Cognitive learning research storytelling story

shared by Dave Solon on 30 Jun 11 - No Cached
  • The penultimate sentence is in parenthesis to indicate that some saw the sentence and some didn't. Subjects found the passage more interesting if the reason for the ending was not explicitly in the passage. Similar effects have been reported for more educational materials (e.g., historical passages, see Frick, 1992).

      So don't give away everything or be too explicit. Leave the reader with something to analyze or think about.
  • One key reason that stories are easy to comprehend is because we know the format, and that gives us a reasonable idea of what to expect. When an event is described in a story, we expect that the event will be causally related to a prior event in the story. The listener uses his or her knowledge of story structure to relate the present event to what has already happened.
  • Subjects remember about 50 percent more from the stories than from the expository passages.

  • Stories Are Easier to Remember
  • Stories and Story Structure in the ClassroomStories are interesting, easy to comprehend, and easy to remember; and even preschoolers have some appreciation of story structure (Wenner, 2004). Exactly what has led our minds to handle stories in such a privileged way is not well understood, but it has been suggested that understanding the actions and characters in a story calls on the same processes we use in trying to understand the actions and intentions of people in the real world (Bower, 1978). We evolved as a social species, and so we may have special cognitive apparatus to deal with social situations that are co-opted in thinking about stories.
  • How can teachers capitalize on the privileged status of stories? There are two groups of applications. First, obviously enough, one can tell more stories. Second, where stories are inappropriate, it may still be useful to inject elements from the story format into lessons. Both approaches are discussed here.
  • Tell more stories in class.
  • Have students read stories outside of class.
  • Tell stories to older students.
  • Use the four Cs to structure lessons
  • Since stories are interesting, easy to remember, and easy to understand, they are an ideal introduction to a new unit. The teacher can introduce new material in a way that is both non-threatening and interesting.
  • Use the most important C—conflict.
  • Screenwriters know that the most important of the four Cs is the conflict. If the audience is not compelled by the problem that the main characters face, they will never be interested in the story.

  • But he said the Corbett administration wanted to make sure charter schools were held to the same performance standards as district-run schools.

      What will this mean? Held to the same standards but will they also be held to the same punishments for poor performance?

  • The results were more dismal for cyber charter schools: Students at 100 percent of them performed "significantly worse" than their counterparts in district schools.

      If that's the case then why are our tax dollars going there and NOT into public schools? Shouldn't this be cause for SERIOUS concern?
  • But, on average, the state's charter school students lag behind the gains of students in regular public schools - 39 percent of charter schools underperform their public school counterparts in reading and 46 percent in math.

      Of course, we have to flip those numbers as well. If 39% underperform, then 61% OUTperform.

    buy verified twitter account Twitter has more than 320 million active users. Of those, about 6% are considered fake, or automated accounts that are used to inflate follower counts, according to twitteraudit.com. But some people are willing to pay for the social currency of a high follower count, and because of that, a robust black market has emerged. How much are people willing to pay for a fake Twitter follower? Apparently, $15 for 1,000 followers, according to a report from The Washington Post. That's about 1/15th of a cent per follower.

    Buy yelp Reviews Are you a small business owner looking to boost your online presence and attract more customers? In today's digital age, online reviews have become an essential factor in consumer decision-making. One platform that dominates the review space is Yelp, with millions of users relying on its reviews to make informed choices. However, getting positive reviews on Yelp can be a challenging task for many businesses. This has led to the emergence of a market where businesses can buy Yelp reviews to improve their reputation and visibility. In this article, we will explore the concept of buying Yelp reviews, discussing the benefits, risks, and ethical considerations associated with this practice to help you make an informed decision about enhancing your online presence. What About Yelp? In today's internet-dominated world, online reviews have become an integral part of our decision-making process, whether it's choosing a restaurant, booking a hotel, or buying a product. Among the many platforms available, Yelp has emerged as a popular and influential website when it comes to sharing customer experiences and opinions. With millions of reviews covering various businesses, Yelp has amassed a considerable user base, making it a valuable resource for consumers and businesses alike.
