This study used a qualitative, holistic case study to explore obstacles tutors faced when implementing high cognitive demand (HCD) tasks and the possibility of using embedded educative curricular supports to overcome them. Much prior research has explored using educative supports in classrooms with teachers (Davis et al., 2017), but more research…

Research and development strategies designed and implemented at the Wisconsin Research and Development Center for Cognitive Learning and the Southwest Regional Laboratory are discussed in papers by the directors of each and by members of the R & D Center staff. These papers further give examples of the research and development activities underway…

The purpose of this study was to investigate the potential usefulness of autobiographies as instructional materials for general education objectives and an introspective appraisal of the method of analysis, identifying and analyzing the problems encountered in the use of the method. (Author/RK)

Award-winning instructional materials analyzed to determine the relationship between the types of teaching techniques and the specific instructional objectives and economics course content. (MF)

A study to check on the efficacy of the teaching methods used in "Language Basics Plus," a basal elementary language arts program published by Harper and Row, involved a pretest, treatment, and mastery test procedure used with more then 3,000 elementary students.

When designing educational resources, it is important to have a clear understanding of the instructional problem you are attempting to solve, both in terms of its appropriate domain and level. While the cognitive, affective, and psychomotor domains are not mutually exclusive, one will usually predominate. In determining the appropriate level, it…

Presented is a study to investigate the usefulness of autobiographies of scholars, artists and scientists as instructional resources for general education objectives. A theoretical discussion in which a rationale for the usefulness of autobiographical materials in general education was developed. This led to the formulation of a Schema of General…
