Lassoing Skill Through Learner Choice.
The authors examined several issues related to the motor learning benefits resulting from giving learners choices. In 2 experiments, participants practiced a novel task, throwing a lasso. In Experiment 1, giving learners a choice ostensibly irrelevant to performance (color of mat under target) resulted in enhanced learning relative to a control group. The choice group also reported more positiv...
متن کاملMaking sense of number sense: implications for children with mathematical disabilities.
Drawing on various approaches to the study of mathematics learning, Gersten, Jordan, and Flojo (in this issue) explore the implications of this research for identifying children at risk for developing mathematical disabilities. One of the key topics Gersten et al. consider in their review is that of "number sense." I expand on their preliminary effort by examining in detail the diverse set of c...
متن کاملA Learner with a Sense for Quality
A text understanding system with learning capabilities is presented. New concepts are acquired by incorporating two kinds of evidence – knowledge about linguistic constructions in which unknown lexical items occur and knowledge about structural patterns in ontologies such that new concept descriptions can be compared with prior knowledge. On the basis of the quality of evidence gathered this wa...
متن کاملMaking Sense of Social Complexity through Strange Attractors
Strange attractors – emerging out of the chaotic dynamics of the thoughts and feelings constantly swarming in the mental space of each individual – encapsulate topologies of meaning-making units and offer a key to a unified semiotic and cognitive understanding of meaning. Being dynamic constructs, Strange Attractors of Meaning have both spatial and temporal characteristics. The spatial characte...
متن کاملAcademic Network Explorer: Making Sense of Your Research through Interaction
Literature reading is a necessary but never easy task for researchers, especially for beginners of academia or in time limited circumstances. To make sense of literature, researchers need not only to read papers, but also to understand their context such as the authors who wrote them, where they are published and what are their impact on certain research areas. I propose a visualization system ...
