Return On Effectiveness (Roe): A Working Model For Measuring Effectiveness Of Service Training, Raman Attri
Return On Effectiveness (Roe): A Working Model For Measuring Effectiveness Of Service Training, Raman Attri
Raman K. Attri
A service company selling and repairing complex hardware is always tightly pressed to reduce the labor hours of its service engineers in the filed to reduce cost of service and to keep the profit margins on contracts high. Such companies relies highly on intensive technical training for such engineers to enable them right field skills, improving their performance and addressing the areas of high cost of service. It is very important for such high capital companies to look into ROI of the training and to frame a metric by which business results can be related with investment on the training …
Correlation Of Hspa Scores With Lhs Math And English Courses, Arthur Lang
Correlation Of Hspa Scores With Lhs Math And English Courses, Arthur Lang
Arthur Lang
The No Child Left Behind Act [NCLB] mandates testing of all high school students in reading, mathematics and science. Schools that do not make progress in test scores will be subject to punitive and remedial actions. Schools have responded to the high stakes requirements by modifying the traditional curriculum. The purpose of this study is to determine how achievement measure by grade point earned in mathematics and language arts courses correlates to proficiency on the New Jersey High School proficiency Assessment (HSPA). Since data is not yet available the Science assessment, it has been left out of this study. A …

Learning From People, Things, And Signs, Michael H.G. Hoffmann
Learning From People, Things, And Signs, Michael H.G. Hoffmann
Michael H.G. Hoffmann
Starting from the observation that small children can count more objects than numbers—a phenomenon that I am calling the “lifeworld dependency of cognition”—and an analysis of finger calculation, the paper shows how learning can be explained as the development of cognitive systems. Parts of those systems are not only an individual's different forms of knowledge and cognitive abilities, but also other people, things, and signs. The paper argues that cognitive systems are first of all semiotic systems since they are dependent on signs and representations as mediators. The two main questions discussed here are how the external world constrains and …
The Complementarity Of A Representational And An Epistemological Function Of Signs In Scientific Activity, Michael H.G. Hoffmann, Wolff-Michael Roth
The Complementarity Of A Representational And An Epistemological Function Of Signs In Scientific Activity, Michael H.G. Hoffmann, Wolff-Michael Roth
Michael H.G. Hoffmann
Signs do not only “represent” something for somebody, as Peirce’s definition goes, but also “mediate” relations between us and our world, including ourselves, as has been elaborated by Vygotsky. We call the first the representational function of a sign and the second the epistemological function since in using signs we make distinctions, specify objects and relations, structure our observations, and organize societal and cognitive activity. The goal of this paper is, on the one hand, to develop a model in which both these functions appear as complementary and, on the other, to show that this complementarity is essential for the …

The Growth Of M-Learning And The Growth Of Mobile Computing: Parallel Developments, Jason Caudill
The Growth Of M-Learning And The Growth Of Mobile Computing: Parallel Developments, Jason Caudill
Jason Caudill
m-Learning is made possible by the existence and application of mobile hardware and networking technology. By exploring the capabilities of these technologies, it is possible to construct a picture of how different components of m-Learning can be implemented. This paper will explore the major technologies currently in use: portable digital assistants (PDAs), Short Message Service (SMS) messaging via mobile phone, and podcasts via MP3 players.
Bridging The Abyss, Marianina Demetri Olcott
Bridging The Abyss, Marianina Demetri Olcott

This paper seeks to explain the epistemological bases for the two cultures and to show why this disciplinary divide continues to plague American academic culture. Next, we discuss strategies for bridging the two cultures through general education curricula which promote mutual understanding of the two cultures while educating students in basic skills. Evidence is presented which shows the efficacy of these integrative, interdisciplinary curricula. In conclusion, we briefly mention some collaborative research efforts which indicate the enduring effects that such an education may have.
