The current paper provides insight into the learning strategies adopted by children working at Minimally Invasive Education (MIE) Learning Stations. Previous research has clearly indicated the attainment of basic computer literacy by groups of young children in the age groups of 7–14 years. This learning takes place due to the emergence and development of group social processes, an aspect crucial for achieving basic computing skills. The paper describes the process of socially shared understanding and learning as being crucial to individual learning. It is to be noted that this approach of socially shared learning does not challenge the analysis of the individual level of processing; it maintains that individual learning is vital in any learning context, but insufficient to build the psychology of learning. MIE research is of the view that young children learn through interaction with others, particularly peers as it provides an important context for social and cognitive learning. For it is in this way that children make sense of their own experience and environment. Hence, schools are not the only privileged sites of learning. 相似文献

Productive failure in mathematical problem solving 总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1
Manu Kapur 《Instructional Science》2010,38(6):523-550
This paper reports on a quasi-experimental study comparing a “productive failure” instructional design (Kapur in Cognition
and Instruction 26(3):379–424, 2008) with a traditional “lecture and practice” instructional design for a 2-week curricular unit on rate and speed. Seventy-five,
7th-grade mathematics students from a mainstream secondary school in Singapore participated in the study. Students experienced
either a traditional lecture and practice teaching cycle or a productive failure cycle, where they solved complex problems
in small groups without the provision of any support or scaffolds up until a consolidation lecture by their teacher during
the last lesson for the unit. Findings suggest that students from the productive failure condition produced a diversity of
linked problem representations and methods for solving the problems but were ultimately unsuccessful in their efforts, be
it in groups or individually. Expectedly, they reported low confidence in their solutions. Despite seemingly failing in their
collective and individual problem-solving efforts, students from the productive failure condition significantly outperformed
their counterparts from the lecture and practice condition on both well-structured and higher-order application problems on
the post-tests. After the post-test, they also demonstrated significantly better performance in using structured-response
scaffolds to solve problems on relative speed—a higher-level concept not even covered during instruction. Findings and implications
of productive failure for instructional design and future research are discussed. 相似文献

The goal of this paper is to isolate the preparatory effects of problem-generation from solution generation in problem-posing contexts, and their underlying mechanisms on learning from instruction. Using a randomized-controlled design, students were assigned to one of two conditions: (a) problem-posing with solution generation, where they generated problems and solutions to a novel situation, or (b) problem-posing without solution generation, where they generated only problems. All students then received instruction on a novel math concept. Findings revealed that problem-posing with solution generation prior to instruction resulted in significantly better conceptual knowledge, without any significant difference in procedural knowledge and transfer. Although solution generation prior to instruction plays a critical role in the development of conceptual understanding, which is necessary for transfer, generating problems plays an equally critical role in transfer. Implications for learning and instruction are discussed. 相似文献

The present study is an attempt at training a group of school teachers in counselling. The aims were to monitor and evaluate the training process so that effective ways of training can be evolved. The implications of the study and applicability of the methodology for similar other programmes elsewhere are discussed. 相似文献

We examine the research conducted by Kang, Anderson and Wu by discussing it in a larger context of science museum-school partnerships.
We review how the disconnect that exists between stakeholders, the historical and cultural contexts in which formal and informal
institutions are situated, and ideas of globalization, mediate the success for formal-informal partnerships to be created
and sustained. 相似文献

Using a sample of 908 eleventh grade science stream male and female students from similar socioeconomic area schools, variance based psychometric properties of three paper-and-pencil tests of logical thinking (Longeot test, Lawson's test TOFR, and Tobin and Capie's test TOLT) are investigated. A sub-sample of 212 students took the three tests in randomly allocated different sequential orders of presentation, while 696 students took only two tests. Alfa coefficients for each test separately and for the three tests combined together, concurrent validity coefficients, measures of item difficulty, item discrimination, item-criterion correlation, and 30-day stability coefficients are calculated. Considering the relative homogeneity of the sample, the reliability coefficients of the tests are judged satisfactory, but concurrent validity coefficients are quite low which implies incongruency in decisions made on the basis of the three tests. Need for estimating various psychometric parameters of alternative tests of logical thinking over different grade populations is emphasized. 相似文献

In this study, we examined whether gendered discourse styles were evidenced in online, synchronous, physics collaborative learning group discussions, and the extent to which such discourse patterns were related to the uptake of ideas within the group. We defined two discourse styles: the oppositional/direct style, theorized to be the socialized discourse pattern typically used by males, and the aligned/indirect style, theorized to be the socialized discourse pattern typically used by females. Our analysis indicates the presence of both styles in these chats and the styles were generally utilized along theorized, gendered lines. However, we also observed male use of the stereotypically ‘feminine' discourse style and female use of the stereotypically ‘masculine' discourse style. Moreover, we found no main effect for discourse style on the uptake of ideas. The findings indicate that, contrary to prior research in both face-to-face science classroom settings and online physics settings, ideas were taken up at relatively similar rates regardless of the gendered discourse style employed. Design implications of this study are discussed and suggestions for future research are made. 相似文献

Besides highlighting the uses and problems related to social networking, the paper reveals its impact on the linguistically and culturally rich India. It also describes some of the top Indian social networking sites and pinpoints some instances where people have used such sites to raise their voice against the bad elements harming their culture. 相似文献
