Guided Cognition for Learning: Unsupervised Learning and the Design of Effective Homework details a new instructional design approach called Guided Cognition where homework tasks are designed to guide learners to engage in specific, observable cognitive events that are hypothesized to elicit underlying theoretical cognitive processes that result in learning. Outlining the results of twenty-six experiments completed over the course of eight years, the book tells a significant story about the generality of Guided Cognition instructional design to improve comprehension and recall by students of varying ages and ability levels.
- Explains why unsupervised learning is a major part of education
- Reviews the history of homework in American education
- Shows that quality of homework is more important than quantity
- Illustrates how Guided Cognition-designed homework improves learning for literature and mathematics
- Compares Guided Cognition to other types of instructional design
- Analyzes how the surface structure of Guided Cognition tasks relate to underlying psychological processes
- Discusses the effects of the internet on learning
- Presents applications that facilitate lifelong learning
- Includes an appendix of frames and guidelines for authoring Guided Cognition questions and tasks

About the Author
Sandra E. Whitten earned a Master of Arts in Education with a research focus on the effective design of cooperative learning activities and environments. As a Research Associate at Fordham University, she studied the design of effective unsupervised individual learning, and co-authored presentations of this work that have been given in the United States and in Europe. During her 36-year career as an educator, Sandra Whitten served on the faculties of middle schools and high schools in Michigan, New York, and New Jersey, where she taught English and social science to students of all ability levels from ages 12-18. She coordinated her school’s participation in a statewide poetry festival, mentored fellow teachers, advised the school literary magazine, coached public speaking, and established and led a school-wide service club. Sandra Whitten’s Advanced Placement English program has been commended for excellence by the College Board. She has been recognized by Princeton University as one of the top teachers in New Jersey, and the Masonic Lodges of New Jersey selected her as the State Educator of the Year.
