The aim of this research is to promote the use of the three concepts—the Zone of Proximal Development (ZPD), the Gettier Problem, and Corpus Linguistics (Contextual Learning) to increase the academic performance of early undergraduate engineering students.  \nMethods. 30 engineering students completed one untimed Mensa IQ Test of 10 questions and one Simon-Binet IQ Test of 50 random IQ questions with a 12-minute time limit. Before the second Simon-Binet Test, one group, G(a), was given ZPD scaffolding in three major topics – Working Memory, Fluid Reasoning and Spatial Reasoning – as they had incorrectly answered questions based on these concepts in their first Mensa IQ test. The second group, G(b), was not given the ZPD scaffolding. A statistical t-test that was later performed indicated that G(a) outperformed G(b) in the second IQ test.  \nResults and conclusion. The t-test provides evidence that the hypothesis of this research, i.e. that ZPD, Gettier Problem and Corpus Linguistics can enhance the performance of the students in a short time period, is correct. After the first Mensa IQ test, the level of both the groups of engineering students, G(a) and G(b), was almost same, which was indicated by the very similar mean results. However, after supporting G(a) with ZPDin their three problem areas – Working Memory, Fluid Reasoning and Spatial Reasoning – after their first IQ test, the performance of this group improved more in comparison to G(b).  \nResearch restrictions. It was not possible to provide all the random questions of the second online test (Simon-Binet) to all 30 students because the total number of questions would be 1500. Further, the third and fourth-year engineering students are not included in this research in inhibition that the effect of the investigated tools would not be clearly visible.  \nCognitive value. The paper presents empirical research on engineering students, demonstrating the practical utility of ZPD, Gettier Problem and Corpus Linguistics in the process of learning, potentially irrespective of any discipline.  \nKey words: Zone of Proximal Development, Gettier Problem, Corpus Linguistics, interdisciplinary approach, epistemology  \nIntroduction  \nThjuesconcept otified andffJoustifieund trTerueis kBnoefled(JTgeB, y)petrtopounhat jusdtitcat wtionatevf anyertrelithaisn be in absence of complete awareness in all respect, or by the rule of disjunction when one fact compels other belief(s) to be a justified truth. If we try to compare any legal judiciary proof with this scope of unjustified knowledge of JTM, then any judiciary verdict will go scot free, but the same open-ended stance of JTB gets converted itself into a vantage point in the field of epistemology for learners. In 1963, Edmund L. Gettier, an American philosopher and Professor Emeritus at the University of Massachusetts Amherst, conceptualised what is now known as the Gettier Problem. Gettier argument is based on the two aforesaid cases (ingorance and disjunction) of JTB and claims that it is difficult to justify any belief as absolute truth. This theory of epistemology is dominant and works as a tool to promote gaining more knowledge rather than relying on any learning concept as a single existing absolute truth. It is an idea that any belief can be justified as truth up to some extent without any guarantee of absolute knowledge (Pardo, 2010) .  \nAnother complementary concept to raise the potential level learning of learners irresp","cbCaisWhAH11QlRc","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCaisWhAH11QlRc","pdf",383018,13,"English","# Abstract\n# Introduction\n# Methods\n# Results and conclusion\n# Research restrictions\n# Cognitive value","[{\"question\":\"What is the aim of this research?\",\"answer\":\"The research aims to promote using ZPD, the Gettier Problem, and Corpus Linguistics (contextual learning) to increase academic performance of early undergraduate engineering students.\"},{\"question\":\"How were the participants tested in the study?\",\"answer\":\"Thirty engineering students completed an untimed Mensa IQ test (10 questions) and a Simon-Binet IQ test (50 random questions) with a 12-minute limit.\"},{\"question\":\"What effect did ZPD scaffolding have on learning performance?\",\"answer\":\"The group receiving ZPD scaffolding on working memory, fluid reasoning, and spatial reasoning outperformed the group without scaffolding in the second IQ test, supporting the research hypothesis.\"}]","Expression - Cognitive development by Zone of Proximal Development (ZPD) - Gettier problem & corpus linguistics in epistemology | PDF",1791052405,33]
