Supporting Discovery Learning in Air Traffic Control through Ecological Interfaces

In an effort to further evaluate the effects of Ecological Interface Design on acquiring expertise, this paper presents the results of an investigation into how Ecological Interface Design could possibly promote discovery learning processes in the Air Traffic Control domain through the application of an instructional design model, and how it...

Successful transfer of algebraic skills from mathematics into physics in senior pre-university education

Science teachers have the experience that students in secondary and higher education face difficulties with applying mathematics into science class, leaving less time for their core business of teaching science. This may be frustrating and time-consuming, overshadowing the science content that needs to be taught. In addition, in a large number...

Teachers’ core beliefs about improving transfer of algebraic skills from mathematics into physics in senior pre-university education

Students in senior pre-university education face difficulties in the application of mathematics in physics. This paper presents the results of a qualitative study on teachers’ core beliefs about improving the transfer of algebraic skills to physics. Teachers were interviewed about their beliefs regarding a transfer problem from mathematics to...

Teachers’ beliefs systems about improving transfer of algebraic skills from mathematics into physics in senior pre-university education

Senior pre-university education (SPE) students experience difficulties applying mathematics to physics. This paper reports the outcome of an online explorative quantitative study of teachers' belief systems about improving transfer of algebraic skills from mathematics into physics, conducted among 503 mathematics and physics teachers working...

Preparing drivers for dangerous situations: A critical reflection on continuous shared control

Shared control (also known as continuous haptic guidance or haptically active controls) has recently been introduced in car driving. With shared control, the driver receives continuous force feedback on the gas pedal or steering wheel, so that human and machine conduct the driving task simultaneously. Experiments in driving simulators have shown...
