Saltz, Jeffrey; Heckman, Robert – Themes in Science and Technology Education, 2015
This paper reports on a case study of a project-focused introduction to big data science course. The pedagogy of the course leveraged boundary theory, where students were positioned to be at the boundary between a client's desire to understand their data and the academic class. The results of the case study demonstrate that using live clients…

Wegner, Claas; Weber, Phillip; Ohlberger, Stephanie – Themes in Science and Technology Education, 2014
In order to improve one's teaching in the long run, reflection on the lessons makes up an integral part in the process of developing a sufficient reflection competence. The problem, however, is how this reflection competence can be established in student teachers already and if that concept is compatible with current systems of teacher education…

Sulaiman, Ahmad Nasaruddin; Kassim, Asiah – Themes in Science and Technology Education, 2010
The age of technology has enabled learners to interact with other users outside the four walls of the classroom. Weblogs, in particular, provide a channel for asynchronous computer-mediated communication to take place in the learning process. Motivation is one of the learning aspects that is greatly enhanced by the use of technology.…

Efstathiadi, Lia – Themes in Science and Technology Education, 2010
The paper investigates the semantic area of Epistemic Modality in Modern Greek, by means of a corpus-based research. A comparative, quantitative study was performed between written corpora (informal letter-writing) of non-native informants with various language backgrounds and Greek native speakers. A number of epistemic markers were selected for…

Foreman, Nigel – Themes in Science and Technology Education, 2009
The benefits of using virtual environments (VEs) in psychology arise from the fact that movements in virtual space, and accompanying perceptual changes, are treated by the brain in much the same way as those in equivalent real space. The research benefits of using VEs, in areas of psychology such as spatial learning and cognition, include…
