6. Discussion
• Cognitive science
– Focusing on memory, self-regulated learning, and
interface between emotion and cognition
– Blended states of emotion can affect learning, cognition,
and motivation
– Baker, D’Mello, Rodrigo and Graesser (2009) identified
five that could result in poorer learning
12. Discussion (Cognitive Science)
• Kostons, et al. (2012) noted:
– Modeling techniques increase self-
regulation and task-selection
– Students feel as if they have more
control
– Increasing self-regulation, task-
selection and a student’s control over
learning can prevent….
14. Discussion (Cognitive Science)
• Lewandowsky, Yang, Newell and Kalish (2012)
noted:
• Working memory is imperative for
higher level cognitive functions
• Not equally distributed across all tasks
• Direct-access region is a temporary
cohesive agent that binds item
representations for later use (chunking)
18. Discussion
• Educational Neuroscience
• Bringing neuroscientific discoveries
to the classroom
• Help students learn
• Help teachers teach
• Help develop curriculum to support
both
20. Discussion (Educational
Neuroscience)
• We have an intrinsic ability to build upon what we
already know
– It’s more difficult to learn new,
unrelated tasks because there hasn’t
been an association
– Our brains work harder with new
material
23. Discussion (Constructivism)
• Conner (2013) defines constructivism as:
– The process of understanding
information by connecting it to pre-
existing knowledge
• Includes social cultural constructivism
24. Discussion (Constructivism)
• Bay, Bagceci and Cetin (2012) discussed the
classroom as:
– A place where learning occurs
through authentic tasks with
• Collaboration
• Teachers are guide students
• Students are independent learners,
responsible for their experiences
27. Discussion (Technology)
• Neo, et al. (2013) and Fessakis et al. (2013)
shared:
– Computer Assisted Instruction (CAI) to
provide multi-sensory learning through
games and problem solving
– Multimedia Integrated Learning
Environments (MILE) connected blended
environments for blogs, discussions, team
projects
28. Discussion (Technology)
Fessakis et al. (2013) noted:
• Presence of interactive analysis graphs
increased student participation and
intensity
• Also attributed to increasing students’
self-regulating skills
29. Discussion (applicability)
•Navy Chief Petty Officer 365
(MCPON, 2013)
– Year-round training initiative to train future
leaders
– Classroom, lecture-based training
– No assessments or application
– Defined by Sailors as “boring”
33. Discussion (applicability)
– Through the creative combination and
application of the topics discussed, a new
curriculum can be designed for the future
Navy leaders.
– Lessons that will inspire, be relevant,
have applications designed in to the
content, and will not end up sounding
like…
