Human Learning & Technology

Human Learning and Technology Scientific study of learning Shift from memorization of facts to the ability to employ them Principles of Learning Pre-existing knowledge Learning with understanding Active learning Importance of Pre-Existing Knowledge Building knowledge upon prior knowledge Assessment as a tool to gauge prior knowledge Learning with Understanding The "inert knowledge" problem The role of factual information Narrower scope, deeper understanding Time to learn Organizing and Storing Conditionalizing knowledge Active Learning Children can learn to take an active role in their learning Metacognitive strategies Explaining concepts themselves Monitoring their own understanding, asking for help Planning ahead and predicting Activating their own background knowledge Thinking of activities and directions of inquiry These strategies must be used in all areas of study Technology that Supports Learning Presence of technology is not enough Technology can provide opportunities Programs based on real-world situations Make visible phenomena that can't be seen otherwise Communication with other students, or working scientists Scientific Study of Learning New technologies benefit student learning Curricula based on real-world problems Scaffolds and tools to enhance learning Opportunities for assessment, feedback, reflection, revision Local and global community-building Expanded opportunities for teacher learning National Research Council review of scientific research on learning Conclusions New technologies and research procedures are likely to alter current theoretical conceptions of learning As teachers become more familiar with human learning research and new technologies, they will integrate these new tools in productive ways
