Junge, Barbara – Colo J Educ Res, 1970
In genrral, bilingual children do better in serial learning than on recall. (CK)

Stones, Edgar – Journal of Education for Teaching, 1981
The neglect of the study of pedagogy in teacher education programs is discussed. Excessive emphasis has been placed on the instruction of theory in the preparation of teachers. The practical application of general teaching skills and their effective application to practice is the central element in the study of pedagogy. (JN)

Walkden, F.; Scott, M. R. – International Journal of Mathematical Education in Science and Technology, 1980
A method of study which is inefficient but used by large numbers of students taking courses in mathematics is described. The wide relevance of the problem, for subjects other than mathematics, is also examined. (MP)

Fazio, Barbara B. – Journal of Speech and Hearing Research, 1996
Mathematical performance by 14 first- and second-grade children with specific language impairments (SLI) indicated difficulty with mathematical tasks that required immediate response. Findings suggest that storage and/or retrieval of rote sequential material is difficult for children with SLI. (Author/PB)

Davies, Lynn; Iqbal, Zafar – School Effectiveness and School Improvement, 1997
Investigates whether trainees, tutors, and practicing teachers at a Pakistani teacher-training college felt that training matched the researched factors linked to successful schools. Fewer than half the practicing teachers felt well-prepared; groups could not decide which effectiveness elements should be included. The institution's hidden…

Van Houten, Ron; Rolider, Ahmos – Journal of Applied Behavior Analysis, 1989
Four experiments evaluated flash card use for teaching number facts to elementary-school students with learning difficulties. Effective treatments involved: re-presenting a missed problem after the next item; using error-contingent reprimands; seating the tutor and student knee-to-knee, rather than with a desk between them; and a combination of…

Cook, Guy – ELT Journal, 1994
Repetition and learning by heart, though condemned by pedagogic and acquisition theorists, are two of the most pleasurable, valuable, and efficient language learning activities. Neglect of intimate discourse has led to neglect of the importance of repetition in first language discourse, which has in turn led to the prohibition of repetition and…

Gott, Richard; Johnson, Philip – School Science Review, 1999
Asks whether what is taught in science class only makes sense to someone who already understands science. Discusses school science in terms of four questions: (1) What is to be taught?; (2) What conditions promote learning?; (3) What do students learn?; and (4) What are the cognitive processes in learners' minds? (Contains 17 references.)…

Reese, Hayne W.; And Others – 1989
A cross-sectional study that investigated memory variables in 100 subjects in 4 age ranges (17-22, 40-50, 60-70, and 75-99) found that the 60-70 year olds were more impaired with respect to retrieval than storage and the major problem with memory among the 75-99 year olds was retrieval from short- or long-term memory. Because the study was…

Wang, Alvin Y.; And Others – 1989
Assessing the effect of memory improvement strategies upon long-term forgetting, two studies investigated the influence of popular mnemonic devices (the keyword method and the "method of loci") upon forgetting relative to rote rehearsal. The first study (79 subjects) compared the forgetting of French vocabulary words learned either by…

Wang, Alvin Y. – 1987
A relationship has been hypothesized between metamemory (the self-knowledge of memory processes that an individual can verbalize) and actual memory performance. To explore this relationship, a study was conducted, in partial replication of earlier studies, using the strategy choice paradigm for paired-associate learning (PAL) on a metamemory…

Lopes, Alicia K.; Richman, Charles L. – 1984
Twenty male and 20 female first graders were trained in a paired-associates (PA) learning task to test the hypothesis that instructions to generate interactive mental images of word referents and interactive imagery training administered prior to PA learning facilitate cued recall. Subjects were randomly assigned to one of the following five…

REYNOLDS, JAMES H. – 1966
FIVE EXPERIMENTS WERE RUN AS A SERIES OF INITIAL EXPLORATIONS TO DETERMINE A WORKABLE, RESEARCH DEFINITION OF THE TERM "UNDERSTANDING" AND TO EVALUATE EXPERIMENTALLY ITS RELATIONSHIP TO DRILL, OR ROTE LEARNING. THE FIVE EXPERIMENTS DEALT WITH THE EFFECTS OF A VISUALLY IMPOSED COGNITIVE STRUCTURE UPON ROTE LEARNING, THE EFFECTS UPON ROTE LEARNING…

TRAVERS, ROBERT M.W.; AND OTHERS – 1964
REINFORCEMENT CONCEPTS DERIVED LARGELY FROM RESEARCH OF SUBHUMAN SUBJECTS WERE TESTED FOR APPLICABILITY TO HUMAN-LEARNING SITUATIONS SIMILAR TO THOSE THAT OCCUR IN SCHOOLS. A SERIES OF EXPLORATORY STUDIES CONDUCTED IS DESCRIBED IN PART II OF THIS REPORT. IN PART III, TWO EXPERIMENTS CONDUCTED TO DETERMINE THE REINFORCING VALUE OF DIFFERENT STIMULI…
