Aiello, P.; D'Elia, F.; Di Tore, S.; Sibilio, M. – E-Learning and Digital Media, 2012
Consideration of a possible use of virtual reality technologies in school contexts requires gathering together the suggestions of many scientific domains aimed at "understanding" the features of these same tools that let them offer valid support to the teaching-learning processes in educational settings. Specifically, the present study is aimed at…

Sheridan, Heather; Reingold, Eyal M. – Journal of Memory and Language, 2012
The present experiments examined perceptual specificity effects using a rereading paradigm. Eye movements were monitored while participants read the same target word twice, in two different low-constraint sentence frames. The congruency of perceptual processing was manipulated by either presenting the target word in the same distortion typography…

Excell, Lorayne; Linington, Vivien – South African Journal of Childhood Education, 2011
A literate child is one who is able to read, write, speak and listen. Literacy begins at birth, and continues steadily as children develop. The explicit processes that form emergent literacy are for example, phonemic awareness, letter and word recognition, vocabulary enrichment and structural analysis. These literacy practices are well documented…

Haglund, Elaine – Peabody Journal of Education, 1981
Recent findings related to neurological research include: (1) the Proster Theory implies that the brain works by sets of programs or prosters; (2) the Brain Growth Spurts theory defines the growth of the brain in spurts with cycles of rest; and (3) in the Hemispheric Specialization Theory, the left and right hemispheres of the brain have specific…

Lydon, Mary C.; Cheffers, John T. F. – 1978
Questions relating to decision making and its relatonship to body coordination and self-concept in the elementary school child are investigated in this study. The independent variable of teacher behavior was manipulated in order to provide two related learning environments. One, termed Vertical Teaching, required the teacher to retain all of the…

Phillips, John L., Jr. – 1969
Discussed are Piaget's methods, his relation to other theories, and an overview of his theory. Described are the six stages of his sensorimotor period with a summary of imitation and play, and the concrete operations period with the subperiods of changes from sensorimotor in preoperation, differences from the adult in preoperation, and the…

Hodges, Walter L. – 1970
The Process Oriented Interactive Learning System postulated in this paper starts with the generation of a set of process objectives for children which are based on the principles of development - intellectual and social - and related to the substance of the basic goals which society holds for education: reading, language, number, independence, and…

Bird, Anne Marie; Rikli, Roberta – Research Quarterly for Exercise and Sport, 1983
Aspects of information feedback and practice conditions were studied to gain insight into processes underlying the observational learning of motor skills. A major purpose was to test whether subjects observing a practice variability strategy would perform better than those observing a model practicing under constant conditions. (Authors/PP)

Puretz, Susan L. – Research Quarterly for Exercise and Sport, 1983
The effects of practice on the bilateral transfer of complex dance movement patterns were studied by having subjects learn two sequences under eight different conditions. Results indicate that teachers have been correct in expecting students to transfer movements bilaterally (from one side to the other) but should teach to the nonpreferred side.…

Davidson, Jane W.; Pitts, Stephanie E.; Salgado-Correia, Jorge – Journal of Aesthetic Education, 2001
The process of learning to play a musical instrument involves hours of individual practice. Even for players who do not reach high levels of competence, a considerable amount of time will be spent in working independently of the teacher, meaning that music learning demands a high level of self-sufficiency and the ability to be self-reflective if…
