The Effects of Argumentation-Based Teaching Approach on Students’ Critical Thinking Disposition and Argumentation Skills: “Population in Our Country Unit”

As there are limited studies examining relationships between argumentation-based teaching approach and critical thinking and argumentation skills in social studies, the aim of this study was to examine the effects of argumentation-based teaching approach on students' critical thinking disposition and argumentation skills, and the relationship between students’ argumentation skills and critical thinking disposition. We used a quasi-experimental design with pretest-posttest equivalent control groups. The participants of this study were 94 seventh grade students from three different classrooms in a middle school in Erzurum district of Turkey. We utilized University of Florida Engagement, Maturity and Innovativeness Critical Thinking Disposition Instrument (UF/EMICTDI) to identify students’ critical thinking disposition and argumentation activities to document students’ argumentation skills. We used one-way ANOVA and multiple comparisons Tukey tests to analyze the data obtained via the UF/EMICTDI, correlation and regression analysis to investigate the relationships between students’ argumentation skills and critical thinking disposition. Argumentation Evaluation Rubric was used in order to evaluate the arguments that the students formed. Results showed that there was no statistically significant difference between students’ pre-test critical thinking disposition scores in the experimental and control groups but there was a statistically significant difference between students’ post-test critical thinking disposition scores. Additionally, we observed that students’ argumentation skills enhanced throughout the study, there was a statistically significant positive relationship between students’ argumentation skills and critical thinking disposition, and argumentation skills variable was the predictor of critical thinking disposition. We recommend future research studies to examine the effects of the argumentation-based science learning approach on different higher-order thinking skills. Additionally, in social studies classes, similar activities employed in this study on “Population in Our Country” unit can be used in teaching different topics/units in order to improve students’ argumentation skills.

The Paramak: automated parametric geometry construction for fusion reactor designs.

During the conceptual design process of fusion reactors it is useful to rapidly prototype different design concepts and assess their suitability against a range of high level requirements. Rapid prototyping allows the 'fail early' mantra of other fields to be applied to engineering design. Furthermore, the rapid generation of low fidelity analysis allows fast exploration of design space, which enables better decisions to be made during concept selection and the detailed design phase. The Paramak is an open-source tool that aims to provide automated parameter driven 3D CAD models for fusion reactor components and magnetic fusion reactors. The geometry produced is compatible with several analysis workflows and this allows iterative automated model building and analysis to help steer the design concept optimisation process. The Paramak uses CadQuery 2 to create the 3D CAD model. The Paramak framework is used to create a few example reactor configurations including: a spherical reactor, a regular large radius tokamak and a compact submersion tank reactor. Input parameters for the various reactors that the Paramak can generate generally fall into three categories: continuous ranges such as blanket thickness, integer ranges such as number of toroidal field coils and categorical parameters such as type of divertor. The Paramak facilitates parameter studies where users can investigate the impact of input design parameters on the reactor performance. The use of modern software practices allows the geometry to be continuously tested in analysis workflows to ensure it is fit for purpose. The generation of output metrics from input parameters lends itself to the use of data science and machine learning approaches in order to steer the design. The Paramak provides rapid construction of analysis ready CAD in a manner that allows the designer to save time when exploring the design space for design studies and facilitate automated generative design.

Building Data Sets for Rainforest Deforestation Detection Through a Citizen Science Project

Originally, the ForestEyes project aims to detect deforestation in tropical forests based on citizen science (CS) and machine learning (ML) approaches, in which the volunteers analyze and label segments of remote sensing images to build new training sets for creating different classification models. In previous work, only three modules related to CS have been proposed. In this letter, two new modules are created: 1) organization and selection and 2) ML. Therefore, these modules turn the ForestEyes project a more robust system in the deforestation detection task, building high-confidence labeled collections, increasing the monitoring coverage, and decreasing volunteer dependence. Performed experiments show that volunteers create better data sets than those based on automatic PRODES-based approaches, selecting the most relevant samples and discarding noisy segments that might disrupt ML techniques. Finally, the results showed the feasibility of allying CS with ML for rainforest deforestation detection task.

Toward Social Media Content Recommendation Integrated with Data Science and Machine Learning Approach for E-Learners

Electronic Learning (e-learning) has made a great success and recently been estimated as a billion-dollar industry. The users of e-learning acquire knowledge of diversified content available in an application using innovative means. There is much e-learning software available—for example, LMS (Learning Management System) and Moodle. The functionalities of this software were reviewed and we recognized that learners have particular problems in getting relevant recommendations. For example, there might be essential discussions about a particular topic on social networks, such as Twitter, but that discussion is not linked up and recommended to the learners for getting the latest updates on technology-updated news related to their learning context. This has been set as the focus of the current project based on symmetry between user project specification. The developed project recommends relevant symmetric articles to e-learners from the social network of Twitter and the academic platform of DBLP. For recommendations, a Reinforcement learning model with optimization is employed, which utilizes the learners’ local context, learners’ profile available in the e-learning system, and the learners’ historical views. The recommendations by the system are relevant tweets, popular relevant Twitter users, and research papers from DBLP. For matching the local context, profile, and history with the tweet text, we recognized that terms in the e-learning system need to be expanded to cover a wide range of concepts. However, this diversification should not include such terms which are irrelevant. To expand terms of the local context, profile and history, the software used the dataset of Grow-bag, which builds concept graphs of large-scale Computer Science topics based on the co-occurrence scores of Computer Science terms. This application demonstrated the need and success of e-learning software that is linked with social media and sends recommendations for the content being learned by the e-Learners in the e-learning environment. However, the current application only focuses on the Computer Science domain. There is a need for generalizing such applications to other domains in the future.
