Adapting prior knowledge activation: Mobilisation, perspective taking, and learners' prior knowledge
This study investigates the effects of two prior knowledge activation strategies, namely, mobilisation and perspective taking, on learning. It is hypothesised that the effectiveness of these strategies is influenced by learners’ prior domain knowledge. More specifically, mobilisation is expected to be the most effective activation strategy at lower levels of prior knowledge. Mobilisation is a b...
متن کاملAdapting to Prior Knowledge of Learners
Prior knowledge is an important factor that influences the interaction with a hypertext and the learning gain. Our authoring system NetCoach provides a way to assess the users’ prior knowledge and to adapt the course in different ways. We describe how the adaptation mechanism assesses the user’s knowledge with test items, infers the user’s current learning state from this information, and final...
متن کاملNovice and Expert Teachers’ Conceptions of Learners’ Prior Knowledge
This study presents comparative case studies of preservice and first-year teachers’ and expert teachers’ conceptions of the concept of prior knowledge. Kelly’s (The Psychology of Personal Construct, New York: W.W. Norton, 1955) theory of personal constructs as discussed by Akerson, Flick, and Lederman (Journal of Research in Science Teaching, 2000, 37, 363–385) in relationship to prior knowledg...
متن کاملInterest and Prior Knowledge
This paper selectively reviews research on the relationship between topic interest and prior knowledge, and discusses the optimal association between these variables. The paper points out that interest has a facilitating impact on learning, and at least part of this effect must be ascribed to prior knowledge. While the interest-knowledge association may account for about 20 percent of the varia...
متن کاملPreparing learners with partly incorrect intuitive prior knowledge for learning
Learners sometimes have incoherent and fragmented intuitive prior knowledge that is (partly) "incompatible" with the to-be-learned contents. Such knowledge in pieces can cause conceptual disorientation and cognitive overload while learning. We hypothesized that a pre-training intervention providing a generalized schema as a structuring framework for such knowledge in pieces would support (re)or...
