Cook, David A.; Thompson, Warren G.; Thomas, Kris G.; Thomas, Matthew R. – Advances in Health Sciences Education, 2009
Background: Adaptation to learning styles has been proposed to enhance learning. Objective: We hypothesized that learners with sensing learning style would perform better using a problem-first instructional method while intuitive learners would do better using an information-first method. Design: Randomized, controlled, crossover trial. Setting:…

The Method of Jean Louis Nicolet
Direct linkDirect link
Gattegno, Caleb – Mathematics Teaching Incorporating Micromath, 2007
Jean Louis Nicolet is a Swiss teacher of mathematics who found his subject so fascinating that he was puzzled as to why so many pupils could not share this enjoyment in their studies. He came to a conclusion which is now supported by the results of psychological research into the learning process: he suggested that the mind does not spontaneously…

Discovery Simulations and the Assessment of Intuitive Knowledge.
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
Swaak, Janine; de Jong, T. – Journal of Computer Assisted Learning, 2001
Examines relations between the features of discovery simulations, the learning processes elicited, the knowledge that results, and the methods used to measure the acquired knowledge. Discusses intuitive knowledge and describes a study of post-secondary students that investigated the instructional effectiveness of discovery simulations in physics.…
