Motivation

Several approaches have been developed for mining spatial data (i.e.,
generalization-based methods, clustering, spatial associations, approximation
and aggregation, mining in image and raster databases, spatial classification
and spatial trend detection). However, we argue that these approaches do

Can children genuinely create new knowledge, as opposed to merely carrying out activities that resemble those of mature scientists and innovators? The answer is yes, provided the comparison is not to works of genius but to standards that prevail in…

The purpose of this article is to demonstrate how the method of meaning implication discourse analysis can be applied in the context of online collaborative reflective practice of student teachers. The method was developed to identify knowledge building in networked…
