Sinitsa, Katherine; Manako, Alla – Educational Technology, 1999
Discusses dictionaries in digital form and describes a new type of structured, interactive hyper-dictionary that connects user learning activities with corresponding queries that express information wishes. Topics include dictionaries as knowledge acquisition support tools; searching; browsing; self-assessment though knowledge representation; and…

Norton, M. Jay – Library Trends, 1999
Knowledge discovery in databases (KDD) revolves around the investigation and creation of knowledge, processes, algorithms, and mechanisms for retrieving knowledge from data collections. The article is an introductory overview of KDD. The rationale and environment of its development and applications are discussed. Issues related to database design…

Buncick, M. C.; Betts, P. G.; Horgan, D. D. – International Journal of Science Education, 2001
Presents a series of standard demonstrations as examples of activities that can be used to introduce multiple concepts and tie different sections of an introductory physics course together. Contributes to changes in classroom dynamics by stimulating student engagement and encouraging inclusivity. (Contains 23 references.) (DDR)

Abrams, Eleanor; Southerland, Sherry; Cummins, Catherine – International Journal of Science Education, 2001
Describes trends in students' explanations of biological change in organisms. Student responses to questions on how graphically depicted phenomena occur were analyzed and most students were unable to offer causal explanations. (Contains 27 references.) (DDR)

Garbarini, Francesca; Adenzato, Mauro – Brain and Cognition, 2004
Recent experimental research in the field of neurophysiology has led to the discovery of two classes of visuomotor neurons: canonical neurons and mirror neurons. In light of these studies, we propose here an overview of two classical themes in the cognitive science panorama: James Gibson's theory of affordances and Eleanor Rosch's principles of…

Weems, Scott A.; Reggia, James A. – Brain and Language, 2004
Two findings serve as the hallmark for hemispheric specialization during lateralized lexical decision. First is an overall word advantage, with words being recognized more quickly and accurately than non-words (the effect being stronger in response latency). Second, a right visual field advantage is observed for words, with little or no…

Mcnamara, Danielle S.; Shapiro, Amy M. – Journal of Educational Computing Research, 2005
Users of educational hypertext are faced with the challenge of creating meaning both within and between texts. Cohesion is an important factor contributing to whether a reader is able to capture meaning and comprehend text. When readers are required to fill in conceptual gaps in text, comprehension can fail if they do not have sufficient…

Hodges, Donald A. – International Journal of Music Education, 2005
Cognitive neuroscience is identifying neural networks in the brain that support multiple ways of knowing. This notion is also supported by evidence from psychology, anthropology, sociology, and other related disciplines. These human knowledge systems provide a means for sharing, expressing, understanding, knowing, and gaining insights into one's…

Okado, Yoko; Stark, Craig E. L. – Learning & Memory, 2005
False memories are often demonstrated using the misinformation paradigm, in which a person's recollection of a witnessed event is altered after exposure to misinformation about the event. The neural basis of this phenomenon, however, remains unknown. The authors used fMRI to investigate encoding processes during the viewing of an event and…

Henderson, Kelly – 1997
This paper describes an instructional method designed to increase opportunities for students to learn and practice appropriate social skills. The strategies for development and implementation of such structured programs of nature-based and animal-based activities are based in part on a pilot program in three urban elementary and middle schools.…

Sheehan, Joseph; Tessmer, Martin – 1997
A mental model is a knowledge structure composed of concepts and the relations between them. Mental models are distinct from declarative and procedural knowledge--they go beyond semantic relationships and skills acquisition and contain varied intellectual skills and knowledge. This study describes an initial investigation into the construct…

American Association for the Advancement of Science, Washington, DC. – 1995
This document is a summary of "Benchmarks for Science Literacy", which is a supporting document of "Science for All Americans" published by the American Association for Advancement of Science (AAAS) as part of Project 2061. "Benchmarks for Science Literacy" consists primarily of statements regarding what all students…

Blanton, Maria L.; Kaput, James J. – International Group for the Psychology of Mathematics Education, 2004
This is a study of how urban elementary grades students develop and express functions. Data were analyzed according to the forms of representations students used, the progression in students' mathematical language and the operations they employed, and how they attended to one or more varying quantities. Findings indicate that students are capable…

Tunnicliffe, Sue Dale; Reiss, Michael J. – 1998
In order to name an animal they see, children must use their existing mental models to provide the animal with a name. In this study, pupils between the ages of 4 and 14 are presented with preserved specimens of 6 different animals and asked a series of questions about them. The results indicate that pupils of all ages mainly recognize and use…
