Cohen, David – Journal of Curriculum and Supervision, 1987
Although exploring students' thought processes can be rewarding, most teachers rely heavily on reponses to tests and assignments that fail to disclose learners' thinking patterns. Concept maps grouping interrelated ideas can encourage students to demonstrate effective and meaningful assimilation of organized study areas. Includes five footnotes.…

Solomon, Avery – For the Learning of Mathematics, 1991
This in-depth examination of a line explores several ways that the infinite nature and finite representation of a line can be perceived. These attempts to understand the nature of the line give insights into the nature of understanding itself. (MDH)

Hope, Jack A.; Kelly, Ivan W. – Mathematics Teacher, 1983
Several common errors reflecting difficulties in probabilistic reasoning are identified, relating to ambiguity, previous outcomes, sampling, unusual events, and estimating. Knowledge of these mistakes and interpretations may help mathematics teachers understand the thought processes of their students. (MNS)

Randolph, W. Alan; And Others – Training and Development Journal, 1979
The authors present an alternative model for training in organizational development (OD) which differs from other such models by being eclectic, inexpensive, and applicable to participants with varying degrees of experience. A design for a training laboratory is elaborated and related to theories about OD and about learning processes. (SK)

Davis, James R. – 1993
It is argued in this book that postsecondary instructors have to improve their performance in the classroom not only by achieving a better understanding of how teachers teach, but also of how learners learn. Most postsecondary teachers are well trained in their disciplines, but few have received formal training in how to teach or have acquired an…
