Download or read book Cognitive Styles and Learning Strategies written by Richard Riding and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2013-10-23 with total page 224 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: First Published in 1998. This book deals with what may well turn out to be the missing element in the study of individual differences - cognitive style. Its intention is to distinguish between, and integrate, the research attempts, particularly over the past half century, to make sense of style differences. In several respects this book is unique in that it contains material that is not covered in any other and draws together the various aspects of psychology relevant to the study of individual differences. It is in this sense both a textbook and a source of reference for many professionals working in a range of contexts. The content of the book has relevance for a wide audience.

This book was released on 1985 with total page 158 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "This investigation is aimed at assessing any possible interaction between three cognitive styles; impulsivity/ reflectivity, field independence/field dependence, and in ternal/external locus of control, and Jean Piaget's cognitive status. Cognitive styles refer to the consistent way in which people organize and process all experiences and information, and which determine their modes of problem-solving, thinking, remembering, and perceiving the world around them. Locus of control is therefore, defined as the degree to which individuals perceive rewards and punishments as stemming from their own actions or whether conseauences are controlled by external forcers or significant others. According to Lefcort (1976), who organized the results of scores of investigations, internals achieve more in school, resist the influence of others, and are more able to defer gratification than their external counterparts, and Roberts (1971) found positive correlations between reading achieve- ment and mathematic achievement in those individuals who are internally controlled, Impulsivity/reflectivity refers to the manner in which individuals respond to alternative hynotheses. Impulsive in-dividuals tend to offer the first answer that comes to them, while reflective individuals tend to ponder the various al ternatives before choosing an answer. Kagan, 1965b, Kagan, Pearson, and Welch, 1966a, found reflective children to score better on tasks involving visual discrimination, serial recall, inductive reasoning, and reading in the primary grades, than impulsive children, Tyler (1978) reports that reflective children do better on tests of intelligence and school work, than do impulsives (based on a study by Meichenbaum and Goodman, 1969). Attempts to modify conceptual tempo have been met with some success. These strategies include forced delays, reinforcing longer latencies, modeling and teaching reflective scanning strategies. Field independence/field dependence refers to the extent that individuals are able to differentiate figures as discrete from their backgrounds and differentiate objects from embedded figures. Field independent people also perceive an upright position with reference to axis in the prevailing visual field. Field dependent persons, on the other hand, experience and perceive cognitive situations in a global and undifferentiated fashion. Of considerable interest is the characteristics of those who are field independent and field dependent. Field independent individuals, according to Tyler (1974), tend to be more aware of inner experiences, more active in dealing with their environments, and are more in control of their own impulses, and are not as "people" oriented in their career choices, etc. Field dependent persons, on the other hand, tend to accept their environment rather passively, lack a clear self-identity, and tend to go along with what others think and do. According to Goodman (1976), field independent persons also analyze and search for revelant cues, while field dependent persons adopt a "spectator" role, looking passively at the stimuli presented. Piaget's developmental theory deals with every aspect of an individual's perception of the world, but the aspect of his theory, which is dealt with in this study, is his description of the cognitive development of individuals. Cognition refers to all mental activity, perception, memory and thought, through which knowledge of one's world is attained. During the state of concrete operations, the child ac-quires the ability to conceive, classify, seriate and to deal with numbers. The concrete child is able to identify revelant variables, contradictions, but cannot think theoretically about that which cannot be directly observed. Likewise, the formal operational child is able to formulate theoretical laws, and they possess adult-like reasoning skills. The majority of literature relating cognitive styles and cognitive developmental status has made comparisons at the formal operational level, and were very contradictory in their findings. What was found, was significant differences in problem-solving tasks, permutation tasks, and cognitive tasks in favor of those individuals who are field independent and reflective. Piaget's theory has helped teachers more fully understand the individual differences in the attainment of concepts of their students. The subjects of the present study were children whose mental ages ranged from 7.0 to 12.11. They were given the Children's Embedded Figures Test (or a measure of field in- dependence/field dependence, the Matching Familiar Figures Test for impulsivity versus reflectivity, the Nowichi-Strickland Scale of Internal versus External Control), and various Piagetian cognitive tasks for a measure of cognitive status. Statistical analysis of the data resulted in support of the null-hypothesis; the lack of positive significant corre-lations between [scores] on the Matching Familiar Figures Test (impulsivity versus reflectivity), and the Nowichi-Strickland Scale of Internal versus External Control, and cognitive developmental status, but supported, the hypothesis for the children's scores on the Embedded Figures Test as compared to scores of the cognitive developmental tasks. That meant, that children who obtained high scores on the Piagetian tasks, proved to be more field independent than those obtaining lesser scores. More research is needed in the area of cognitive style versus cognitive status to enable parents and educators to more fully understand the individual learning process and to enhance the attainment of skills"--Document.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Picturebooks, understood as a series of meaningful text-picture relations, are increasingly acknowledged as an autonomous sub-genre of children’s literature. Being highly complex aesthetic products, their use is deeply embedded in specific situations of joint attention between a caregiver and a child. This volume focuses on the question of what children may learn from looking at picturebooks, whether printed in a book format, created in a digital format, or self-produced by educationalists and researchers. Interest in the relationship between cognitive processes and children’s literature is growing rapidly, and in this book, theoretical frameworks such as cognitive linguistics, cognitive narratology, cognitive poetics, and cognitive psychology, have been applied to the analysis of children’s literature. Chapters gather empirical research from the fields of literary studies, linguistics and cognitive psychology together for the first time to build a cohesive understanding of how picturebooks assist learning and development. International contributions explore: language acquisition the child’s cognitive development emotional development literary acquisition ("literary literacy") visual literacy. Divided into three parts considering symbol-based learning, co-constructed learning, and learning language skills, this cross-disciplinary volume will appeal to researchers, students and professionals engaged in children’s literature and literacy studies, as well as those from the fields of cognitive and developmental psychology, linguistics, and education.

Book excerpt: Originally published in 1988, this volume presented a new understanding of how teachers in early childhood education helped children learn. It carefully and critically reviews different teaching approaches, and evaluates two innovatory teaching techniques which were at the focus of recent action research studies and which complemented the traditional early childhood curriculum at the time. The book is intended for all those concerned with early education, including students in initial training or those doing inservice courses for children between 3 and 7. Its contents will still be of relevance to people interested in playgroups and parent education.

This book was released on 2015-07-23 with total page 587 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Children are already learning at birth, and they develop and learn at a rapid pace in their early years. This provides a critical foundation for lifelong progress, and the adults who provide for the care and the education of young children bear a great responsibility for their health, development, and learning. Despite the fact that they share the same objective - to nurture young children and secure their future success - the various practitioners who contribute to the care and the education of children from birth through age 8 are not acknowledged as a workforce unified by the common knowledge and competencies needed to do their jobs well. Transforming the Workforce for Children Birth Through Age 8 explores the science of child development, particularly looking at implications for the professionals who work with children. This report examines the current capacities and practices of the workforce, the settings in which they work, the policies and infrastructure that set qualifications and provide professional learning, and the government agencies and other funders who support and oversee these systems. This book then makes recommendations to improve the quality of professional practice and the practice environment for care and education professionals. These detailed recommendations create a blueprint for action that builds on a unifying foundation of child development and early learning, shared knowledge and competencies for care and education professionals, and principles for effective professional learning. Young children thrive and learn best when they have secure, positive relationships with adults who are knowledgeable about how to support their development and learning and are responsive to their individual progress. Transforming the Workforce for Children Birth Through Age 8 offers guidance on system changes to improve the quality of professional practice, specific actions to improve professional learning systems and workforce development, and research to continue to build the knowledge base in ways that will directly advance and inform future actions. The recommendations of this book provide an opportunity to improve the quality of the care and the education that children receive, and ultimately improve outcomes for children.
