Though it is true that if the goal of a particular course's lab is to perform original research, then this is not the lab to have one's students perform; if the objective is to teach students hands-on methodology and application of molecular techniques while giving them a flavor of real scientific research, then this lab project should be seriously considered.
He is co-founder and partner of VERDUXUS a transatlantic boutique fusing a network of serial technology entrepreneurs with investment in a proactive and hands-on methodology to build world-leading, high-growth technology organizations.
The process to obtain an accurate and precise shooting distance model, Y = f(x) centered on Six Sigma methodologies and hands-on activities (kinesthetic learning) throughout the training course.
These programs utilize methodologies such as hands-on applications, immersive-learning, integrated technologies, critical thinking and mentoring to engage students in Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics (STEM) and highlight potential career paths in science and engineering.
The Victorian Space Science Education Centre (VSSEC) scenario-based programs, including the Mission to Mars and Mission to the Orbiting Space Laboratory, utilize methodologies such as hands-on applications, immersive learning, integrated technologies, critical thinking and mentoring.
The course was intended to familiarize the students with these advanced methodologies and provide hands-on training on the latest analytical approaches.
There is a clear need for instructional methodologies that incorporate hands-on experience, familiarization with existing literature, consistent practice, topical relevance, and explicit learning methods [ 9- 12].
To achieve this, they require specialized hands-on training in the latest analytical methodologies that is not provided by many institutions, especially for researchers at later stages of their career.
Educational methodologies such as conceptual learning, hands-on learning, problem-based learning, and student-based learning have been recommended but are not universally implemented (Klymkowsky, 2005).
To date, eight tutorials have been published (http://www.nature.com/psp/tutorials/index.html), providing practical hands-on introductions to a variety of modeling and simulation methodologies and tools.
