  • Wisconsin General Testing Apparatus (WGTA) to study learning, cognition, and memory. It was through these studies that Harlow discovered that the monkeys he worked with were developing strategies for his tests. What would later become known as learning sets, Harlow described as “learning to learn”.

  • Interactive learning triples students’ gains in knowledge as measured by the kinds of conceptual tests that had once deflated Mazur’s spirits, and by many other assessments as well. It has other salutary effects, like erasing the gender gap between male and female undergraduates.
  • For his part, Mazur has collected reams of data on his students’ results. (He says most scholars, even scientists, rely on anecdotal evidence instead.) End-of-semester course evaluations he dismisses as nothing more than “popularity contests” that ought to be abolished. “There is zero correlation between course evaluations and the amount learned,” he says. “Award-winning teachers with the highest evaluations can produce the same results as teachers who are getting fired.”
  • Active learners take new information and apply it, rather than merely taking note of it.

  • From cognitive science, we hear that learning is a process of moving information from short-term to long-term memory; assessment research has proven that active learning does that best.”
  • Websites and laptops have been around for years now, but we haven’t fully thought through how to integrate them with teaching so as to conceive of courses differently.”
  • It starts from his view of education as a two-step process: information transfer, and then making sense of and assimilating that information. “
  • Taking active learning seriously means revamping the entire teaching/learning enterprise—even turning it inside out or upside down. For example, active learning overthrows the “transfer of information” model of instruction, which casts the student as a dry sponge who passively absorbs facts and ideas from a teacher.

    "Career analyst Dan Pink examines the puzzle of motivation, starting with a fact that social scientists know but most managers don't: Traditional rewards aren't always as effective as we think. Listen for illuminating stories -- and maybe, a way forward."

    The TED talk further distinguish tasks into two types, and reveals that incentives doesn't work with the type of work requires cognitive skills. It points out that intrinsic motivation: autonomy, mastery and purpose will work better to enhance efficiency. The situations in my classroom clearly backup this statement. Every time when I am doing simple translation word to word with my students in a timed situation, incentive such as candies, points work perfectly. Students performed well under that simply reward system. But when the task change into creating sentences with the given vocabulary, students' attentions shift from getting rewards to proving their ability or mastery. As a language teacher, I understand that as the difficult of the content increase, the effect of rewards decrease accordingly. To increase students' intrinsic motivation, cultivate self-motivated students is the key to success.

    "What many of these theories give a name to may actually be a learning preference. And it's a long way from preferring to be taught one way to actually learning more when taught by a compatible instructional method."

memory supermemo software education

  • SuperMemo is based on the insight that there is an ideal moment to practice what you've learned. Practice too soon and you waste your time. Practice too late and you've forgotten the material and have to relearn it. The right time to practice is just at the moment you're about to forget.
  • A graph of our likelihood of getting the correct answer on a quiz sweeps quickly downward over time and then levels off. This pattern has long been known to cognitive psychology, but it has been difficult to put to practical use.
  • SuperMemo is the result of his research. It predicts the future state of a person's memory and schedules information reviews at the optimal time.
  • ...4 more annotations...
  • Ebbinghaus showed that it's possible to dramatically improve learning by correctly spacing practice sessions. On one level, this finding is trivial; all students have been warned not to cram. But the efficiencies created by precise spacing are so large, and the improvement in performance so predictable, that from nearly the moment Ebbinghaus described the spacing effect, psychologists have been urging educators to use it to accelerate human progress.
  • SuperMemo is a program that keeps track of discrete bits of information you've learned and want to retain. For example, say you're studying Spanish. Your chance of recalling a given word when you need it declines over time according to a predictable pattern. SuperMemo tracks this so-called forgetting curve and reminds you to rehearse your knowledge when your chance of recalling it has dropped to, say, 90 percent.
  • Perhaps the things we learn — words, dates, formulas, historical and biographical details — don't really matter. Facts can be looked up. That's what the Internet is for. When it comes to learning, what really matters is how things fit together. We master the stories, the schemas, the frameworks, the paradigms; we rehearse the lingo; we swim in the episteme. The disadvantage of this comforting notion is that it's false.
  • The most popular learning systems sold today — for instance, foreign language software like Rosetta Stone — cheerfully defy every one of the psychologists' warnings. With its constant feedback and easily accessible clues, Rosetta Stone brilliantly creates a sensation of progress.

    I came across this online magazine that covers eLearning while looking for information about YouTube as a learning tool. I think it's a good general resource about eLearning and is probably geared more towards the adult/corporate training side of Learning Technologies as opposed to the K-12 education side but could be used either way. I believe it fits well under the Social Cognitive Theory but each individual article may reach into other theories.

    Credit: iStockphoto You've surely heard the slogans: "Our educational games will give your brain a workout!" Or how about, "Give your students the cognitive muscles they need to build brain fitness." And then there's the program that "builds, enhances, and restores natural neural pathways to assist natural learning." Read this article to separate fact and fiction about the brain and how it functions.
