I am doing a study on cognitive acceleration in mathematic, seeking for a type of program which will best fit with my context esp. Country and environment. I do appreciate any recommend readings where I can further my reading on that and help me on this study.
In order to accelerate the learning process you need to know how to improve the design of educational materials to make learning more efficient. Try to read about all the effects described by Cognitive Load Theory, specially the worked example effect, the Split attetnion Effect, the Modality effect and the expertise reverse effect. I also would read about SINGAPORE MATH.
Thank you Nelson Souza, I do appreciate your comment and its help me much. Cheers
By the way, Cognitive Load Theory was created by John Sweller, a psychologist from your wonderful country, Australia.. There is also a very similar theory called Cognitive Theory of Multimedia Learning which I think would also help you. This one was created by Mayer, from California. You should take a look in both theories. They investigate almost the same effects, and they both deal with learning in mathematics, geometry, physics etc...
We work cognition in problem solving, using the same improved heuristic strategies. In addition, we integrate cognition with affective variables as attitudes, beliefs, emotions and anxiety, modifying these variables. Thus, we design, apply and evaluate an intervention program in emotional control and mathematical problem solving. This results in a metacognition and increased performance. You can find some work on it in my profile. I hope you find them helpful.
Greetings.
Thank you so much, Ana Caballero Carrasco. I studied the program the CAME (cognitive acceleration through mathematics education) which was developed by Adey, Shayer and Adhami and I see something which is similar to your intervention program, correct me if I am wrong. In the mixed abilities classroom, how is your intervention program deal with slow learner students? In term of accelerate of their cognitive abilities. I'm sorry for asking that, but I am looking for any startegies which will accomodate the slow learner in a way they will not left behind or feel uncomfortable in the classroom. By the way, thank you so much and look forward for more suggestion readings from you. Cheers
You may consider the block model approach, which written by yours truly. In this study, the researcher emphasize on the visualization on solving word problems on operation son whole numbers, fractions and ratio problems.
