Learning Research and Development Center. SPONS AGENCY Office of Naval Research, Arlington, Va. Personnel and Training Research Programs Office. PUB DATE 13 Jul 88 CONTRACT N00014-84-K-0542 NOTE 56p.; Drawings may not reproduce well. PUB TYPE Reports Research/Technical (143) EDRS PRICE MF°1/PC03 Plus Postage. DESCRIPTORS *Cognitive Style; *Concept Formation; Educational Research; *Learning Strategies; Logical Thinking; *Mechanics (Physics); *Problem Solving; Schemata (Cognition); Science Education; Secondary Education; Secondary School Science ABSTRACT One approach to the study of problem solving is to observe how people with different skills (novices and experts) solve problems by collecting and analyzing protocols and formulating models to obtain solution processes. Individual differences are subsequently explained by the differences in the knowledge possessed, as embodied by the sets of production rules or programs. The intention of the models was to derive the knowledge of the skilled solver from the knowledge of the unskilled solver. Inferences about the transition have not been straightforward. An alternative approach is to determine what students acquire from studying, to represent the knowledge underlying the generation of the solution procedures for the skilled and less skilled students. This paper summarizes a stuciy of: (1) how students learn to solve simple mechanics problems; (2) what is learned when they study worked-out examples in the text; and (3) how they use what has been learned from the examples while solving problems.

  • Celebrating 50 Years of LRDC (PDF)
    UNIVERSITY OF PITTSBURGH Celebrating 50 Years of LRDC This report was published in 2014 by the University of Pittsburgh Learning Research and Development Center. THIS REPORT CELEBRATES THE UNIVERSITY OF PITTSBURGH LEARNING RESEARCH AND DEVELOPMENT CENTER’S (LRDC) 50 YEARS AS A LEADING INTERDISCIPLINARY CENTER FOR RESEARCH ON LEARNING AND EDUCATION. IT PROVIDES GLIMPSES OF LRDC OVER THE YEARS AND HIGHLIGHTS SOME OF THE EXCITING WORK THAT OCCUPIES OUR CURRENT RESEARCH AND DEVELOPMENT AGENDA. The Center’s interconnected programs of research and development have reflected its mission of stimulating interaction between research and practice across a broad spectrum of problems, from the neural basis of learning to the development of intelligent tutors to educational policy. Among research institutions in learning and education, this interconnected breadth is unique. The Center’s research has been equally wide-ranging in the domains of learning it has studied. Reading, mathematics, and science—staples of education—have been a continuing focus over much of LRDC’s 50 years. However, the Center also has addressed less-studied learning domains (e.g., history, geography, avionics, and law) as well as the reasoning and intellectual abilities that serve learning across domains. Moreover, social settings for learning, including those outside schools; teaching effectiveness; and technol- ogy for learning are all part of LRDC’s research story. LRDC’s ability to sustain research programs across these diverse, intersecting problems owes much to the cooperation of its partnering schools and depart- ments in the University. The leadership of the University of Pittsburgh has made possible what is often very difficult: a research center that has been able to effectively pursue truly cross-disciplinary research programs.

Copyright c 2016 Miaomiao Wen August 30, 2016 DRAFT Keywords: Massive Open Online Course, MOOC, virtual team, transactivity, online learning August 30, 2016 DRAFT Abstract August 30, 2016 DRAFT To help learners foster the competencies of collaboration and communication in practice, there has been interest in incorporating a collaborative team-based learning component in Massive Open Online Courses (MOOCs) ever since the beginning. Most researchers agree that simply placing students in small groups does not guar- antee that learning will occur. In previous work, team formation in MOOCs occurs through personal messaging early in a course and is typically based on scant learner profiles, e.g. demographics and prior knowledge. Since MOOC students have di- verse background and motivation, there has been limited success in the self-selected or randomly assigned MOOC teams. Being part of an ineffective or dysfunctional team may well be inferior to independent study in promoting learning and can lead to frustration. This dissertation studies how to coordinate team based learning in MOOCs with a learning science concept, namely Transactivity. A transactivite dis- cussion is one where participants elaborate, build upon, question or argue against previously presented ideas [20].

    National Center for Education Research Publication Handbook Publications from funded education research grants FY 2002 to FY 2013 November 2013 Since its inception in 2002, the National Center for Education Research (NCER) in the Institute of Education Sciences (IES) has funded over 700 education research grants and over 60 education training grants. The research grants have supported have supported exploratory research to build theory or generate hypotheses on factors that may affect educational outcomes, development and innovation research to create or refine academic interventions, evaluation studies to test the efficacy and effectiveness of interventions, and measurement work to help develop more accurate and valid assessments, and the training grants have helped prepare the next generation of education researchers. NCER‘s education research grantees have focused on the needs of a wide range of students, from pre- kindergarten through postsecondary and adult education, and have tackled a variety of topic areas. The portfolio of research includes cognition, social and behavioral research, math, science, reading, writing, school systems and policies, teacher quality, statistical and research methods, just to name a few. Each year, our grantees are contributing to the wealth of knowledge across disciplines. What follows is a listing of the publications that these grants have contributed along with a full listing of all the projects funded through NCER‘s education research grant programs from 2002 to 2013. The publications are presented according to the topic area and arranged by the year that the grant was awarded. Where applicable, we have noted related grant projects and project websites and have provided links to publications that are listed in the IES ERIC database.
