The document discusses two studies on exam preparation techniques. The first study found that participants did better at recognizing artists' styles when paintings were presented in a spaced format rather than grouped, even though most participants felt they did better with grouped. The second study found "expanded rehearsal" was more effective than "steady rehearsal". The document also discusses cognitive perspectives on learning, including that it involves active thinking rather than passive receiving of information.
The purpose of this in-service course is to bring awareness to ensuring students are grasping the content being taught. Ensuring that students understand and instructors get an in depth understanding of how to recognize when students are or are not understanding.

We have developed a novel method, Grounded Intersubjective Concept Analysis (GICA), for the analysis and visualization of individual differences in language use and conceptualization. The GICA method first employs a conceptual survey or a text mining step to elicit to elicit from varied groups of individuals the particular ways in which terms and associated concepts are used among the individuals. The subsequent analysis and visualization reveals potential underlying groupings of subjects, objects and contexts.
In order to demonstrate the use of the GICA method, we present the results of two case studies. In the first case, a GICA analysis of health-related concepts is conducted. In the second one, the State of the Union addresses by US presidents are analyzed.
The GICA method can be used, for instance, to support education of heterogeneous audiences, public planning processes and participatory design, conflict resolution, environmental problem solving, interprofessional and interdisciplinary communication, product development processes, mergers of organizations, and building enhanced knowledge representations in semantic web.

Concept Mapping and the Development of Argumentation in the ZPDAlfredo Tifi
This presentation succeeded to solicit the interest for a simple form of written and collaborative argumentation that can be used in association to concept mapping to help adolescent students in developing their potential for thinking in concepts.
In particular the presentation wanted to popularize Vygotsky's theoretical foundations as really capable to describe the transition from thinking in complexes to thinking in concepts. Using simple examples the congress attendees were able to undestand visually the kind of re-wiring happening in their minds as could happen to the students.

Why just teach art the development of the hippocampusbioejjournal
That we intuitively feel a need to teach children what we consider the rudiments of education, approximately as soon as they are socially adept enough to attend school is not unjustified (eg. the “core curriculum standards” adopted by US public schools). However, there is a deeper technical issue to be
considered, one that proves remarkably simple. Though the role of the hippocampus, within the larger function of the brain, is hardly well understood, there is ample evidence of its role in a particular aspect of memory, namely metacognition, or “knowing about knowing.” More neurologically informed consideration for the distinct memory systems that contribute to cognition revels that these rudiments may be entirely artificial and based on “adult-centric” conceptual frames. Moreover, given that the
hippocampus is only fully formed by early adulthood, this would indicate that our educational itinerary may easily be fundamentally flawed, and at least warrants radical reconsideration.

The French Revolution, which began in 1789, was a period of radical social and political upheaval in France. It marked the decline of absolute monarchies, the rise of secular and democratic republics, and the eventual rise of Napoleon Bonaparte. This revolutionary period is crucial in understanding the transition from feudalism to modernity in Europe.

June 3, 2024 Anti-Semitism Letter Sent to MIT President Kornbluth and MIT Cor...Levi Shapiro
Letter from the Congress of the United States regarding Anti-Semitism sent June 3rd to MIT President Sally Kornbluth, MIT Corp Chair, Mark Gorenberg
Dear Dr. Kornbluth and Mr. Gorenberg,
The US House of Representatives is deeply concerned by ongoing and pervasive acts of antisemitic
harassment and intimidation at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT). Failing to act decisively to ensure a safe learning environment for all students would be a grave dereliction of your responsibilities as President of MIT and Chair of the MIT Corporation.
This Congress will not stand idly by and allow an environment hostile to Jewish students to persist. The House believes that your institution is in violation of Title VI of the Civil Rights Act, and the inability or
unwillingness to rectify this violation through action requires accountability.
Postsecondary education is a unique opportunity for students to learn and have their ideas and beliefs challenged. However, universities receiving hundreds of millions of federal funds annually have denied
students that opportunity and have been hijacked to become venues for the promotion of terrorism, antisemitic harassment and intimidation, unlawful encampments, and in some cases, assaults and riots.
The House of Representatives will not countenance the use of federal funds to indoctrinate students into hateful, antisemitic, anti-American supporters of terrorism. Investigations into campus antisemitism by the Committee on Education and the Workforce and the Committee on Ways and Means have been expanded into a Congress-wide probe across all relevant jurisdictions to address this national crisis. The undersigned Committees will conduct oversight into the use of federal funds at MIT and its learning environment under authorities granted to each Committee.
• The Committee on Education and the Workforce has been investigating your institution since December 7, 2023. The Committee has broad jurisdiction over postsecondary education, including its compliance with Title VI of the Civil Rights Act, campus safety concerns over disruptions to the learning environment, and the awarding of federal student aid under the Higher Education Act.
• The Committee on Oversight and Accountability is investigating the sources of funding and other support flowing to groups espousing pro-Hamas propaganda and engaged in antisemitic harassment and intimidation of students. The Committee on Oversight and Accountability is the principal oversight committee of the US House of Representatives and has broad authority to investigate “any matter” at “any time” under House Rule X.
• The Committee on Ways and Means has been investigating several universities since November 15, 2023, when the Committee held a hearing entitled From Ivory Towers to Dark Corners: Investigating the Nexus Between Antisemitism, Tax-Exempt Universities, and Terror Financing. The Committee followed the hearing with letters to those institutions on January 10, 202

Operation “Blue Star” is the only event in the history of Independent India where the state went into war with its own people. Even after about 40 years it is not clear if it was culmination of states anger over people of the region, a political game of power or start of dictatorial chapter in the democratic setup.
The people of Punjab felt alienated from main stream due to denial of their just demands during a long democratic struggle since independence. As it happen all over the word, it led to militant struggle with great loss of lives of military, police and civilian personnel. Killing of Indira Gandhi and massacre of innocent Sikhs in Delhi and other India cities was also associated with this movement.

1. Cognitive views on exam prep:
Cramming V spacing
Study 1: How participants learned about
styles of 12 artists (6 paintings from each)
in 2 conditions (grouped V spaced presentation
of artists’ paintings) then ‘tested’ for artist
recognition
Result:
78% did better in ‘spaced’ condition BUT only
22% thought they did better in ‘spaced’
Conclusion
Cramming: Overload, reduced attention, lower levels of
active involvement resulting in poorer memorisation &
understanding
Study 2: ‘Expanded rehearsal’ better than
‘steady rehearsal’
P Conway, PDE @ UCC 1
Learning as thinking:
cognitive perspective
Kohler (Gestalt): …patterns & structure of
the mind e.g. ‘Aha’, optical illusions
Simon (Cognitive Science/AI/IP):…a
“computerlike” phenomenon,
e.g. working, short & long-term memory
Bandura (Social Cognitive): ….an
observed (vicarious) experience
E.g. Bobo doll experiments and power of role
models and expectation setting
Piaget (Constructivism): ….as an
adaptive function of an organism,
e.g. stages, cognitive conflict & constructivism
P Conway, PDE @ UCC 2

2. Learner as active….
“It would seem as if five minutes
unprejudiced observation of the way an
infant gains knowledge would have
sufficed to overthrow the notion that he is
passively engaged in receiving
impressions…For it would be seen that
the infant reacts to stimuli by activities of
handling, reaching etc. in order to see
what results follow” (Dewey, 1958,
Democracy and Education, p 313)
P Conway, PDE @ UCC 3
Perception
Features,
prototypes
& patterns
P Conway, PDE @ UCC 4

3. Gestalt psychology “insights”
Experience the world in patterns
and meaningful wholes
Insight e.g. ‘Aha’/Eureka moments
Role of problem posing & solving
Rote learning leads to “…static,
cold-storage” knowledge and
“Information severed from thoughtful
action is dead, a mind-crushing
load” (Dewey, 1958, p. 179)
P Conway, PDE @ UCC 5
Teaching
Attention - gain &
maintain via
signals, goals,
curiosity
Frames for
answering
LTM: visual and
verbal coding
techniques, e.g.
initial letters,map
knowledge in
pictures, images
(Roman orators
room by room
technique)
P Conway, PDE @ UCC 6

4. Concept
maps,
classify, order
in hierarchies
P Conway, PDE @ UCC 7
(1) Stages of cognitive
development (I.e. formal
operations in
adolescence)
(2) Cognitive conflict
(3) Learning as an
interpretation rather than
a recording of
experience
(Constructivism)
P Conway, PDE @ UCC 8

5. Misconceptions in learning
concepts in subject areas
Concept learning central to
schooling: Relevant in all subjects
P Conway, PDE @ UCC 9
Varied
‘conceptions’
Minority
‘correct’
As a teacher
what do you
do?
P Conway, PDE @ UCC 10

6. Activity
Why are there seasons?
Write out 1-2 sentences explaining
response to this question (You might
also want to draw or illustrate your
response)
THEN compare with the person beside
you
P Conway, PDE @ UCC 11
Applications in teaching
Active engagement: “minds on” learning
Cognitive conflict, thinking about thinking
No simple or singular approaches (but
warnings about ‘direct’ transmission)
Powerful insights re
CONEPTS: Making thinking visible to support
concept development explore ‘private
universe’;
MEMORY: Visual & verbal coding techniques
THINKING: Meta-cognition & self-regulated
learning (SRL), e.g. reciprocal teaching
KNOWLEDGE: Expertise as deep & flexible
‘knowing’, based on deliberate practice, “the
10,000 hour rule”
P Conway, PDE @ UCC 12
