Direct linkKuruganti, Usha; Needham, Ted; Zundel, Pierre – Canadian Journal for the Scholarship of Teaching and Learning, 2012
The concept of "practice makes perfect" was examined in this work in the context of effective learning. Specifically, we wanted to know how much practice was needed for students to demonstrate mastery of learning outcomes. Student learning patterns in two different university courses that use a similar education approach involving…

Swann, Joanna – Educational Philosophy and Theory, 2009
This paper draws on the philosophy of Karl Popper to present a descriptive evolutionary epistemology that offers philosophical solutions to the following related problems: "What happens when learning takes place?" and "What happens in human learning?" It provides a detailed analysis of how learning takes place without any direct transfer of…

Peer reviewedGreeno, James G. – American Psychologist, 1980
Discusses (1) neobehaviorist theory and analysis of response probability, (2) discrete models of qualitative changes in knowledge and stages of processing, and (3) programmed simulations of the detailed structure of knowledge and cognitive processes. Comments on the prospects for developing significant new understandings of learning during the…

Smith, Charlotte Ethel Oliver – 1971
A technique for investigating and quantifying problem solving mediating processes was developed; the question of whether this technique could be used to detect different approaches to problem solving among groups of subjects when measured over a time interval was studied. Results showed that processing modes differed as to professional interest…

Fisher, Nancy Capozzolo – 1972
An aspect of problem solving ability was identified by the investigator as "mathelation" and was defined to be the ability to translate and to fit idealized real-world problem situations into appropriate mathematical expressions or models. The study involved three phases: (1) the construction and validation of an instrument to measure mathelation;…

Goldin, Gerald A.; Luger, George F. – 1973
A theory that there is a correspondence between Piagetian conservation operations and groups of symmetry transformations, and that these symmetry transformations may be used in explaining human problem solving behaviors, is developed in this paper. Current research in artificial intelligence is briefly reviewed, then details of the symmetry…

Renner, John W. – 1977
The author argues that the input-output model of learning is inadequate for those who believe education is to produce persons who can solve problems in a particular area. He suggests that the act of learning be examined rather than the products of an educational experience. Piaget's mental-structures model of learning is then discussed along with…

Apprentissage d'une structure operatoire formelle (The Experience of an Explict Operative Structure)
Peer reviewedFerreira da Silva, Jose – Scientia Paedagogica Experimentalis, 1971
The theme of the article was to show how children acquire logical structures. Following up these studies on logical structure, another study attempted to ascertain if skills could be learned at times other than when spontaneously acquired. The results showed that the children need help in solving the problems posed. Another method of heuristic…

BLAKE, KATHRYN A.; AND OTHERS – 1964
A SERIES OF RESEARCH PROGRAMS CONCERNED WITH THE EFFECTS OF SYSTEMATIC VARIATIONS OF CERTAIN CONDITIONS RELATED TO LEARNING HAS BEEN CONDUCTED. PROJECTS PREVIOUSLY REPORTED INCLUDED TWO INVESTIGATIONS OF REINFORCEMENT AND SUBJECT VARIABLES AND ONE ON THE STUDY OF PRACTICE AND SUBJECT VARIABLES. THE NATURE OF THE OVERALL PROGRAM WAS DISCUSSED IN…

Scandura, Joseph M. – 1973
Most current information processing theories of cognition and memory share one common feature: the structure (state-space) of memory is fixed and retrieval from memory involves searching through that structure. Learning, where it is treated at all, involves transforming one such structure into another. This form of representation is questioned and…

Osborne, Alan R., Ed.; Bradbard, David A., Ed. – 1976
The general purposes of a model are discussed, then seven papers are presented which demonstrate several different facets of the problems associated with constructing and using models of mathematics learning. In the first paper, the task addressed concerns how to incorporate developmental psychology into perceptions of what is happening in the…

Stern, Carolyn – 1968
This comprehensive bibliography on problem solving and concept formation includes books, papers, journal articles, reviews of literature, projects, unpublished manuscripts, reports, research bulletins, dissertations, and related bibliographies dating from 1924-1967. Special annotations are made of materials on problem solving with young children.…

Resnick, Lauren B., Ed. – 1971
This monograph reports the proceedings of a symposium that considered issues in the use of learning hierarchies in both psychological and educational research. The opening paper presents a brief overview of research on learning hierarchies. Issues considered include the use of behavior analysis as a basis for generating hierarchies, the extent to…
