Alabama State University conducted an experiment in teaching the disadvantaged. The major purpose of the project was to indicate that deprived youth can learn the same as more privileged youth, if their difficulties are diagnosed, if they are taught and exposed to quality instruction, and if they are provided with whatever empirical evidence indicates they need. The one group technique of the experimental method was employed wherein two potential teachers who exhibited talent and academic...

Tacit communication, taking place without face-to-face or written interaction, refers to inferences made and action taken on the basis of mutual knowledge or assumptions about the other's probable responses. Implicit communication is the expression of intent to...

When students generate mind maps, or concept maps, the maps are usually on paper, computer screens, or a blackboard. Human Mind Maps require few resources and little preparation. The main requirements are space where students can move around and a little creativity and imagination. Mind maps can be used for a variety of purposes, and Human Mind Maps are no different. The topics you choose can be abstract; they can be controversial; they can be arguments for and against a proposal; they can be...

Intervention by judges in CEDA (Cross Examination Debate Association) debates is inappropriate: critics should not strive to impose their views on debates. It is important to consider the ramifications of judge intervention due to the recent increase in critics who impose their paradigm on the debate participants. Two very recent trends are particularly disturbing: language use intervention; and judges who allow debaters to converse with them and add arguments that the critic may not have...

New users learning to use text-processing systems, especially those who are using self-study materials without expert supervision, must often make sense of actions and events in situations where they have little basis, in prior knowledge or current information, for inferring what is happening or why. Many cases have been observed where learners were able to generate an explanation to account for some particular fact or event, despite this limited knowledge. This process of explanation...

The possibilities for using graphic calculators to enhance the teaching and learning of mathematics are great. However, the boundaries explode when these powerful tools for learning are connected to data logging devices: a whole new approach to mathematics learning becomes possible. Using real world data to introduce the main functions (which are the bread-and-butter of high school mathematics) invites an experimental approach to the subject and encourages students to engage actively in their...
