Investigators have moved back and forth between design efforts and
basic studies in cognition to improve both application and
fundamental knowledge. This volume's theme is this interaction
between practice and science with the opportunity for reflecting on
findings in order to understand them and suggesting improved forms
of application and their underlying explanation. This is seen in
various arenas including theory-based computer-assisted instruction
for teaching mathematics, the design of communities of learning in
elementary schools, teaching in the context of problem-solving
situations and reasoning with models, self-explanation as a highly
effective learning activity, conceptual change in medical training
and health education, and workplace training in electronic
troubleshooting. The results of extensive long-term experience and
analysis in each of these areas are insightfully reported by the
well-known contributors to this volume. Special features of this
fifth edition include: * The work of eminent cognitive scientists
in the design and evaluation of educational and training
environments to increase current understanding of learning and
development, as this understanding is applied to innovative
instructional programs and teaching methods. * A description of
learning theory and principles as well as implications and examples
on research and development on educational application. * A
presentation on the 10-year change in perspective on research and
development in problem solving environments that invite inquiry
about academic information and skills in the context of instruction
of elementary school children. * An innovative approach to math and
science instruction in which teaching is oriented around
constructing, evaluating, and revising models. * An examination of
the process of self-explaining, which involves explaining to one's
self in an attempt to make sense of a new situation. * A
description of a long-term program of cognitive task analysis and
instructional design on problem solving in the operation of complex
equipment. * An investigation on the acquisition of clinical
reasoning skills and the understanding of biomedical concepts in
both professional medicine and the health practices of the lay
population.
