Subject field(s)

What is inquiry-based learning? Based on John Dewey’s philosophy that education begins with the curiosity of the learner, inquiry in the classroom places the responsibility for learning on the students and encourages them to arrive at an understanding of concepts by themselves.

Key term(s)
  • enquiry-based learning
  • enquiry learning

French

Domaine(s)
  • Théories et méthodes pédagogiques
CONT

Un troisième modèle pédagogique utilisé pour les domaines mal définis est l'apprentissage par investigation, une approche constructiviste [...] L'apprentissage par investigation consiste à découvrir des connaissances en accumulant des évidences et en construisant et testant des hypothèses.

Record 2 2003-11-18

English

Subject field(s)
  • Fluid Mechanics and Hydraulics (Physics)
  • Meteorology
DEF

A surface separating two fluids, across which there is a discontinuity of some fluid property, such as density, velocity, etc., or of some derivative of one of these properties in a direction normal to the interface.

CONT

Internal boundary layers are associated with the horizontal advection of air across a discontinuity in some property of the surface (e.g., aerodynamic roughness length or surface heat flux) and can be viewed as layers in which the atmosphere is adjusting to new surface properties.

OBS

... the equations of motion do not apply at the interface but are replaced by the kinematic and dynamic boundary conditions.

French

Domaine(s)
  • Mécanique des fluides et hydraulique (Physique)
  • Météorologie
DEF

Surface de séparation de deux fluides caractérisée par une discontinuité d'une propriété de ces fluides, telle que densité, vitesse, etc., ou d'une dérivée quelconque d'une de ces propriétés dans une direction normale à l'interface.

OBS

Les équations du mouvement ne s'appliquent donc pas à l'interface; elles sont remplacées par les conditions aux limites cinématiques et dynamiques.

Spanish

Campo(s) temático(s)
  • Mecánica de fluidos e hidráulica (Física)
  • Meteorología
DEF

Superficie de separación entre dos fluidos en la que hay una discontinuidad de alguna propiedad del fluido, como la densidad, la velocidad, etc., o de algún derivado de una de esas propiedades en una dirección normal al interfaz.

OBS

Por consiguiente, las ecuaciones de movimiento no se aplican al interfaz, sino que son sustituidas por las condiciones límites cinemáticas y dinámicas.
