simulating the entire learning environment, to be used for formative evaluation of new learning approaches and interventions designed to support doctoral learners [71].
Consequently, this proposed solution leads to a specific research challenge and opportunity: how can a system designer design, implement, and validate a simulation to be used in evaluating adaptive support systems for doctoral learners. My proposed research aims to address this gap by depicting the design process, implementation, validation, and use of a simulation model for em-pirical evaluation of various personalized support strategies for doctoral learners. While the long-term goal is to show how simulation can be used to evaluate the design process of advanced learning

More specific research questions are:
Q1. How can a system designer build a valid and credible simulation model of a doctoral program to be used for exploring hypothetical questions concerning various personal-ization strategies?
a. Do the learning outcomes generated by SimGrad simulation model match those of UofS as measured by completion rates, attrition rates, and time to de-gree?
b. Can SimGrad predict the future past of learning outcomes of the UofS data-set?
Q2. How do different combinations of supervisor and learner characteristics affect learn-ing outcomes?
a. What if all supervisors within a doctoral program could adopt a single super-visory style, how effective would each of the four (4) supervisory styles iden-tified by Gatfield [50] be among the three (3) learner types identified based on writing strategies as identified by Torrance et al. [51]?
b. What if the ratio of the different learner types could be predetermined within a doctoral program, how would different ratios (percentage-wise) of the three (3) learner types identified based on writing strategies as identified by Tor-rance et al. [51] affect doctoral program?
c. What if the sizes of the labs (research groups) lead by supervisors could be predetermined within a doctoral program, how would the different sizes of the labs affect the learning outcomes of a doctoral program?
Q3. What if the department could
This report explains my experience in University of Dammam cooperative simulation training program. The program is required to every student whose credit hours exceed 90. It started in the summer of 2015 from the 7th of July to the 20th of August with 2 weeks for the report work (12 week total). The cooperative program purpose is to apply theoretical knowledge into practical work.
From these findings, is can be concluded that certain elements must be present in order for simulation to increase learners’ confidence.
academic performance, but I would like to explain the circumstances. I knew that this semester I can finally learn about nursing topics and do clinicals in the simulation classrooms. I was very excited and I still I am. I thought I could handle the workload, and I still think I could have, except that in the middle of the semester, I had problems with my house mates at the dorms. There were huge arguments that lead to my two house mates despising each other and arguing constantly. I know that it shouldn’t concern me because it is their problem; however, my home environment affecting my study habits. There was heavy pressure in the air and an aura of anger that radiated off my house mate. I was distracted by trying to solve the situation because two of my closest friends refuse to see the other side of the story. Even when I was at school, I was very distracted with my home situation and was unable to focus on my schoolwork. I understand that I should have communicated with my professors or seek assistance to solve the situation earlier on.
Write a report reflecting on your experiences of the Everest group simulation exercise this semester with reference to concepts and theories encountered in this course
Simulation is therefore appropriate for very complex problems with complex data requirements. Questions such as the amount of idle time in hospitals or the most optimal schedule for operation rooms can be answered using simulation. According to Gaba(2007) simulations can also be useful in evaluating physician performance and competence.
In regards to self-awareness, I believe that a combination of activities as mentioned in the “Handbook of Adult Learning and Development” source would be beneficial to enhancing this skill. For instance, the instruction could be begin by discussing what self-awareness is and what it means to adults who are learning. Next, the activity would be a simulation that involves the learners interviewing each other to act as mock consultants. Then the learners would describe any misperceptions or bias that may have occurred unconsciously. This would allow learners to recognize traits. It would also foster learning engagement that was mentioned in questions two that is important to improving self-awareness. The simulation would allow learners to use the resources available to them in the simulation case and still try to find a solution. For example, the environment that the learner is consulting for may be too fast paced for one learner to be a consultant. Therefore, the learners can negotiate about
An awareness of this theory’s key components allows learning in simulation based education to be contextualized.
Also computer simulation training will benefit anyone to feel more confident on what they are out in the real work force. The confidence level will go up by spending a few hours on training or days with simulation training. Confidence is really important to have especially in the military, being a surgeon and even an airline pilot, but remember confidence can easily go away and hard to get back. For example, my first time seeing an rc airplane I feel in love with them I wanted to get one and fly one seeing the older guys flying them it seem it was easy. So with confidence I told myself I could do these I can fly and rc airplane. So I started talking to the guys and one older man had a glider plain he had built and he was selling it for two hundred dollars, so I decided to buy it. It needed
How do translators interact with the text to approach a successful solution in the translation process? The goal of this research is to discover the type of decision-making process student translators experience with relation Web resources access, given their need to seek, process, use, and generate a solution. These processes are analyzed and calculated through each participants’ screen recording and their post-translation interview. The student translators’ success rate does not necessary improve with an increased cognitive effort as their formulation to solve a translation problem is largely dependent on their Web search performance.
In other words, the results of implementing a simulation can be multi-faceted. One could say a simulation could improve skills such as public speaking, looking at and synthesizing evidence, communication skills, working together and collaboration, etc. One could also say a simulation can improve student’s ability to remember concepts such as economic principles, historical events, parts of the brain, etc. It truly depends on the class that one teaches and the age group that determines which learning goals to focus on. Another strategic use of simulations is to allow time at the end of the simulation for discussion and debrief. At the teacher panel, one teacher mentioned how he had a simulation but didn’t allow time for a discussion, which ultimately was harmful. My goal would be to allow time for discussion to not only allow students to take a breather but to also talk about how the simulation connects to things learned in the
As far as doctoral learning is concerned, learner undertake a myriad of writing endeavors [64] and the writing strategy they choose is consequential to the time they spend on it according to Torrance et al. [51]. Torrance and his colleagues [51] used cluster analysis to identify three dif-ferent student writing strategies, n = 101, based on the timing of their decision on the content of their write-up. They grouped into three categories: planners, revisers, and mixed strategy writers. See Table 1 1 for a brief description for each of the category.
In order to understand what leadership style will work best for a new supervisor it is important to define the different leadership styles that will be discussed in this paper. Although there are many different styles of leadership that have been studied and practiced, some of the basic leadership styles are autocratic, consultative, democratic, participative and laissez-faire. For a new supervisor it is important to determine what leadership style fits their individual personality and the organization, but also allows the job to get completed through their subordinates.
The evolution of the World Wide Web, recent developments in interactive software, and the emergence of systems thinking provide a unique opportunity to create interactive, web-based simulations that address student learning. This topic explores current theory of mental model formation and its role in student understanding. It describes the potential of computer simulation to enhance student learning, defined as a change in a student’s mental model. As web-based simulations are newly emerging, further discussion is provided in hopes of exploring the opportunities.
To return to the learning by doing stage, enter simulations. A simulation is an instructional strategy that offers the opportunity to learn in a
According to Glickman, Gordon and Ross-Gordan (2014), the title of the new edition includes SuperVision, a term that denotes teaching and learning should developed collaboratively amongst teachers and supervisors. This term also implies that this same group of individuals should work together to build a democratic community where they make the school vision a reality (p. 8). In order to make this paradigm shift, supervisors have to understand the different types of supervision and understand when they are appropriate to use. The four models include directive control behaviors, directive informational behaviors, collaborative behaviors, and nondirective behaviors.
