Jones, Hanneke – Curriculum Journal, 2008
This article aims to outline the reported experiences of practitioners in a local authority in England where, since the mid-1990s, a high proportion of teachers have undertaken professional development in the field of teaching thinking skills. The article is based on the main findings from a questionnaire survey which was carried out among first,…

Martin, J. Larry – Journal for Research in Mathematics Education, 1976
Piaget's theories concerning the child's development of spatial concepts are considered in comparison with related mathematical concepts. The analysis yielded discrepancies between Piagetian and mathematical use of terms. (SD)

Demorest, Steven M. – Journal of Research in Music Education, 1992
Describes outcomes of research into the ability to process and evaluate information about musical rhythm and pitch. Reports that the Pitch Rhythm Integration Measure (PRIM) is reliable and statistically the same across age groups. Concludes that there is a significant age-related increase in the importance of rhythm for novices' perceptual…

Bliss, Joan – Physics Education, 1978
Describes children's reactions to chance and probability in a variety of experimental situations, using four different experiments from Piaget's work, to give a clearer picture of how children approach these ideas. (GA)

Schultz, Karen A. – 1978
The role of visual-spatial operations in nonroutine mathematical problem solving in schoolchildren is investigated through a search of related literature. It is suggested that certain visual-spatial operations are concomitant with the mental processes necessary in problem solving. The following topics are discussed: (1) the importance of problem…

Belcastro, Frank P. – RE:view, 1989
The article suggests that Belcastro rods, which retain the basic properties of Cuisenaire rods but allow instant identification by touch, may be useful in teaching mathematical concepts to blind children. Drawings illustrate use of the rods in teaching such concepts as addition and subtraction. (Author/DB)

Katz, Phyllis A. – Sex Roles, 1986
Reviews recent studies of change in gender-stereotyped behavior or attitudes in children. Suggests factors in susceptibility to counterstereotyping attempts including: (1) developmental level, (2) relationship between sex role cognitions and behavior, (3) degree of consistency in gender-stereotyped behavior, and (4) the role of individual…

Hawkins, Graham – Environmental Education and Information, 1985
Identifies the principle types of cognitive and affective influences which contribute to the development of an individual's conceptual framework. Explains how external influences affect a child's interpretation of the environment. Urges that multidimensional experiences be offered to children and that students' perceptual levels, personal…

Disinger, John F. – 1986
This digest describes a selection of environmental education research studies that were included in the ERIC system in 1985. It is noted that much of the reported research in environmental education continues to deal with the affective domain, but that there are stronger efforts toward relating affective components with knowledge gain,…

Oxford, Rebecca L. – 1978
Frequently a variety of visual perception difficulties correlate with reading disabilities. A study was made to investigate the relationship between visual perception and reading disability in families, and to explore the genetic aspects of the relationship. One-hundred twenty-five reading-disabled students, ages 7.5 to 12 years, were matched with…

Holt, David K. – Art Education, 1983
Discusses the relationship between aesthetic value and the improvement of perception of visual artwork. Recent experiments have attempted to improve visual perception of school children, and to study their developmental preferences in art. But art has moral dimensions, and aesthetic education must also facilitate the appreciation of aesthetic…

Prawat, Richard S. – Educational Researcher, 1991
Examines three approaches to fostering higher level thinking in students: (1) the stand-alone approach; (2) the embedding approach; and (3) the immersion approach. The first two approaches teach thinking skills separately from or in the context of subject matter content; the immersion approach assigns an active role to perception and downplays…
