Suppose I am explaining a solution to a problem by dividing it in many step. After each step I ask the student if it understands it. If not, I divide it in more sub-steps, and repeat the procedure. Otherwise, I go to the next step. I do this until the student tells me that he understands every single step.
I was wondering. Should I try and add additional intermediate steps (even though, sometimes I really cannot figure out how to slit the problem more) or maybe test the student to check if he/she actually understand the single steps or just believe he/she does? What would be more helpful and likely to solve the problem?
My first thought is that you are running into the limits of working memory. As students try hard to understand step 5, they are pushing previous thoughts about step 1 and 2 out of their working memory, before having really processed that information. That guarantees they will forget steps 1 and 2 almost immediately, whether or not they understood it in the first place.
My second thought is false positives. If the student understands, they will likely say they understand. But maybe they incorrectly believe they understand and state that they understand. Or, maybe they don't understand but don't want to admit it. Or perhaps their understanding is very inflexible (i.e. cannot withstand contextually superficial changes), but they don't realize it.
I call this "backwards horizontal" teaching. Students first master the step of checking. Once they can do that, they master the last step before checking, then they can check their answers. Then they move on to doing the last two steps before checking, then actually checking. Repeat until they can do the entire thing from the start.
After doing this, I'd ask the students to name all the steps required to solve and check a system of equations. If there were a bunch of students, I'd have them try to do it alone, then check their work with a peer.
Be careful, "Did you understand step 5?" will get an uniform "Aye!". Check if they understood. Ask for what this step was taken, what alternatives were, why this step was selected, what can be done if this approach fails. Chaining together the various steps is much more important that getting the "rational decomposition of $P(z) / Q(z)$" right (your friendly computer algebra system takes care of routine chores).
You can configure a GitHub Actions workflow to be triggered when an event occurs in your repository, such as a pull request being opened or an issue being created. Your workflow contains one or more jobs which can run in sequential order or in parallel. Each job will run inside its own virtual machine runner, or inside a container, and has one or more steps that either run a script that you define or run an action, which is a reusable extension that can simplify your workflow.
A job is a set of steps in a workflow that is executed on the same runner. Each step is either a shell script that will be executed, or an action that will be run. Steps are executed in order and are dependent on each other. Since each step is executed on the same runner, you can share data from one step to another. For example, you can have a step that builds your application followed by a step that tests the application that was built.
In this diagram, you can see the workflow file you just created and how the GitHub Actions components are organized in a hierarchy. Each step executes a single action or shell script. Steps 1 and 2 run actions, while steps 3 and 4 run shell scripts. To find more prebuilt actions for your workflows, see "Finding and customizing actions."
GitHub Actions can help you automate nearly every aspect of your application development processes. Ready to get started? Here are some helpful resources for taking your next steps with GitHub Actions:
After reviewing heterolysis and coordination, my lecture then transitions to categorizing these reactions as nucleophilic vs electrophilic by focusing on their elementary steps. First, I remind my students, again, that nucleophiles have a negative charge while electrophiles have a positive charge. Then I try to help them identify addition, substitution, and elimination reactions.
In the Abstract Protocol Flow outlined previously, the first four steps cover obtaining an authorization grant and access token. The authorization grant type depends on the method used by the application to request authorization, and the grant types supported by the API. OAuth 2 defines three primary grant types, each of which is useful in different cases:
Thank you guys. This tutorial really helped me understand how OAUTH works. I have a little question though I will like to ask what are the steps or how can I generate a signature for my OAUTH requests as I have read that requests without signature may not be so secured.
As part of a series of posts related to An Introduction to Flood Protection: What Owners Need to Know to Protect Their Properties by Doug Coenen and Ray Drexler, this article examines why owners need to understand the flooding concerns related to their facility as well as the first three steps related to flood protection project continuum.
The Nernst equation is key to understanding the electrophysiology of the cell membrane and the pathophysiology of K+ imbalances (i.e., hyperkalemia and hypokalemia). However, in our experience teaching medical students over the years, many students struggle to make connections between a brief introduction of the Nernst equation and its clinical application to K+ imbalances. This article aims to connect the introduction of the equation to its clinical application to understand K+ imbalances using six logical steps with detailed visual illustrations that make the connection explicit and cohesive. In addition, we highlight a few common areas related to the six steps that are often overlooked by both teachers and students. Students who are able to thoroughly demonstrate an understanding of all the six steps highlighted in this article will achieve mastery of this topic.NEW & NOTEWORTHY This article fills the gaps in teaching about the Nernst equation, which is important in medical physiology. Six logical steps are presented that connect the introduction of the equation to its clinical applications to hyperkalemia and hypokalemia, two conditions that can be life-threatening if left untreated. Only when students know how to apply the equation will their learning transition from surface to mastery.
The mechanism of protein folding is under intense theoretical and experimental investigation. From stopped-flow mixing experiments we have detailed knowledge of processes slower than about 1 ms, but until recently little was known about folding and unfolding reactions on the microsecond to nanosecond time scale. The use of novel techniques allowed to explore the elementary steps in protein folding, such as intrachain diffusion and formation of alpha-helices, beta-hairpins and loop structures. This brief review discusses the time scales of these early elementary events which are crucial for the understanding of how proteins fold.
This introduction provides important background information to increase your awareness and understanding to successfully implement best practices in your ECE program for healthy eating, family style dining breastfeeding support, physical activity, screen time and staff wellness.
The same command can be used in a multi-module scenario (i.e. a project with one or more subprojects). Maven traverses into every subproject and executes clean, then executes deploy (including all of the prior build phase steps).
When choosing an instructional model, teachers seek strategies that help students gain a complete understanding of new concepts. They aim to engage students, motivate them to learn, and guide them toward skill development. One of the ways to do that is by incorporating inquiry-based approaches like the 5E Model, which is grounded in active learning.
The findings of Atkin and Karplus directly informed the creation of the 5E Model, which focuses on allowing students to understand a concept over time through a series of established steps, or phases. These phases include Engage, Explore, Explain, Elaborate, and Evaluate.
Sometimes, understanding how a nested formula calculates the final result is difficult because there are several intermediate calculations and logical tests. However, by using the Evaluate Formula dialog box, you can see the different parts of a nested formula evaluated in the order the formula is calculated. For example, the formula =IF(AVERAGE(F2:F5)>50,SUM(G2:G5),0) is easier to understand when you can see the following intermediate results:
A common question asked at the start of any paper is, "where should I begin?" An equally important question to ask yourself is, "When do I begin?" Research problems in the social sciences rarely rest in isolation from the history of the issue being investigated. It is, therefore, important to lay a foundation for understanding the historical context underpinning the research problem. However, this information should be brief and succinct and begin at a point in time that best informs the reader of study's overall importance. For example, a study about coffee cultivation and export in West Africa as a key stimulus for local economic growth needs to describe the beginning of exporting coffee in the region and establishing why economic growth is important. You do not need to give a long historical explanation about coffee exportation in Africa. If a research problem demands a substantial exploration of historical context, do this in the literature review section; note in the introduction as part of your "roadmap" [see below] that you covering this in the literature review.
How biochemical structures are able to self-assemble in both a positional and temporal way is a key question for understanding the formation on functional entities such as cellular compartments, organelles, or in general biological materials. A general understanding is emerging that highlights phase transitions of biological macromolecules as a key mechanism for formation of such structures1.
