  • Implications for educational practice of the science of learning and development

    Open AccessLinda Darling-Hammond, Lisa Flook et al.ARTICLEApplied Developmental Science2020

    This article draws out the implications for school and classroom practices of an emerging consensus about the science of learning and development, outlined in a recent synthesis of the research. Situating the review in a developmental systems framework, we synthesize evidence from the learning sciences and several branches of educational research regarding well-vetted strategies that support the kinds of relationships and learning opportunities n…

  • The Digital Youth Network

    Brigid Barron, Amber Levinson et al.BOOKDigital Youth Network2014

    An ambitious project to help economically disadvantaged students develop technical, creative, and analytical skills across a learning ecology that spans school, community, home, and online. The popular image of the “digital native”—usually depicted as a technically savvy and digitally empowered teen—is based on the assumption that all young people are equally equipped to become innovators and entrepreneurs. Yet young people in low-income communit…

  • Conducting Video Research in the Learning Sciences

    Sharon J Derry, Roy Pea et al.ARTICLEJournal of the Learning Sciences2010

    Focusing on expanding technical capabilities and new collaborative possibilities, we address 4 challenges for scientists who collect and use video records to conduct research in and on complex learning environments: (a) Selection: How can researchers be systematic in deciding which elements of a complex environment or extensive video corpus to select for study? (b) Analysis: What analytical frameworks and practices are appropriate for given resea…

  • Interest and Self-Sustained Learning as Catalysts of Development

    Open AccessBrigid BarronARTICLEHuman Development2006

    Adolescents often pursue learning opportunities both in and outside school once they become interested in a topic. In this paper, a learning ecology framework and an associated empirical research agenda are described. This framework highlights the need to better understand how learning outside school relates to learning within schools or other formal organizations, and how learning in school can lead to learning activities outside school. Three p…

  • When Smart Groups Fail

    Brigid BarronARTICLEJournal of the Learning Sciences2003

    In this study I investigated how collaborative interactions influence problem-solving outcomes. Conversations of twelve 6th-grade triads were analyzed utilizing quantitative and qualitative methods. Neither prior achievement of group members nor the generation of correct ideas for solution could account for between-triad differences in problem-solving outcomes. Instead, both characteristics of proposals and partner responsiveness were important c…
