A common view of learning in infancy emphasizes the role of incidental sensory experiences from which increasingly abstract statistical regularities are extracted. In this view, infant brains initially support basic sensory and motor functions, followed by maturation of higher-level association cortex. Here, we critique this view and posit that, by...

When active learning (AL) is applied to help the user develop a model on a large dataset through interactively presenting data instances for labeling, existing AL techniques can suffer from two main drawbacks: first, they may require hundreds of labeled data instances in order to reach high accuracy; second, retrieving the next instance to label ca...

As a result of the installation of the COVID-19 (coronavirus disease 19) pandemic, online education has become an important teaching alternative, and new challenges about how to teach were found. Here we report our experience in offering an online course to review Human Physiology. We proposed synchronous and asynchronous activities using different...

The presentation of pre-sliced specimens is a frequently used method in the laboratory teaching of cross-sectional anatomy. In the present study, a new teaching method based on a hands-on slicing activity was introduced into the teaching of brain, heart, and liver cross-sectional anatomy. A randomized, controlled trial was performed. A total of 182...

Over the last few decades, there has been a shift in the classroom from lecture-based to active learning settings with the argument that students retain more information when they are involved in the learning process. This correlation is even stronger when the active learning setting incorporates a real-world or personal connection. Using active le...

The Covid-19 pandemic has drastically altered the nature of pedagogical life at all levels of academia, with 3rd level education being no exception. The sudden pivot to emergency online teaching at the onset of the pandemic has transformed the day-day activities of both lecturing staff and students alike, with both groups intertwined in an increasi...

Active learning involves selecting a few critical unlabeled samples for manual and credible labeling to improve the performance of the current classifier. The critical step of active learning is the sample selection strategy. Uncertainty sampling is a well-known sample selection strategy, which involves selecting the samples for which the current c...

Behavior courses face numerous challenges when moving to an online environment, as has been made necessary by the COVID-19 pandemic. These challenges occur largely because behavior courses, like most organismal biology courses, often stress experiential learning through laboratories that involve live animals, as well as a lecture component that emp...

Active learning has the potential to reduce labeling costs in terms of time and money. In practical use, active learning works as an efficient data labeling strategy. Another point of view to look at active learning is to consider active learning as a learning problem, where the training data is queried by the active learner. Under this perspective...
