Zagallo, Patricia; Meddleton, Shanice; Bolger, Molly S. – CBE - Life Sciences Education, 2016
We present our design for a cell biology course to integrate content with scientific practices, specifically data interpretation and model-based reasoning. A 2-year research project within this course allowed us to understand how students interpret authentic biological data in this setting. Through analysis of written work, we measured the extent…

Tenison, Caitlin; Anderson, John R. – Journal of Experimental Psychology: Learning, Memory, and Cognition, 2016
A focus of early mathematics education is to build fluency through practice. Several models of skill acquisition have sought to explain the increase in fluency because of practice by modeling both the learning mechanisms driving this speedup and the changes in cognitive processes involved in executing the skill (such as transitioning from…

Stolovitch, Harold D. – Performance and Instruction, 1990
Explains a model that can be used for debriefing after a highly interactive training activity such as role playing or simulation games. Elements of the model include (1) general decompression; (2) factual information from the activity; (3) inferences; (4) transfer, i.e., from the activity to real world situations; (5) generalizations; and (6)…
