Sciences of learning and development
This commentary extends and amplifies aspects of the Cantor, Osher, Berg, Steyer and Rose (2018 Cantor, P., Osher, D., Berg, J., Steyer, L., & Rose, T. (2018). Maleability, plasticity, and individuality: How children learn and develop in context. Applied Developmental Science. doi:10.1080/10888691.2017.1398649[Taylor & Francis Online], [Web of Science ®] , [Google Scholar]) discussion about what we know about the nature of learning and its implic…
What Use Is Educational Assessment
educational systems; test-based evidence; assessment costs and benefits; education policy; accountability; systems monitoring; student placement; classroom assessment; digital learning
Assessment of Complex Cognition
THE SEVEN articles in this special issue are\nconcerned with the challenges of assessing\ncomplex aspects of cognition in the domains of mathematics, reading, history, and science. Each describes the design of assessments and their interpretive use, with a particular focus on assessments closely tied to classroom instruction. Individually and collectively, they make valuable contributions, highlighting many conceptual and practical considerations…
Professional Development in Integrating Technology Into Teaching and Learning
The literature base on technology professional development for teachers reveals that there is a long way to go in understanding methods of effective practice with respect to the various impacts of these activities on teaching and learning. In the No Child Left Behind era, with programs like Preparing Tomorrow’s Teachers to Use Technology, the Fund for the Improvement of Post Secondary Education, and E-rate (the schools and library portion of the …
Large-Scale Assessments That Support Learning
Large-scale assessments can and should support learning. But for that to happen, greater clarity is needed about the underlying constructs, or aspects of thinking and learning, that are the most important targets for assessment. This article describes the construct problem that has long existed in achievement testing, and argues that current research in the cognitive sciences, measurement, and technology make this an opportune time to make a sign…
The Motivational and Academic Consequences of Elementary Mathematics Environments
This study examined the effects of a videodisc-based mathematical problem-solving series known as The Adventures of Jasper Woodbury, as implemented by one school district within a constructivist-inspired reform of its math curricula. The motivational and academic consequences of both the specific innovation and the broader reforms were examined in 19 fifth-grade classrooms in two pairs of closely matched schools. One pair of schools served higher…

Spatial Knowledge Acquisition by Children
Our purpose is to examine spatial knowledge acquisition via route learning processes. To gain as much control as possible, yet study learning in actual environments, we conducted field experiments using an unfamiliar suburban neighborhood and a subject population of 9- to 12-year-old children whose activity spaces are most highly oriented to the neighborhood level. In addition to multipletrial route learning, we gave subjects a battery of tasks i…
Expertise in a Computer Operating System
This article describes a three-part empirical approach to understanding the development of expertise within the UNIX1 operating system. We studied UNIX users with varying levels of expertise. The first part of our research attempted to ascertain the nature of their conceptualizations of the UNIX system. The second part measured users' performance in tasks requiring them to comprehend and produce UNIX commands. The third part was a longitudinal ra…
Information Contained in the Encoded Representation of the Stimulus
Aspects of stimulus encoding were assessed in two experiments by comparing confidence ratings given to actual stimuli with ratings given to variants of the stimuli that systematically distorted identity and position information about individual components. The results indicated that even after a single trial the encoded representation of the stimulus contained information about the identity and position of all individual components and the relati…
A biased test of the encoding shift hypothesis
A reply to Frender and Doubilet on the measurement of clustering
