Outcomes and Mechanisms of Transfer in Invention Activities
Invention activities are structured tasks in which students create mathematical methods that attempt to capture deep properties of data (e.g., variability), prior to receiving instruction on canonical methods (e.g., mean deviation). While experiments have demonstrated the learning benefits of invention activities, the mechanisms of transfer remain unknown. We address this question by evaluating...
متن کاملHow cognition shapes cognitive evolution
The tools we use shape the way we construct our world. When cognitive scientists began to model the evolution of cognition, one tool they found readily available was the genetic algorithm--a software system for artificially evolving solutions to problems that were specified by an explicit fitness function [1]. This fixed fitness function took a potential solution as input, and returned the good...
متن کاملHow well does teacher talk support incidental vocabulary acquisition?
Opportunities for incidental vocabulary acquisition were explored in a 121,000-word corpus of teacher talk addressed to advanced adult learners of English as a second language (ESL) in a communicatively-oriented conversation class. In contrast to previous studies that relied on short excerpts, the corpus contained all of the teacher speech the learners were exposed to during a 9-week session. L...
متن کاملUsing Invention to Change How Students Tackle Problems
Invention activities challenge students to tackle problems that superficially appear unrelated to the course material but illustrate underlying fundamental concepts that are fundamental to material that will be presented. During our invention activities in a first-year biology class, students were presented with problems that are parallel to those that living cells must solve, in weekly session...
متن کاملBridging school and home: students' engagement with technology-rich activities
This poster describes ongoing work that examines students use of a computer-based learning environment designed to bridge school and out-of-school learning contexts by incorporating affordances of both formal and informal learning settings. Data presented illustrate sixth grade students’ use of online chat in class and at home and present an initial examination of chat interactions (in both mix...
