They are defined as an approach to education that implicitly trusts the learner’s ability to learn through experience, rather than a movement for change that seeks to challenge mainstream education. While literature, research, communities and schools recognize the importnce of experiential education, controversies exit as to their efficacies in learning processes. … …Journal of Social Sciences, Vol. 8, Issue 2 · 25 Feb 2012 · 9,090 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractDemotivating Factors for English Language Learning Among University StudentsReyhaneh Ghadirzadeh, Fariba Pourabolfathe Hashtroudi, Omid ShokriProblem statement: Demotivation is a relatively new issue in the field of second/foreign Language (L2) learning motivation. Recognizing and removing barriers can have a marked effect on motivation and attention to learning in general and ESL/EFL learning in particular. Demotivating factors are essential factors which negatively influence the learner’s attitudes and behaviors and hence lead to undesired learning outcomes. The … …Journal of Social Sciences, Vol. 8, Issue 2 · 21 Feb 2012 · 11,929 accessesView PDFCite

Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractDesign of Output Codes for Fast Covering Learning using Basic Decomposition TechniquesAruna Tiwari, Narendra S. ChaudhariWe propose the design of output codes for solving the classification problem in Fast Covering Learning Algorithm (FCLA). For a complex multi-class problem normally the classifiers are constructed by combining the outputs of several binary ones. In this paper, we use the basic methods of decomposition; one per class (OPC) and Error Correcting Output Code (ECOC) with FCLA, binary to … …Journal of Computer Science, Vol. 2, Issue 7 · 31 Jul 2006 · 6,302 accessesView PDFCite
