Good learning requires participation in social groups that help learners understand the learning goals and make sense of their experience through interpretation, practice, explanation, debriefing, and feedback (Gee, 2008).
Training for the experimental interventionists consists of 3 hours of total training: best mouth care practices; explanation of dementia and theory behind threat-reduction techniques; detailed description of categories of CRB; strategies to recognize, prevent, and reduce CRB; and completion of specific instruments.
Interviews were recorded, transcribed and analysed to identify approaches to shared care in follow-up, variations in practice, and explanations of these.
In our previous research into students' understanding of plant growth, we focused on matter and energy content and the practice of explanations (Mohan et al., 2009; Jin and Anderson, 2012).
This warm-up will allow students to demonstrate their prior knowledge, practice self-explanation, and may expose some misconceptions.
Mathematics problems that we would not expect embodied spatial training to impact were used for comparison and to rule out a simple practice effect explanation.
We discuss how the assessment system works, provide evidence to support inferences about how scores align with student understanding, and illustrate how it may be used to assess learning of a core concept natural selection in the context of the scientific practice of explanation (National Research Council [2012]).
These charts were used to describe similar and divergent beliefs and practices, develop explanations and find associations between them.
In this study, we focused on both of these key practices, constructing explanations and engaging in argument from evidence during investigations.
In the present phase of transition to more patient-centered practice, progressive explanation of more appropriate antibiotic use requires the complementary use of age-appropriate pain management, following a more traditional model of practice.
