Harris, Karen R.; Santangelo, Tanya; Graham, Steve – Instructional Science: An International Journal of the Learning Sciences, 2008
In this article, we present an argument for consideration by those researching and promoting new learning environments (NLEs). We believe advocates of NLEs should consider the literature and research base indicating effective instruction is not based on a forced dichotomy between theoretical perspectives, but rather a thoughtful, pragmatic…

Lederberg, Amy R.; Spencer, Patricia E. – Journal of Deaf Studies and Deaf Education, 2009
Deaf and hard-of-hearing (DHH) children's ability to rapidly learn novel words through direct reference and through novel mapping (i.e., inferring that a novel word refers to a novel object) was examined. Ninety-eight DHH children, ranging from 27 to 82 months old, drawn from 12 schools in five states participated. In two tasks that differed in…
