Children naturally love to learn, but might not like to be taught in certain ways.

Terras, Melody M.; Ramsay, Judith – British Journal of Educational Technology, 2015
Massive open online courses (MOOCs) offer an exciting range of opportunities to widen access and participation in education. The massive and open nature of MOOCs places the control of learning at the discretion of the learner. Therefore, it is essential to understand learner behaviour. This paper examines the psychological considerations inherent…

Labouvie-Vief, Gisela – 1973
The relationship between learning ability and intelligence has continually been a focus of theory and research. It is argued in this paper that the inconclusive results of studies relating individual differences variables such as intellectual abilities to learning are due to a too pragmatic, theoretical orientation. Theoretical models explicating…

IN IDENTIFYING THE GIFTED CHILD, THE TEACHER SHOULD BE ALERT AS TO WHETHER THE CHILD LEARNS EASILY AND RAPIDLY. OTHER FACTORS THAT CAN BE USED TO IDENTIFY THE GIFTED ARE A LARGE AMOUNT OF ENERGY AND A LARGE VOCABULARY. ALSO IMPORTANT ARE THE CHILD'S UNUSUAL POWER OF OBSERVATION, INTELLECTUAL CURIOSITY, UNUSAL POWER OF CONCENTRATION, AND CREATIVE…

Furth, H. G. – Human Development, 1973
Four basic assumptions of IQ tests - age constancy, scholastic validity, standard environment and performance suggiciency are alien to Piaget's theory. Heredity cannot be statistically separated from environment; therefore, Piagetian theory would suggest the nature-nurture controversy is devoid of meaning. (ST)
