As a result, many students do not see or understand the connection between mathematics and their daily lives. Some students may excel at performing mathematical functions, but there is evidence that they cannot apply those skills to solve everyday problems. Sti ...

School Practices "Students do not fail simply because they are black or poor or pregnant or from a single-parent home. They fail, in part, because schools are not responsive to the conditions and problems accompanying these personal and SES conditions" (Wehlage et al., 1989, p. 50-51). Teachers can have a significant impact on how well their students achieve. How they treat their various students may make the difference between decisions to remain in school or to drop out.

Here are some representative selections of constructivist thinking and of us ...

Sequencing of Instruction One of the most important issues in the application of learning theory is sequencing of instruction. The order and organization of learning activities affects the way information is processed and retained (Glynn & DiVesta, 1977; Lorch & Lorch, 1985; Van Patten, Chao, & Reigeluth, 1986) A number of theories (e.g., Bruner, Reigeluth, Scandura) suggest a simple-to-complex sequence. The algo-heuristic theory of Landa prescribes a cumulative strategy. According to Gagne' ...

Problem-Solving Theories of problem-solving are dominated by the work of Newell & Simon on GPS (General Problem Solver). This work established the information processing paradigm for the study of problem-solving and the concepts of "means-ends-analysis" and "problem space". According to the GPS framework, problem-solving involves the identification of subgoals and the use of methods (especially heuristics) to satisfy the subgoals. The Gestalt psychologist Wertheimer also conducted research o ...

Cognitive/Learning Styles Cognitive styles refer to the preferred way an individual processes information. Unlike individual differences in abilities (e.g., Gardner, Guilford, Sternberg) which describe peak performance, styles describe a person's typical mode of thinking, remembering or problem solving. Furthermore, styles are usually considered to be bipolar dimensions whereas abilities are unipolar (ranging from zero to a maximum value). Having more of an ability is usually considered benefi ...

Learning Strategies Learning strategies refer to methods that students use to learn. This ranges from techniques for improved memory to better studying or test-taking strategies. For example, the method of loci is a classic memory improvement technique; it involves making associations between facts to be remembered and particular locations. In order to remember something, you simply visualize places and the associated facts. Some learning strategies involve changes to the design of instructi ...

Decision-Making From a practical point-of-view, one of the most important human skills is decision-making (judgement and choice). Both at a personal level, and in the context of organizations, decision-making skill strongly affects the quality of life and success.

Decision-making skill is fundament ...

Conditions of Learning (R. Gagne) Overview: This theory stipulates that there are several different types or levels of learning. The significance of these classifications is that each different type requires different types of instruction. Gagne identifies five major categories of learning: verbal information, intellectual skills, cognitive strategies, motor skills and attitudes. Different internal and external conditions are necessary for each type of learning. For example, for cognitive s ...
