Direct linkHong, Huang-Yao; Lin-Siegler, Xiaodong – Journal of Educational Psychology, 2012
How does learning about scientists' struggles during their scientific knowledge building affect students' science learning? Two hundred and seventy-one high school students were randomly assigned to 1 of 3 conditions: (a) the struggle-oriented background information (n = 90) condition, which presented students with stories about 3 scientists'…

This conceptual paper aims to clarify the theoretical underpinnings of game based learning (GBL) and learning with digital learning games (DLGs). To do so, it analyses learning of game related skills and contents, which occurs constantly during playing conventional entertainment games, from three perspectives: learning theory, emotion theory, and…

Mino-Garces, Fernando – International Journal of English Studies, 2009
As language learning theory has shifted from a highly guided to a more open learning process, this paper presents the teaching/learning philosophy called Learning for Life (L for L) as a great way to motivate native Spanish speaker students learning English as a foreign language, and to help them be the constructors of their own knowledge. The…

Children in the response-cost condition required more trials to reach a performance criterion and exhibited longer response times than children receiving reinforcement only. Response cost appeared to produce a negative effect that interfered with problem solving ability. (Author/RL)

Scandura, Joseph M. – 1971
This report contains four papers describing research based on the view of mathematical knowledge as a hierarchy of "rules." The first paper: "The Role of Rules in Behavior" was abstracted in ED 040 036 (October 1970). The second paper: "A Theory of Mathematical Knowledge" defends the thesis that rules are the basic building blocks of mathematical…

Peer reviewedShoenfeld, Alan H. – For the Learning of Mathematics, 1996
Discusses the similarities in learning outcomes from two very different environments: a research group and a problem-solving course. Provides examples that characterize the two environments and that point to similarities in outcomes. Speculates about why such similarities exist. (DDR)

Peer reviewedBrenenstuhl, Daniel C. – Simulation and Games, 1975
This study examined the differences in student performance in two sections of a college management course--one of which used simulation as an adjunct aid, the other of which did not. (CD)

Keller, John M. – 1975
Despite the support for the proposition that learning is enhanced by the reinforcement of correct responses, there remain learners who continue to fail when contingent reinforcement is administered, even though they may have the ability and be motivated to succeed. This condition, known as learned helplessness, presents a problem for instructional…

Elen, Jan, Ed.; Clark, Richard, Ed. – Elsevier, 2006
What is meant when people say that "learning environments are increasingly complex"? What is known about the cognitive processing that occurs during complex learning? How can educators provide effective instructional support for students who must learn and apply complex knowledge? These questions, and related issues, have fascinated educators and…

Meyers, Chet – 1986
The teaching of critical thinking is discussed, based on the view that methods of teaching critical thinking vary from discipline to discipline. After covering basic concepts related to teaching critical thinking, a framework to examine the process of critical thinking is presented, based on cognitive science and developmental theory, especially…

SKINNER, B.F. – 1968
TEACHING AS A TECHNOLOGY IS THE ARRANGEMENT OF CONTINGENCIES OF REINFORCEMENT UNDER WHICH BEHAVIOR CHANGES. RECENT ADVANCES IN TECHNIQUES OF BEHAVIOR CONTROL HAVE MADE SUCH A TECHNOLOGY IMMANENT, BUT THERE IS A SHOCKING LACK OF APPLICATION OF THESE TECHNIQUES. INSTEAD, TEACHING CONTINUES TO RELY HEAVILY ON AVERSIVE CONTROL FOR MOTIVATION AND TO…
