The study of learning derives from essentially two sources. Because learning involves the acquisition of knowledge, the first concerns the nature of knowledge and how we come to know things.... The second source in which modern learning theory is rooted concerns the nature and representation of mental life. References: |
Driscoll (2000) concludes that "the study of learning derives from essentially two sources... The first concerns the nature of knowledge and how we come to know things.... The second ... concerns the nature and representation of mental life" (p. 10).

The game-based laboratory was vastly different from their expectations and experiences of a typical laboratory; this might have resulted in the students being disconnected from the learning aspect of the game. However, the students' comments suggested that their discomfort with the video game was due to the fact that they did not perceive that a video game could really be educational. The game became a disruption to their traditional ways of science learning and interfered with how they perceived the learning experience. This perspective is potentially problematic as it suggests that pedagogical disruptions such as video games that are designed to be powerful learning tools simply may not work for all students. References: |
Since a game-based laboratory provides a virtual environment with different experiences than in a real lab, students may fail to connect these virtual experiences to real lab experiences. Student and teacher beliefs that games are entertainment tools, not educational tools, may minimize the potential of video games intended to help students learn science. References: |

But what are reasonable outcomes of the influence of global processes on education?

The technological tools available today for creating computer-based learning materials are incredibly more powerful than those introduced just a few years ago. We can make our own movies with camcorders in our homes; we can publish our own books. Soon teachers and students will be able to use computer-video technology to produce their own learning materials. All it takes is time, know-how, and some funds. References: |
Frick (1991) claimed that computers would become so powerful that K-12 educators and students would be able to produce their own multimedia and Web-based learning materials. He predicted that teachers and students would soon be able to use computer-video technology to produce their own learning materials. All it would require is time, know-how, and some funds.

It is helpful to think in terms of two basic kinds of change: piecemeal and systemic. Piecemeal change leaves the structure of a system unchanged. It often involves finding better ways to meet the same needs, such as using an analogy to help your students learn the science concepts you taught in an otherwise similar manner last year. In contrast, systemic change entails modifying the structure of a system, usually in response to new needs. References: |
Reiguleth (1999) mentions two different kinds of change: Piecemeal and Systemic change. Systemic change entails modifying the structure of a system, in order to meet new needs. In contrast, piecemeal change leaves the structure of a system unchanged. For example, new innovations instead of traditional methods could be used to engage students in learning. |

This question is concerned with an extension to the flashcard problem you studied in Block 3 Part 2.
In the original flashcard problem, a user can ask the program to show an entry picked randomly from a glossary. When the user presses return, the program shows the definition corresponding to that entry. The user is then given the option of seeing another entry or quitting.
A sample session might run as follows:
Enter s to show a flashcard and q to quit: s Define: word1 Press return to see the definition definition1 Enter s to show a flashcard and q to quit: s Define: word3 Press return to see the definition definition3 Enter s to show a flashcard and q to quit: q
The flashcard program is required to be extended as follows:
Box 1 â Specification of extended problem
As well as being offered a choice between seeing a flashcard or quitting, the user is offered the option of seeing a definition first.
If the user chooses this option, the program picks an entry at random from the glossary and shows the definition for that entry. It then asks the user what word is being defined. When the user presses return the program shows the word concerned.
The user is then given the option of seeing another flashcard, seeing another definition, or quitting.
Apart from this the program behaves like the original version
A sample dialogue might run as follows: (the additional dialogue is underlined.)
Enter s to show a flashcard, d to see a definition, or q to quit: s Define: word3 Press return to see the definition definition3 Enter s to show a flashcard, d to see a definition, or q to quit: d What word is defined by: definition2 Press return to see the word word2 Enter s to show a flashcard, d to see a definition, or q to quit: q
Box 2 â Keeping a notebook
As you work through part (a) of this question you should keep a notebook. You will need this for your answer to part (a)(vi). This should be very brief: it is simply a record of your personal experience while working on the task and what you feel you have learned from it.
In your notebook we suggest that you record the following information
| How | A brief description of how you went about the task. |
| Resources | What documentation if any you consulted (including course materials and any online sources) and which you found most useful. There is no need for full references, just note the source, and in the case of the course materials what the relevant part and section or activity was. |
| Difficulties | Anything you found difficult about the task, and how you dealt with it. |
| Lessons learnt | Anything you learned from the task that would be useful if you faced a similar problem in the future. |
There is more than one way of solving the extended problem but the approach we ask you to follow for this TMA starts by addressing the sub-problem of showing the definition for a random entry and, after the user enters return, showing the word being defined.
a.
⊠the program picks an entry at random from the glossary and shows the definition for that entry. It then asks the user what word is being defined. When the user presses return the program shows the word concerned.
At this stage no looping is involved and the steps of the algorithm only need to do what is asked for in the paragraph above and nothing more.
The steps of your algorithm must be written in English and not use any Python code. The algorithm should be high-level and at a similar level of detail to the solution to Activity 2.24 of Block 3 Part 2, where an algorithm is given for show flashcard.
Begin with the first complete version of the flashcard program, a copy of which is included in the download for this TMA as Q2.py. Save a copy this program as Q2_OUCU.py (where OUCU is your OU computer username, e.g. abc123).
In the next few question parts, you will be amending this file. You will only have to submit the final amended file (as per the instructions in Part v).
Add a new function show_definition() to the program, which translates into Python the steps of the algorithm you wrote in Part i. You should insert the new function just after the show_flashcard() function.
Make sure you write a suitable docstring for the function.
Include your code that defines the function show_definition() in your Solution document.
Debug the code and/or algorithm as necessary. If you need to make modifications you should record them in your notebook.
Copy and paste an example test into your Solution Document. This should demonstrate a definition being shown, the user being asked to enter return, and then the program showing the word concerned.
Alternatively, if you were unable to get the function working correctly, you should still paste in an example test, and explain briefly how the results are different from what you were expecting.
Once you have made the changes, run the whole program. Copy a test dialogue into your Solution document to show the user selecting the option to see a definition, then being asked what word it defines, and then been shown the word concerned.
Include your amended code for the interactive loop in your Solution document.
Alternatively, if you were unable to produce a test dialogue because you could not get the program to function as intended, you should briefly explain how a successful test dialogue would look.
Save your final version of the Python program and submit it as Q2_OUCU.py (where OUCU is your OU computer username, e.g. abc123) in your TMA zip file.
Also paste a copy of your final Python program into your solution document as text.

Darwin's theory of evolution by natural selection is satisfying because it shows us a way in which simplicity could change into complexity, how unordered atoms could group themselves into ever more complex patterns until they ended up manufacturing people. References: |
There is a range of perspectives on Darwin's ideas about evolution. His theory of evolution shows us a way in which simplicity could change into complexity that many find appealing. When Dawkins (1989) states that "Darwin's theory of evolution by natural selection is satisfying" (p. 12), he points to the ability of the theory to explain complex phenomenon.

Murdoch's own moral philosophy has a great deal in common with the work of philosophers like Richard Rorty, Stanley Cavell and Martha Nussbaum. She shares with them not only the attempt to work out a chastened, usable, non-metaphysical discourse and vocabulary for a qualified humanist ethics but also their conception of the novel as an embodiment of moral philosophy. References: |
Murdoch and number of other philosophers all tried to establish a subdued, non-metaphysical, and operational lexicon and discourse for a humanist ethics. According to BĂ©nyei (2003) "Murdoch's own moral philosophy has a great deal in common with the work of philosophers like Richard Rorty, Stanley Cavell and Martha Nussbaum" (p. 151).

Suppose you study a group of successful companies and you find that they emphasize customer focus, or quality improvement, or empowerment; how do you know that you haven't merely discovered the management practice equivalent of having buildings? How do you know that you've discovered something that distinguishes the successful companies from other companies? You don't know. You can't know--not unless you have a control set, a comparison group. References: |
One has to ask oneself how you know that you've discovered something that distinguishes the successful companies from other companies?

Participant motivation to engage in these activities can also be enhanced by providing students with an opportunity to help generate the solutions to tactical problems that exist within net/wall games and have input into game creation. The principles provide a framework of tactical solutions that range from simple to complex (i.e., tactical complexity) and promote understanding of these solutions through creating games that exaggerate their importance and relevance in game settings. References: |
If tactics don't matter and a game is all about pure physical skill, it can become rather boring. The tactical dynamic, especially between players, can lead to unexpected outcomes as a result of player innovation. Furthermore, giving players an opportunity to contribute to creating solutions to problems that are tactical in net/wall games can contribute to enhancing player engagement. |

Educational processes and systems are complex, and any attempt to measure them, especially at this level of aggregation, can only lead to broad and general discussions. However, we contend that this discussion is necessary. Further, attempting to measure global processes in education may provide another puzzle piece to theoreticians as well as national and local policy-makers, who are working at understanding and, in the latter case, steering educational systems.

Educational researchers, policymakers, and practitioners agree that educational research is often divorced from the problems and issues of everyday practice--a split that creates a need for new research approaches that speak directly to problems of practice (National Research Council [NRC], 2002) and that lead to the development of "usable knowledge" (Lagemann, 2002). Design-based research (Brown, 1992; Collins, 1992) is an emerging paradigm for the study of learning in context through the systematic design and study of instructional strategies and tools. We argue that design-based research can help create and extend knowledge about developing, enacting, and sustaining innovative learning environments. References: |
A decade later, researchers interested in studying learning in naturalistic settings (inspired by Brown's approach) began a concerted effort to define the standards and argue the legitimacy of this type of research through design. For example, the Design-Based Research Collective defined design-based research (DBR) as "an emerging paradigm for the study of learning in context, through the systematic design and study of instructional strategies and tools" (DBRC, 2003, p. 5).

Complex learning is the integration of knowledge, skills and attitudes; coordinating qualitatively different constituent skills; and often transferring what was learned in school or training to daily life and work. There are many examples of theoretical design models that have been developed to promote complex learning: cognitive apprenticeship, collaborative problem solving, constructivism and constructivist learning environments, learning by doing, multiple approaches to understanding , star legacy , as well as the subject of this contribution, the Four-Component Instructional Design model. References: |
Van Merriënboer and Kirschner (2007) indicated that complex learning involves the learning of how to complete authentic tasks which require the use and integration of knowledge and skills from multiple domains. Complex learning tasks have no single correct method of completion but instead a range of methods that result in the completion of the task at varying degrees of appeal, efficiency, and effectiveness. They further state that complex learning involves "the integration of knowledge, skills and attitudes; coordinating qualitatively different constituent skills, and often transferring what was learned ... to daily life and work" (p. 4).

Learning from demonstrations is enhanced when learners actively engage in interaction with one another rather than passively observing the demonstration. When learners are required to find a new portrayal of the information that has been presented, they are required to process the information at a deeper level in order to identify and demonstrate this new portrayal. When they are required to demonstrate their new portrayals to one another, this provides additional portrayals of the information being taught, thus increasing the richness of the instruction. References: |

When instructors are creating discussion board activities for online courses, at least two questions must be answered. First, what is the objective of the discussions? Different objectives might be to create a "social presence" among students so that they do not feel isolated, to ask questions regarding assignments or topics, or to determine if students understand a topic by having them analyze and evaluate contextual situations. Based on the response to this question, different rules might be implemented to focus on the quality of the interaction more so than the quantity. The second question is, how important is online discussions in comparison to the other activities that students will perform? This question alludes to the amount of participation that instructors expect from students in online discussions along with the other required activities for the course. If a small percentage of student effort is designated for class participation, our results show that it can affect the quality and quantity of interactions. References: |
According to Moore and Marra's (2005) case study, which observed two online courses, students in the first course implemented a constructive argumentation approach while students in second course had less structure for their postings. As they stated, when instructors create online discussion board activities, they must answer at least two questions. These questions are: "What is the objective of the discussions?" And "How important are online discussions in comparison to the other activities that students will perform?" According to their findings, the discussion activities that were designed based on the answers to these questions can influence the quality and quantity of interactions (Moore & Marra, 2005).

APT was compared with numerous extant methodologies, including the linear models approach and event history analysis. The fundamental difference between APT and these other approaches is that no particular mathematical model is assumed in APT. In APT a model is viewed simply as a temporal pattern, whereas in most other approaches parameters of a mathematical model are estimated from data in which variables are measured separately. Moreover, in APT probabilities of temporal patterns are estimated by relative frequency and duration. References: |
The major difference between Analysis of Patterns in Time and linear statistical models is that APT does not assume any specific mathematical model. Linear models attempt to find statistical relations between variables that have been measured separately. In APT, temporal patterns indicate relationships. Those patterns are counted in order to estimate their likelihoods. References: |

Major changes within organizations are usually initiated by those who are in power. Such decision-makers sponsor the change and then appoint someone else - perhaps the director of training - to be responsible for implementing and managing change. Whether the appointed change agent is in training development or not, there is often the implicit assumption that training will "solve the problem." And, indeed, training may solve part of the problem.... The result is that potentially effective innovations suffer misuse, or even no use, in the hands of uncommitted users. References: |

Teacher's professional use of technology involves preparation for various classroom activities; such as, preparing instructional materials, material, communicating or collaborating with peers, students and their parents, locating digital resources, and creating lesson plans. When technology is used for instructional delivery, the teacher or students can use it. Teachers can present instruction by means of a projector or students may use computer-assisted learning applications such as drill and practice, tutorials, and simulations. technology as a tool, involves student use of basic software applications to extend their abilities to solve problems, create products, or communicate and share their perspectives with each other. References: |
Technology offers a variety of rich opportunities available to teachers and students. According to Inan and Lowther (2010), there are three main purposes to use technology in schools: (a) technology for teachers to prepare instructional activities, plans, materials, and resources; (b) technology for instructional delivery for teachers and students; (c) technology as a learning tool for both teachers and students. Although technology provides a number of advantages for teaching and learning, teachers who try to integrate technology in their classrooms have encountered many obstacles that hinder potential benefits of use of technology. |

1. System 1 decision making is fast, unconscious, automatic and is used in most everyday decisions. System 2 is slow, conscious, effortful and is used in more complex decisions. An example of system 1 decision making is typically portrayed when purchasing convenience items like milk, bread, and eggs. An example of system 2 decision making is when a consumer wants to buy a car and begins looking at all the different specifications. In my opinion, I believe that I use system 1 of the decision making process. I don't have a lot of time and money to consider buying a new car or bigger purchase like that, but I do purchase simple commodities almost everyday. These purchases take almost zero brain power because I purchase these products often.
2. I believe influencer marketing is very important and valuable to companies because "word of mouth" marketing is still the highest and most reliable form of marketing. I know that influencer marketing and word of mouth marketing are not entirely the same, but if a consumer has been following this "influencer" on social media for awhile and builds up respect and trust with them, then the product that the influencer is selling or advertising makes it a more realistic purchase for the consumer. This process could possibly be word of mouth marketing as well, just in a different form. From the company's standpoint, it is important to use the right influencer for the company's target market. A terrible influencer choice for a vegan restaurant would be Steven Rinella. He is on the show Meat Eater, and doesn't resemble any similarities with the target market of the vegan restaurant. This is why it's crucial to get the right influencer to match with the company's target audience. The wrong influencer can drive away potential consumers.

The company's Vice President of Finance, Carla White, is considering using part of the payroll remittances held in trust to cover unexpected operating costs. She has been advised that outstanding Accounts Receivables should cover the short term deficit within the next 60 days. As the Payroll Manager, she has asked you to research the consequences of both "late payment" and "failure to file for the following provincial remittances: . Québec remittances (Québec Pension Plan contributions, Québec Parental Insurance Plan premiums, Québec provincial income tax, health services fund contributions and Commission de la santé et de la sécurité du travail premiums) ⹠Provincial medical premiums and taxes for Ontario and Newfoundland and Labrador The balance in the Québec statutory remittances account plus the provincial medical premiums and taxes would be sufficient to cover the company's operating costs shortfall, so focus on the penalties for those remittances. Consider the fines, penalties and interest charges set out by the above jurisdictions. You currently remit your Québec deductions and have an average monthly remittance of more than $100,000.00. Your annual Ontario payroll is greater than $800,000.00 and your total annual Newfoundland and Labrador remuneration is over $1,300,000.00. Based on your research, prepare a memo, providing Ms. White with your recommendation(s) and the rationale supporting it so that she can make an informed decision. Prepare your response in proper memo format (400 - 500 words) with correct spelling. grammar and punctuation. You will be penalized if you are excessively over or under the suggested word count. It is recommended that you prepare your response using MS Word or a similar word processing software. The information from the external resource(s) and any information taken from the course material must be stated in your own words and cited.
