Keane, Lainey; Griffin, Claire P. – Irish Educational Studies, 2018
Self-assessment practices have been advocated in recent Irish educational documents due to their potential to enhance school children's learning and self-regulatory skills. However, the literature has highlighted how some children struggle to make accurate self-assessments of their academic work, which diminishes such positive effects (Keane and…

Watson, Jane M.; Moritz, Jonathan B. – Mathematical Thinking and Learning, 2000
Explores the development of understanding of the concept of average with students from grades 3 to 9 through interviews. Observed six levels of response based on an hierarchical model of cognitive functioning. Documents usage of ideas associated with the three standard measures of central tendency and representation as strategies for problem…

Sibbald, Mary Jo – Design for Arts in Education, 1988
Investigates Michael Polanyi's theory of emergence of the framework for tacit (personal) knowing, its function in the reasoning process, and the significant role art can play in the development of personal knowledge. States that intensive study of works of art will enable students to make discriminating choices that ultimately evolve into personal…

Taylor, Lyn – Focus on Learning Problems in Mathematics, 1993
Presents background information about Vygotskian theories. Describes Vygotsky's Zone of Proximal Development (ZPD). Discusses a model of attitude development that incorporates the ZPD, meta-awareness, the components of an attitude, and factors influencing attitude development. Suggests educational implications. (45 references) (MDH)

Greeno, James G. – Journal for Research in Mathematics Education, 1991
This paper theoretically characterizes number sense as a set of cognitive capabilities for constructing and reasoning within mental models. This perspective provides support for viewing various aspects of number sense as features of students' general condition of knowing about numbers and magnitude, rather than as skills needing specific…

Hausfather, Samuel J. – Action in Teacher Education, 1996
Reviews research linking social and cognitive processes, exploring implications for schooling and teacher education. The social basis of cognitive development is examined, highlighting Vygotsky's work and major aspects of his theory. Implications of sociohistorical perspectives on aspects of schooling are examined, and promising practices related…

Gutierrez, Angel; And Others – Journal for Research in Mathematics Education, 1991
Presented is an alternative method for analyzing the van Hiele level of students' geometrical reasoning. The accuracy of students' answers may afford a description of acquisition and/or expertise for each of the van Hiele levels simultaneously rather than the traditional assignment and evaluation of one level at a time. (JJK)

Milner, Joseph O. – 1983
The developmental stages of writing can be related to Jean Piaget's final three stages of development (preoperational, concrete operational, and formal operational) and to the narrative, descriptive, explanative, analytical, and artistic rhetorical modes. As the child enters kindergarten or the first grade, narrative blooms. By this age most young…

Mariotti, Maria Alessandra – L'Insegnamento della Matematica e delle Scienze Integrate, 1992
Discusses geometrical reasoning in the framework of the theory of Figural Concepts to highlight the interaction between the figural and conceptual components of geometrical concepts. Examples of students' difficulties and errors in geometrical reasoning are interpreted according to the internal tension that appears in figural concepts resulting…

Coco, Clare – 1999
Concept maps are visual representations of knowledge structure and thought. Not enough attention has been paid to the measurement and influence of preservice teachers' knowledge structure and its development over time. This study implemented instructional scaffolding interventions in order to determine the effect on preservice teachers' knowledge…

Roth, Wolff-Michael – Journal of Research in Science Teaching, 2000
Advocates artificial neural networks as models for cognition and development. Provides an example of how such models work in the context of a well-known Piagetian developmental task and school science activity: balance beam problems. (Contains 59 references.) (Author/WRM)

Fuller, Renee – Journal of the Society for Accelerative Learning and Teaching, 1990
This paper describes the Ball-Stick-Bird reading system, which shows students how all the letters of the alphabet can be built with three basic forms: a circle (ball), a line (stick), and an angle (bird). The method also uses modified phonics and developmental linguistics, aids story reading by using capital letters in the beginning, and enhances…

Wax, Naomi; Stavy, Ruth – 1987
In this study, the attitudes of Israeli children aged 6 to 15 years were surveyed regarding their conceptions of plants as living things. It was desired to find out whether children consider plants to be alive, the knowledge differences between the different age groups in the study, how children classify plants according to biological criteria and…

Black, Susan – American School Board Journal, 1997
Describes research on brain development and its relationship to music education. Discusses how music helps some people organize the way they think and work and how music helps them develop in other areas, including mathematics, language, and spatial reasoning. (10 references) (LMI)

Sfard, Anna – Educational Studies in Mathematics, 1991
This paper presents a theoretical framework for investigating the role of algorithms in mathematical thinking using a combined ontological-psychological outlook. The intent is to demonstrate that the processes of learning and of problem solving incorporate an elaborate interplay between operational and structural conceptualizations of the same…
