Since the publication of the first edition of "Computers as
Cognitive Tools" in 1993, rapid changes have taken place in the
uses of technology for educational purposes and in the theories
underlying such uses. Changes in perspectives on thinking and
learning are guiding the instructional design of computer-based
learning environments.
"Computers as Cognitive Tools, Volume II: No More Walls" provides
examples of state-of-the-art technology-based research in the field
of education and training. These examples are theory-driven and
reflect the learning paradigms that are currently in use in
cognitive science. The learning theories, which consider the nature
of individual learning, as well as how knowledge is constructed in
social situations, include information processing, constructivism,
and situativity. Contributors to this volume demonstrate some
variability in their choice of guiding learning paradigms. This
allows readers the opportunity to examine how such paradigms are
operationalized and validated.
An array of instructional and assessment approaches are described,
along with new techniques for automating the design and assessment
process. New considerations are offered as possibilities for
examining learning in distributed situations. A multitude of
subject matter areas are covered, including scientific reasoning
and inquiry in biology, physics, medicine, electricity, teacher
education, programming, and hypermedia composition in the social
sciences and ecology.
This volume reconsiders the initial camp analogy posited in 1993
edition of "Computers as Cognitive Tools," and presents a mechanism
for breaking camp to find new summits.
