Computers As Cognitive Tools

"Computers as Cognitive Tools, Volume II: No More Walls provides examples of state-of-the-art, technology-based research in the field of education and training. These examples are theory-driven and reflect learning paradigms currently in use in cognitive science. The learning theories, which consider the nature of individual learning as well as how knowledge is constructed in social situations, include information processing; constructivism, and situativity. Contributors to this volume demonstrate some variability in their choice of guiding learning paradigms. This affords the reader the opportunity to examine how such paradigms are operationalized and validated." "An array of instructional and assessment approaches are described, along with new techniques for automating the design and assessment process. New considerations are offered as possibilities for examining learning in distributed situations. A multitude of subject matter areas are covered, including scientific reasoning and inquiry in biology, physics, medicine, electricity, teacher education, programming and hypermedia composition in social science and ecology."--Jacket.
