An introduction notes the role of research in identifying new goals for higher education and offers a conceptual framework based on a student mediata_ln model and a focus on the process-product relationships between faculty teacher behavior and student outcomes. Individual sections then review the research in terms of: (1) student entry characteristics (intelligence, motivation and personality, and cognitive styles); (2) student cognition (knowledge structure, learning strategies, and thinking and problem solving);(3) student motivation (description of the expectancy path, description of the task-value path, antecedents of motivational constructs, interventions for motivation, and assessment); (4) instructional method (peer learning and teaching, the case method, lecture, class size, independent study, researchon leaning from reading, programmed instruction and Keller's Personalized System of Instruction, testing, and teaching methods); (5) academic tasks and activities;(6) attribute-treatment interactions; and (7) what effective teachers do. Tables and figures are included. Contains approximately 500 references.

Not teaching methods that have previously been unknown. Not the best method of teaching. Not a magic elixir for motivating reluctant students. One should notexpect to find broad generalizations that could not be found in the writing of Comenius. Dewey, WilliamJames, or other thoughtful students of education. Excellent teachers fitno single mold: they appear in all historical periods, in various cultures, and at all levels andareas of higher education. What. then, can research contribute? One possibility is a more precise determination of the limits of generalizations; a second is disproof of faulty maxims; a third is a better understanding of how and why successful teaching strategies work. But research also has implications for teaching in a way that is less obvious; it affects conceptions of the goals of teaching. What we choose as goals depends upon our understanding of learning and of what teaching can produce. Thus a review of research on teaching cannot ignore broader trends in basic research. A. New Goals for Higher Education Advances in tl. eoretical conceptions of cognition and motivation should make a difference in the ways wu think about the objectives of undergraduate instruction. For example, colkge faculty members have traditionally placed heavy emphasis on the goal of ccznmu- nicating knowledge. But we now know that knowledge of facts and principles involves much more than memorization of isolated concepts. definitions. and fact& As Marton and Saljo (1976a). Dahlgren (1984) and other Gothenburg researchers have demonstrated, thereare significant qualitative differences in students' understanding of reading assignments. Today cognitive psychologists emphasize the importance of conceptual structures within which facts and principles are organized.If students are to use their knowledge after completing their course examinations, they need to have elaborated the facts and principles in ways that organize the knowledge meaningfully. Why is meaningful organization so important? Theanswer lies in a superordinate goal: Students should continue to learn and to use their learning inmore effective problem solving for the rest of their lives. When one takes life-long learning and thinkingas a major goal of education. knowledge becomes a means rather than an end, and other formerly implicit goals become more explicit. Surely one of the most iniportrut determinants of continued learning is interest in behavior and experience. A course that dulls the students' curiosity and interest must be a failure no matter how solid the content. Just as we implicitly teach motivation for continued learning, we also implicitly teach certain cognitive skills and strategies.We lecture, give reading assignments, lead discussions, require papers and laboratory projects, canny out fieldwork. and give tests all with the goal of influ student learning. The kinds of assignments. tests, and classroom activties we use imp or explicitly affect the strategies and skills for learning that students

  • Compare and Contrast Two Models Or Theories of One Cognitive Process with Reference to Research Studies
    ! The following sample is for the learning objective: Compare and contrast two models or theories of one cognitive process with reference to research studies. What is the question asking for? * A clear outline of two models of one cognitive process. The cognitive process may be memory, perception, decision-making, language or thinking. * Research is used to support the models as described. The research does not need to be outlined in a lot of detail, but underatanding of the role of research in supporting the models should be apparent.. * Both similarities and differences of the two models should be clearly outlined. Sample response The theory of memory is studied scientifically and several models have been developed to help The cognitive process describe and potentially explain how memory works. Two models that attempt to describe how (memory) and two models are memory works are the Multi-Store Model of Memory, developed by Atkinson & Shiffrin (1968), clearly identified. and the Working Memory Model of Memory, developed by Baddeley & Hitch (1974). The Multi-store model model explains that all memory is taken in through our senses; this is called sensory input. This information is enters our sensory memory, where if it is attended to, it will pass to short-term memory. If not attention is paid to it, it is displaced. Short-term memory Research. is limited in duration and capacity. According to Miller, STM can hold only 7 plus or minus 2 pieces of information. Short-term memory memory lasts for six to twelve seconds. When information in the short-term memory is rehearsed, it enters the long-term memory store in a process called “encoding.” When we recall information, it is retrieved from LTM and moved A satisfactory description of back into STM.

  • Big Mouth Photograph by Andrew Owen, American Festivals Project
    Big Mouth Photograph by Andrew Owen, American Festivals Project Once a year, Pauls Valley, Oklahoma, is home to the Okie Noodling Tournament, a 24- hour race to bring in the biggest catch using an unusual—and sometimes dangerous— technique. Unlike traditional anglers, noodlers forego the rod and reel and take on massive catfish with their hands, pulling them from holes by their toothless mouths.The American Festivals Project was on the scene to capture the action in 2009. Champion “noodler,” or handfisher, Lee McFarlin holds a giant flathead catfish he caught using his hand as bait. “Everybody tells me I’m the guru of noodling,” McFarlin says. “Until you can control that fish, he will whip your butt every time.” McFarlin chalks up his wins to practice and technique. From May until July, McFarlin noodles two or three times during the week and all weekend, routinely snagging his limit of three fish. Handfishers, or “noodlers,” Cristi Snyder, Fostana Jenkins, and Betsy Dougherty search for flathead catfish, a species found in waterways in the South and Midwest U.S. Handfishers probe and prod for the holes where the fish lurk during breeding season. They then dive down and reach into the underwater lairs, hoping that a monster “cat” will take the proffered bai the noodler’s hand. Handfisher, or “nooder,” Ann Tittle holds a giant flathead catfish. To avoid drowning or other accidents, noodlers recommend fishing in teams.

  • Cognition, Affect, and Learning —The Role of Emotions in Learning
    How People Learn: Cognition, Affect, and Learning —The Role of Emotions in Learning Barry Kort Ph.D. and Robert Reilly Ed.D. {kort, reilly}@media.mit.edu formerly MIT Media Lab Draft as of date January 2, 2019 Learning is the quintessential emotional experience. Our species, Homo Sapiens, are the beings who think. We are also the beings who learn, and the beings who simultaneously experience a rich spectrum of affective emotional states, including a selected suite of emotional states specifically and directly related to learning. This proposal reviews previously published research and theoretical models relating emotions to learning and cognition and presents ideas and proposals for extending that research and reducing it to practice. Our perspective The concept of affect in learning (i.e., emotions in learning) is the same pedagogy applied by an athletic coach at a sporting event. A coach recognizes the affective state of an athlete, and, for example, exhorts that athlete toward increased performance (e.g., raises the level of enthusiasm), or, redirects a frustrated athlete to a productive affective state (e.g., instills confidence, or pride). A coach recognizes that an athlete’s affective state is a critical factor during performance; and, when appropriate, a coach will intervene with a meaningful strategy or tactic. Athletic coaches are skilled at recognizing affective states and intervening appropriately. Educators can have the same impact on a learner by understanding a learner’s affective state and intervening with appropriate strategies or tactics that will meaningfully manage and guide a person’s learning journey. There are several learning theories and a great deal of neuroscience/affective research.

  • Cognitive Retention of Generation Y Students Through the Use of Games
    11 COGNITNE RETENTION OF GENERATION Y STUDENTS THROUGH THE USE OF GAMES AND SIMULATIONS A Dissertation Submitted to the Faculty of Argosy University - Sarasota In partial fulfillment of The requirements for the degree of Doctorate of Business Administration Accounting Major by Melanie A. Hicks Argosy University - Sarasota August 2007 Reproduced with permission of the copyright owner. Further reproduction prohibited without permission. III Abstract A new generation of students has begun to proliferate colleges and universities. Unlike previous generations, Generation Y students have been exposed to a variety of technological advancements, have different behaviors towards learning, and have been raised in a different environment. These differences may be causing conflict with traditional pedagogy in educational institutions, thereby creating, while it may be unintentional, an inability for Generation Y students to learn under the standard educational method of lecture presented to previous generations. The literature supports the position that additional teaching methods are needed in order to effectively educate Generation Y students (Prensky, 2001; Brozik & Zapalska, 1999; Albrecht, 1995). Consequently, the primary goal of this dissertation is to examine the ability of Generation Y students to achieve greater cognitive retention when the instructional material is conveyed with the assistance of or through the use of games andlor simulations.

Introduction 2. Points of Agreement 3. The Co-Cognition Thesis and a Friendly Amendment 4. A Critique of the Co-Cognition Thesis 1. Introduction In cognitive science and philosophy of mind, there has been a wealth of fascinating work trying to tease out the cognitive mechanisms that are involved in understanding other minds or "mindreading" (e.g., Baron-Cohen, 1995; Bartsch & Wellman, 1995; Fodor, 1995; Goldman, 1992; Gopnik, 1993; Harris, 1991; Leslie, 1991; Perner, 1991). This research has focused on evaluating the empirical evidence for various accounts of mindreading, predicting the results of future experiments, and carrying out experiments that might distinguish between the available theories. Our own previous work adopted this naturalistic approach (Stich & Nichols, 1992, 1995, 1997; Nichols et al., 1996; Nichols et al., 1995). In contrast to the naturalistic exploration of mindreading, Jane Heal has argued that simulation theorists have discovered an a priori truth about mindreading (Heal, 1994, 1995). In Heal's most recent paper (this issue), which is largely a response to an earlier paper of ours (Stich & Nichols, 1997), she maintains that we are committed to a view that conflicts with a simulationist thesis which is a priori true.
