Learning from (re)experience
Introduction Classroom teachers need to monitor a group of students varying in interest, knowledge, and behavior at the same time that they present a lesson and adapt it on the fly to student questions and understanding. Many areas of expertise are associated with special kinds of perceptual skills, and teaching presents its own perceptual challenges. We discuss the special nature of the expert looking that teachers must develop and how it relate…
Noticing and weighing alternatives in the reflection of regular classroom teaching
Instructional videos are widely used to study teachers’ professional vision. A new technological development in video research is mobile eye-tracking (MET). It has the potential to provide fine-grained insights into teachers’ professional vision in action, but has yet been scarcely employed. We addressed this research gap by using MET video feedback to examine how expert and novice teachers differed in their noticing and weighing of alternative t…
Keeping their attention
Connected and culturally embedded beliefs
Length and distance
Preschoolers often assert that objects becom e closer together when part of the distance between them is occluded (occlu~on = nearer). Piaget argued that this is due to young children's use of a topological spatial representation. Three studies explored the occlusion = nearer phenomenon. In Study 1, children who asserted that occlusion -- nearer nonvfl~iess picked the same stick before and after occlusion as just fitting between 2 points. Study 2…
Measurement as a tool for thought
Deux experiences etudient les relations entre les procedures de mesure (comptage, alignement) et le raisonnement d'enfants d'âge prescolaire et scolaire sur la quantite
Consequences of Skill
A general orientation toward the study of skills and their development is outlined, in which analyses of representation, transfer, and context are used to explore the consequences of developing a specific skill. This general approach is then applied to the study of abacus training and its implications for school achievement and cognitive development. Previous studies of abacus skill are reviewed, and two new studies are reported. Previous researc…
