Direct linkSchrader, P. G.; Lawless, Kimberly A. – Performance Improvement, 2004
Research has shown that knowledge instruction alone is a poor agent for influencing changes in behavior (Bruvold, 1990; Morrison et al., 1994; Valente et al., 1998). Successful outcomes of interventions in education and performance improvement involve more than knowledge gains. Furthermore, a growing body of researchers from different areas have…

Authoritarian teaching practices in ballet inhibit the use of private speech. This paper highlights the critical importance of private speech in the cognitive development of young ballet students, within what is largely a non-verbal art form. It draws upon research by Russian psychologist Lev Vygotsky and contemporary socioculturalists, to…

Zumbach, Joerg – Journal of Educational Multimedia and Hypermedia, 2006
In hypertext learning, comparative research is mostly dedicated to differences in text-hypertext information retrieval and processing and to optimization of nonlinear information retrieval. Most of these investigations are conducted within the context of applied research. The theoretical background of information acquisition from linear and…

Maloney, Jane; Simon, Shirley – International Journal of Science Education, 2006
The research reported in this paper concerns the development of children's skills of interpreting and evaluating evidence in science. Previous studies have shown that school teaching often places limited emphasis on the development of these skills, which are necessary for children to engage in scientific debate and decision-making. The research,…

Keraro, Fred Nyabuti; Wachanga, Samuel W.; Orora, William – International Journal of Science and Mathematics Education, 2007
This study investigated the effects of using the cooperative concept mapping (CCM) teaching approach on secondary school students' motivation in biology. A non equivalent control group design under the quasi-experimental research was used in which a random sample of four co-educational secondary schools was used. The four schools were randomly…

Nespor, Jan – British Journal of Sociology of Education, 2007
This paper examines the organization and representation of time in certain kinds of undergraduate programs, here represented by a sociology program in a US university. Written requirements for the major are analyzed as constituting a "chart" that defines academic time in terms of units of before-after relationships. The paper shows how students…

Brown, C. L.; Czerniewicz, L. – South African Journal of Higher Education, 2007
Research from a survey of students in higher education institutions in the Western Cape has demonstrated that despite the difficulties being experienced in terms of access to Information and Communication Technologies (ICTs) in higher education, students report that they do indeed use computers for their learning. In this paper we explore the…

Technological Intersubjectivity and Appropriation of Affordances in Computer Supported Collaboration
Ravi K. Vatrapu – ProQuest LLC, 2007
This dissertation investigates two specific research questions related to the effects of culture on "appropriation of affordances" and on "technological intersubjectivity." "Sociotechnical affordances" are conceptualized as action-taking possibilities and meaning making opportunities in a socio-technical system…

Mintzes, Joel; Quinn, Heather J. – International Journal of Science and Mathematics Education, 2007
Emerging from a human constructivist view of learning and a punctuated model of conceptual change, these studies explored differences in the structural complexity and content validity of knowledge about prehistoric life depicted in concept maps by learners ranging in age from approximately 10 to 20 years. Study 1 (cross-age) explored the…
