What do we know about the cognitive processing that occurs during complex learning? How can we provide effective instructional support for students who must learn and apply complex knowledge? These questions, and related issues, have fascinated educators and educational researchers for many years and are they are the focus of this book. As a tribute to Joost Lowyck, professor educational technology at the K.U. Leuven, eminent scholars from around the globe have contributed to a far reaching analysis of complexity in learning environments from a cognitive perspective. The chapter authors summarize what we know now about complexity and make specific suggestions for educational practice and for future research on complexity. The different contributions in the several chapters discuss theoretical accounts and empirical findings about learning, the learner, and learning environments. Wide-ranging topics include current descriptions of our cognitive architecture, new contributions to cognitive load theory, research and evaluation design considerations, motivation to learn, the influence of prior knowledge, the use of simulations and multimedia, alternative instructional methods and interventions, studies of the classroom context for complex learning and mental model-building. This book is a tribute to Joose Lowyck, professor educational technology at the KU Leuven. International scholars provide far reaching analysis of complexity in learning environments from a cognitive perspective. It makes specific suggestions for educational practice and for future research.(Publisher).

ABOUT THIS BOOK: Within an increasingly multimedia focused society, the use of external representations in learning, teaching and communication has increased dramatically. Whether in the classroom, university or workplace, there is a growing requirement to use and interpret a large variety of external representational forms and tools for knowledge acquisition, problem solving, and to communicate with others. Use of Representations in Reasoning and Problem Solving brings together contributions from some of the world's leading researchers in educational and instructional psychology, instructional design, and mathematics and science education to document the role which external representations play in our understanding, learning and communication. Traditional research has focused on the distinction between verbal and non-verbal representations, and the way they are processed, encoded and stored by different cognitive systems. The contributions here challenge these research findings and address the ambiguity about how these two cognitive systems interact, arguing that the classical distinction between textual and pictorial representations has become less prominent. The contributions in this book explore: -how we can theorise the relationship between processing internal and external representations -what perceptual and cognitive restraints can affect the use of external representations -how individual differences affect the use of external representations -how we can combine external representations to maximise their impact -how we can adapt representational tools for individual differences. Using empirical research findings to take a fresh look at the processes which take place when learning via external representations, this book is essential reading for all those undertaking postgraduate study and research in the fields of educational and instructional psychology, instructional design and mathematics and science education.(Publisher).

Hardback, Francais, sous jacquette originale d'editeur, 16x24 cm., 550 pp. ISBN 9789058672117. Symbolae Facultatis Litterarum Lovaniensis - Series A : 28. Op de vooravond van zijn emeritaat kan Mark Debrock terugblikken op een rijk gevulde carriere. Hij is een van de grondleggers van de Vlaamse Romanistiek met fonetiek en toegepaste linguistiek als uitverkoren werkterrein. Tegelijk is hij de bezieler van een bijdetijdse en onderzoeksmatig onderbouwde lerarenopleiding. Verder heeft hij zich geprofileerd als een efficient beleidsman via functies als Groepsvoorzitter Humane Wetenschappen en Coordinator Onderwijsbeleid. Rode draad doorheen dit alles is ongetwijfeld zijn gedreven inzet voor het onderwijs in al zijn facetten. Dit is meteen de centrale invalshoek waarrond de bundel is samengesteld. Een eerste luik is gewijd aan taaldidactiek met bijdragen rond vaardigheidstraining, het gebruik van corpora en het uitwerken van pedagogische grammatica's en woordenboeken. Het tweede luik focust op onderzoek omtrent taalverwerving en taalonderwijs, op de vernieuwde lerarenopleiding, en op onderwijsbeleid en onderwijsinnovatie. De 27 bijdragen aan dit huldealbum zijn evenveel "tableaux vivants" van een onderwijsrealiteit in volle beweging. A la veille de son emeritat, Mark Debrock peut s'estimer heureux d'avoir parcouru une carriere aussi bien remplie. Il est l'un des fondateurs des etudes romanes en Flandre. La phonetique et la linguistique appliquee constituent ses domaines de predilection. Il est egalement l'inspirateur d'une agregation de l'enseignement secondaire et superieur sans cesse actualisee et ancree dans une solide base scientifique. Il s'est egalement profile comme un gestionnaire performant en assumant de multiples fonctions, notamment celle de Vice-Recteur, charge d'abord des Sciences Humaines et ensuite de l'Enseignement. Le fil rouge a travers toutes ces activites est son engagement pour tout ce qui touche de pres ou de loin a l'enseignement et a la formation (continue). Voila l'ancrage principal des differentes contributions a ce recueil. Un premier volet est consacre a la didactique des langues et comprend des contributions dans le domaine de l'acquisition des differentes habiletes langagieres, l'exploitation de corpus et l'elaboration de grammaires pedagogiques et de dictionnaires d'apprentissage. Le deuxieme volet porte sur les recherches concernant l'acquisition et l'enseignement des langues, la nouvelle agregation de l'enseignement secondaire et superieur, la politique de l'enseignement et l'innovation didactique. Les 27 contributions constituent autant de "tableaux vivants" d'un univers en pleine mouvance. 0 g.

Hardcover. Condition: Near Fine. 1st Edition. Hardcover, viii + 213 pages, NOT ex-library. Book is clean and bright throughout with unmarked text, free of inscriptions and stamps, firmly bound. Minor handling wear. Issued without a dust jacket. -- This volume brings together essays from leading researchers to explore the complex relationship between individuals' beliefs and their capacity for cognitive flexibility. It examines how pre-existing epistemological beliefs - what people believe about the nature of knowledge and knowing - can either facilitate or hinder their ability to adapt their thinking, learn from new information, and solve complex problems. The work delves into how these beliefs influence learning in specific domains like science and history, and it explores the challenges of promoting more sophisticated, flexible belief systems through instruction. It serves as a key resource for researchers in educational psychology, cognitive science, and instructional design. -- Contents: 1 Introduction; 2 Personal Epistemology: Nomenclature, Conceptualizations, and Measurement / Jeremy Briell, Jan Elen 3 Generative Nature of Epistemological Judgments: Focusing on Interactions Instead of Elements to Understand the Relationship Between Epistemological Beliefs and Cognitive Flexibility / Elmar Stahl; 4 Spontaneous Cognitive Flexibility and an Encompassing System of Epistemological Beliefs / Marlene Schommer-Aikins; 5 Personal Epistemology and Philosophical Epistemology: The View of a Philosopher / Richard F. Kitchener; 6 Beliefs About Abilities and Epistemic Beliefs: Aspects of Cognitive Flexibility in Information-Rich Environments / Dorothe Kienhues, Rainer Bromme; 7 Cognitive Flexibility and Epistemic Validation in Learning from Multiple Texts / Tobias Richter; 8 Development of Cognitive Flexibility and Epistemological Understanding in Argumentation / Beate Sodian, Petra Barchfeld; 9 Medical Trainees' Epistemological Beliefs and Their Cognitive Flexibility / Ann Roex, Jan Degryse; 10 Analyzing and Developing Strategy Flexibility in Mathematics Education / Lieven Verschaffel, Koen Luwel; 11 Conclusion; Index -- "With the world and its structures becoming ever more complex, and the nature of future employment becoming ever more unpredictable, the notion of 'cognitive flexibility' has a high profile in educational and psychological debate. The contributions in this volume analyze the nature of cognitive flexibility, as well as the impact of different types of beliefs on cognitive flexibility. Making adequate decisions requires considering input from a variety of continuously evolving sources rather than adhering to predetermined procedures. Adopting a position in a debate necessitates the critical evaluation of different alternatives, while solving a problem entails selecting appropriate problem-solving strategies. Meanwhile, studying requires students to integrate a range of interventions, and treating a patient involves making a differential diagnosis. The common factor, cognitive flexibility, lies at the core of effective functioning in complex, domain-specific environments. Cognitive flexibility can be described as the disposition to consider diverse information elements while deciding on how to solve a problem or to execute a learning-related task in a variety of domains. The concept of 'disposition' implies that individuals will not always demonstrate cognitive flexibility even if they are in principle able to act in a cognitively flexible way. The notion does not require that alternatives are always deliberately considered, which is why this volume's tandem discussion of beliefs is key element of the discussion. Beliefs play a central role in cognitive flexibility and relate to what individuals consider to be important, valid and/or true. Of specific interest is the relationship between epistemological beliefs and cognitive flexibility, especially as a particular subset of epistemological beliefs seems to be a prerequisite to a cognitively flexible disposition.".
