Learning programming is among the top challenges in computer science education. A part of that, program visualization (PV) is used as a tool to overcome the high failure and drop-out rates in an introductory programming course. Nevertheless, there are rising concerns about the effectiveness of the existing PV tools following the mixed results derived from various studies. Student engagement is also considered a vital factor in building a successful PV, while it is also an important part of the learning process in general. Several techniques have been introduced to enhance PV engagement; however, student engagement with PV is still challenging. This paper employed three theories—constructivism, social constructivism and cognitive load to propose a technique for enhancing student engagement with program visualisation. The social worked-examples (SWE) technique transforms the traditional worked-example into a social activity, whereby a greater focus is placed on the collaboration role in constructing students’ knowledge. This study identified three principles that could enhance student engagement through the SWE technique: active learning, social collaboration and low-load activity.
Desde la Salamanca de doradas piedras que tantas veces cantara, don Miguel de Unamuno dio a la literatura y al pensamiento españoles unas obras que, a pesar de muchos pesares, perdura viva, como viva fue su agónica existencia.
El bilbaíno Miguel de Unamuno (1864-1936) es autor de al menos, doce obras teatrales. Su costumbre de mezclar géneros literarios, sin distinguir claramente el drama de la novela dialogada, le llevó a preferir el teatro leído. De ahí que sus estrenos fuesen, frecuentemente, muy posteriores a las ediciones impresas.

The development in manufacturing computers from both (Hardware and Software) sides, make complicated robust estimators became computable and gave us new way of dealing with the data, when classical discriminant methods failed in achieving its optimal properties especially when data contains a percentage of outliers. Thus, the inability to have the minimum probability of misclassification. The research aim to compare robust estimators which are resistant to outlier influence like robust H estimator, robust S estimator and robust MCD estimator, also robustify misclassification probability with showing outlier influence on the percentage of misclassification when using classical methods. ,the other

The earlier period includes Late Uruk, Jamdat nasr, and the first epoch of the Early Dynastic period. The latter includes the second and third epochs of the Early Dynastic period. The both periods had lasted more than one thousand years (3500-2334 BC

Resumen:
En este artículo se indaga sobre fenómenos como la metáfora, la metonimia, la polisemia, y la homonimia en las lenguas árabe y española, según la teoría cognitiva, basada en el pensamiento y la práctica lingüística. Esta teoría intenta investigar la relación entre el lenguaje humano, la mente y la experiencia. En realidad, los fenómenos que estudiaremos crean ambigüedad léxica y sintáctica tanto en árabe como en español. Además, dichos conceptos tienen sus propias características, especificaciones y formas en cada lengua.

Show MoreAbstract This study seeks to deal academically with how the EU treats clandestine immigration, through adopting a purley security approach, based on the European understanding of security threats posed to the security of communities and States in EU at all levels. So they agreed upon criminalizing this threat within the bloc while using repressive tools and steps to limit illegal immigrants flow to European territories. Accordingly, the EU gave the phenomen a security character. So it takes it from low politics level , that of employment and economic field to that of high politics, as a new security problem lying within a new security language embraced by ruling European elites, in other words EU touched on this issue as a speech act emp
