Even though the behaviorist theory of learning works well enough for animals, cognitive scientists now subscribe to the constructivist theory as the most effective foundation for building a learning environment. Using FOUR constructs of constructivist educational theory, describe how you might incorporate some constructivist-based techniques into the traditional methods that are currently utilized in the […]

Discuss What is the state-of-the-art that will be advanced by this study?
AC1: The paper would benefit from more detail and precision. We want to know precisely what happened in this specific observation. How were the observations actually performed with the chosen telescope and instrument? What was the sensitivity/resolution/etc. needed, and how did it compare to the actual strength of the signal observed in the data? AC4: […]

Do you think that scientists should continue to try to create super-heavy elements and expand the periodic table? Explain why or why not.
Here is the question/prompt. If you need any help understanding don’t hesitate to ask (: Thank you. Elements with atomic numbers of 104 and greater are known as super-heavy elements. None of these elements have been found in nature but instead have been made in a laboratory. They are very difficult and expensive to create, […]
Why did the scientists perform the study (i.e., description of background)?
1.Why did the scientists perform the study (i.e., description of background)? 2.What was the hypothesis (or hypotheses) under investigation? 3.What were the major results and did they support or negate the hypothesis? Which key techniques were used to achieve these results? 4.Why are the results significant and do they point to further/future studies? In other […]
