Modals

1999

Teaching complex concepts related to modal analysis (both analytical and experimental topics) to undergraduate students can be quite difficult. The student must be familiar with a wide range of different subjects some of which he has forgotten and others he may have never taken. In addition to traditional topics, the student must become familiar with vastly new and diverse subject matter. In order to expose undergraduate students to experimental modal analysis to support capstone design projects and other related projects, a simplified approach is necessary. Complex mathematical concepts can be easily illustrated using detailed pictures where color becomes an extremely important contribution. These concepts can be further explained through the use of multimedia format presentations. Multimedia provides a mechanism for students to review material as often as needed to fully understand complex concepts. This paper addresses some of these issues through the use of some typical teaching...

Students take pictures of graph projected on the board. The instructor then checks students' understanding of previous topic, lift, giving a series of (x,y) coordinates that fall within normal values. While students follow closely in their devices and answer, feedback is given accordingly. Subsequently, the instructor gives a set of abnormal values. After students notice that values produce a substantial drop in performance the new topic is introduced: stall.

This paper deals with students' cognitive organization with regard to modal verbs in English. The purpose is to check the effect that an expert and contextual instruction has on learning. In a previous work we had established the differences between semantic networks from native and non-native speakers of English (Sánchez and Alonso 2004-2005). The information obtained in the previous research led us to postulate the difference that a contextual instruction with expert patterns (nativespeaker patterns) would make. If students are taught how native speakers actually do tend to group modals they will learn these demonstrating learning through their changed perceptions of modal groupings. The results of the current investigation show that native speakers use groupings which fall into epistemic and deontic categories while students, although they are becoming more similar to experts, they still use a mix of formal, grammatical and semantic groupings.

Learning theories attempt to explain the various ways in which knowledge can be generated, processed and recalled. Having an understanding of these complex processes may assist with the design and implementation of ModBox training activities that not only take the principles of learning into account but are more likely to be effective for the development of skill.

A study of learner modality in second language learning conducted at a small, private liberal arts university had as subjects 20 freshmen in a second-semester Spanish course. The students' modality strength (visual, auditOry, kinesthetic, or mixed) was correlated with Scholastic Aptitude'Test measures, grades, and gender. The findings support previous research studies showing that modalities become integrated as students mature, and also suggest a possible role played by memory strategies, especially chunking, when modalities are measured by the Swassing-Barbe Modality Index (SBMI) among college-age subjects. It is suggested that: (1) teachers consider use of the SBMI for diagnostic purposes when students have difficulty learning, and (2) the mismatch between the teacher's preferred mode of presentation and the students' preferred mode of learning be lessened by reteaching in a different mode and by varying the mode used from day to day.

Crawford, and Dr. Volker Hegelheimer for their guidance and support. I would also like to thank Dr. Larysa Nadolny who collaborated with me in completing my study, and in providing sound ideas and process. I would also like to thank Dr. Richard Mayer for kindly sharing his original study materials and his willingness to respond to my questions, as well as the late Dr. Roxanna Moreno, whose research excited me and challenged me to look into the modality principle. I would also like to thank Dr. Catherine Stewart, a dear friend, who supported my additional questions and moments of frustration with gentle reminders that the barriers I saw were merely stepping stones on my journey. In addition, I would like to thank my wonderful children who were required to take on tasks that were often mine and were willing to pitch-in as needed giving me the ability to work fulltime and go to school. In the end, however, my largest gratitude goes to my husband who had to take on so much more than one parent should, and he did so with kindness, strength and love. I hope I can be the same to all of you. My sincere thanks.
