These researchers found no association between learning gains concerning natural selection and active-teaching pedagogy and conclude that some faculty members superficially apply active-teaching approaches but do not understand constructivist foundations for this pedagogy.
All occurred at the puncture site, resulting from a protruding active tip from a superficially located lesion, and all resolved within 2 weeks using topical ointments.
The insects were left for feeding on the contents of each mixture for 24 h, then the insects, in each replicate, were separated immediately and treated superficially with a contact fungicide such as Merpan® (active ingredient Captan, concentration 800 g/kg of wettable granular formulation).
The development of control conditions that are similar to the placebos used in pharmacological trials, as in superficially resembling the intervention but containing none of its active ingredients (as may have occurred here), may be a useful way forward.
The pterosaurian and chiropteran flight apparatus superficially resemble derived, powered modifications of this general configuration that achieved active flight.
Therefore, active learning as designed and implemented by typical college biology instructors may superficially resemble active learning used by education researchers, but lacks the constructivist elements necessary for improving learning.
They make learning superficially easier today, but young learners find it dull and also don't develop the active understandings we really want.
Players are often cast as a game's protagonist, with an active role in its story, where they cannot help but see things, at least superficially, from a new perspective.
Although superficially dissimilar, the convergent results of these studies illustrate varying aspects of the principle of remaining active while never contradicting it.
In its crudest form, the notion is that an active sentence ("John loved Mary") and a passive sentence ("Mary was loved by John") might seem superficially different; yet they have some important underlying commonality, both in meaning and in their representation in the brain.
