualization’ over ‘Concreteness’, while Management students had a preference for‘Active Experimentation’ over ‘Reflection’. Relevant data supporting this finding alongwith a statistical interpretation are provided here. Introduction The

Arguably the most significant contribution in the paper was showing that trace gascompositions in the furnace air can lead to tarnishing of the glass surface. Faraday showed thattrace amounts of CO reduced the lead oxide at the surface of the glass. The method used byFaraday for measuring the reflectivity is shown in the figure below. The intensity of the shadowfrom a lights source at a distance D2 is matched with the intensity of the shadow from the lightsource reflected from the glass measured at distance D1.

The first metric is time, represented by a clock that changes as decisionsare made. The other three metrics are safety, personal reputation, and output. Performance onthese metrics is shown by an icon that indicates relative performance (i.e, a smile indicates goodperformance, a frown indicates negative performance, etc.). Within the virtual environment,participants are also given reflection prompts that seek to better understand the conditions thatmight have influenced their decisions.

].Fundamental Cognitive Capacities According to Bandura human cognitive capacities that can predict individual’sperformance include ability to use symbols, learning through observation, planning, self-regulation, and self-reflection [1]. A brief description of each of these human cognitivecapacities follows. Ability to Use Symbols. By the use of symbols, humans transform immediate visualexperiences into internal cognitive models that in turn serve as guides for their actions. Throughsymbolizing, people also ascribe meaning, form and duration to their past experiences. Learning Through Observations. Learning can also occur indirectly by observing otherpeople’s behavior and its outcomes. Individuals’ capacity to learn by observation

The advantage for using thistype of laser is that it generates low energy red photons having about two to three electron-volt energy andpossessing perfect reflectivity. The low energy photons have negligible low penetration. The paper explains amethodology for non-contact measurement of radius of curvature on the finished surface of manufactured parts.

This theory is the body of knowledge that has been generated by aprocedural scientific research. Thus, scientific knowledge is the basis of practice. Aldus Huxley hassaid that pursuit of theoretical knowledge may lead us to practice, but practicing without theory maynot reverse generate a relevant theory. Similarly Darkenwald and Merriam (1982) profess, "Theorywithout practice leads to empty idealism, and action without philosophical reflection is mindlessactivism".
