Dual-coding theory

Introduction An elementary hypothesis on multimedia learning and cognitive theory has taken a different turn with the introduction of motion pictures. The Cognitive Theory of Multimedia Learning is a theory of how students or rather people learn from pictures, words and motions, based on the notion that, every individual posses a unique channel of processing verbal and visual information. Literature Review In the literature review, there are a number of studies done on the impacts of multi-media learning on the process of maintaining gathered information, depending on the information gathered. According to Richard E. Mayer, in cognitive multimedia learning, people learn from pictures, and words (Mayer, 2000).For many years now, people only…

In 1812 railroad technology and steam engine technology collided changing the known world which helped form the world we know today. The Middleton Railway in Leeds, United Kingdom was the first to use a steam powered locomotive to generate revenue and has been in operaton ever since. The creation of the railroad and how it has connected the world has left it never the same again (railserve.com, n.d.). The railroad soon came to America in 1820 and began to immediately impact society. The “golden…

In order to understand where public policy comes from, we must first understand how the government is set up. When Congress was first set up, it had limited powers: wage war, make peace, enter into treaties and alliances, appoint and receive ambassadors, regulate Indian affairs and create a postal system (Bowman & Kearney, 2014, p. 29) . This, however, set up the opportunities for states to disagree. Shortly after, the states got together to create a first of its kind system of government in…

In this book she wrote, “It is possible and desirable to make the actual study of language diversity a part of the curriculum for all students” (Delpit 1998). This idea reflects my experience because Seymour is a dual language school that fosters to both English and Spanish speakers. Therefore this quote is pretty much the philosophy of this school. They believe that if a child speaks two languages that their education should reflect that. When it comes to me helping the students we do not…

have a limited awareness of the scope of their children’s bilingual education program (Lee, 1999; Sheffer, 2003), parents whose children are enrolled in two-way dual language programs tend to have high levels of involvement (Cloud et al., 2000). In my school district, parents play a critical role in program planning and sustainability. Based on parent meeting attendance held in the month of September in my school, parents of students in the dual language programs were committed to the bilingual…

videos to participants in a well-controlled laboratory environment and proper illumination to obtain their facial expressions. Among nearly 3000 facial movements from 26 participants, 247 micro-expressions samples were selected for the database with action units (AUs) and emotions labeled in 5 categories (Happiness, Disgust, Surprise, Repression and others). Scientists provided the CASME II database as a benchmark for the future exploration of potential micro-expression analysis algorithms. The…

philosophical and scientific problem that has been debated since ancient Greece. The pursuit of discerning between the way things are and the way they appear to be is one driven by the human desire to understand. Appearances can mask reality and skew one’s perception of reality. A group of early Greek philosophers and teachers, known as the Sophists, proposed that reality did not exist, and if it did, it was beyond human comprehension. They believed in relativism and sought to solve practical…

accurate, so it’s the investigators job to be able to discover out what information given is actually valuable. One of the most important and reliable way to find information is through physical evidence, whether its blood, fingerprints, or even remains. This ties in with the scientific method because once the evidence is found, forensics comes into play to find out whose blood, fingerprints or remains belonged too. Even though records can be a form of physical evidence, it can be seen in a…
