Direct linkLunn, Stephen – Primary Science Review, 2006
"Real" science is about formulating and trying to solve practical and conceptual problems on the basis of shared beliefs about the world. Scientists build theories and test hypotheses by observation and experiment. They try their best to eliminate personal bias, and are "extremely canny in their acceptance of the claims of others" (Ziman, 2000).…

Heller, Jurgen; Steiner, Christina; Hockemeyer, Cord; Albert, Dietrich – International Journal on E-Learning, 2006
Competence-based extensions of Knowledge Space Theory are suggested as a formal framework for implementing key features of personalised learning in technology-enhanced learning. The approach links learning objects and assessment problems to the relevant skills that are taught or required. Various ways to derive these skills from domain ontologies…

Johnston, Dale – Research in Dance Education, 2006
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,…

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…

This study sought to identify and compare the characteristics of the social pedagogic context of cognitive activities in a sample of early education settings in six European countries (England, Finland, Greece, Italy, Spain and Sweden). Previous research concerning the social context within which cognitive/learning activities take place has…

Garb, Yaakov; And Others – 1985
This study describes efforts to apply principles of systematic knowledge representation (concept mapping and computer-based semantic networking techniques) to the domain of ecology. A set of 24 relationships and modifiers is presented that seem sufficient for describing all ecological relationships discussed in an introductory course. Many of…

Concept mapping, a technique of graphically representing concepts and their relationship, was used to assess changes in the structural knowledge of prospective teachers at three levels of a teacher education program. The concept "teacher planning" was mapped at the beginning and end of the semester by 49 students in introductory, intermediate, and…

Peer reviewedLehman, James D.; And Others – Journal of Research in Science Teaching, 1985
Presents and discusses results of a project that studied the effectiveness of concept and Vee mapping strategies in helping Black inner-city high school students (N=250) learn biology concepts meaningfully. The project sought to assess effects on achievement of the two methods as part of a carefully designed sequence of instruction. (Author/JN)

Peer reviewedAlpert, Sherman R. – Journal of Interactive Learning Research, 2003
Describes a computer-based concept mapping tool that provides rich representational capabilities, including dynamic imagery (video, animated images, sound) and multiple levels of abstraction. The tool can automatically translate a concept map into an alternative representation-an outline-that contains all of the knowledge contained in a…

Peer reviewedCampbell, Aimee L.; Namy, Laura L. – Child Development, 2003
Examined role of social-referential context in 13- and 18- month-olds' mapping of verbal and nonverbal symbols to object categories. Found that infants at both ages showed evidence of learning both words and sounds when the experimenter produced a label within a familiar naming routine, and failed to learn when labels were emitted from a baby…

Peer reviewedBeall, Herbert; Prescott, Sarah – Journal of Chemical Education, 1994
Conceptual understanding of chemistry is an important issue in chemistry education. Examination questions with word answers are one way of reinforcing and testing conceptual knowledge and should be included in chemistry courses. Students involved in this study felt they did better on numerical questions and poorer on conceptual questions than they…

Concept Mapping as a Medium of Shared Cognition in Computer-Supported Collaborative Problem Solving.
Peer reviewedStoyanova, Neli; Kommers, Piet – Journal of Interactive Learning Research, 2002
Presents an experimental study conducted at the University of Twente (Netherlands) that investigated the learning effectiveness of concept mapping for computer-supported collaborative problem solving. Highlights include group interaction; shared cognition; knowledge acquisition; learning effectiveness; retention; creativity; and distributed…
