Expert-Generated and Auto-Generated Socratic Tutoring Systems For Code Comprehension
No full textProgramming skills are a vital part of many disciplines but can be challenging to teach and learn. Thus, the programming courses are considered difficult and a major stumbling block. To overcome these challenges, students could benefit from extensive individual support such as tutoring, but there are simply not enough qualified tutors available to meet rising demands.A potential solution is the development of intelligent tutoring systems (ITSs), which offer individualized, one-on-one instruction. Such systems can offer the support to make programming instruction more effective, scalable and reduce existing teachers\u27 workloads.This dissertation demonstrates how conversational ITSs and the Socratic method of teaching can improve a novice\u27s understanding of programming concepts and, in particular, the scaffolding of code comprehension processes. Furthermore, this work provides a novel method to automatically author a Socratic dialogue-based ITS. Indeed, two major outcomes of this work are a Socratic dialogue-based ITS and an automated dialogue authoring tool, which generates full Socratic dialogue from Java source code.The key objectives of this dissertation were, first, to determine whether the Socratic method would be effective at eliciting learners to engage in self-explanations with the help of the Socratic Tutor ITS and, second, to assess the quality of Socratic Author\u27s auto-generated tutorial dialogue. Thus, the work presented here sought to answer two main research questions: (1) can a Socratic ITS lead to improved code comprehension? and (2) to what extent can Socratic dialogue be generated automatically?In sum, this research helps establish a relationship between code comprehension and the use of the Socratic method in learning computer programming. Furthermore, the work introduces a novel approach for generating Socratic dialogue from source code with examples for the Java programming language. The auto-authoring tool could help teachers and ITS developers create tutorial dialogues automatically from Java code without requiring nondomain knowledge. To the best of our knowledge, no such auto-generation of tutorial dialogues from source code has been done before and thus constituting a premiere
The footnote of Muhammad Amin bin Sadr al-Din al-Shirwani in 1036 AH in the interpretation of Anowar Al-tanzeel, and the secrets of the interpretation of Surat al-Fatihah in investigation and study.
No full textBu çalışmada, 'Haşiyetü Tefsîr-i Sûreti’l-Fâtihati alâ Envâri’t Tenzil li Muhammed Emin Sadriddin eş-Şirvânî (ö. 1036 H.)' tahkik ve tahlil edilmiştir. Müellifin Tefsir-i El-Beydâvî (ö. 685 H.) kitabının hutbesini şerh edildiği, ardından Beydavi'nin Sûreti’l-Fâtihati tanıttığı ve ayetlerini tefsir ettiği ve (Amin) kelimesini ve surenin faziletini şerh ettiği görülmüştür. Çalışma planı, bir giriş içerir ve araştırmanın önemi iki açıdan ortaya çıkar; birincisi metnin mahtut olması, ikincisi ise haşiyede işlenen konudur. Bu, araştırmanın seçilmesinin nedenlerinden biridir ve aynı zamanda metnin yazarı İmam Beydavi'nin fazileti nedeniyle önem taşımaktadır. Araştırmacının amacı, el-şerirvani'yi ön plana çıkarmak ve onun haşiyenin hayata geçirerek, araştırmacıların ve öğrencilerinin yararlanması için kütüphanelerin raflarına aktararak, onun değerli etkilerini tanıtmaktır. Daha önce yapılmış çalışmaların eksikliğine ek olarak, onun hayatı hakkında kaynaklarda yer alan bilgilerin azlığı, araştırmacının bunları takip etmesini ve belgelemesini zorlaştırmaktadır. Girişten sonra önsöz ve çalışmanın iki bölümü bulunmaktadır: Birincisi (Tahlil bölümü), ikinci bölümde ise (Tahkik bölümü yani Haşiye'nin metni). Araştırmacı, yaşam öyküsü kitaplarını takip ederek metnin yazarını ve müellifi tanıtarak, tarih kitaplarından da yararlanarak büyüdüğü toplumun siyasi ve sosyal durumundan bahsederek, betimsel tümevarım yaklaşımından yararlanmıştır. İkinci bölümünde İslam Araştırmaları Merkezi'nin (ASAM) metodu yöntemi kullanılarak tahkik yapılmıştır. Araştırmacının vardığı sonuçlara gelince, diğer birçok bilim adamından yapılan Müellif alıntılarının baskınlığı de dahil olmak üzere sonuçlara ulaşılmıştır. Bize onun Hanefi mezhebinden ve Maturidi inancına sahip olduğu görünüyor. Tefsir, konuşma bilimi ve Mantık âlimi olduğunu, yabancı olmasına rağmen Arapça'da maharetli olduğunu gösteriyor. ?The Summary of Thesis; This thesis dealt with the footnote of Muhammad Amin bin Sadr al-Din al-Shirwani in 1036 AH in the interpretation of Anowar Al-tanzeel, and the secrets of the interpretation of Surat al-Fatihah in investigation and study. In this footnote, the author explained the sermon of the book Tafsir Al-Baydawi in the year 685 AH, then he introduced Surat Al-Fatihah and explained its verses. Finally, he came to the interpretation of the word ""Amen"" and the virtue of Surat Al-Fatihah The study plan consists of an introduction that included the importance of research, which emerged in two aspects: The first is that it is a manuscript, and the second is in terms of the topic that the footnote deals with, which was the reason for choosing the research.In addition to the virtue of the author of the text, Imam Al-Baydawi, and his scholarly status. The researcher's goal of the study was to highlight the Sherwani author and to introduce its effects of value by removing the dust of time from his manuscript and transferring it to the shelves of libraries for the benefit of researchers and students of knowledge. The scarcity of information about his life in the biographies made it difficult for the researcher to track and record it, in addition to the lack of previous studies. The researcher based his study on an introduction, followed by two parts: the first obe is the study part, and the second is the Investigation part. In his study, the researcher relied on the descriptive inductive method. He did this by introducing the owner of the text and the author by tracking the books of translations. In addition to talking about the political and social situation of the society in which the author grew up, benefiting from the history books. However , the researcher in the investigation department relied on the approach of the Assam Islamic Research Center. The study reached a set of results, the most important of which was that the author conveyed to us the opinions of many scholars. Furthermore, He devoted a great deal of space to the comparison between al-Zamakhshari and al-Baydawi in his footnotes. Finally, it became clear to us that Al-Shirwani is a scholar, Maturidi in the creed, his school is AlHanifia, and well versed in Sharia and Arabic sciences, even though , he is a foreigner.
Study of 27 Y-STR markers in United Arab Emirates population
No full textThe recently introduced 6-dyes Yfiler® Plus multiplex kit which includes 27 Y-STR loci has been used to study 436 UAE Arab male individuals. In addition to the 17 Y-STRs traditionally used in Yfiler® multiplex kit, Yfiler® Plus has ten additional Y-STRs. It includes seven rapidly mutating Y-STRs (RM Y-STRs) namely DYS560, DYS576, DYS627, DYS518, DYS449 and DYF387S1ab, and three moderately mutating Y-STRs namely DYS481, DYS533 and DYS460. The RM Y-STRs were already proven to be powerful for discriminating closely related and unrelated males’ individuals. As a result, a total number of 419 haplotypes were observed out of 436 samples analysed of UAE Arab males’ population, whereas 15 haplotypes were shared between two individuals and one haplotypes were shared between three individuals. The discrimination capacity (DC) for the 27 loci was found to be 0.9618 whereas haplotype diversity (HD) was found to be 0.99982. AMOVA results showed that UAE population clustered along with Saudi Arabia East [Arab] population which indicates that they have a closer genetic relation. While it was standing away compared to other relevant populations. In conclusion, Yfiler® Plus multiplex kit showed higher power of discrimination than all previous studies conducted on the same population. This study considered the first study conducted using 27 Y-STR loci in this population. Geographic distribution of the populations analysed in this study are well reflected in the genetic distance results
Viscoelastoplastic bodies under cyclic loading in thermal-radiation fields
No full textAbstractDeformation of viscoelastoplastic bodies in the neutron and thermal fluxes under a one-time loading has been studied previously in [1–3]. A mathematical model has been set forth in [4] for a cyclic deformation of elastoplastic bodies in a neutron flux. In the paper [5,6] ferrofluid flow and heat transfer in a semi annulus enclosure is investigated considering thermal radiation. This article [7] explores the effect of thermal radiation on Al2O3–water nanofluid flow and heat transfer in an enclosure with a constant flux heating element. In the article [8], effect of thermal radiation on magnetohydrodynamics nanofluid flow between two horizontal rotating plates is studied. In the study [8], heat and mass transfer characteristic of unsteady nanofluid flow between two parallel plates is investigated considering thermal radiation.This study considers the process of a combined effect of the heat, radiation and force cyclic loads on a viscoelastoplastic laminated body within the frames of the theory of small elastoplastic deformations
