Usu1320 - History And Civilization, Fall, 2007, Mark Damen

University Studies - OCW

The purpose of this course is to survey the development of various Western civilizations and the ways in which culture translates, transforms, and transcends the world around it. But, while we will survey history across many millennia and several continents, this is not strictly a "survey class." We are not obliged to cover "Plato to NATO" and, as such, this course will serve neither time nor topic but spread its colors where curiosity draws the eye.


Cognitive Load And Classroom Teaching: The Double-Edged Sword Of Automaticity, David F. Feldon Jul 2007

Cognitive Load And Classroom Teaching: The Double-Edged Sword Of Automaticity, David F. Feldon

Instructional Technology and Learning Sciences Faculty Publications

Research in the development of teacher cognition and teaching performance in K–12 classrooms has identified consistent challenges and patterns of behavior that are congruent with the predictions of dual-process models of cognition. However, cognitive models of information processing are not often used to synthesize these results. This article reviews findings from the research on teaching and teacher education through the lens of a dual-process model and emphasizes the role that cognitive load plays in driving teaching performance. Data reflecting the salience of automaticity and its relationship with cognitive overload are highlighted, and implications for teacher preparation and inservice training strategies …


Implications Of Research On Expertise For Curriculum And Pedagogy, David F. Feldon Jun 2007

Implications Of Research On Expertise For Curriculum And Pedagogy, David F. Feldon

Instructional Technology and Learning Sciences Faculty Publications

Instruction on problem solving in particular domains typically relies on explanations from experts about their strategies. However, research indicates that such self-reports often are incomplete or inaccurate (e.g., Chao & Salvendy, 1994; Cooke & Breedin, 1994). This article evaluates research on experts’ cognition, the accuracy of experts’ self-reports, and the efficacy of instruction based on experts’ self-reports. Analysis of this evidence indicates that experts’ free recall of strategies introduces errors and omissions into instructional materials that hinder student success. In contrast, when experts engage in structured knowledge elicitation techniques (e.g., cognitive task analysis), the resultant instruction is more effective. Based …
