How will future developments in technology help improve intelligence and academic performance of students in grade school and college? Introduction A study done in Chicago, Illinois, required third graders and adults to play a version of the n-back game testing memory. Researchers noticed that as a result, not only long-term and working memory had improved, but also other cognitive abilities such as fluid intelligence. While long-term memory is information you remember and store in your mind,…

CHAPTER ONE INTRODUCTION What are macromolecules? Are you able to recall a time when you would use the knowledge of macromolecules to address a situation in your life? If you have struggled to answer either question previously addressed, you are not alone. Consider this: you may not have been a part of an experience when learning what this term means; therefore, this term does not have meaning to you. Across the country, educators tend to do what they have experienced or are familiar with.…

help in making use of the digital technology in all spheres of life. It is the ability to make and share information in different modes and formats; to create, collaborate and communicate effectively and to understand how and when digital technologies can best be used to support these processes. Keeping this trend in view this study has been conducted to know the digital literacy competencies among P.G students of University of Agricultural Sciences, Dharwad. The study found that majority of the…

nation of individuality, thus, it lacked in the area. After realizing its faux pas, the nation experienced a surge in STEM. Consequently, the surge held minimum effect on the industry, for this field causes challenges with the constantly changing technology. That didn’t hinder the majority that entered the field, for where one quit another rose to the challenge that STEM produced. Due to those that accepted the challenge a certain degree of us now have a path to follow to build a modern…

areas like Science, Technology, Mathematics and Engineering(STEM) women gains through education and through the workplace are still slower (Hill, Corbett, and Rose, 2010 p. IX). The under-representation of women in the fields of STEM is controversial in today’s society, with competing statements of biological and sociocultural connection between women ability’s in the workforce. In this decade and era where women are becoming increasingly…

instruction revolved around textbooks and memorization. A few highly scripted hands on activities, mainly involving biology, continued to spark my interest in science. Math remained formulaic and focused on kill and drill. Following my struggles in fifth grade, I was able to make some significant gains throughout middle school math. Technology was booming, especially the computer industry. Exposure to personal computers in school was highly limited. The school had one computer room and the only…

Technology is sometime negative in our society. It takes away from…

Technical course curriculum knowledge from my graduate and undergraduate programs came in handy for my professional internship, directed studies and my current Student Assistant job at A&M. First semester’s Molecular Biology course revised most of the cell biology concepts that I learned from my undergraduate studies and gave insights into advanced cell biology. To complement our understanding, we were assigned to read high impact scientific journal articles as a daily class assignments. Having…

detail, all these cover in the curriculum. Curriculum is how something is taught, how the classroom is set up, the materials that are used, the methods that a teacher uses, what students learn, and what is assessed. A curriculum is the course of study it has chosen for its pupils. It would describe the content of every lesson. The…
