  • Tarjan Transcript Final with Timestamps
    A.M. Turing Award Oral History Interview with Robert (Bob) Endre Tarjan by Roy Levin San Mateo, California July 12, 2017 Levin: My name is Roy Levin. Today is July 12th, 2017, and I’m in San Mateo, California at the home of Robert Tarjan, where I’ll be interviewing him for the ACM Turing Award Winners project. Good afternoon, Bob, and thanks for spending the time to talk to me today. Tarjan: You’re welcome. Levin: I’d like to start by talking about your early technical interests and where they came from. When do you first recall being interested in what we might call technical things? Tarjan: Well, the first thing I would say in that direction is my mom took me to the public library in Pomona, where I grew up, which opened up a huge world to me. I started reading science fiction books and stories. Originally, I wanted to be the first person on Mars, that was what I was thinking, and I got interested in astronomy, started reading a lot of science stuff. I got to junior high school and I had an amazing math teacher. His name was Mr. Wall. I had him two years, in the eighth and ninth grade. He was teaching the New Math to us before there was such a thing as “New Math.” He taught us Peano’s axioms and things like that. It was a wonderful thing for a kid like me who was really excited about science and mathematics and so on. The other thing that happened was I discovered Scientific American in the public library and started reading Martin Gardner’s columns on mathematical games and was completely fascinated.

  • The Role of Educational Psychology in the Teaching Process Within an EFL Classroom
    People’s Democratic Republic of Algeria Ministry of Higher Education and Scientific Research University of Mohamed Khieder-Biskra Faculty of Letters and Languages Department of Foreign Languages Division of English The Role of Educational Psychology in the Teaching Process within an EFL Classroom: Case study of Third Year LMD students-University of Biskra Dissertation submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirement for the Master Degree in English Option: Science of Languages. Submitted by: Supervised by: Moufida BOUAFFAR Mrs. Iman GUETTEL Members of the Jury: Houadjly Ahmed Chaouki Bencherf Sakina June 2012 BOUAFFAR 1 INTRODUCTION Educational psychology is the branch of psychology focused on the development of effective teaching techniques and the assessment of learners’ aptitudes and progress. In another words, educational psychology is the study of the behavior, social, ethical, and cognitive development of students during their growth from children to adult learners. Educational psychologists develop and apply theories of teaching, learning, and human development to determine the most effective ways for educators to teach students. The present research is an investigation on the role of educational psychology in the teaching process (EFL). The intention of this work is to carry out the strategies, techniques, and methods that are improving and developing the strategies of teaching. The aim of this study is to investigate to what extent educational psychology helps teachers for achieving the objectives of teaching and increasing their efficiency. 1. The statement of the problem: Nowadays, we observe a huge distance between teachers and students. The cause of this distance is the lack of teachers’ knowledge about the educational psychology and its values in teaching.

  • On Inquiry: Human Concept Formation and Construction of Meaning
    On Inquiry: Human Concept Formation and Construction of Meaning through Library and Information Science Intermediation By Allan Mark Konrad B.A. (University of Oregon) 1974 M.S. (University of Southern California) 1982 A dissertation submitted in partial satisfaction of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in Information Management and Systems in the Graduate Division of the University of California, Berkeley Committee in charge: Professor Michael K. Buckland, Chair Professor Paul R. Ammon Professor Robert C. Berring, Jr. Spring 2007 On Inquiry: Human Concept Formation and Construction of Meaning through Library and Information Science Intermediation Copyright © 2007 by Allan Mark Konrad All rights reserved ProQuest/UMI requests that authors provide indemnification to ProQuest/UMI. The author, Allan M Konrad, does not indemnify ProQuest/UMI. Abstract On Inquiry: Human Concept Formation and Construction of Meaning through Library and Information Science Intermediation by Allan Mark Konrad Doctor of Philosophy in Information Management and Systems University of California, Berkeley Professor Michael Buckland, Chair Library and Information Science (LIS) is centrally concerned with providing instruments (documents, organization, bibliographies, indexes) to enable people to become better informed through use of documents. The relationship between how people become informed and LIS intermediation, the Basic Relationship, is fundamental to the theory, practice, and professional education of LIS. This Basic Relationship and how it is understood in the field is investigated through analysis of selected LIS texts according to criteria derived from principles of Assimilation Theory, grounded in educational psychology, integrated with complementary ideas from the cognate fields of ancient rhetoric, cognitive linguistics, philosophy, and communications studies.

  • Psychological Foundation of Education: Relationship of Education and Psychology- Examrace
    9/17/2021 Psychological Foundation of Education: Relationship of Education and Psychology- Examrace Examrace Psychological Foundation of Education: Relationship of Education and Psychology Get top class preparation for CA/Foundation right from your home: get questions, notes, tests, video lectures and more- for all subjects of CA/Foundation. Relationship of Education and Psychology Psychology is considered as the scientific study of mental processes, experiences and behaviour. It is concerned with prediction and control of behaviour. Psychology is science of behaviour and education is modification of behaviour. Therefore, Educational Psychology is concerned with the development, evaluation and application of theories and principles of human learning and instruction. There are three elements or focal points which come under the psychological perspective of education or teaching – learning process: The Learner: The learner or the educed is the central focus of teaching learning system. Learning process: The process by which people change their behaviour, improve performance, recognize their thinking or become familiar with new concept and information or knowledge. Learning situation: The learning situation refers to the environment in which learner gets involved into various kinds of learning experiences. Learning: Psychological Interpretation Learning occurs when experience causes a relatively permanent change in an individual՚s knowledge or behaviour. Change simply caused by maturation, such as growing taller or turning grey, do not qualify as learning. Cognitive psychologists , who focus on changes in knowledge , believe learning to be a mental activity that cannot be observed directly. The behavioural view, generally assumes that the outcome of learning is change in behaviour and emphasizes the effect of external events on individual.

  • Ausubel’S Assimilation Theory of Learning Author: Novak, Joseph D
    Third Misconceptions Seminar Proceedings (1993) Paper Title: A View on the Current Status of Ausubel’s Assimilation Theory of Learning Author: Novak, Joseph D. Abstract: In the three decades since Ausubel put forward his assimilation theory of congnitive learning, many changes have occurred in the field of educational psychology and the emerging fields of cognitive science and artificial intelligence. This paper is not a review of these developments, but rather a statement on the current status of Ausubel's theory as seen from the perspective of our research group. We see his theory largely unchanged in terms of basic concepts and principles, although new epistemological ideas, recent ideas from cognitive science, and new metacognitive tools permit new perspectives on the power and value of Ausubel's theory. Thus a research paradigm rooted in his theory may take on substantively new characteristics with powerful implications for teaching and learning.
