The problems facing our nation's public schools today cannot
be divorced from our enthusiasm for technology and the positive
relationship we believe it shares with our perception of progress.
Based on the second law of thermodynamics, the law of entropy,
author Jeremy Rifkin argues that the development of increasingly
"efficient"...
This thesis examines the ways in which cyberpunk science fiction novels and
short stories reflect our cultural relation with technology, a series of
relationships predicated on the way that corporate control of knowledge
industries increased during the 1980s. The document begins by locating the
means of corporate control in the...
The purpose of this study was to document the development of pre-service teachers' Technology Specific Pedagogy as they learned to teach mathematics with technology during their initial licensure program. The study investigated the pre-service teachers' learning using both a social and a psychological perspective of teacher learning. Two research questions...
The purpose of this study was to determine if there was
a significant difference in the amount of technical subject
matter learned during a fixed period of instruction by
students working with a computer expert system and students
working with human experts from a technical field.
All students participating in...
The purpose of this study was to describe the development of mathematics
preservice teachers’ technology pedagogical content knowledge (TPCK) in a
subject specific, technology integrated teacher preparation program. The study also
investigated the roles of several influential components of the program and the
technology thread throughout the program in supporting...
The objective of this paper is to demonstrate a method for mechanically characterizing a 25 μm thick elastoviscoplastic hemodialysis membrane and for quantifying the force required to use that membrane in compression sealing. First, methods are developed for mechanically characterizing the thin elastoviscoplastic membrane. Then, a finite element model is...
A novel method for modeling bends in coplanar waveguides (CPWs) is described. The CPW can be viewed as a pair of parallel coupled quasi-slot lines. Bends in the CPW are modeled as a non-uniform coupled line system in terms of their even- and odd- mode characteristics. This modeling approach is...
