The 278 participating children were in grades K-3 (mean age 7.7 years range 5.5–10.3 years). Whether self-generation performance predicted academic outcomes in reading comprehension and mathematics was also examined. Children’s performance was assessed in a task requiring them to self-generate new factual knowledge from the integration of novel facts presented through separate lessons in the classroom. Going beyond the lesson: Self-generating new factual knowledge in the classroomįor children to build a knowledge base, they must integrate and extend knowledge acquired across separate episodes of new learning. This study examined the quality of medical students' confidence estimates in answering questions in bacteriology based on personal knowledge alone and what they retrieved from a factual database in microbiology, in order to determine whether medical students can recognize when an information need has been fulfilled and when it has not. Medical Students? Confidence Judgments Using a Factual Database and Personal Memory: A Comparison. Students' factual (Study 1) and perceived (Study 2) world knowledge predicted students' normative environment… Perceived world knowledge directly predicted global citizenship identification, while factual world knowledge did not (Study 1). We examine the influence of factual and perceived world knowledge on global citizenship identification. Reysen, Stephen Katzarska-Miller, Iva Gibson, Shonda A.

World Knowledge and Global Citizenship: Factual and Perceived World Knowledge as Predictors of Global Citizenship IdentificationĮRIC Educational Resources Information Center The interface was implemented in a Symbolics workstation making heavy use of windows, pull-down menus, and other user-friendly devices. OPERA's knowledge acquisition problem is approached as a classification problem-solving task, combining this approach with the use of factual knowledge about the domain. The knowledge acquisition bottleneck lies in gathering knowledge from human experts and transferring it to OPERA. The goal of OPERA is to improve the operations support of the computer network in the space shuttle launch processing system.

These ideas were applied to the construction of a knowledge acquisition interface to the Expert System Analyst (OPERA). Gomez, Fernando Hull, Richard Karr, Clark Hosken, Bruce Verhagen, WilliamĪ knowledge acquisition technique that combines heuristic and factual knowledge represented as two hierarchies is described. Combining factual and heuristic knowledge in knowledge acquisition
