Improving the transfer of inquiry strategies by using short instructional videos
Five experiments compared the effectiveness of different instructional videos and a no-video control group for the learning and transfer of inquiry strategies. In each experiment, students first tried to discover the laws governing a balance scale simulation. Afterwards, most students watched one of several instructional videos. The most complete video taught the effective strategy of converting each weight into a base-weight equivalent (e.g., bl…
Identifying features of field trips (FTs) that promote a connection to nature, culture, and other people
Connecting with nature offers benefits ranging from conservation activities to greater well-being. What experiences create connection to nature and are they the same as the experiences that create a sense of connection to group members or a foreign culture? This study sampled 27 field trips to different ecosystems and cultures, attended by students in grades 5–11. There was nearly complete consistency across settings and ages. Vivid sensory exper…
Sit still or move more? The impact of fidgeting on creativity
grade (12-13 year old) students, respectively. Study 1 was a within-subject design and compared students' creative ideation on the Alternate Uses Test and a verbal memory task through two conditions: Sit Still (on a regular chair with instructions to not move) or Freedom to Move (on a wiggle stool with ability to move as they wanted). There was a significant effect of condition on novel ideas, as well as number of novel ideas / total ideation (cr…
The (Not-So-)Private Mind
Faulkner’s The Sound and the Fury attempts to represent first-person experience in a radical fashion. In what I call (paradoxically) “free indirect discourse in the first person,” Faulkner ostensibly presents both thought thought and thought below the level of awareness together in one stream of text. The Quentin section in particular relies on an idealistic picture of language as meaningful in itself, apart from any intersubjective context or si…

What moves you? Physical activity strategies in older women
Physical activity improves quality of life and extends independence in older adults. Yet, how to motivate older adults to engage in physical activity is unclear. In the present study, 4108 older women, aged 70-99, reported how they motivated themselves to move when they did not feel like it, and their hours of physical activity and walking each week. Findings indicated that participants who endorsed more strategies had more hours of physical acti…
Feedback choices and their relations to learning are age-invariant starting in middle school
The relation between academic achievement and the spontaneous use of design-thinking strategies
Conversion in Late Antiquity
Give your ideas some legs
Four experiments demonstrate that walking boosts creative ideation in real time and shortly after. In Experiment 1, while seated and then when walking on a treadmill, adults completed Guilford's alternate uses (GAU) test of creative divergent thinking and the compound remote associates (CRA) test of convergent thinking. Walking increased 81% of participants' creativity on the GAU, but only increased 23% of participants' scores for the CRA. In Exp…
A pragmatic perspective on visual representation and creative thinking
This paper offers a cognitive analysis of how visual representations can increase the chances of creativity, while also considering the ways in which they might hinder it. Specifically, it presents four cognitive mechanisms of creativity supported by visualisation: reinterpretation, abstraction, combination and mapping. Each process is described, analysed for potential benefits and pitfalls, and illustrated with examples. Although none of these p…
Theodore of Mopsuestia
Theodore (ca. 350–428) was the bishop of Mopsuestia (Misis in southern Turkey).
Sermons, Late Antiquity
Christian clergy preached sermons to their congregations for the purpose of proselytism, moral exhortation, biblical exposition, and theological education.
Conversion
Religious conversion implies a change from one religious affiliation to another. The basic meaning of ancient terms for conversion bears this out, as Latin conversio centers on physical or moral turning, while Greek metanoia deals with a transformation of the mind.
Godparents, godchildren
Godparenthood was a relationship created when a fully initiated Christian acted as the sponsor for someone undergoing the rite of Christian baptism.
Kinship, spiritual
Spiritual kinship is a type of fictive kinship having religious significance for the participants. Often confirmed through religious ceremonies, spiritual kinship included godparenthood, adoption, and ritual brotherhood. Ties of ritual kinship appear infrequently in Classical Greek and Roman sources.
Fasting
Fasting is the ritual act of abstaining from food. Fasting could include either the complete rejection of food for a prescribed period of time, or the habit of severely restricting one's consumption of food and drink.
Practicing versus inventing with contrasting cases
Being told procedures and concepts before problem solving can inadvertently undermine the learning of deep structures in physics. If students do not learn the underlying structure of physical phenomena, they will exhibit poor transfer. Two studies on teaching physics to adolescents compared the effects of “telling ” students before and after problem solving. In Experiment 1 (N=128), students in a tell-and-practice (T&P) condition were told the re…
Scientific and Pragmatic Challenges for Bridging Education and Neuroscience
Educational neuroscience is an emerging effort to integrate neuroscience methods, particularly functional neuroimaging, with behavioral methods to address issues of learning and instruction. This article consolidates common concerns about connecting education and neuroscience. One set of concerns is scientific: in-principle differences in methods, data, theory, and philosophy. The other set of concerns is pragmatic: considerations of costs, timin…
Intercultural Adaptive Expertise
Giyoo Hatano was an international scholar – an adaptive expert himself. His creative methodologies and theoretical insights have enriched the work of researchers in many countries. How Hatano lived his life and treated others provides enriching insights as well. In this essay, we focus on ‘adaptive expertise’, one of Giyoo Hatano’s major contributions to the field. We explore both the explicit information he provided about adaptive expertise and …
Distributed learning and mutual adaptation
If distributed cognition is to become a general analytic frame, it needs to handle more aspects of cognition than just highly efficient problem solving. It should also handle learning. We identify four classes of distributed learning: induction, repurposing, symbiotic tuning, and mutual adaptation. The four classes of distributed learning fit into a two-dimensional space defined by the stability and adaptability of individuals and their environme…
Inventing to Prepare for Future Learning
Activities that promote student invention can appear inefficient, because students do not generate canonical solutions, and therefore the students may perform badly on standard assessments. Two studies on teaching descriptive statistics to 9th-grade students examined whether invention activities may prepare students to learn. Study 1 found that invention activities, when coupled with subsequent learning resources like lectures, led to strong gain…
Reflection at the Crossroads of Cultures
This paper explores how technologies can transform the obstacles of geographical and cultural distance into new opportunities for learning and personal growth. In particular, it focuses on the potential benefits of reflection in the context of cross-cultural exchange and how technology can bring those benefits to the classroom. Several instances of research explore the uses of technology for promoting cross-cultural contact as a way to expose stu…

Chapter 3
A belief in transfer lies at the heart of our educational system. Most educators want learning activities to have positive effects that extend beyond the exact conditions of initial learning. They are hopeful that students will show evidence of transfer in a variety of situations: from one problem to another within a course, from one course to another, from one school year to the next, and from their years in school to their years in the workplac…

A Time For Telling
Suggestions for improving text understanding often prescribe activating prior knowledge, a prescription that may be problematic if students do not have the relevant prior knowledge to begin with. In this article, we describe research about a method for developing prior knowledge that prepares students to learn from a text or lecture. We propose that analyzing contrasting cases can help learners generate the differentiated knowledge structures tha…
