Learning, active

Molecular modeling is a major new learning activity, and there are substantial obstacles that must be overcome before it can be used to best effect. Training is required so that teachers can decide what aspects of modeling will prove most useful, and students can make most effective use of their time. Funds need to be raised for the purchase of computer hardware and software. 

To develop such questiorrs, and hence to realize the pre-experimental phase as a meaningful learning activity, students need to activate their domain-specific knowledge (Klahr, 2000 Neber Anton, 2008). Neben and Anton have cortsidered a sequence of five procedural steps that are necessary for the pre-experimental phase Observation/phenomenon Access to prior knowledge Epistemic question(s) Anticipated answer(s) Planning for evidence. 

The learning organization in this view is not so much created by deliberate planning, but emerges from the myriads of Interdependent learning activities that go within an organization when all its members are committed to learning. 

Towns and Grant (161) studied cooperative learning activities in physical chemistry, in particular in a graduate-level thermodynamics course. Their purpose was to describe the structure of events during these activities. The findings showed that students were moved away from rote learning strategies... 

With so many worthwhile learning activities competing for limited class time, any game activity should pass muster on the question of whether completing it was a valuable use of the time and effort. A game should be used as a learning or review tool and not merely as a time killer or as a recess period. 

It also means that there will be insufficient time for playing and learning activities that are essential for any research or development organization. 

The functions which comprise clinical services are difficult to identify, partly because there is no common agreement among practitioners as to the definition of a clinical service, partly because there are clinical components associated with most, if not all, of the service functions of the hospital pharmacy department, and partly because, in current practice, no clear distinction has been made between clinical teaching activities and clinical service activities. What are frequently purported to be service activities are, more often than not, teaching (or learning) activities. For this reason, in evaluating clinical service activities, only those services... which are continuously performed even in the absence of students and trainees, are considered.
