Designing Article Reviews Samples For Students

In his article, Multiplicitous and Inorganic Bodies, Lynn tackles the relevance of understanding the principles of proportional geometry. By incorporating this principles on architectural designs, architects can achieve harmony which results to a natural, well-crafted work (Lynn, 1992). As a professor of architecture, Lynn is thoroughly concerned with the spatial bodies of inanimate objects he refers to as ‘organisms’. Lynn argues that in order to better understand any object, destroying it would be the first option. Similarly, biological sciences attempt to study the vital functions of the organs through live dissection and open surgery. In architecture, creating a plan is also a simple ...

Analysis, Development, Implementation and Evaluation (ADDIE)

In deed, Analysis, Development, Implementation and Evaluation (ADDIE) is a very important approach in the designing of an educational program. An effective adoption of this strategy can be so instrumental in the design, development and use of an educational program. This can be evidenced in the research conducted by Waynesburg College in which it was fully applied in the Master’s of Education (Technology) course. After its full implementation, it came out that it is better than any other strategy.
As an educationist, I would like to agree that ADDIE can be so instrumental if used well. I would ...

The Current State of Research on New Methods and Technologies for the Safety and Reliability of Assessment of Propellants, Explosives and Pyrotechnics1

Abstract

Materials with high energy have in the past and are still in use for both intensive military and civil purposes. Research and studies have been conducted recently to try establishing and inventing new materials likely to have enhanced high performance and that are less sensitive to heat and shock as compared to existing materials. In future military applications have a threshold to be adjusted to. This paper is mainly focusing on the on the advancements, possible formulations of ...

David Kolb developed the Experiential Learning Cycle theory in 1984. In his theory, Kolb explained that learning happens in four stage cycles and four separate learning styles where the recipient learns by undergoing the different knowledge phases from experience to reflection, followed by conceptualizing and ends with Action.
The Experiential learning theory according to Kolb outlines learning as the process of gaining, assimilating, transforming and owning knowledge by interacting with the environment (Kolb, 1984, p. 41). These interactions include abstract, concrete, reflective and active participation forms of learning.

The learning process follows this basic model (Saul McLeod, 2013)

As indicated in the model. Kolb’s learning model follows a ...
