Such a system theoretically can optimize student learning by recommending instructional sequences (i.e., temporal patterns) that have high probabilities of resulting in student mastery. In other words, APT-based decision making by a computer program can provide an empirical foundation for artificial intelligence.References:Frick, T. W. (1990). Analysis of patterns in time: A method of recording and quantifying temporal relations in education. American Educational Research Journal, 27(1), 180-204.One way that learning can be personalized is through the use of computers to aid in "recommending instructional sequences (i.e., temporal patterns) that have high probabilities of resulting in student mastery" (Frick, 1990, p. 202). However, the ability for computers to make appropriate decisions about instructional strategies is limited, in part, by the quality of information they have access to.References:Frick, T. W. (1990).

The health of instructional-design theory also depends on its ability to involve stakeholders in the design process.Reference 1:Reigeluth, C. M. (1999).

Needham Heights, MA: Allyn & Bacon.Driscoll (2000) defines instruction broadly as "any deliberate arrangement of events to facilitate a learner's acquisition of some goal" (p. 25). In order to increase the effectiveness of instruction, there is a critical need for the creation and refinement of instructional design theories to aid those who seek to promote learning.

But when they interact, they create slightly different overall configurations at every place. This happens because no two places on earth are perfectly alike in their conditions. And each small difference, itself contributes to the difference in conditions which the other patterns face.References:Alexander, C. (1979). The timeless way of building (Vol. 1). New York, NY: Oxford University Press USA.Alexander connects simple patterns to the apparent complexity that seems to surround us. The fact that no two places on earth are perfectly alike means that when simple patterns interact they create slightly different overall configurations at every place. This is analogous to the way that the result of math equation can be changed using different variables.undefinedWhich of the following is true for the Student Version above?

The punishment sentence is determined only after a defendant has been found guilty. It might seem that this is a relatively minor procedural issue. Yet, the order of this decision-making can mean the difference between life and death, or even between conviction and acquittal.References:Dixit, A. K., & Nalebuff, B. J. (1991).Thinking strategically: The competitive edge in business, politics, and everyday life. New York, NY: Norton.Innocent or guilty courtroom decisions are often high-stakes. However, the precise consequences of the verdict is unknown in U.S. judicial systems when the guilt versus innocence decision is being made.

One is the establishment of a core ideology that Collins and Porras (2002) describe as "core values and sense of purpose beyond just making money" (p. 48).

Although such a goal may be desired and valued by our society, ways to achieve this goal are less understood. If elementary physical education is to assist children in developing skills and understanding that will serve as the foundation for future activities, then educators at all levels need to develop ways to foster these skills and understanding across numerous types of activities.References:Mandigo, J.

It must accurately describe a large class of observations on the basis of a model that contains only a few arbitrary elements, and it must make definite predictions about the results of future observations.References:Hawking, S., & Mlodinow, L.

Making an Evaluation For this essay, you will need to create an evaluation of Daughter from Danang or The Gangster We Are All Looking For.   When you write an evaluation essay, you are making an overall judgment of your topic, backing up your judgment with explanation and support, and then finally returning to your evaluation in the conclusion—either by restating it, or adding a new twist to it. Unlike a personal narrative of a remembered event, the supporting paragraphs in the heart of your essay come from evidence rather than personal memory.   A sample evaluation:  The Gangster We Are All Looking For  deliberately confuses the reader. It incorporates dream-states and real-life states to give us a glimpse into the narrator’s child-like mind.  Your essay has to contain the following sections: Introductory paragraph that either gives background to your subject or states your evaluation. At least three body paragraphs that support your evaluation through examples from the text or film. You can place your thesis in the beginning of the second paragraph if your first paragraph gives background information. A conclusion. In addition, your essay must handle the following two concerns: Another important aspect of an evaluation is your anticipation of other viewpoints. You can easily incorporate your understanding of other viewpoints by devoting one of your body paragraphs to possible objection s. This is known as counterarguing.  Example: Heidi Bub is a selfish American girl, who does not have enough cultural sensitivity to understand her Vietnamese family. Possible counterargument/objection: Yes, but she was ill-prepared to face the cultural differences.  Alternative counterargument: Yes, but the film manipulates us into thinking she is ignorant. We don’t know the “real” Heidi Bub. Solution: A series of sentences that address one of these objections. “While” clauses are helpful here.  While it may seem that Heidi Bub was ill-prepared for her journey to Vietnam, common sense suggests otherwise. Indeed, she would have sufficient information about Vietnam stored in her personal memory (after all, she left at age 7) to realize the need for intensive preparation. Had Heidi left her homeland at a younger age, her lack of understanding would be more palatable. In the film, however, it comes off as downright ignorant. (You could insert a piece of dialogue from the film here.) 2.  This leads to the second important concern:  To support your evaluation, you will need to bring in evidence.   We will spend time in-class on incorporating textual evidence; however, you do need to “rough it in,” or basically know where you want it in your paper. (It really is quite similar to what contractors do when saving room for windows and doors in houses before they are built.)
