Constructivism, Social Constructivism and Situated Cognition: A Sliding Scale | nishanc... - 2 views

  •  
    When I read about situated cognition, I saw that cognitive constructivism, social constructivism and situated cognition are the same in manner that all reject objectivist point of view to teaching. However, since they are three different theories, I wonder what makes them different from each other.  I encountered this article in which differences are well emphasized. According to the article: Cognitive constructivism says that people learn by building on their previous experiences with the environment. Since individuals have different history of experiences, same type of didactic teaching is not effective. Cognitive constructivism focuses on mainly individual. Social constructivism purports that knowledge are co-constructed by members of groups from different cultural backgrounds and learning environments should foster collaborative learning. Social constructivism mainly focuses on groups rather than individuals. Situated cognition, on the other hand, suggests that regardless of the fact that concepts are handled as individuals or as groups, if those concepts are not taught within their actual-natural context, learning of those concepts are meaningless and inert. Situated cognition mainly focuses on the context.

    I like this website; it gives the connection between situated learning and current educational necessities like modeling, scaffolding. In the class, these are expected from us and it really helps students visualize the target point. Thank you for sharing it with us.

Learning Theories - 1 views

  •  
    There are many theories in this page that we should be interested in in this page as learning sciences students. An example of two groundbreaking research results in learning sciences is (1) Entwistle's Phenomenography theory This conceptual framework focuses on the experience of learning from the student's perspective and is based upon a phenomenological approach to research. Entwistle explains: "Our task is thus to describe more clearly how learning takes place in higher education and to point out how teaching and assessment affect the quality of learning. From these descriptions teachers should be able to draw their own lessons about how to facilitate their students' learning" (Marton, Hounsell & Entwistle, 1984, p.1). (2) Festinger's Cognitive Dissonance Theory According to cognitive dissonance theory, there is a tendency for individuals to seek consistency among their cognitions (i.e., beliefs, opinions). When there is an inconsistency between attitudes or behaviors (dissonance), something must change to eliminate the dissonance. In the case of a discrepancy between attitudes and behavior, it is most likely that the attitude will change to accommodate the behavior.

Vitamin as a "Cognitive Tutoring tool" - 0 views

    I think Vitamin is one of the best cogntive tools in Turkish. They have very comprehensive work online.

    Thanks for sharing. Yet I have doubts whether we can call Vitamin as a Cognitive Tutoring Tool. I have just visited the site and checked it. Considering the part about principles and methods for cognitive tutor design on page 67, we see that in Cognitive Tutors the emphasis is on the structure underlying the problem solving, and there we see immediate feedbacks and also minimizing working memory load is important part of them. As I see, what is specific about the Cognitive Tutors is that they have algorithms tracing the learning process and directs it according to the learner's performance spontaneously. Observing Vitamin I see a nice online educational tool including videos, examples about the subject and tests. But still I have doubts whether it is a kind of cognitive tutor or an online education platform.
  •  
    I am not sure if Vitamin is tracing the learner development. I will try to ask it to one of my friends eırking at Vitamin.
  •  
    I agree with Halil, Vitamin is like distance education programs of Anatolian University. It offers videos presenting he topic and tests of the related subjects. Learners do not take immediate feedback which lead to the individualized progress in the program.

    I know it's related to our previous topic, but still I like the way she explains; a clear model of the thousands of little things that have to happen as we move from novice to expert and wanted to share with you.

    We will talk more about cognitive load theory and its implications in education research later this semester. Thanks for sharing.

    A center for cognitive tutor program. The definition from the website: "Our research focuses on the development of Cognitive Tutors -- instructional systems that support guided learning-by-doing. Drawing from the disciplines of artificial intelligence, cognitive psychology and human computer interaction, we develop systems that provide individualized assistance to students as they work on challenging real-world problems in complex domains such as computer programming, algebra and geometry. Individualized guidance is made possible using detailed computational models of skills and misconceptions underlying a learning domain."

Genes to Cognition - 1 views

  •  
    Hi all, "Genes to Cognition (G2C) Online is about modern neuroscience. It focuses on cognitive disorders, cognitive processes, and research approaches." What makes this website interesting is its dynamic networks that teach a lot about brain and neuroscience. What is more interesting about the website is 3-D Brain at the top right corner of the site. You can explore every single part of brain via that interactive model. Moreover, you can download it as a free application to your mobile phone through Google Play or App Store. Have fun with it! :)

    Yasin, I liked to much this application, it is too enjoyable, thank you :)

    Tihs video presents a brief explanation of Cognitive load theory that we mentioned in last week. I hope you like it.

    I liked the definition of expertise as "acquisition of schemas" or mental structure. We talked about these in our discussion through organization of knowledge and chunking.

Cognitive Absorption - 0 views

  •  
    This is a study conducted in Turkey for adapting a scale on Cognitive Absorption. As I understand it is a concept that takes into account absorption, cognitive engagement and flow as a framework. I wonder what other concepts might there be, that takes flow theory as a base, can be good to highlight.

    This extension or maybe a different application of situated cognition interesting to check out. As far as I understand the model has been used in different military settings and they still offer more alternative usages of it.

ISSUES IN MEASURING SITUATED COGNITION: CASES OF SITUATIONAL JUDGMENT TESTS - 0 views

  •  
    SJTs have long history of being used for measuring situated cognition; they have been used from 1920's(McDaniel, et. al., 2001). Although SJT has been originated from the conception of measuring dimensions, it has been viewed as a measurement method(e.g., McDaniel, et. al., 2001; Weekly & Jones, 1999) because it has been difficult to delineate the dimensions and situations. The situations represented by scenarios in SJTs are viewed as method from psychometric sense, meaning that situation effect, scenario effect, or method effect are all interchangeable.
  •  
    This source brings a focus to our readings I think; the assessment part. The example was partly hard for me to follow I have to say,I kinda got lost :) But I found the idea of the togetherness of knowledge dimensions and situational scenarios as methods. Thank you sharing
  •  
    Canan, you are completely right about the sample SJT for situated cognition. I still try to figure out..But I can share a very easy form of SJT.

Beyond Amplification - 1 views

  •  
    In this article Roy Pea, who is one of the pioneers of learning sciences, discussing how computers are changing our cognitive lifes beyond amplifying. Article first supports this proposition, then discusses implications of applying computer-based technologies into education. Lastly it suggests updating educational practices in order to be harmonious with this new emerging cognitive life. This article is also important for being quite early, it constitutes one of the foot stones of the learning sciences area.
