A Norwegian researcher, Anne Mangen, recently weighed in with an interesting paper in the Journal of Research in Reading, asserting that screen reading and page reading are radically different. “The feeling of literally being in touch with the text is lost when your actions - clicking with the mouse, pointing on touch screens, or scrolling with keys or on touch pads - take place at a distance from the digital text, which is, somehow, somewhere inside the computer, the e-book, or the mobile phone,’’ Mangen writes.

Professory Cooke once told a story about teaching students in the rural West. When asked where they were most likely to see a yacht, the students did not choose lake or ocean, but highway. They lived in a town through which many yachts were moved on flat-bed trucks between the summer and winter homes of their owners. So, given the life experiences of the students, this was the correct answer.... but not the one that the test-makers were going to count as correct.

Recent neurological and psychological research (using scientific methodolgy as a basis, not theories e.g. Gardner's Multiple Intelligences, Bloom's Taxonomy, etc) is indicating that the constructivist models of learning, where 'process' is valued far more than 'content', are incorrect. Knowledge and thinking are interdependent and to think well, students must have knowledge.
