Faculty in Canadian undergraduate nursing programs have come to rely on preceptorship as the primary model for teaching and learning during the final clinical course. A focused ethnography was completed in order to examine undergraduate nursing students’ experience of rural hospital preceptorship...

Posterlet: A Game-Based Assessment of Children’s Choices to Seek Feedback and to Revise
2015
Chin, Doris B., Schwartz, Daniel Lewis , Blair, Kristen Pilner, Cutumisu, Maria
We introduce one instance of a game-based assessment designed to measure students’ self-regulated learning choices. We describe our overarching measurement strategy and we present Posterlet, an assessment game in which students design posters and learn graphic design principles from feedback. We...

Gradient-TD methods are a new family of learning algorithms that are stable and convergent under a wider range of conditions than previous reinforcement learning algorithms. In particular, gradient-TD algorithms enable off-policy problems---problems where the distribution of the data is different...

Walking adaptation, training and assessment in young children and individuals with incomplete spinal cord injury
DownloadFall 2010
This thesis includes four projects that examine motor learning and assess novel approaches for the training and evaluation of walking. In Project 1 we study motor adaptation in children aged 8-36 months using a split-belt treadmill. Split-belt walking, in which one leg moves faster than the...

Machine learning has been used to solve single-agent search problems. One of its applications is to guide search algorithms by learning heuristics. However, it is difficult to provide guarantees on the quality of learning from a neural network, since the resulting heuristics can be inadmissible,...

High School Physics Students’, High School Physics Teachers’, and University Physics Professors’ Conceptions about What it Means to Understand Physics: A Phenomenographic Study
DownloadSpring 2021
There is limited literature about what it means to understand physics. Previous research has focused on university physics students’ understanding of physics concepts, but no research to date has examined variations across populations of what it means to understand physics. This study begins to...

Aversive conditioning on horse back: A management alternative for grassland systems threatened by sedentary elk populations
DownloadFall 2009
Loss of migratory behaviour in ungulates has been observed worldwide and invites new tools for managing the habitat degradation that results from these sedentary populations. We assessed use of aversive conditioning on horseback as a means of reducing grazing pressure and restoring migratory...
