Keefe, James W. – Momentum, 1990
Argues that cognitive style diagnosis gives a strong and rational basis to a personalized approach to education. Discusses the relationship between information processing and learning style. Describes the National Association of Secondary School Principals'"Learning Style Profile," which assesses students' perceptual responses, cognitive…

Kern, Ernest L.; Carpenter, John R. – Journal of Geological Education, 1986
Reviews a study which sought to assess the influence of field activities, as compared to classroom-contained activities, upon students in an earth science laboratory course. Test results indicated that both groups had identical levels of lower-order learning but the field-oriented group demonstrated higher levels of understanding and application.…

Shick, Jacqueline – Journal of Physical Education and Recreation, 1981
It is important that teachers test not only knowledge, but also comprehension, application, synthesis, and evaluation. Several suggestions for test items in physical education are presented. (CJ)

Boulton-Lewis, Gillian M. – Australian Mathematics Teacher, 1989
Summarized is the research focused on the relationship between children's increasing capacity to process information and the levels at which they should be capable of recognizing mathematical concepts. Implications for mathematics curricula and teachers are discussed. Lists three references. (YP)

Blosser, Patricia E. – 1987
Some science educators who are interested in conceptual development have considered the phenomenon of student misconceptions and alternative frameworks. Researchers have used a variety of terms to describe the situation in which students' ideas differ from those of a scientist about a particular concept. This digest was produced to briefly…

Meier, Sherry L. – Mathematics Teacher, 1992
Discusses problem-solving evaluation methods and describes the development of an instrument to evaluate an individual's problem-solving processes. Provides an example of the instrument. (MDH)

Han, Jong-Ha – 1986
This paper describes a study designed to investigate the development of scientific reasoning or logical thinking patterns of South Korean secodary school students. The scientific reasoning or logical thinking patterns were categorized into patterns of logic such as seriation, combinations, proportion, control of variables, probability, and…

Kaplan, Rochelle G. – 1987
It is generally accepted that mathematical reasoning, like language acquisition, is part of normal cognitive development. This paper proposes that other variables must be considered when explaining the differences in the acquisition of mathematical reasoning skills in young children. Considered is some of the evidence that suggests that certain…

Stiggins, Richard J.; And Others – 1988
Educators are now focusing on the improvement of reasoning skills. A key to success in improving such skills will be the ability of the individual teacher to measure skills in a valid and reliable manner. This guide will help teachers acquire the needed assessment skills. Major topics include measuring thinking skills, learning to plan an…

Davis, Gary Ernest – Mathematics Education Research Journal, 1989
Describes the method of having children observe videotapes of other children's mathematics activities to gain insights into the observing children's thought processes and the observed children's activities. Discusses the applications of this method as a research tool and as a probe for classroom teachers in evaluating students. (MDH)

Kamii, Constance; Lewis, Barbara Ann – Arithmetic Teacher, 1991
Presents a study of 87 second graders to demonstrate that achievement tests in primary mathematics emphasize pupil's lower-order thinking by comparing answers to interview questions from constructivist and traditionally instructed groups. Results indicated that constructivist instructed students demonstrated superior higher-order thinking on tasks…
