The role of affective and cognitive factors in learning have long been recognised as imperative determinants of the learning process. Maladaptive styles with which we perceive and explain accomplishments and failures in achievement outcomes have an important motivational impact upon approach and avoidance behaviours towards academic tasks.…

K-12 students enter physical education with many naive conceptions or misconceptions of how motor skills are acquired. One goal of physical education is to teach concepts that will help students learn and perform motor skills, but many practitioners don't know how to provide experiences that will teach students to apply their knowledge…

Emphasizing an holistic approach to learning and life ("put a book in your backpack"), this speech advocates Douglas Heath's maxim 'We hobble a gifted youth if his talent is not yoked to passion; we drown the passionate youth if his emotionality is not disciplined by intellectual skills.' (JC)

Questioning is an important teaching skill. Teaching should be able to ask thinking' questions as well as memory' questions and they should be able to ask questions about ideas as well as facts. Two dimensions of a question are reviewed; the dimensions are then combined into a matrix illustrating thirteen types of cognitive questions. (Author)

An attempt to integrate some promising theoretical approaches to cognitive learning and develop an integrated model which could be tried out in an action learning situation-the classroom. (Author)

The author presents and explains a classification scheme intended to define learning behavior in terms of cognitive principles, affective principles, transformational principles, and heuristic principles. (LS)

Discusses the cognitive approach to instructional design (ID) and how ID practitioners can design training differently. Highlights include how learning occurs; categories of learning; a model that summarizes the components of a well-designed lesson; a framework for ID based on cognitive psychology; and a table to use as a job aid for designing…

The predominant emphasis in American education upon the cognate realm, to the virtual exclusion of affective learning, is discussed in the context of the middle school movement. Nine characteristics of the middle school program that more nearly create a balance between the cognitive and affective elements in learning are cited and translated into…

Discusses parallels between Bloom's taxonomy for cognitive learning outcomes and hypertext design, and argues that hypertext designs should be consistent with desired learning outcomes. Bloom's taxonomy is explained; hypertext designs are described and diagrammed; and the need for more research connecting hypertext design and effective learning is…

A review is presented of the research on the use of cooperative, competitive and individualistic goal structures on learning processes and outcomes. (Author)

Students given evaluation level objectives did as well on relevant and incidental learning as did a control group, while those given knowledge level objectives achieved less incidental learning at the evaluation level. (Editor)

Three tentative conclusions are drawn: personality factors of black students are perceived differently by different groups in sample, styles of perception exist, and that if education is to be void of excessive conflicts, affective objectives must be dealt with. (Author/AM)

Two experiments were conducted to compare the effects of two different experimentally induced orientations toward lesson objectives on teachers' instructional behaviors and the consequent achievement of their pupils. In each experiment, 36 student teachers were randomly assigned to one of two treatments. Each treatment required the teachers to…
