Machine learning

Part A: Discussion of key principles that underpin children’s learning of Mathematics The national early childhood curriculum Belonging, Being & Becoming: the Early Years Learning Framework (EYLF) describes numeracy as “the capacity, confidence and disposition to use mathematics in daily life” (DEEWR 2009, p. 38). The EYLF (DEEWR 2009, p. 43), describes numeracy as including understandings about spatial awareness, data, patterns, numbers and measurement, along with mathematical thinking,…

theories of learning that exist in the universe of learning and teaching. However our textbooks discuss five specific types which are the theory of self-direction, theory of margins, transformational learning, experimental learning and context based learning. Each theory is unique and offers its own positive and negative attributes. Our first theory is the theory of self direction is described simply as the acquiring information without an instructor present . This type of learning is…

constructivist approach to her literacy instruction and she has the best intentions for all of her students while teaching. I learned a lot about literacy instruction through this interview and by comparing her ideas and strategies to theories of learning. Although there is no exact theory that all teachers follow I do believe that this teacher follows a constructivist approach in her classroom and she is meeting the needs of her students by doing…

Universities are shifting learning away from the traditional behaviourist perspective where students are passive rote-learners (partly due to teacher-centred teaching) to a modern constructivist paradigm where students are actively involved in their learning (Neo, 2005). Explicitly, students learn through learning activities designed by their lecturers and they construct knowledge via experiences gained in the activities. This is in line with Kolb et al. (1984) who argued that “learning is the…

This advocates that learning is based on pupils’ experiences and that pupils build upon what they already know and that learning is not a process of regurgitating information, rather pupils will learn better if they have had an experience with it prior to that lesson. It proposes that the learning process is not one that takes place in isolation but something that is personal to every pupil, and rather than…

Have you ever wondered if there could be an easier way to lift heavy objects without all the ropes, claws and wheels? Well not anymore, ever since the hydraulic crane which uses the force of water and pushes or pulls throughout the pipes and pulls up heavy items. This has been an innovation in the pulley and regular cranes. With something good there is one bad, if a person were to use pipes or steel which one would be more sustainable and last longer? As in all the other cranes this specific one…

is credited with being the father of andragogy and outlined six assumptions associated with adult learning. These assumptions are 1) Learners need to know 2) Self-directed learning 3) Prior experience of the learner 4) Readiness to learn 5) Orientation to learning and 6) Motivation to learn. My personal experiences with each of these assumptions, while working with adults through professional learning experiences, have provided me with a certain degree of insight to help confirm validity in…

According to John (1998), the transformational learning has emerged as a very powerful tool of understanding how adult learn. This form of learning reflects a particular vision and conceptual framework of understanding and how learning happens in adults. Ideally, this form of learning constitutes three key components; 1. The physiological component which defines change of one understands about him or her. 2. Convictional component. This component acts a form of revision on ones beliefs. 3. The…

himself which was far ahead of the schools’ timetable and what he should’ve been learning at the time. He became less bored with school when he became attracted to another student called Christopher Morcom which meant he communicated more and became an academic success. However, Christopher suddenly died from tuberculosis. Turing was devastated by this and wanted to believe that he still lived on and his…

During the early 1900's miners in southern West Virginia were fighting, literally, for simple rights that every worker deserves. A 40-hour work week, decent pay that wasn't in scrip, and a sense of safety. On May 19 of 1920, members of the Baldwin-Felts detective agency arrived in the town of Matewan to evict union miners from houses owned by the Stone Mountain Coal Company. After catching wind of the detectives’ activities, Matewan Mayor Cabell Testerman and a pro-union sheriff named Sid…
