Herbster, Douglas L.; And Others – 1987
This paper first presents an overview of studies which categorized types of learning styles, teaching models, and critical thinking modes. In models of teaching, four families of human orientation to learning are identified: information processing, personal, social, and behavioral systems. Learning styles are identified as: concrete/sequential;…

A study looks at young children's responses to tough movement structures, focusing on complements to "easy." The study examines the development of the two major types of rule usage: primitive and adult, and focuses on the inconsistent fluctuations between the primitive and adult levels. It is proposed that the source of complexity in…

Hall, Gene E. – 1985
This discussion of the concerns-based approach to teacher preparation focuses on the works of Frances Fuller and the development of the concerns adoption model as a basis for effective preservice teacher education. An overview of the framework of Fuller's theory examines the salient points in the progression of concerns from non-concern, through…

Yeh, Teh-ming – 1985
According to recent neurolinguistic theories and research, language and other analytic functions are located on the left side of the brain, while spatial and configurational abilities are located on the right side. However, there is some evidence that while learning a language requires the use of both hemispheres of the brain, the right hemisphere…

Stone, Carol Leth – 1982
Long term studies of advance organizers (AO) were analyzed with Glass's meta-analysis technique. AO's were defined as bridges from reader's previous knowledge to what is to be learned. The results were compared with predictions from Ausubel's model of assimilative learning. The results of the study indicated that advance organizers were associated…

Hodges, Daniel L. – 1982
As an aid to increasing teacher effectiveness, this paper outlines findings derived from the field of cognitive psychology on the way in which memory operates, provides examples, and suggests a variety of ways the information can be applied in teaching. Among the findings cited are the following: (1) some types of information can be encoded (i.e.,…

Hanley, Gerard L.; Levine, Marvin – 1982
One of the important cognitive strategies individuals use when learning is to organize many bits of information into integrated patterns called chunks. To investigate the process of chunking spatial information, 32 college students integrated two cognitive maps either before or after an interfering task. The combined spatial layout formed either a…

Marchman, Virginia A. – 1984
This study investigates how children learn not to overgeneralize about grammatical forms and how to reformulate hypotheses about the grammar of their language even when receiving little or no explicit feedback. Two proposals were looked at: (1) input monitoring theory stating that certain overgeneralizations are eliminated from production because…

Burke, Peter J.; And Others – 1984
Literature on adult life stages and career development is synthesized and placed within the perspective of a career cycle model for teachers as adult learners. The teacher career cycle is viewed as a progression affected by personal and environmental factors. The stages a teacher's career proceeds through (e.g., preservice, entry, growing, stable,…

This study examined how students perceived and responded to academic task structures in six junior high school classes. Two classes in mathematics, science, and English were observed for six weeks in order to identify how teachers organized and conducted activities and academic work. In each class, samples of student work were examined and student…
