Cerebral Lateralization And Adult Second Language Learning, Fairlee Winfield Carroll

Teacher Education, Educational Leadership & Policy ETDs

Learner-focused investigations of foreign language learning have centered mainly on socio-affective factors, the effects of the native language, and the course of grammatical development. Although intrinsic neurophysio­logical limitations have been suggested, neurolinguistic research evidence obtained with normal subjects has been lacking. An investigation is made of cerebral processing during adult second language learning utilizing the dichotic listening technique. Results are of educational importance in that they are indicative of processing strategies related to the specialization of the right­cerebral-hemisphere for a holistic mode and the speciali­zation of the left-cerebral-hemisphere for an analytic mode.

Jean Piaget's Theory Of Equilibration And The Self-Regulating Behavior Of Sixteen Children, Luisa Crucita Chávez

Teacher Education, Educational Leadership & Policy ETDs

An investigation is made of Jean Piaget's theory of equilibration, and of the equilibrating behavior of sixteen children in school. It is demonstrated that equilibration could be a valid construct from which to view children's behavior--especially learning behavior. It is also demonstrated that a sound curriculum base can be derived from the equilibration theory of Piaget. Questions about educational pedagogy can be cast in terms of equilibration theory.

An observational study is made of sixteen children's self-regulating (equilibrating) behavior in their classroom environments. The children differ in mental structure in terms of sex, level of development, level of curiosity and …
