English

Subject field(s)

It would be wildly incorrect to say that all the products are much of a muchness but most retrofit fire control systems will contain a laser rangefinder, a target tracking system which can compute and indicate future target tracks and positions, and a central fire control computer capable of accepting ammunition type, meteorological and similar data from sensors located around the user vehicle.

Record 4 1999-04-28

English

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

The student’s response serves primarily as a means of determining whether the communication process has been effective and at the same time allows appropriate corrective action to be taken.

CONT

While feedback is generally concise information about a response, remediation refers to the more extensive presentation of information for the student who is not learning the material. Tutorials vary from giving no remediation to giving remediation following each student response error. ... The most common remediation procedure is to repeat information already seen. ... A similar technique is to provide restatements of information with new and simpler wording.

CONT

... in many teaching situations, diagnosis and remediation will be tightly interwoven into one dialogue, as they are in the Socratic method.

CONT

... a more informative student model is able to provide an explicit representation of the student's incorrect versions of the target expertise so that remedial actions can be taken.

Record 5 1998-04-03

English

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

The study of design and purpose in natural phenomena.

CONT

In trying to model the way students build incorrect procedures, it is reasonable to assume initially that they perceive the teleology of the procedures(that is, the goals of its steps), but that erroneous teleological rationalizations lead them to choose forms of the skill that differ from the intended one. A study adopting this perspective would concentrate on the way students "understand" procedures. An interesting issue in this regard is the use of manipulative models such as Dienes blocks or abaci, included in some curricula. These models are intended to impart some semantic understanding of procedure to students, and require an analogical transfer to the target procedure.
