Guided Cognition for Learning: Unsupervised Learning and the Design of Effective Homework

Guided Cognition for Learning: Unsupervised Learning and the Design of Effective Homework details a new instructional design approach called Guided Cognition where homework tasks are designed to guide learners to engage in specific, observable cognitive events that are hypothesized to elicit underlying theoretical cognitive processes that result in learning. Outlining the results of twenty-one experiments over the course of eight years, the book tells a significant story on the generality of Guided Cognition instructional design to improve comprehension and recall by students of varying ages and ability levels. Compares Guided Cognition to other types of instructional designAnalyzes how the surface structure of Guided Cognition tasks relate to underlying psychological processesDiscusses the effects of the internet on learningPresents applications that facilitate lifelong learningIncludes an appendix of frames and guidelines for authoring Guided Cognition questions and tasks INDICE: 1.
