Do Classroom Teaching Methods Incorporate All Types of Learning Styles?
An individual’s learning style is a natural pattern of processing or acquiring knowledge. Three types of learning styles that were studied are visual, auditory, and kinesthetic (tactile). An individual’s ability to acquire knowledge depends upon the style of instruction received by the teacher. The purpose of this project was to examine whether the teaching methods used in a high school biology classroom take into account different types of student learning styles. Student teaching in a biology class has given the author the opportunity to study the learning needs of the students. The participants were given a questionnaire during class asking each student to answer questions that would reflect their preferred style of learning. The students were also asked what methods were used during instruction that satisfied their learning style needs or caused them to struggle. The author then analyzed the data from the questionnaire to determine if the students felt their learning needs were met
A note on big Ramsey degrees
Generalizing and simplifying recent work of Dobrinen, we show that if
is a finite binary relational language and is a
finite set of finite irreducible -structures, then the class
has finite big Ramsey degrees.Comment: A more complete introduction and an appendix on forcing have been
added. The proof of Theorem 3.1 has been tweaked to more closely follow the
presentation of the appendi
A note on minimal models for pmp actions
Given a countable group , we say that a metrizable flow is
model-universal if by considering the various invariant measures on , we can
recover every free measure-preserving -system up to isomorphism. Weiss has
constructed a minimal model-universal flow. In this note, we provide a new,
streamlined construction, allowing us to show that a minimal model-universal
flow is far from unique
Electronic switching circuit uses complementary non-linear components
Inherent switching properties of saturable inductors and storage diodes are combined to perform large variety of electronic functions, such as pulse shaping, gating, and multiplexing. Passive elements replace active switching devices in generation of complex waveforms
