MATTER KNOWLEDGE [37 records]

Record 1 2024-10-02

English

Subject field(s)
  • Occupation Names (General)
  • Atomic Physics
  • Nuclear Physics
CONT

Nuclear physicists seek to understand not just the familiar forms of [nuclear] matter we see around us, but also exotic forms such as those that existed in the first moments after the Big Bang and that exist today inside neutron stars. The aim is to understand why matter takes on the specific forms now observed in nature and how that knowledge can benefit society in the areas of commerce, medicine, and national security.

OBS

nuclear physics: The physics of atomic nuclei and their interactions, especially in the generation of nuclear energy.

English

Subject field(s)
  • Artificial Intelligence
  • Continuing Education
CONT

... ICAI programs contain two types of knowledge : content knowledge about the subject matter being taught and pedagogical knowledge, that is, knowledge about how to teach the subject.

CONT

Student requests can be handled by applying pedagogical knowledge to decide how best to respond, and to replan instruction if necessary.

CONT

Dynamic instructional planning uses these capabilities to apply pedagogical knowledge to reason about instructional actions that a tutor can perform.

CONT

Separating the domain knowledge base from the teaching knowledge provides tremendous engineering efficiency, allowing the teaching knowledge to be more clearly formalized, evaluated, and reused.

CONT

The most important feature is that the domain knowledge is distinct from the teaching expertise.

Subject field(s)
  • Education Theory and Methods
CONT

The skills needed for effective teaching involve more than just expertise in an academic field. You must be able to interact with people and help them understand a new way of looking at the world. This is not an easy job! Although there are many different ways to teach effectively, good instructors have several qualities in common. They are prepared, set clear and fair expectations, have a positive attitude, are patient with students, and assess their teaching on a regular basis. They are able to adjust their teaching strategies to fit both the students and the material, recognizing that different students learn in different ways.

CONT

Effective teaching can be defined in many ways including teacher behavior(warmth, civility, clarity), teacher knowledge(of subject matter, of students), teacher beliefs, and so forth. Here we define effective teaching as the ability to improve student achievement as shown by research.

French

Domaine(s)
  • Théories et méthodes pédagogiques
CONT

[...] une pédagogie efficace peut se traduire par une réussite scolaire, un développement social et émotionnel, l’acquisition de compétences techniques et une capacité générale à jouer un rôle dans la société.

CONT

Une pédagogie efficace est un processus interactif conçu pour répondre aux besoins et aux styles d'apprentissage de l'élève par le biais de toute une variété de pratiques de l'enseignement.

CONT

Pour ce qui est de l'enseignement efficace, il ressort que l'enseignement explicite (modélisation de l'enseignant et rétroactions) ainsi que l'enseignement réciproque (entre élèves) fournissent les meilleurs résultats.

CONT

Among the classes of mass-transport phenomena in liquids, thermal diffusion(the Soret effect) is... characterized by the existence of a spontaneous matter flux in an inhomogeneously heated fluid mixture, this flux tending to separate the constituents.... From a more industrial point of view, whenever multiconstituent liquids are submitted to long-lasting temperature gradients, they are liable to experience thermal diffusive flows, modifying the distribution of the species concentration. Among the cases where this effect has been emphasized, we can mention the elaboration of high technology materials(solidification of semiconductors), the production or purification of light metals... and the optimization of petroleum extraction(by modelling of the hydrocarbon distribution in the reservoirs). So, knowledge of quantitative values of the Soret coefficient(which is the parameter characteristic of the phenomenon) for a wide domain of materials, in various thermodynamic conditions and physical configurations is needed for the above-mentioned basic and applied purposes.... The experimental determination of Soret coefficients in binary mixtures, denoted ST, is obtained by measuring the steady concentration gradient produced by the imposition of a constant and uniform temperature gradient. This concentration gradient achieves a stationary state when thermal diffusion and interdiffusion(which tends to rehomogenize the mixture) exactly compensate each other.

CONT

The goal of having an implemented process model of expertise is an interesting constraint for the definition of the subject matter. For a model to be operational, knowledge cannot be merely enunciated and explained : it must be put to work. Thus, all the knowledge critical to the target behavior has to be captured in the model of expertise, including the knowledge required for appropriately using knowledge. The fact that this model must be able to solve the same problems the student will eventually learn to solve ensures that, at some level of epistemic fidelity, it is complete.

CONT

In the representation of the subject matter, process models have been used to simulate two types of processes: 1) to model the phenomena the student has to understand, such as electronic circuits in SOPHIE and rainfall in WHY, 2) to model parts of the actual reasoning process the student learns to perform (ACTP tutors).

CONT

... the ideal component of the process model contains plans that describe how more complex tasks can be accomplished using a sequence of simpler tasks and commands, and have been implemented as a hierarchy of frames.

CONT

... a process model of the student’s decision making....

Compare to mental state and mental models. See knowledge state.

DEF

A unit of knowledge including pedagogical issues around which the architecture of a tutoring system is organized. Each bite is itself a miniature system focused on a specific piece of the subject matter. In addition to some domain knowledge, it includes : 1) knowledge about its conceptual relations to other bites, such as part/whole, class/subclass, or analogical relations; 2) knowledge about its curricular relations to other bites, such as pre-and postrequisites, so that it can trigger remedial actions; 3) indication about the student's mastery of its part of the subject matter(a miniature student model, which in conjunction with other bites forms a type of overlay) ;4) the ability to diagnose the student's use and disuse of this knowledge by taking the blame for suboptimal actions; 5) the ability to generate problems that involve the use of this knowledge; 6) the ability to generate instructional interventions related to this knowledge.

DEF

In ICAI, a representation of the knowledge to be communicated. This representation of the subject matter is not only a description of the various concepts and skills that the student is to acquire, as in a curriculum, but an actual model, which can perform in the domain and thus provide the system with a dynamic form of expertise.

See expert module.

No matter how we consider the family of level sets, they are objects scattered in topo. For this reason we can use a non-two-valued logic to handle them by "fuzzy optimization".... In fuzzy optimization, "the best" is a new evaluation in the structure of all evaluations, pulling back toward a synthesis. Any fuzzy optimization problem is an exploration of a knowledge tree. The constraints are partial sources of knowledge of partical descriptions of a common universe of discourse... the universe of alternatives... and by conjunction complete knowledge is derived.

The system's knowledge of the subject matter, the geography of South America, is represented in a semantic network whose nodes stand for geographical objects and concepts. Since these objects and concepts are organized in a partial hierarchy with relations like superpart, superconcept, and superattribute, some simple inferences can be made by propagation of inherited properties via these hierarchical links.
