Deep Reinforcement Learning with Double Q-learning

The goal of reinforcement learning (Sutton and Barto, 1998) is to learn good policies for sequential decision problems, by optimizing a cumulative future reward signal. Q-learning (Watkins, 1989) is one of the most popular reinforcement learning algorithms, but it is known to sometimes learn un-

Learning Environments Designed According to Learning ...

learning, if the learning environment is designed according to student learning styles, their academic achievements increase (Erden & Altun, 2006). Learning Styles There are many definitions of learning styles in the literature. Shuell (1986) explained that learning styles are the different ways used by individuals to process

Research on the Effectiveness of Online Learning

Online learning can be enhanced by giving learners control of their interactions with media and prompting learner reflection. When groups of students are learning together online, support mechanisms such as guiding questions generally influence the way students interact, but not the amount they learn. Shachar M., & Neumann, Y., (2010).

learning through observation, abstract conceptualization emphasizes learning through thinking and active experimentation focuses on learning by doing [26]. Learning styles in Kolb’s can be categorized as divergent, assimilator, convergent and accommodator which each learning style is a combination of two learning modes.

Kolb's Learning Styles and Experiential Learning Cycle

Oct 25, 2017 · Kolb states that learning involves the acquisition of abstract concepts that can be applied flexibly in a range of situations. In Kolb’s theory, the impetus for the development of new concepts is provided by new experiences. “Learning is the process whereby knowledge is created through the transformation of experience” (Kolb, 1984, p. 38) .

Effects of Distance Learning on Learning Effectiveness

Learning Effectiveness, as an index to measure learners’learning results (Wang, 2009), is one of the key items in instruction quality evaluation. Learning Effectiveness would be affected by learning styles, curriculum design, and instruction (Kearsley, 2009) that a lot of researchers invest in discussing the effects of ...
