Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The purpose of the volume is to explore the theory, development and use of visual displays and graphic organizers to improve instruction, learning and research. We anticipate five sections that address (1) frameworks for understanding different types of displays, (2) research-tested guidelines for constructing displays, (3) empirically-based instructional applications, (4) using displays to promote research and theory development, and (5) using displays to report test and research data to improve consumer understanding. Authors represent a variety of perspectives and areas of expertise, including instructional psychology, information technology, and research methodologies. The volume is divided into four sections. Section 1 provides a conceptual overview of previous research, as well as the contents of the current volume. Section 2 includes theoretical perspectives on the design and instructional uses of visual displays from major theorists in the field. These chapters discuss ways that visual displays enhance general cognition and information processing. Section 3 provides eight chapters that address the use of visual displays to enhance student learning. These chapters provide examples of how to organize content and use visual displays in a variety of ways in the real and virtual classroom. Section 4 includes three chapters that discuss ways that visual displays may enhance the research process, but especially improved data display.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The purpose of this study was to determine the effect of using concept mapping under two modes of learning, cooperative and individualistic, on biology achievement and classroom environment. The subjects for this study were 38 students in two Grade 10 biology classes at the American Community School in Beirut. The subjects were divided into four groups: A, B, C, and D. Students in Group A used concept mapping under the cooperative mode of learning, students in Group B worked under the cooperative mode of learning without the use of concept mapping, students in Group C used concept mapping under the individualistic mode of learning, and students in Group D worked under the individualistic mode of learning without the use of concept mapping. Biology achievement was measured by two biology achievement tests that were developed by the researcher who conducted this study following Bloom's taxonomy of the cognitive domain. The content validity and the cognitive level of the test items were checked by the researcher and two science educators. The Kuder-Richardson-20 internal consistency reliabilities obtained for posttest one and posttest two were 0.97 and 0.99, respectively. Classroom environment was measured by My Class Inventory. Student Actual Short Form (MCI) that was developed by Fraser (1989a). One tailed t-tests at the 0.05 and 0.1 levels of significance were used to investigate the differences between the students' responses on the pretests, posttests and the retention test. This investigation was done to compare the achievement of the students who used concept mapping with vi the achievement of the students who did not use it, and the achievement of the students who studied under the cooperative mode of learning with the achievement of students who studied under the individualistic mode of learning. Moreover, differences between the achievement of the different groups was investigated using one way analysis of variance (ONEWAYANOVA) followed by post hoc comparisons using Fisher's Least Significant Difference (LSD) at the 0.05 level of significance. The mean scores of the five classroom environment aspects (satisfaction, friction, competitiveness, difficulty, and cohesiveness) that were assessed by the MCI were used to construct profiles of the students' responses on the questionnaire before and after conducting the study. One tailed t-tests for paired samples at 0.05 level of significance were performed to investigate the difference between students' scores on the five classroom aspects of the MCI. The results of this study indicated that the mean scores of the students who used concept mapping were higher than the mean scores of the students who did not use concept mapping. However, the differences between them were not significant in all cases. Even though the mean scores of the students who studied under the individualistic mode of learning were higher than the mean scores of the students who studied under the cooperative mode of learning, the difference between them was not statistically significant. The mean scores of the students who used concept mapping under the individualistic mode of learning were higher than the mean scores of the students in the other groups on posttests one and two. However, the mean scores of the students who used concept mapping under the cooperative mode of learning were higher than the mean scores of the students in the other groups on the retention test. Finally, results obtained from administering the MCI indicated that combining the use of concept mapping and cooperative learning has positive effects on students' perception of their classroom environment.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Science -- and the technology derived from it -- is having a dramatic impact on the quality of our personal lives and the environment around us. Science will have an even greater impact on the lives of our students. The lives of scientifically literate students will be enriched by their understanding, appreciation, and enjoyment of the natural world. To prosper in the near future, all students must become scientifically literate and embrace the notion of life-long learning in science. Without scientific literacy, it will become impossible for students to make informed decisions about the interrelated educational, scientific, and social issues that will confront them in the future. Intended for science teachers, teacher educators, researchers, and administrators, this volume is concerned with the innovative research that is reforming how science is learned in schools. The chapters provide overviews of current research and illustrate how the findings of this research are being applied in schools. This research-based knowledge is essential for effective science instruction. The contributors are leading authorities in science education and their chapters draw clear connections among research, theory, and classroom practice. They provide excellent examples from science classes in which their research has reformed practice. This book will help educators develop the scientific literacy of students. It bridges the gap between cutting-edge research and classroom practice to provide educators with the knowledge they need to foster students' scientific literacy.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This fully revised and updated edition of Learning, Creating, and Using Knowledge recognizes that the future of economic well being in today's knowledge and information society rests upon the effectiveness of schools and corporations to empower their people to be more effective learners and knowledge creators. Novak’s pioneering theory of education presented in the first edition remains viable and useful. This new edition updates his theory for meaningful learning and autonomous knowledge building along with tools to make it operational ─ that is, concept maps, created with the use of CMapTools and the V diagram. The theory is easy to put into practice, since it includes resources to facilitate the process, especially concept maps, now optimised by CMapTools software. CMapTools software is highly intuitive and easy to use. People who have until now been reluctant to use the new technologies in their professional lives are will find this book particularly helpful. Learning, Creating, and Using Knowledge is essential reading for educators at all levels and corporate managers who seek to enhance worker productivity.

Download or read book Collaborative Concept Mapping written by Rachel Min Wong and published by . This book was released on 2021 with total page 141 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Collaborative concept mapping (CCM) is a combination of two well-researched learning strategies: concept mapping and collaborative learning. Evidence suggests that the synergistic effects of both strategies are effective for supporting the acquisition and retention of knowledge. Despite an increase in research on collaborative concept mapping in the last decade, little is known about the instructional design or methodological characteristics that underlie the effectiveness of collaborative concept mapping. This presents a limitation as the lack of understanding of these characteristics may hinder researchers' recommendations for learning environments that maximize the effects of collaborative concept mapping. To establish a more robust understanding of the conditions under which collaborative concept mapping is effective for learning, this dissertation comprises two studies. Study 1 is a comprehensive meta-analysis that summarizes the effect of learning with collaborative concept mapping in comparison to other collaborative, individual, or traditional activities. In addition, potential theory-driven factors that moderate the effects of collaborative concept mapping were examined. Results showed that collaborative concept mapping was beneficial for supporting learning and the effect was moderated by structure of collaboration, group size, and publication source. Study 2 is an empirical study that seeks to address the lack of robust comparisons between collaborative concept mapping and another similarly robust collaborative activity. In addition, study 2 seeks to foster more intentional discussions between group members through resource distribution. Specifically, study 2 uses a 2x2 factorial design to examine the effect of type of collaborative activity (concept mapping versus summary writing) and resource distribution (interdependence vs. independence) on the quality of undergraduate students' collaboration and individual learning performance. In study 2, 428 participants were assigned to dyads, and the dyads were randomly assigned to one of four conditions in a between-subjects design. Results showed a significant main effect of resource distribution for immediate free recall. However, there were no other significant main effects or interaction effects for the other immediate and delayed learning measures. Theoretical, empirical, and practical implications of the findings are discussed in each study.
