López-Íñiguez, Guadalupe; Pozo, Juan Ignacio – Cognition and Instruction, 2014
While many studies have considered the association between teachers' and students' conceptions of teaching and learning and classroom practices, few studies have researched the influence of teachers' conceptions on students' conceptions. Our objective was to analyze the influence of music teachers' conceptions on student…

Steffe, Leslie P. – Cognition and Instruction, 2011
In this article, the author wishes to emphasize two fundamental points related to theory that were significantly underplayed in Simon et al.'s "A Developing Approach to Studying Students' Learning through Their Mathematical Activity" (2010). The author believes these points are central to any study of children's mathematical learning. The first…

Training in Self-Explanation and Self-Regulation Strategies: Investigating the Effects of Knowledge Acquisition Activities on Problem Solving.
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
Bielaczyc, Katerine; And Others – Cognition and Instruction, 1995
Presents ongoing research for constructing formal models of learning in rich problem-solving domains. The underlying framework for the research is aimed at integrating models of active, goal-oriented learning processes with theories of problem-solving and cognitive skill development. Indicates that the particular self-explanation and…

Learning Strategies and Transfer in the Domain of Programming.
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
Pirolli, Peter; Recker, Margaret – Cognition and Instruction, 1994
Two experiments involved an intelligent tutoring system for the Carnegie Mellon University Lisp Tutor using production system theories of transfer and analogical problem solving. Results suggested that acquisition of cognitive skills is facilitated by high degrees of metacognition, which includes higher level monitoring of states of knowledge,…

Why Some Material Is Difficult to Learn.
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
Sweller, John; Chandler, Paul – Cognition and Instruction, 1994
Four experiments supported the hypothesis that, when learning to use equipment such as computers, if the material to be learned has an intrinsically high degree of interaction between elements, then learning might be facilitated by not having the equipment present. Thus, an analysis of intrinsic and extraneous cognitive load can lead to…
