Znanost je pomembna institucija moderne družbe, ki zna hitro in učinkovito vrednotiti ideje, vendar njen razvoj vseskozi spremljajo tudi težave. Področje kriminologije znanosti, ki preučuje vedenje ...znanstvenikov, ko njihova dejanja niso v skladu z vrednotami in pravili znanstvene skupnosti, predvsem zaradi hitrega povečevanja števila znanstvenikov v svetu postaja vedno bolj pomembno. V članku opredelimo temeljne vrednote in načela znanosti ter opišemo najpogostejša odstopanja od teh načel. Ocenimo stanje v Sloveniji in opišemo globalne pobude, ki poskušajo ustvariti pogoje, da bi bilo odklonilnega vedenja v znanosti čim manj.
Prispevek obravnava pojmovanje prostora v sodobni nevroznanosti, v zgodovini znanosti in v filozofiji. V uvodu predstavimo polemiko med Albertom Einsteinom in Henrijem Bergsonom, v kateri sta poleg ...odnosa med znanostjo in filozofijo razpravljala tudi o vprašanju narave prostora. V nadaljevanju obravnavamo temeljni premik v znanstveni misli glede vprašanj, ki so presegala zmožnost eksperimentalnega preizkusa. Vprašanja o naravi prostora so tako prešla pod okrilje filozofije znanosti in niso bila več predmet neposrednih znanstvenih razprav, filozofija znanosti pa se je ločila od znanosti. V príspevku analiziramo tudi Aristotelovo obravnavo kontinuuma prostora in s tem povezane Zenonove aporije, ki so pomembno vplivale na poznejše teorije o prostoru. Predstavimo tudi sodobne nevroznanstvene raziskave predstavitev prostora v možganih.
Intelligent tutoring systems are among the most recent advances in educational technology, being recognized as powerful adaptive educational systems providing services and modules for personalized ...learning to students with varying backgrounds, abilities, behaviours and knowledge. Proposals are presented for construction of an Autonomous Intelligent and Adaptive E-learning System (AIAES) for education based on assignments, tasks and exercises for the improvement of information literacy.
Autonomous Intelligent and Adaptive E-learning Systems (AIAESs) are a generation of learning systems that include the individuality and personalization of the student in the learning process, similar ...to what happens in a traditional individualized lesson with one teacher and one student. This paper reports the design and development architecture of an AIAES, the main objective of which is to improve the information literacy of adolescents. Computer systems such as AIAES need to provide the same or at least similar, instructional and interactional advantages as those found in the traditional human tutoring process, which has proven successful, and has represented the most efficient method of learning and teaching. Development of an AIAES, therefore, implies an interdisciplinary approach that connects various fields, including Computer Science, Cognitive Science, Artificial Intelligence, and Functional Literacy to fields connected to education. The developed services for intelligent analysis of various metadata provide the AIAES with the ability to adapt the learning course based on an individual learner's learning abilities in the learning process.
