AuthorIT and TutorIT represent a fundamentally different approach to building and delivering adaptive learning systems. Intelligent Tutoring Systems (ITS) guide students as they solve problems. BIG DATA systems make pedagogical decisions based on average student performance. Decision making in AuthorIT and TutorIT is designed to model the human…

Connected learning is "an emerging, synthetic model of learning whose principles are consistent with those of positive youth development, sociocultural learning theory, and findings from ethnographic studies of young people's interest-related interactions with digital media" (Maul et al., 2017, p. 2). It seeks to harness new media…

From the 1990s until 2017 the High Ability and Inquiry Research Group (HAIR) at McGill University in Montreal, received C$1.3M in research funds from Canadian, Quebec, and US agencies to support its research and graduate training in education and educational psychology. Their research encompassed two principal areas, Inquiry in Education and…

Provides an introduction to both the history and literature of the role of memory in cognitive psychology. Discussions of aspects of cognitive learning theory are followed by short annotated bibliographies. A list of journals in the field is also provided. (CS)

Eighteen journal articles and monographs on learning theory and its possible applications to library instruction are listed and annotated. Most of the materials were published within the last 10 years, although some earlier titles that are considered basic are included. (EM)

The author reviews some of the recent research on learning to read, and discusses two theories prevalent during the 1970s of the process of perception during mature reading--the Hypothesis Position and the Direct Perception Position. (KC)

Reviews and compares the theories of Piaget and Vygotsky on the relationships between child language and thought, as presented in their respective works, "The Language and Thought of the Child" and "Thought and Language." (SJL)

This annotated bibliography cites 15 references on cognitive development in adolescence and its implications for secondary school teaching. Particular attention is given to Piaget's theory of the formal operational state of thought. (SJL)

Surveys the long-standing, diversified tradition of European research on text and discourse and cites the main sources and overview works in the field. (FL)

The references in this document provide an overview of empirical and conceptual scholarship on the application of learning theories in community college classrooms. Specific theories discussed in the citations include: active learning, cooperative learning, multiple intelligences, problem-based learning, and self-regulated learning. In addition to…

This paper reviews several issues regarding one- versus two-factor theories of learning. First, the traditional distinctions between classical and operant conditioning are presented. This includes both theoretical and experimental contrasts. Second, empirical evidence in support for a one-factor theory is examined. Numerous research studies…

Although both the general public and research scientists intuitively understand the word learning, the meanings they assign to it vary. Nevertheless, there is too much concern about generalizing the meaning, and too little concern about learning context. Learning context is the internal, changing relation between individual and situation; it is…

The cognitive processes involved in the human ability to understand and use positional notation (i.e., place-value) were investigated in a series of psychological experiments. Although the tasks used in all studies were very simple, usually only requiring the tested individual to identify the larger of two numbers as quickly as possible, a number…

Newcomers to the field of suggestopedia, or the Lozanov method, are at a loss as to how and where to obtain literature on this subject, thus prompting the publishing of this bibliography. Recent interest has been spurred by, among other things, the establishment of the Society for Suggestive-Accelerative Learning and Teaching (SALT) in America and…

This literature review focuses on determining the psychological variables related to problem solving and presents arguments for self-correcting manipulatives as a media for teaching problem solving. Ten traits are considered: attitude, debilitating anxiety, self-concept, orderliness, set, confidence, impulsive/reflective thinking, concentration…
